FLYGANDE JAKOB.

Think it's all clean eating and pickled fish? Think again. All Scandinavian countries have their sinful dishes - and most of these belong to Sweden. In our new segment here on the blog, we test and try dubious Scandi dishes (the nicer kind, not the boiled sheep head or anything) and report back if you should bother trying it at home. This week, we tried Flygande Jacob - or Flying Jacob, as it is also known (Well, that's what it means, anyway). Back in the Seventies, the dish was invented by a man called Ove Jacobsson who worked in the air freight industry. The recipe first appeared in Allt om Matt in 1976.

An 'oddball' recipe of Swedish origin that I've adapted slightly. The dish was invented by Ove Jacobsson who worked in the air freight industry, hence the name. The recipe was first published in Allt om mat in 1976.
