Thought I’d ask this because I want to discover more foods from across the world
(Also I shouldn’t have to say this to americans, please state where you are from and state where you are from without acronyms or shortened names because I’ve seen US Defaultism on lemmy and not all of us are going to know your acronyms considering we’re global users)
Hmmm. I will extend it to anything Norwegian. “Pinnekjøtt” usually a Christmas dish.
Cured (salted and/or smoked) sheep ribs. (Often lamb)
The ribs are then separated to individual ribs.
You water it for 16 hours, changing the water once. Or they will be too salty. Then you steam them until the meat releases from the bones (3ish hours)
Serves with mashed swedes, sausage, and potatoes, using the water as a sort of gravy (it’s full of fat)
mashed Swedes
Tell me, Dr Hannibal Lecter: what is a ‘mashed Swede’?
Heh, I see my autocorrect gave it a calital S. But since you askes, I believe the american word is rutabaga. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rutabaga?
Also jokingly called the “Nordic orange” because of its high content of vitamin C.
I forgot to mention that we so add a carrot and milk to make it more orange puree
mashed Swedes
what is a ‘mashed Swede’?
the american word is rutabaga
Ah! It’s called ‘swede’ because it’s short for ‘swedish turnip’! I’ve never heard it called that. It was a complete surprise (and my nephews are Swedes, so…) ;-)
I’ve never heard it called Rutabaga either. We call it just ‘turnip’, and up to this moment I never knew what a Rutabaga tasted like, despite having turnip just the other day. Wow! So it’s a Yank word?
My dad would make mashed turnip with a little nutmeg or cinnamon. It was awesome.
Anyway, I’m learning SO MUCH today. Thanks!
