    I always enjoy your vintage recipe cards, but this one really caught my eye.
    Living in Sweden, my Swedish wife nor I have ever seen this dish. But it sounds good so we’ll be giving it a try.
    One thing I would like to point out is that the “anchovy” the recipe calls for is not the non-Scandinavia salty one you get in the rest of the world. Ours is sweet. So unless you can get the Swedish variety, I’d suggest one should leave them off.
