What did you cook it with? … The heat of the moment?

Nice tableware but the meal looks a bit “Soviet”. I’m sure it’s very tasty though.

Eggs , (pickled?)herring and something else that im not sure what.. eigher way, not really sure whats the problem here. Maybe i would just complain over the ammount of it as i would starve with that.
I guess they had no idea of what it would be so only to blame themselves. I would enjoy it. Really would.

A nice lesson that cultures can be very different!
Having said that, I lived in Sweden for a while and probably wouldn’t ask for a Swedish Christmas dinner again haha, except for maybe the meatballs

If you need any foreign aid over there in Sweden let us know. We’ll put some Trocaire boxes together.

Aww I feel really bad for you cause I’m sure you went to a lot of effort to make this.
Can you give a bit more backstory on both who asked you to cook and why and also what the food is?
Oh, if only you had recorded their reaction to this, it would have been Father Ted quality pissing myself humour.

That does look horrible.

My Swedish sister-in-law made Jansson’s Temptation (potato/onion/cream/anchovies) for Christmas one year. She prepared it in Dublin then drove to Mayo with it. It became noticeably smelly by Castlebar so we transferred it directly into the bin on arrival.

Herring, egg and pike caviar, thats a great dinner for me. I would add boiled young potatoes with butter and shot of vodka

Scandinavian food is appallingly sparse. But I’m going to guess there’s relatively little obesity.

“The main will be rotten fish, stored in a jar underground for one year. For dessert, frozen salt licorice pie, followed by a digestif of a traditional highly alcoholic seaweed drink from the 1300s. Nollaig shona daoibh!”.

I hope you gave them a warning,
I live in the Netherlands and can sometimes be momentarily partial to a pickled herring.
However, I will never ever subject myself to surstromming again. That shite is donkey grub.

Well this would be considered an abysmal Christmas dinner in Sweden as well.

You might have to move home after that monstrosity, any way Happy Christmas.

And at no point anyone asked what dinner would be?
Sounds like it’s a them problem.
Enjoy your dinner of deconstructed eggs and grey!
What in the fuck

Oh my gosh this gave me a laugh. What an interesting looking Christmas dinner!
It appears to be two halves of two different eggs..?
What did they expect? My mum was Swedish and if you asked her the same this is exactly what you’d expect to be served!
Hahaha well it’ll be a Christmas to remember anyway
Sweden.. Great looking women, terrible Christmas dinners
Why did no one ask what would be served for dinner
What type of slime have you used to marinade the fish?
To be fair they did ask you to cook it.
Jesus Christ…there’s been some hot contenders for shite looking dinners today but this would be hard to beat
Cmon
Herring is lovely. And even better with akvavit.

I quite enjoyed my Swedish Xmas dinner…. (I was in Sweden though).
You should have warned them, comes across like a mean trick. Genuine upset indeed.
