First Swedish lobster sold

Yesterday was the yearly premiere for Lobsters. The swedish ones went for up to 1700 SEK per kilo. (you can check this in your currency on Yahoo or other currency converters) but rest assured, it's quite expensive, especially as there is not all that much meat on a lobster....

There was 23 kilos of swedish lobsters available and all was sold.

Swedes are more and more keeping up traditions like this, the years first swedish fresh potato and the first swedish strawberries also cost 100 times more than what they cost a week or so after the premiere in the shops.

Well, maybe it's good to keep the wheels rolling....

Sheep in tree rescued by firemen

In south of Sweden there was an alarm to the firedepartment. Please help us to get our sheep down from the tree... At first the firemen thought is was a joke but it turned out that a hungry sheep had climbed a fallen tree to the height of about 6 meters to get some juicy fresh leaves it spotted from the ground. It was the first time to help a sheep down said the firemen, usually cats are the one's that need help to get down. A group of kids who followed the drama afterwards thought the sheep should be named Tarzan after it's brave climbing adventure.

Hot dog breads

Record sales this summer for hot dog breads

Hot dog breads has been difficult to find in shops this summer. Football championships and other events has increased sales. Hot dogs are incredibly popular in Sweden and just about everyone has eaten them as they have gotten hungry when in the city. Each and every day one of the largest producers make two million hot dog breads to satisfy the consumers (note that Sweden has a population of about 9 million people). It's actually a perfect quick meal when your outside. Kids also love them and it's one of the most popular meals at a kids party.

So how do you enjoy a hot dog? Well the basic add on would be tomato ketchup and mustard. To this you can add sweet relish (bostongurka in Swedish) and other more or less interesting things.
