RE: Swedish Christmas Cookies

in #life7 years ago

It took me a minute to figure out what some of these were supposed to be 😅
They're really cute tho :P

But man... How dare you make me hungry??! ALFJSLKJ
But now I'm wondering what a pepper cookie would even taste like +_+) Probably the only thing I've had peppers in is rotel?? I think?

Sort:  

It is a cookie with lots of different spices. This one has heather-honey, ginger, black pepper, cinnamon and some other spices that I am not sure of (my wife made the dough).

Ohhh... wow, that really does sound good +q+)
Now I feel silly for thinking of chili pepper cookies, but... I would be dumb enough to try it XDDD

Cinnamon cookies are really good though! I've never heard of putting black pepper in cookies??
But I think peanut butter cookies are my favorite.

Man... I haven't made homemade cookies since I was a kid XD
I'm kinda nostalgic for it now 💕

This is Scandinavia. Chilli peppers was not known here before the early eighties.

Here is an old song with the actual recipe... It is from a Norwegian song-play for children. In the play the baker-apprentice mix up the recipe and adds 1 kilo of black pepper.

Early Eighties?!! 😨
I know, logically, that not all foods were available 'round the world, and there's lots of places that still don't have much imports... but it's still shocking just to really think about it 😅

Hrnn... the video isn't really working for me 😅
I'll try to watch it over WiFi in town later today 😋
Thanks for linking it! 🌟

Well, you could get it if you wanted , but Nordic food is not traditionally spicy and definitely not hot, so most people didn't bother learning about such things. Remember that we have lived thousands of years from pork and ryebread.

Later chili became all the rage as Scandinavians like things that hurt... just look at the way we consume alcohol for example! Here is another video for you when you reach town-wifi. It is a Danish gastro-flagellant that actually has made a career of it.

Pork and ryebread??? +_+)
Nutritionists always act like you'll die young without a lot of variety in your diet... did people really used to eat such a basic meal LOL?

Ahh, the videos are neat, but I can't understand a word that either of them say XDD;;;
It was kind of amusing to hear him say the names of countries tho LOL
Also I have no idea what a gastro-flagellant is o . o)

Maybe they did. The North was a poor place in the past.

There was some subtitles on the last video, but all he says is -"this is good"
