Re: PESO: Swedish Deli

[Paul Stenquist]

It was branded and in a jar. It had been imported from Sweden. The deli 
made their own as well, but I thought it might be more prudent to buy 
the sealed jar since it was at least five hours before it would see a 
refrigerator. I'm sorry but I don't recall the brand. It was certainly 
one I'd never seen before in the US.

sometimes, when desiring something special, I go back to my NYC roots 
and
mail order from a local business there:

Most of the deli meats looked pretty standard. But they sold their
homemade potato sausage and Swedish meatballs. They also had lutfisk,
which, if I remember correctly, is lye-cured, dried fish. My dad used
to make it.  It was actually quite good. There were quite a few 
Swedish
and scandinavian cheese, including Swedish Farmer's Cheese. They also
had numerous other kinds of canned fish, including various kinds of
anchovies, herring, and sardines.
