What am I thinking of right now?

Meatloaf?

It wasn't until I got to the last line and realized you were talking about how to stretch your food budget......
Go to a local food bank?
Rice, dried beans, beef bullion cubes?

Pöpcørn | Recipes with the Swedish Chef | Muppets

Pöpcørn? Aha. The Swedish Chef maybe isn't so Swedish after all. He's Norwegian as well:)

@ Moomin
How well can you understand what the chef is saying?

The Muppet Show is subtitled when they show it here. No, I don't understand anything. :)
Actually it's all gibberish and it's also strange that the chef sing like some German songs. But I think I read somewhere that Jim Henson came up with the character when visiting Hamburg in Germany.
There is also another funny theory.
Chef Lars "Kuprik" Bäckman claims that he is an inspiration to the Swedish Chef. He was struck by stage fright at a brief feature in the American TV Morning Show in 1969 and made no more than incomprehensible sounds. However, the fact that Swedish Chef had something to do with the incident is denied by scriptwriter Jerry Juhl, who worked closely with puppet creator Jim Henson

In case any wonder, Popcorn is also the Swedish and Norwegian name for popcorn and pronounced the same. Like Cörn Fläkes for that matter:)

We in Sweden love crawfish just as in Louisiana.

I won't eat anything that is boiled alive. :-(

Then I guess you guys don't eat oysters alive as well...
And fish as well that are left to suffocate for some minutes before the die whereas crawfish and lobsters dies after a few seconds...

If we are going to debate the morality of how you prepare your food, it should probably spin off into a separate thread.

I am an omnivore like everyone but I have been eating meat substitutes a little more frequently. Found a Veggie Pattie (Hamburger substitute) at First Watch that reminds me enough of a hamburger that I have been eating it.

I agree with the omnivore bit. I look at food like going on a safari. It is all a target of opportunity.

Ok. We in the Nordic countries have some very odd fish dishes. Like Surströmming, Lutefisk, Hákarl that are traditional dishes. It demands an acquired taste though. But Japanese people seems to like it as well.
However Kalles Kaviar, Swedish lightly smoked cod roe. The Japanese don't approve that at all. Very strange...

At last. Finally I know why the sausage Hot Dog is called that.
To the US came the Hot Dog with German immigrants, the first sausage stand was opened in New York in 1871. The name Hot Dog derives from the German nickname for the sausage - dachshund. The body shape, as you know, is similar to a larger sausage:)

LOL:)
Here we call a dachshund for a Tax https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tax
But also for a Promenadlimpa a Promenade Loaf:) Well we dog owners does:)

Oh. But that make sense. Before we called the sausage a Hot Dog it was called wiener korv.

To add further to the enjoyment add some grated VERY strong Cheddar cheese and a good screw of fresh ground black pepper then pop back into the oven for a few seconds (just log enough to soften but not melt the cheese).

And watch out - if you are not careful it is quite possible to burn your lips and roof of your mouth - if it does that then it was too hot, and if it doesn't it wasn't hot enough.....
