I actually had that at the IKEA food court a few weeks ago.  NOT recommended.

What's the white gloop?  Mayonnaise på svenska?

That could be mayonnaise ("majonnäs") but it's probably crème fraîche. A fried egg would be more appropriate though.

Hey--thanks, all. Definitely them

Crimestick--if I may--what does "Tages" mean?

Tage is the middle name of one of the members. Had they been English or American, they would be Tage's - but in Swedish we don't do the '. Also, it's pronounced [taah-ges].

Speaking of Swedish Merseybeat, what was that compilation that Tom was playing songs from that had Swedish Beat from the 60's? I searched the recaps but couldn't find it...It was played in 2007 since I am not that far in the archives.
