Burkmat?
Fishy?
There are numerous classics on a Swedish X-Mas smorgasbord, but there are few that are as well-known as the one in 17. DELICATESSEN. Folk etymology keeps telling us that the name comes from the opera singer Per Adolf Janzon, but with a 40 year discrepancy of Janzon's death and the first recorded common use of the dish, this is now regarded as less likely. Instead, the name is related to a certain Elvira Stigmark and her cook Mrs. Boberg, who named the potato and anchovy gratin after the movie Janssons frestelse starring the cook's favourite actor Edvin Adolphson. The movie is in turn based on a burlesque comedy from 1914. The poem with the same name and other fascinating facts is offered by various Lindemen and a Janssons frestelse with a knife was part of Klurendrejeriet® 2007 as a clue to 14. JUST DO IT!. Correct answer: Ja (7.5 points)
