Worst Hors-D'ouvre
What is the appetizer that when you go to a party and you see it, you go "oh no!"?

Sounds vile!! If anyone has any nominees for the "worst recipe on the side of the package", submit that too!

I pretty much like all food, but there is a typical Swedish hors D'ouvre that is very common in summer and around christmas. It's called sill in Swedish, and it's raw herring put in vinager together with salt, sugar and some other spices. Many foreigners love it, though.
Because this dish is so common, people always comment and nag if you don't eat a lot of it. It's like just because it's common, everybody is supposed to like it. Must be an effect of democracy...

So at Swedish parties, everyone's breath smells like RAW FISH in VINEGAR!?!?!?! UGH!!! It sound like kitty paradise, but it takes a little of the bloom off the Swedish rose for me!Originally posted by C Elegans:

A lot of people eat that in Denmark too - that and smoked "sild" (as it is called in Denmark) /herring.Originally posted by C Elegans:

But not as Hors D'ouvers.
Actually I don't think there is a general type of hors D'ouvers in Denmark, most people just severe what ever they like.
As for the worst - well I must say, since I am very ahmm... "selective" (
Insert signature here.
@Jaker: The sill is a traditional course, and traditionally it is also washed down with a snaps, ie a shot of some strong alcohol drink like Absolut Vodka. That kills off the smell of raw fish
If you ever come to Sweden let's say in business, and your invited out at dinner in summer time, you'll most surely encounter sill. My advice is: eat the potatoes.
@Xandax: I don't mind raw fish in general, I like pickled salmon and sushi. It's the sickly sweet taste of the sill I dislike.
The Danish smoked shrimps are delicious
Perhaps the smoked herring is good, too?

Sill sounds delicious, but then I love vinegar. I've actually sat and drunk a bottle of vinegar before.Originally posted by C Elegans:

Peanut butter, mayonaise, and lettuce sandwich snackin' squares. I have a friend who not only serves these at parties, but she eats them regularly. Not myself nor none of our friends have been brave enough to try this concoction. It just seems wrong although she swears it as a delicacy.
Crush enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentations of the women.

Hey, my old topic makes a reappearance!
Those sandwiches sound pretty weird, Ned, but you can never tell with peanut butter, it's pretty good stuff. My dad eats peanut butter and pickle sandwiches, I've been eating them since I was a kid. Everyone is grossed out by them, but if I ever get someone to try it they usually say "hey, that's actually pretty good."
