I just had black sausage (blood sausage) with french fries. I put traditional lingonberry sauce on the sausages and Hot Mexican chili sauce on the fries. I found out that lingonberry sauce and chili sauce go well together. I recommend you to try.

Sweet and spicy combined is often a very good combination.

We had a local Japanese place that put a spicy tuna in a sweet tofu wrapper, that stuff was incredible!

Beery barley beef stew cooked in the slowcooker is the most amazing smell when you walk in the house after a 104km bike ride. Tasted pretty awesome too. :D

Vaccinium vitis-idaea - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lingonberry)


Vaccinium vitis-idaea (cowberry or lingonberry) is a short evergreen shrub in the heath family that bears edible sour fruit, native to boreal forest and Arctic tundra throughout the Northern Hemisphere from Eurasia to North America. It is seldom cultivated, but fruit is commonly collected in the wild.

lingonberry is very nice, needs to travel beyond scandinavia, loved the lingonberry juice when I was in Sweden, can't get it in the UK, other than some low grade stuff in Ikea

[schmenke]

The only lingonberries I've seen in the wild outside of Finland are patridge berries in Newfoundland. I believe they are the same berry.


Good thread, btw, although I rarely have much to contribute :uhoh:

Strange, I can get it right down the road here in the US. Until not long ago I had no idea what it was exactly, but I could buy it. :)

I recently bought lingonberry stout, which was nice IMO.

Well, this year I am roasting a duck for Christmas lunch, I'll use the giblets and neck to make a nice sauce with some red wine, onions a few roast veg and some redcurrent jelly.

It has been a long time since we used to pile round the crumblies on Christmas Day, and fill up on Turkey and all the trimmings, followed by dropping off during Mary Poppins or the queens chinwag!

Oh, lovely. Goose for me tomorrow night as my German Christmas dinner, before heading home for turkey.

Duck? Goose? Do the Germans eat goose at Christmas? What's wrong with people, doesn't anybody eat ham at Christmas?

We're on the east coast of the US, but this lingonberry is on a store shelf, not in plant form. :)
