I didn’t think you were being critical and I’m glad to learn more about Swedish food and cooking. I do wish I could have asked my mom why she named her recipe that way. Hope you’ll share some of your recipes soon, especially anything with capers :)

I hope you realise that my comment wasn’t a criticism… I didn’t mean to offend – I was just commenting… :-)

Capers are used in Swedish food but they have obviously been brought in from the Med or Russia. We do pickle a lot of stuff (as is the tradition in most of northern Europe) and capers fit the bill! We use it in sauces and as a flavouring, with beef and fish.
Your recipe is similar to pickled herring, sill. In the UK (where I live) you can buy it as rollmop herrings. There are as many recipes for this in Sweden as there are families. The most common ones, however, use neither Tabasco or capers, and always use pre-salted herring, not cooked.

Sorry, this turned into a bit of a lecture! Anyway, Just know that I didn’t mean to offend you!

I wondered if capers are often in Swedish food because I’ve previously only seen them in Mediteranean food. Thanks for your comments ladies!

Sounds good though!
