Swedish (Flygande Jakob). English (Flying Jacob)? Why? Why not?

[Jaximus-Lion]

This is one of the most unusual meals in the Swedish kitchen and it tastes good, i mean it. Flying Jacob is a Swedish casserole composed of chicken, cream, chilli sauce, bananas, roasted peanuts and bacon. The dish is baked in an oven and is usually served with rice and a salad.

The dish was invented by Ove Jacobsson who worked in the air freight industry, hence the name. The recipe was first published in Swedish cooking magazine Allt om mat in 1976

Swedish cooking book (Allt om mat).

Is it banana like green banana or plantain or is it regular banana?
If so... I'm not liking the sound of this.
I went to an Ethiopian restaurant and had. Their banana bread and the lamb and it was a very bad idea. It was awful.
Sorry to say. Fermented banana bread is gross!

[Jaximus-Lion]

Normal regular bananas, but! This tastes good, not perfect, bu good

[lilyanony1]

No thanks sorry been burned once already and don't like banana that much as it is

[purplepoppy]

I'd be tempted to leave the bananas out or replace them with sweet potatoes. Otherwise it looks quite interesting.

The only Swedish casserole I'm familiar with is janssons frestelse.

[Jaximus-Lion]

I am surprised that you are fimilar with that meal. It's on the list to post here.

[nolabels]

It sure looks good!

The description of ingredients definitely sounds like an odd combination, but I'd absolutely try it.

I wonder about its invention. Was it a thought-out plan or was it a session of grabbing whatever ingredients were in sight and then checking out the results?

[NamerOfStars]

I've never had it, but it certainly sounds tasty.

[Brainsbeforebeauty]

Sorry, think I’ll pass on this one.. Not sure it’s something I’d like. Banana and chili sauce?

[Sevenpointfive]

i'd try it but i don't get the bananas even though i love fried bananas/plantain

[TacosRAwesome]

I'll try it. I mean it has the same energy as fish fingers and custard so who knows?

[AviatorTom]

Sounds delicious

[exitseven]

NAH, I don't think so.

[NathanDavis]

[BLP11520]

[Cubus]

Why "Jacob" lol? :D

[Jaximus-Lion]

Read what i wrote.

[Cubus]

Still sounds weird.

[FreyaRed]

Weird combo.

[Blackcupcake]

it has bananas…👀

[Jaximus-Lion]

Oh really! And?

[Blackcupcake]

lmfao… wait for the bullies to show up…

well, I am Swedish myself but not a fan of flygande Jakob simply because I don’t like mixing food and fruits hahaha

[Jaximus-Lion]

I know it's a weird combo, but still it's a nice mix. It's not for everyone
