Hi Carls,

Oh, and knäckebröd is a hard bread, something of a Swedish speciality.

In english it would be "Cracker bread", because you crack it before you eat it. It's about as big as a vinyl record or a laserdisc.

It's got a hole in the middle because you used to hang it on long wooden staffs under your ceiling to keep it dry.

Ah, I see. I do confess, I did wonder!

LOL!
"Ein, swei, drei KNÄCKEBRÖD!!!" comes from a concert at a camp I ws at when I was a boy scout.
I think it was some mad austrians who shouted it from the stage...  :-D

I spent a summer in germany a couple of years ago and there were some crazy dutch people there who collected different words from different languages. The word they chose to represent sweden was ofcourse "knäckebröd". It sounded funny when they said it. They pronounced it on the last syllable, like knaeckebRRRRrroe.
The were drunk. And that made it sound even funnier. I was just eleven or twelve. So at the same time it was a bit scary.
