Christmas shopping? What would you buy Morrissey?

[Suzanne]

what i would get him every year: a lump of coal.

i will admit that he's been good this year by playing TX back in March, so I'll be generous and give him two lumps of coal.

What do you eat Glögg with?

Well it's a drink (15% alcohol) but you usually put raisin and almond in it. Those of you who haven't tried it, you've really missed it. It's the second most important thing of christmas next to whiskeycake (family tradition). The cognac has the third place.

Is it typical from Sweden? I had never heard of it, but let's face it, I don't drink alcohol either

Yes I belive it's only here and maybe in the rest of Scandinavia you can get it allthough I heard that it was quite popular amongst ex-swedes in the US as some kind of fashion but that's all. Here it is for christmas what beer is for Germany during October.

That's just like one of out other inventions, pizza salad

Cheers

Aaaahhh I understand perfectly... Our "Glögg" is called Pisco, a clear liquor of 35° alcohol and up made from special grapes...

Pizza Salad?? That sounds yummy and healthy!!!!! How is it??

[CeciDeMorrissey]

Ooooooohhhhh I miss Ikea!!!!!!!!! :_(

(Do they still serve this meat with cranberrie sauce and potatoes? Well, that's what they always had in the New Jersey store, where all Newyorkers go to shop )

 

[lilybett]

I bought my best friend the right to call herself 'Lady'. I'd buy him a Lairdship, I can just see that.

My auntie sponsored a donkey in my name for Xmas. I think he'd appreciate that, too

i think so! last time i went they had it at the ikea restaurant! i don't orded that anymore because of the meat balls. i wish they had veggie meat balls. but that would still contain milk and eggs and uuugghhhhh!
this is one of the toronto ikeas, but i'm sure they must have it in jersey! seeing how its a very traditional swedish meal!
its actually lingonberry sauce that you've probably had with your meat/potatoes (tastes like cranberries though!)! oh how i got used to that food when i went to school! in sweden all kids get free cooked lunch at school, and it's usually a buffet too (rich country)! we'd get lingonberry sauce with meat balls and potatoes alll the time!

Ah IKEA, the most swedish store of them all. A friend says that you even can buy Marabou choclate in IKEA in Canada (atleast Vancouver), not Plopp though. Funny to see "swedish" thing being sold there. Atleast they don't tryto sell steamedfermed herring to you.
Nice to meet a fellow swede (?) or visitor here. And yes we are very lucky to have free lunches, that's how you use the tax money in a good way. Free college/university as well, great.

Cheers

 

[Kickstand]

I'd buy Morrissey 'The Violent profession, the rise and fall of the Kray Twins'.

They sell Marabou here too!!! When I was 11 I won a HUUUGE stuffed Marabou chicken (it was like the size of a 5 year old!) toy because I entred a contest at a grocery store! Good memories!
I'm not Swedish, I just lived there for a couple of years (3, I believe) the nature of my dad's work was that we moved alot....so of course, the kid gets taken eeeverywhere! My pre-teen years were ravaged with bad fabricated pop (remember that song......Vacker utan Spackel by some dude....I moved to Sweden the same year it was released and that was my introduction to Swedish music...yeah..it was THAT bad!..a great welcome indeed)! I like the Swedish seemingly socialist political system! It's great! Free education, free food, free everything! But sometimes, I remember, all the flawlessness used to bugg me a lot to a point that I'd want to knock a garbage can over...just to create SOME variety!

yaay sverige!

Yeah i got horrible memories of "Vacker utan Spackel" too (it's from the eurovision song contest 1998 by the way). If you want any tips of good swedish music don't hesitate to ask, we had quite a large indie (or "swindie" as it was called) and hard core (Umeä and Vänersborg) stage here back in the 90ies.
Sorry to say I don't understand to expression flawlessness but if it means that there's not much things going on here yes.

Cheers

Mmmmmm... I'm sure they were cranberries, I mean they actually wrote it in the menu board. Anyway, it tasted great. Aahh, and the potatoes weren't peeled!! I loved them!

And yeeeeeesss Chartres!! They do sell chocolates!! They pile them in boxes or make towers with them and you take them... I remember buying one or two I think with a red wrap and yellow too, with some kind of nuts in it... I don't remember the brand... But in Jersey they also sell these Swedish chocolates... Yummy!!! ---

Wow, you got all the "flavours" as well? My favourite is "schweizer nut".
It's strange cause cranberries is rarely used in traditional swedish coocking, allthough lingonberries is one of the most used. It's should be served together with meat and potatoe.

Some opiates.

I reckon a good solid opiate addiction would have him writing a classic album in no time.

That's the beauty of Morrissey; he's never needed drugs in order to write. Only mediocre artists need mind-altering substances in order to write life-affirming lyrics. Whether you like him or not, Morrissey has changed the lives of millions of people.

But I don't really need to tell you this, do I? You, after all, have written dozens of classic albums, haven't you?
