Hello,

Going to my gfs house on Mon for dinner, the planned meal is Flying Jacob - a swedish dish, basically a casserole with chicken, bacon, cream, banana, peanuts and chilli sauce. I was intending to bring a bottle of wine along, but wine is not my forte and I've really no idea what pairs with what.

Would you guys be able to offer any insight? My budget isn't tremendous, as I am a student after all - let's say a max of £10, preferably available at most Morrisons (my only truly 'local' supermarket)?

Thanks in advance,
Cookeh

ID go for a 4 pack of Super strong lager to help wash the flavour away.

I take it she is a Swede? She wont even care what it is. Infact try and get 2 bottles for £10 thats all that matters.

I was originally intending on getting a 3L bottle of Frosty Jacks and some M Savers Red, but figured I'd really push the boat out... If we could get 2 for £10 or even 3 for £10 that would be excellent, triple the volume means triple the appreciation, right?!
 
Absolute nightmare to match anything with that mix of ingredients, just drink a wine you like. I'd probably do a white Rhône if I had to choose something though.

I had a delicious "Swedish Curry" at a Swedish Restaurant in Cheltenham last year. I'm quite pleased you've made this post, as I can now track down its recipe ("Flying Jacob" being the proper name, it would seem)
 
Flygande Jakob if you want the full blown Swedish name... Interesting story behind its inception - not sure how true it is though!

I'm glad you found it delicious, I've no idea what its going to be like, as it seems like such a peculiar mix of ingredients.
 
Having gone and had a look at the website for the restaurant, it seems they do indeed call it "Flygande Jakob". Must have been me that anointed it Swedish Curry :D

I might have a go at making it, though. Will have to be mild on the chilli so that Mrs Cheesyboy and the kids will eat it.

This was the restaurant;

Quite a nice little place, nothing fancy. Cheap too.
