Bullens pilsner sausage - Beer Sausage.

Bullen is a nickname for a person, the actor Erik "Bullen" Berglund, who was also known for his skills in the kitchen.
Bullens Beer Sausage is a Vienna Style Sausage which should be "boiled" not fried or cooked on the BBQ. However, you shouldn't actually boil them, just heat them in their brine for best result.
Bullens Beer Sausage has become a classic in the Swedish household and an essential for outings such as ski trips, going to the Bach, camping trips etc. 
Next year Bullens will celebrate 60years.

Bullens Beer Sausages has a long life BBF date until 2014, perfect for your emergency kit!

Normally: $10.00, Special: $9.00

Easter break

I hope you've had a nice Easter break. We spent Easter at home this year, and Wellington weather showed us it's best side with sun every day. We managed to really relax and spend time with our kids. It's been great!

We have closed the Easter shop, but still have some Jul(påsk)must left, if you are keen to get some for your midwinter dinner later on in the year, you can find it in our Bargain shop. Our kids and us had plenty this weekend and can vouch that the taste is the same, despite the BBF date.

Danish Goodies on it's way!

We are very excited to let you know we have found a supplier in Denmark, that can help us get more Danish goodies in stock. We've had a great conversation with many of you on Facebook and Danish Remoulade is on it's way!

Please do send us more wishes as we do listen and there will be another shipment from Denmark closer to Xmas, so if your wish didn't make it this time, it might come in the next shipment.

Mothers day

When I think about my mum, the first think that springs to mind is berries - lots of berries. She is one of those people who, when Autumn comes, spends most of her time in the Swedish forest picking berries. My mumswooden chef's forks has always had a shade of blue from making jams and cordials.

So to celebrate mum, we have taken 10% off all jams and cordials (and thewooden forks J)

Please check our mothers day section for more ideas.

 Ekströms (Marsan) Vanilla Sauce/Custard

What is the difference between Marsan sauce and Vanilla sauce?

Marsán is just a name for Ekströms Vanilla Sauce.

The story behind the name is that the Ekström's took a trip to Europe in 1920 and ended up in Marsan in France, a city he falls in love with. He then decides to create a Vanilla Sauce/Custard Powder which he names Marsán.

However, there is a difference in taste and texture between the Ekström's Marsan and the Vanilla Custard in the shops here in NZ. So to make a proper Princess cake I'd recommend using Ekström's Marsan Custard. And for your Apple pie? You can't beat Ekström's Marsan Sauce!

Best of all, it can be mixed with cold milk. No cooking required. You'll have the finished product within minutes!

Instructions for Sauce/Custard Creme on the box.
