This has tripped us up a few times here in our house -- I ask The Swede to pick up some macaroni from the store and he always gets 'snabb makaroner' when I mean like penne or something, so I started calling it pasta so that I don't end up with snabbmakaroner all the time....

Thank god the Canadians love it, too. We are not alone!<br /><br />Ketchup on pasta or macaroni has always just been considered rather 'WT' (white trash) in the US. Why this is? I could hazard a guess, but not going to bother. I'll let Little Swede enjoy his pasta and ketchup, while I horde all of the day-glo cheese!Surviving Swedenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10144843041249993603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-338298233588226936.post-58838153837120629572013-04-16T00:57:50.002-07:002013-04-16T00:57:50.002-07:00Glad to hear there is at least one Swede out there...Glad to hear there is at least one Swede out there who doesn't put ketchup on their pasta Umepojk!

And I love it myself, to me it's a mystery why anyone would object, it tastes so good, what's the problem? And don't say it's not fancy enough, that's not valid coming from americans... ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-338298233588226936.post-31521863296182354222013-04-13T16:47:34.450-07:002013-04-13T16:47:34.450-07:00Ketchup on pasta is Swedish???
