Flying Jacob
Flygande Jakob is a Swedish casserole composed of chicken, whipping cream, chili sauce, bananas, roasted peanuts, bacon and Italian salad seasoning, which is a peculiar seasoning blend available only in Sweden. The dish is baked in an oven and is usually served with rice and a salad.
The dish was invented by Ove Jacobsson, who worked in the air freight industry, hence the name.
Asked to make a main dish for a potluck in summer 1976, Jacobsson combined leftover ingredients into a casserole and served it at the party, where it was a hit. His neighbor, Anders Tunberg, worked for Allt om Mat magazine, and thus the recipe was first published in a Swedish cooking magazine the same year.
