Introduction

These have been passed down for several generations from my Swedish relatives. Very good hot and very good cold on bread for sandwiches the next day. You can add one onion, chopped fine, but most of my family won't eat them with onions, so I don't. These have been passed down for several generations from my Swedish relatives.
