We have recently, for a variety of reasons, become obsessed with the modern everyday food consumed by normal people in Scandinavia. One of the things that has astounded us is the robust frozen pizza industry in countries we assumed didn’t have any interest at all in foodstuffs that weren’t fermented fish with dill sauce. Thanks to some serendipitous research by Katebits, we’ve learned that Sweden really likes a fascinating product called Billys Pan Pizza, which boasts a rather shockingly broad assortment of flavors.
Now, One of our favorite things about doing cultural research of foreign countries on the interwebs is attempting to read websites in languages we don’t understand. So the other evening we were poring through the Billys website, and came across the description for the Billys Capricciosa:
Ett perfekt mellanmål innan hockeyträningen!
That’s Swedish for “Billys Capricciosa should be on every hockey player’s training table”, right?
With that in mind, Schnookie tried to read aloud a little corporate timeline on the website that was boasting when certain flavors and products were introduced. Like, Billys Original was introduced in 1993, and Billys Chicken Taco was introduced in 1997, or whatever. And then she got to something called “Billys People”. Which prompted Pookie to wail, “Billys People is people!!”
The point of all of this is that someday soon, when we get the media access that is due to every hockey blogger, we have a new question in our journalisty arsenal. We will lead our interviews with “Can you swim?”, and if the interviewee is Swedish, we will follow up with, “What’s your favorite Billys Pan Pizza?” Then we’ll nail him with the hard-hitting, “And did you know that Billys People is people?”
A planet where people evolved from pizza?
That’s just what Billys wants you to think! No, that’s pizza made out of people, and we all know it. :P
Does this mean that Tuesday is Billys People Tuesday?
To some, every day is Billys People Tuesday.

Don’t forget shark heads left to rot in holes in the sand. Iceland is a nation of culinary sociopaths.
Don’t forget shark heads left to rot in holes in the sand.
Yeah, it’s bad enough that they eat so much fish, but then when the fish is fermented by being buried and forgotten for a while… ::shudder:: A few years ago we had big plans to take a vacation in Sweden, but ultimately decided that we would be too hungry to enjoy our time there. :D
The more it gets said, the more Billys People sounds like a crap charity, or a children’s tv show.
Pfft. The more it gets said, the more I’m CONVINCED Billys People is made out of people. I can’t BELIEVE that so many Swedes would eat it without questioning it! :P
Charlton Heston’s all, “Whoa! They’re making pizza out of people, too?! Nice.”
Charlton Heston’s all, “Whoa! They’re making pizza out of people, too?! Nice.”
:^::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: It’s pretty obvious, actually, since the flavors are all, like, “Billys Kebab” and “Billys Bolognese” and “Billys Hawaii”. There’s NO WAY Billys People isn’t people.
Charlton Heston’s all, “Whoa! They’re making pizza out of people, too?! Nice.”

In Swedish “kebab” probably means “soylent” and “bolognese” means “green”. The signs are all there!
Dear all hockey analysts: Doing “something at the trade deadline” does not always equal success. And vice versa.
I have read the first two books by Steig Larsson – The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo and The Girl who Played With Fire. They are about an antisocial Swedish vigilante (to make a long story short) and the heroine eats a lot of Billy’s pan pizza. I too, thought that her dietary mainstay was kind of not Swedish. Who knew. I recommend the books, by the way. The only other Swedish food that I am familiar with are the meatballs and cinnamon rolls from Ikea.
Pfft. The more it gets said, the more I’m CONVINCED Billys People is made out of people.
That’s why they’re such a crap charity. they’ve teamed up with Save The Children (So we’ll have leftovers).
So…. are you saying she’s not just an antisocial Swedish vigilante – but an antisocial Swedish vigilante cannibal?? Edgy.
Tram, that’s where we found out about Billys Pan Pizza! We were emailing with Katebits about Norway’s overwhelming appetite for frozen pizza (their brand of choice is Grandiosa), and she was like, “I just read all about Billys Pan Pizza in this book…” :D
The only other Swedish food that I am familiar with are the meatballs and cinnamon rolls from Ikea.
Maybe I COULD last more than a day in Sweden. :D I love the meatballs and cinnamon rolls.
I was at Ikea once with a friend that had been an exchange student in Sweden as a child and he bought a tube of fish paste. FISH PASTE! In a tube like toothpaste! On the way to the car, he unscrewed the cap and squeezed a little blob into his mouth and ate it. RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME. It was disgusting!!!
Is it like anchovy paste? Which in theory I find disgusting, but in practice I find quite delicious when used in sauces and of course, cesear dressing.

And Patty, that story just made me throw up on the floor.

What blows me away is that there is a Billys flavor that’s perfect for every pre-activity meal.

Same here.

Too right. Blood sausage is delicious. I hear the same of haggis, but I’ve yet to try that.
What blows me away is that there is a Billys flavor that’s perfect for every pre-activity meal.
I know! There’s, like, handball Billys! And skiing Billys! And, like, tiddlywinks Billys!
This sounds completely delightful – Billys Skyscraper Bacon Cayenne. Yum!
Blood sausage is delicious
Oi. If they gave it a better name, I’d be game to try it. Same with blood pudding. BARF.
Haggis is yummy – very sausagey, kind of pate-y. Not bad at all.
Oi. If they gave it a better name, I’d be game to try it. Same with blood pudding. BARF.
How about blood oranges?
Dudes, I think those Black Cocks are really good at hockey. Hockey, I tell you! Hockey!!!
How about blood oranges?
Wait. Now I’m completely stumped with that. The blood in blood oranges has never bothered me. I guess because oranges aren’t made of animals. Way to be inconsistent.
Oi. If they gave it a better name, I’d be game to try it. Same with blood pudding. BARF.
You’re allowed to called it black pudding too, you know. Sounds much more appetizing to have a mouth full of black sausage, one in each hand. Lovely.

Carol, I’m totally with you. Although blood oranges actually give me the creeps a little.
When I was, like, 8 years old, there was a fried chicken stand in the little strip mall near my house called “Youngblood’s Fried Chicken.” I REFUSED to eat chicken from there because I thought the name of the place was so gross.

That’s what they’d like you to think! :P

Okay. I think I’ve over-used that line now. Sorry about that.
Get your filthy blood off me, you damn dirty oranges!

Okay, I’m ready for some Devils hockey! WOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!
(Did I fool anyone? :P)
Wait, Andrew Peters is in in place of Pando? Never mind.
But, hey, Skoula finally walked his way to meet the team so maybe he’ll be the missing piece?
HAHAHAHAHAHA! Yeah. Right.
Skoula finally walked his way to meet the team so maybe he’ll be the missing piece?
Seriously, was he just strolling to Edmonton all this time? What took him so long? Can we expect him to only play in the games he can walk to?
Your new guy just now joined the team? Was he having visa/green card issues or something? But walking to Edmonton does sound like a much cooler reason to be late.
I don’t know what the deal was, Amy. I’m sure TG wrote about it, but I’ve been so busy at work I haven’t had a chance to read any Devils stuff.
But walking to Edmonton does sound like a much cooler reason to be late.
Doesn’t it? It certainly sounds better than “Ugh. The Devils? Really? Do I have to go?”, which was probably the REAL reason. :P
Wait, I just checked the other scores. How are the Sabres not kicking the Rangers’ asses?
How are the Sabres not kicking the Rangers’ asses?
Because they’re the Sabres.
We’re getting the Rangers feed for pregames and intermissions. And while the HD feed is nice, I’m beginning to question whether it’s worth constantly hearing about Rangers youth hockey night and Chris Drury’s little league glory.
Why am I even bothering to watch the end of this season?
And while the HD feed is nice, I’m beginning to question whether it’s worth constantly hearing about Rangers youth hockey night and Chris Drury’s little league glory.
EWWWWW! That’s TOTALLY not worth it! (I have to agree, that the HD picture on the Rangers’ feed is always really nice. But it’s an AWFULLY steep price to pay.)
The Sabres beat the Rangers. Let the villagers rejoice!
WOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
That’s excellent news!
Let the villagers rejoice!
:^::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: This Devils game is like a rejoice-ectomy. I am no longer capable of rejoicing.
My house just wiggled.
For reals, Tim?
Houses should not wiggle???
Yea, it does it a lot, I don’t know what’s up.
Oh, so it’s not like some freak earthquake? It’s just your house being weird?
Here I thought Hambone getting injured would send ripples to cause earthquakes in Indiana.
I don’t know what it is. But it wiggles a lot. I do remember having an earthquake here two years ago. I thought a train was passing by and was disappointed to find it didn’t even knock over my empty soda bottles from my little home-brewery kit.
Houses should not wiggle???
That’s kind of how I feel about it, too. Maybe Tim should have someone look into that… :P
And about this dumb game, if this is how unpleasant it is watching the Devils be this bad against the Oilers, I can’t wait to experience it against the Rangers in the next game.
Guess what.
We just spent the weekend without any TV and only dial up internet on a tiny 15″ screen. No WiFi, no laptops, no high speed internet and I don’t just mean no cable tv, I mean no TV.
We spent the weekend at Dave’s parents.
It was long.
Oh man, Myra, I am SO sorry! That sounds like being on the dark side of the moon!
That said, how’s his mom doing?
From how it sounds, someone put a flux capacitor in Delorean. Stupid Delorean.
She’s doing ok. She is very weak. Which is hard to see. She has always be very spry and healthy. She has this odd nagging cough, so they are going to check with the doctor about that tomorrow. Dave’s sister, drove out there this afternoon and is staying a few days with them. Dave’s dad is very attentive and great with her but I’m glad that his sister is staying for a while.
Dave’s face is doing better and he goes for his interview tomorrow morning at 9am.
More updates to follow!!!
I’m so glad to hear Mama Dave is doing better! It’s so hard to see when someone’s not their usual spry self, isn’t it? I’m also glad Dave is doing better; I’d say I hope he breaks a leg tomorrow, but I’m afraid the way things are going… :D
I’m sorry to hear that Dave’s mom isn’t 100%, but that’s good to hear that she’s on the mend. And even better to hear that Dave’s doing better himself! I have a GREAT feeling about this interview!
You know what I don’t have a great feeling about? The Devils.
But you all knew that. :P
Hooray for the Dave family getting fixed! In the health way, not in the dog way.
Ha. Thanks Pookie, yeah, no breaking legs.
I have a good feeling about this one, too, but am hesitant to say much more. The hockey fan in me doesn’t want to jinx it.
And Tim, this worries me about your house. It wiggles and sounds like someone but a flux capacitor in it? That can’t be good.
Flux Capacitor’s in the Oiler’s goalie, a mister Delorean, or something, I may have misheard his name.
Oh. Um. Then…never mind.
There’s still hope the Devils can fall out of the playoffs, right? I mean, there’s a chance we won’t have to watch this crap in the postseason, too, right?
Myra – I’m glad to hear that both Mama Dave and Dave are doing better. Fingers and toes are crossed for Dave’s interview. :)
There’s still hope the Devils can fall out of the playoffs, right?
Let’s see. There’s a 10 point difference between the Devils and the Bruins in 8th with no games in hand. If the Devils put their minds to it, they might be able to swoon hard enough to do it. I wouldn’t recommend it, but it sounds possible.

Sigh.

Ouch. I’m so sorry, Schnookie! 6:50??? What the?
Everyone here is on a conference call but me, so I’ve got a little quiet time.
I’m waiting on pins & needles to hear from Dave. It’s been over an hour since it started. I figure the longer the better right? I have that song from Chorus Line stuck in my head with a slight variation. “Oh! I hope he gets it! I hope he gets it!”
6:50??? What the?
Yeah, seriously. I was stuck setting up a half-day presentation by someone from an external company for a group I don’t even work with. The guy is doing the same presentation for my department this afternoon, and somehow I became the point of contact, and even though I didn’t make any of the arrangements for the morning session, nor did I know who was attending it, I was still the one lugging the presentation materials around the enormous campus I work on at the crack of dawn this morning. And then when the guy showed up and had no idea where he was supposed to be and whether the people in the other group even knew if he was coming today, I came very close to just quitting on the spot. Heh.
And I think the longer it takes for Dave, the better a sign it is! Maybe they just hired him and he’s already settling into his new office? :D
Everyone here is on a conference call but me, so I’ve got a little quiet time.
Oh, and don’t you just love that? Everyone in my department is in the all-day meeting I arranged for them (the second half of which is the presentation from hell :P), and when my boss headed over to the other building where the conference room is, he asked me if I was coming. I was like, “HELLZ NO!” And he was all, “It’ll get lonely over here.” I said, “I hope it does.”
OH! I hate it when I get drawn into situations like that and have to deal with someone else’s lack of organization and general incompetency. Boo. I can’t say that I blame you on wanting to quit. But DON’T! A bird in the hand, don’t ya know.
And I think the longer it takes for Dave, the better a sign it is! Maybe they just hired him and he’s already settling into his new office? :D
I wish. I thought I was getting ahead of myself by hoping for an offer later today!
It’s thundering and lightning here. What is up with that???
But DON’T! A bird in the hand, don’t ya know.
:^:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Yeah, I talk a big game… :P
And wait, thunder and lightning? Is spring over already in Dallas? Are you guys in summer already?
No, thunder and lightning mean Spring here. It’s been a while since we’ve had any.
Dave called. Interview went alright but head of tech group was out sick so will be in holding pattern on that. Again. Sigh.

Dave called. Interview went alright but head of tech group was out sick so will be in holding pattern on that. Again. Sigh.
But his foot is still in the door, at least.
And risotto is one of those foods I love, but have never made for myself. Same thing with polenta. Then again, after the soup disaster of yesterday, cooking and I may need a break from each other.
Amy, I’ve never made polenta either. I’ve had some at a restaurant though, and I thought it was nasty, so I’m not going to bother learning how to make it.
cooking and I may need a break from each other.
:( Awww, what happened?
Awww, what happened?
I had put some olive oil in a pot to start sauteing the veggies for soup and my father was freaking out because he needed to have Flash updated right that second so he could watch a video on ESPN.com. By the time I got back to the kitchen, the oil was smoking and was burnt. I put the scalding hot pan in the sink (sans water) to cool off, but the pot ended up welded to the rubberized metal thingies we have at the bottom of the sink. So I killed an 8-quart stockpot and a sink thingie yesterday.
And that’s my story.
Dave called. Interview went alright but head of tech group was out sick so will be in holding pattern on that. Again. Sigh.
Well, at least it’s a start, right? I’m sorry the whole kit and kaboodle didn’t get done today, though.

It’s only 1 hour and 14 minutes before my birthday is up, so I’m SURE I could get AT LEAST a few more congratulations on the magnificence that is the fact that I made it to 22. Thank you, thank you. I’m very impressed with myself too.
(also, not drunk. Despite evidence to the contrary, I will continue to leave the drinking to you lot ;) My gift to you, as it were.)
Guten geburtstag Mags! That’s the closest I can get to Hollander-ish. I hope I can make it through this year to catch up to you.
Guten geburtstag Mags! That’s the closest I can get to Hollander-ish.
It’s good enough! Better than some of the attempts I got at English today. Although someone sang me “happy birthday” in Gaelic. That was kinda nuts.
FYI in case you care (which you probably shouldn’t. It’s not healthy to care about Dutchlandish. The language is a throat disease) it’s “gefeliciteerd met je verjaardaag” in Hollander-ish. Literally “congratulations on your birthday”.
Well then! Allow me to extend a heartfelt “gefeliciteerd met je verjaardaag” to you, Mags!
22 huh? Niiiice. I remember 22. Awesome times. Make sure you enjoy it while you can! I’m turning 32 next week. Not as awesome, just old.
Happy Birthday! Mags! (I think I made it on time!)
Ah. 22. I’m not sure I even remember that anymore. Hmmm. Let’s see that would be 25 years….Ouch. Nevermind.
Just have a great day after your birthday since your today is almost over!
Thanks guys :D I’ve had absolutely no presents today, but it’s still been the best birthday. Someone else cooked for me! I didn’t care about the people content of my food, because there was coffee ice cream afterwards and it made me forget everything that came before it. We watched comedy on TV and planned to take over the world with squirrels (let me repeat, no one was drunk or high. Unless coffee ice cream counts as drugs. We had a lot of that). And if 22 is anything like 21, I think I’ll be ok.
Happy Birthday Mags! Sounds like a lovely one. Can I please sign your yearbook?
Let’s send it to Selma next!
