I won't eat raw fish or raw meat, either, after some
microbiology courses.

The first time I went to Sweden with DH on business, our
partner decided
I should be exposed to "real" Swedish food.

They served a large platter of "mixed" herring as an appetizer:
Pickled herring in wine with onion, in mustard, in tomato sauce,
in sour cream, and gravalax salmon. I was quite unhappy
because I
thought it would be awful, but I actually liked most of it
quite a bit.

It was followed by roast moose tenderloin with a wine
reduction sauce, the
ever-present boiled potatoes with parsley, and fresh
asparagus. The moose
was REALLY good. Dessert was various cheeses and fruit.
