Janssons frestelse - jansson's temptation


"A completely different origin of the dish has been suggested by Suzanne Koski in an e-mail: "According to Craig Claiborne, Pastor Jansson brought his flock to Bishop Hill, Illinois in the mid-19th century. He preached mightily against succumbing to temptation, but he himself did so when spying, and then tasting a potato and anchovy dish on a parishoner's table. The story goes that the dish went back to Sweden with disallusioned followers (perhaps the woman who originated the dish).""
