This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Funny, in Norwegian hvitløk is talked about a great deal.

Dows that refer to garlic?

Yes, hvitløk = vitlök in Swedish. It's the same word really (the h is silent), and ø (Norwegian, Danish) = ö (Swedish, Finnish, German).

Ah, I think you missed the spacing when I said that "vit lök" wasn't a thing in Swedish, "vitlök" is as you say "garlic", and is a common word

Oh ok, I thought that was more a space for emphasis. That explains it then :-)
