Smörgåstårte.

Smörgåstårte (in English, pronounced SMOR-guss-TOR-tuh) is an odd sort of Swedish traditional dish. Its form resembles that of a cake, but it is actually made of meat, vegetables, and mayonnaise. Be careful if you're offered a slice of cake in Sweden. It may be a veritable smörgåstårte.
