Flying Jacob

Common card · No. 331922

Flying Jacob (Swedish: Flygande Jacob/Jakob, pronounced [flyːˈgandɛ jɑːˈkɔp]) is a Swedish casserole made of chicken, bananas, peanuts, and bacon. The dish is baked in an oven and is usually served with rice and a salad. The dish was invented by Ove Jacobsson, who worked in the air freight industry, hence the name. Asked to make a main dish for a potluck in summer 1976, Jacobsson combined leftover ingredients into a casserole and served it at the party, where it was a hit. His neighbor, Anders Tunberg, worked for Allt om Mat (All about Food) magazine, and thus the recipe was first published in a Swedish cooking magazine the same year.
