The sausage was so strong that a woman fainted.
Now the police are involved – behind the sausage company is Jimmie Åkesson’s speechwriter.
– It’s the Carolina reaper, extremely strong, he says.
Huseby Christmas market in Alvesta did not end as planned for a female visitor.
After eating a hot dog containing the world’s strongest chili, the Carolina Reaper, she began to feel ill. Later, she fainted several times, according to Sweden’s Radio Kronoberg.
The police have drawn up a report of causing bodily harm, after a man in the party reported the incident to the police.
The company that sells the strong sausage is owned by Anders Olsson, also called “Korv-Anders”.
In addition to the meat industry, he is a speechwriter for the Sweden Democrats party leader Jimmie Åkesson.
– We have a sign with the warning text “extremely strong”. If you can’t stand strong beer sausage, maybe you shouldn’t eat it. Not everyone likes it, he says.
Gave to Löfven as a present
Colleague Peter Grüner tells us more about the sausage in question:
– It’s called Die Harder 6.0. A very strong beer sausage. She tasted a tiny, tiny bit of it.
He has handed out many taste samples of the sausage over the years.
– “If I were you, I wouldn’t have eaten it”, I sometimes say. But they still want to taste.
How do people usually react when they taste it?
– It is very different. Most people taste very carefully and there are usually a few beads of sweat on their foreheads. You can see from them that this was strong.
Dia Harder 6.0 is also the sausage that Stefan Löfven received as a present from Jimmie Åkesson when he was thanked in the Riksdag last year.
– I don’t know what he thought. He hasn’t ordered new ones in any case, says Peter Grüner.
After the incident, they have warned a little extra about the sausage, he says. And it is kept behind the counter so that no one will accidentally taste it.
“Bizarre – like reporting to Systembolaget”
Anders Olsson says that they have invited thousands of people to the sausage over the years and that it is individual how you react.
Stomach problems can occur on an empty stomach. He has never heard of anyone fainting after eating it.
– We invited a lot of people, I don’t know who she is. But it gets weird. If I go to Systembolaget and buy a liter of vodka and get sick. Should I report Systembolaget?
Anders Olsson has been working in Jimmie Åkesson’s party leadership staff since 2019. Among other things, he is a speech writer for the SD leader.
“With solid experience in both parliamentary work and entrepreneurship,” Åkesson wrote on Instagram.
– Yes, I also work on that, says Anders Olsson.
