Less disgusting, but equally Scandinavian, is the Danish Akvavit.
This clear schnappes tastes like caraway seeds, and is best drunk
by belting back ice-cold shots (hides the taste a little).
Actually, I love the stuff, but I don't know anyone else (except in
Denmark, where I acquired the taste--well it was more like being
tortured into it) who can stand even one sip.  And at the prices
it fetches, it's a good thing.  The trick is to get down 4 or 5
belts--then it starts to taste really great.  Hey--promise not to
tell!

I also happen to like Akvavit.  There's a little song that you're supposed
to sing (it is unconditionally REQUIRED) before each belt.  I believe it
starts out...

    hey LAHNG or

...or something.  Anybody have any clues?
