Bostongurka

Bostongurka is a Swedish relish made with pickled gherkins, onions, red bell peppers, and spices such as mustard seeds. The relish was invented by a Swedish company named Felix, basing it on a Hungarian recipe. Originally, Bostongurka was prepared as a way to use up end pieces of leftover pickled gherkins.

Nowadays, it is typically paired with various sausages, especially with falukorv – a sausage made with pork, potato starch flour, and various spices. Despite the name, Bostongurka has no connections with the city of Boston.
