A woman in southern Sweden has been charged for attempted assault after attacking a man with a frying pan full of Swedish sausages.

The woman, who is in her fifties, reportedly threw the frying pan at the man during a heated spat at their home in Borås, southern Sweden.

She even threatened to kill the man, according to Sveriges Radio.

While the flying frying pan didn't hit the intended target, the man was hit with the force of the pan's contents - Swedish Falukorv and a good dose of grease.

The man was not injured by the Swedish sausage.

The woman has now been charged with attempted assault and making illegal threats, with the victim demanding compensation of 850 kronor ($130).

Falukorv is a traditional Swedish sausage, usually made with a mixture of grated pork, beef, or veal, together with potato starch flour and spices.

The sausage's name comes from the town of Falun in central Sweden, where the falukorv has history stretching back to the 16th century among workers at the local copper mine.

The sausage is a popular ingredient in many a Swedish dish, and is often served with potato, macaroni or beans.

The falukorv was even a central character in one of Sweden's cult pornographic films from the seventies, Fäbodjäntan (titled "Come and Blow the Horn" in the UK).

if it will save one life, we need to act immediatly on swedish sausage control

[ZirconEncrustedTweezers]

Ban sausages! And frying pans!

[Gefn]

NAPL please!!!

[ClearCase_guy]

At least ban high capacity frying plans of 9 inches or larger. No one need to cook that much sausage.

Few of us Swedes would claim Falukorv to be a delicacy, just like Americans in general don’t consider the hot dog to be the best dish USA ever has come up with.

This is outrageous. Everyone knows the German Attack Sausage is recommended for this type of use.

[ZirconEncrustedTweezers]

Two to four links is all anyone needs.

[wbill]

Well, at least she didn’t come at him with a pointy stick.

[PapaBear3625]

The story tries to downplay the story and make it humorous.

Having a hot frying pan thrown at you can cause serious injuries. The only reason it didn't was that she missed. If it happened to me, I'd be out of there immediately and filing for divorce.

[V_TWIN]

If he would have attacked her with his Swedish sausage it would have been sexual harassment, but when a woman does it, well it's ok.

Will these double standards ever end? lol

"Everyone knows the German Attack Sausage is recommended for this type of use."

Not as deadly as a Polish Kill-basa.

[COBOL2Java]

"Orn sausage desh, dee born sausage desh, de umn bork! bork! bork!"

[muir_redwoods]

It’s all in the presentation. Served underhand at 80 MPH it loses it’s charm.

[driftless2]

Now if this were Norway, and the man had been hit with a glob of lutefisk, it would definitely be grounds for assault with a deadly food. Uff da!

[1raider1]

I can’t figure why the nationality of the man’s sausage is important to this story.

[Red Badger]

Well, it’s not the wurst that could happen............

[DManA]

This is just weird because I had swedish sausage for supper last night. I used my sausage responsibly.

[Bikkuri]

Would an American Sausage have been more threatening or dangerous?

[faithhopecharity]

Its those Swedish meatballs you gotta watch out for!

[dblshot]

Assult sausage is linked to violent behavior claims VP Biden, limits on package size to be developed. Who needs 10 hot dogs in a package when there are only 8 buns in package anyway, asks Gov. Coumo.

[massgopguy]

Which is why you can only have seven Swedish meatballs per magazine...er serving in NYC.

[eCSMaster]

A sâüsâge bit my sister ønce.

[Nifster]

Not as good as Christmas korv but still pretty good eating.

He probably asked for lutefisk and got the appropriate response

[faithhopecharity]

yes!! and it only takes one or two of those metaballs to finish off a burglar, too...

[blueunicorn6]

“COME AND BLOW THE HORN”? I take it that wasn’t a movie about a trumpet player.

[blueunicorn6]

Northwestern University has already bought next year’s total production.

[mikrofon]

The falukorv was even a central character in one of Sweden's cult pornographic films from the seventies, Fäbodjäntan (titled "Come and Blow the Horn" in the UK).

Thus validating the other interpretation of the title...

[Gasshog]

Now I know more about Swedish sausage than I ever wanted too.

[Adder]

Shouldn’t HE be assaulting HER with a sausage?

[showme_the_Glory]

When Sweedish sausages are outlawed.............

[Slings and Arrows]

Speaking of Swedish sausage...

Of course not. That would be Surströmming.

[TexasRepublic]

“A sâüsâge bit my sister ønce.”

A møøse sâüsâge? Mind you, those are very deadly and cause gas too.

[Eaker]

Now THAT is a big ass sausage!

[Mad Dawgg]

"Now THAT is a big ass sausage!"

Yes, it is!

And on a side note (With apologies to Mr. Barry) "Ass Sausage" is an excellent name for a punk rock band!

[ladyjane]

I wondered that myself. Why did she attack a man who had a Swedish sausage? Maybe it was a sweet-ish sausage and he didn’t want to share it?

[bikerman]

Was it the dreaded assault sausage????

[Moltke]

Adding width=600 before the closing link bracket is a good idea for large pics.

[Larry Lucido]

Ban Swede sweepers!

[fattigermaster]

I heard Barack begs Michelle to attack him with a sausage...

[goat granny]

those old cast iron frying pans (like my mom used) could kill a horse with one good wack to the head....LOL

[rmlew]

Surströmming.
Don't post things like that. I'm getting ptsd. The smell. The horrible putrid smell. It get in your clothing and permeates everything around it.

[Slings and Arrows]

Would you prefer some Hákarl instead?

[rmlew]

Never been to Iceland. What possessed them to try to ferment a poisonous shark and then try to eat it?

A dare?
