Talk about GREAT imports from Sweden
Crispy Chili in Oil!
What?
You claim this is not Swedish!
Well I made the acquaintance of this delicious condiment in the #2's refrigerator in Malmo where it is a favorite of 3A. Then on my last couple of days in Gothenburg, I was in the supermarket and by golly, there it was. So I snapped it up and brought it home.
It is very dry so it keeps the heat somewhat localized on the tongue and mouth and not so much going down the throat (which for those of us with reflux damage is a great thing). It also has some kind of umami component but since the label has no English, I'm not sure what.
Happily I can get it on Amazon!

Being about to mail order spices and condiments from Amazon or other websites is such a game changer, compared to decades ago.
I can't believe they don't sell it at the Asian stores there, surely??
I suspect you will be able to find Lao Gan Ma locally, it's available pretty much worldwide and the owner is apparently a billionaire! But as the saying goes, sometimes you have to go to Sweden to really appreciate home!
