No, more like some ultra fattening specialty.

Something you only hear about in the Simpsons.

Pan fried cheese? Is this some kind of Swedish speciality?

I think it's a czech speciality. I ate first at a east-european restaurant some years back. The original recipe calls for fried diced potatoes, tartar sauce, grated beetroot and some kind of czech saurkraut with caraway seeds.

Here's a recipe for a more elaborate one from the well renowned Food & Wine Magazine:


Pan-Fried Cheese with Salsa Verde

TOTAL TIME: 20 MIN
SERVES: 4
ingredients

* 2 cups basil leaves
* 2 tablespoons packed flat-leaf parsley leaves
* 1 tablespoon packed mint leaves
* 4 anchovy fillets, rinsed
* 2 tablespoons freshly grated Pecorino Romano cheese
* 1 tablespoon drained capers
* 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
* Salt and freshly ground pepper
* 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
* Four 1/3-inch-thick slices of scamorza (1 1/2 to 2 ounces each)
* 4 thick slices of peasant bread, toasted

directions

1. In a food processor, combine the basil, parsley and mint with the anchovies, Pecorino and capers and pulse until finely chopped. With the machine on, add 1/2 cup of the olive oil in a steady stream and process until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
2. Spread the flour in a pie plate. Add the cheese slices and dredge lightly in the flour, tapping off the excess. In a medium nonstick skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the cheese and fry over moderate heat, turning once, until golden, about 3 minutes. Transfer the cheese to 4 plates, drizzle with the salsa verde and serve with the toasted bread.

You have a good looking son but why is he doing monkey stance? Have you told him he is a monkey? Not a good idea.
