The Swedes and the Finland-Swede s have a tradition of singing songs, '' Snapsvisor '', before drinking snaps. The ''snapsvisa ''is typically an ode to the joys of snaps and praises its flavour, or expresses a craving for the drink. Snaps (and ''snapsvisor'') are an inseparable part of Crayfish Parties , which are notoriously tipsy affairs, even by Swedish and Finnish standards. This is not a surprise, since dozens of songs might be sung during such a meal, and every song demands a round of snaps. Mind you, the glass does not need to be emptied every time and it is recommended not to drink the snaps too fast. An entrée consisting of ''sill'' (pickled Herring ) and potatoes is most typically served with snaps, as is also the infamous Swedish '' Surströmming '', which most people can't stomach and which some find impossible to swallow without an accompanying snaps.
