Peer comment(s):

neutral Stefan A. M. Adamek : …”and smoked”, unless the scenario include the ~ pre-1940 preserving methods commonly used for this dish. I recall the discussions we had at the culinary academy about this old leg… forget the salt. All smoked products have been salted one way or another

Thank you Stefan, but who am I to question the 25 volumes of 'Bra Böckers Lexikon'? No, no, no Stefan; forgetting the salt would be a serious mistake!
agree Anna Herbst : Se även Nationalencyklopedin och Wikipedia.

leg of lamb

This must be leg of lamb
- wafer-sliced smoked leg of lamb
(sounds less stingy than thinly sliced...)

disagree Stefan A. M. Adamek : ''Lammfiol'' is the name of a product (originated from Gotland?) made of that same part, salted > slowly smoked in low temperature + flavored with juniper > then dried! ''Leg of Lamb'' is only correct in regards to the part of the animal, raw/cooked etc

The question asked about lammfiol (in the title), hence my answer for the glossary, with ´smoked´mentioned in the explanation. AFAIK lammfiol goes back to the Vikings and is not exclusive to Gotland. But I'm not Swedish.

Sorry, I got carried away in my haste. "lammfiol" is simply "leg of lamb". See this link: http://tinyurl.com/34tuypn
