Its just kind of a savory loaf thing, it really doesn't taste much of iron or blood at all.
You put bacon and/or lingonberry jam on it.
If you're gonna make fun of Swedish food at least go after the really gross and niche stuff, like Kalvsylta(Veal boiled in stock until it falls apart, then solidified with the stock into a jelly form) or our version of cheesecake, which is made by mixing flour and milk, heating it up, curdling the whole thing with rennet, mixing in eggs, cream, and sugar as well as flavoring stuff like almonds, then baking it and eaten warm.
That latter one I actually got sick from myself the one time it was served in school.
The photo for kalvsylta on the wikipedia page as well is, completely unironically, very photogenic compared to some alternatives.
Whatever recipe my grandparents make turns out a perfect concrete gray, I cant even find a photo on google that would illustrate it.
Its edible, but thats about it. I can only imagine its comparable to jellied eels in being designed out of desperation to save every single bit of nutrient possible with no regard for anything else.
I never got sick from eating it at least, but it is a cold jelly of meat, salt, pepper, onions and maybe some other minor seasonings, so its definitely the kind of thing that might be a textural atrocity for some and generally kind of bland, particularly if you wont eat beets like me, so its just the jelly.
I'd assume making it from an actual head might have some stronger or more interesting flavors, but generally I think its made with just plain veal so that isnt gonna be much of a help here.
Swedish cuisine has lots of weird stuff like hotdogs topped with shrimp salad or black pudding (which is rare today and actually not that bad) and many Swedish foods are sweeter than what European palates are normally used to but they have tons of good stuff as well. They have a large variety of cakes, they eat lots of seafood and their mix and match candy is really good.

you are going to make me cry
I mean I'll be perfectly honest the kalvsylta just looks like headcheese which isn't that bad. The cheesecake thing sounds like an attrocity though

who are you calling a savory loaf thing?
Pretty sure that is mostly a meat loaf if it's anything like a Danish farsbrød.
