The dish was invented by Ove Jacobsson, who worked in the air freight industry, hence the name. Asked to make a main dish for a potluck in summer 1976, Jacobsson combined leftover ingredients into a casserole and served it at the party, where it was a hit. His neighbor, Anders Tunberg, worked for Allt om Mat (All about Food)[3][4] magazine, and thus the recipe was first published in a Swedish cooking magazine the same year.[2][5]
