Sweden For all those who think that
Swedish cuisine is primarily iconic meatballs and chewy fish-shaped sweets,
you're living in a bubble of perception.Swedish food offers some juicy Nordic
morsels, delicious barbecue ribs and pickled herring.
MUST-TRY FOODS:
Lingonberries are on the list of any
self-respecting foodie. They are considered to be an essential accompaniment to
many Swedish dishes, most notably meatballs and potato pancakes.
Cinnamon Buns also known as
Kanelbullar, are light, delicately spiced sweet breads that marry perfectly
with a cup of coffee or tea. Did you know many Swedes grew up eating pea soup
and pancakes every Thursday? This tradition has been upheld by the Swedish
Armed Forces since World War II. It is believed that Catholics used to refrain
from consuming meat on Fridays, thus filling up on pea soup on Thursdays.Most
traditional lunch restaurants serve pea soup and pancakes with lingonberry jam
or any other kind of jam.
