Various restaurants: Julbord

by lukky

Every year before Christmas a lot of restaurants will have "julbord" (literally "Christmas table") which is the traditional food that Swedish people have on Christmas. For some reason we can't just eat it on Christmas Eve (and the leftovers for days - or weeks - afterwards), but we have to eat it at least once before the actual holiday too...I never really understood it, but then I don't like the Christmas food much to begin with. :-)The contents of the julbord will vary slightly between different parts of the country, but most will have at least ham, pickled fish, meatballs, small sausages, beet salad, etc. It is usually served buffet-style so you can pick whatever you want and how much you want. Some restaurants start serving julbord as early as November, but most only offer it in December. Mostly they will have it on specified days only.

Spettekaka

by sim1

Have you ever seen spettekaka before? Well, I hadn't, hahaha, so I was fascinated by it. Spettekaka is a traditional Skåne sweet cake. Spettekaka is a meringue-like cake, created by drizzling the batter (dozens of beaten eggs, sugar and a bit of potato flour) slowly over a cone-shaped spit rotating over a slow fire. This forms many lacy layers. Spettekaka is not a tiny cake, hahaha, these spettekaka's can be really big! I saw this spettekaka on a christmas market and of course I had to make a picture of it for VT. The lady behind the counter looked at me and I was afraid she would ask me not to take photos. But nothing was further from the truth. The lady smiled and offered me a bit of spettekaka to taste instead, mmmmm, I have to say it tasted yummie!!! But it also shows the friendliness of the people, something that keeps surprising me everywhere I go in Sweden. Hahaha, I guess this is...

Dont miss out on Friday evenings in Gothenburg!

by Annagirl

Budgit travelers or students or any other!Listen up. On a Friday evening between 5pm and 7pm certain restaurants in Avenyn and in other streets, take a good look and see if you can find a place that have the poster, After work!. At some of these places you only buy the drinks, and perhaps pay for your coat, then you can eat for free from the certain buffet. Just watch out, some dishes could be hot! But otherwise really festive and budgit way of eating out!

Salmon (Lax)

by sim1

Let's continue with some seafood, because you can find this item very often on the menu list: Salmon! Or 'Lax' in Swedish. In the picture you can see salmon being grilled on the barbeque, but this is not the only way Swedes love to eat their salmon. Other popular salmon dishes are:Gravad Lax: This salmon is pickled with sugar, dill and salt. Don't get scared away by that description though, the pickling is very subtle leaving the salmon tasting delicious.Rökt Lax: this is smoked salmon, also served in thin slices. You can even buy two varieties of this one, kaltrökt (cold smoked salmon) and warmrökt (warm smoked salmon) and both do taste delicious.

Crayfish

by sim1

Crayfish is a big thing in Sweden, but only during part of the year. But when it is the August, 'season of the crayfish', you can't seem to escape them. Everyone has one or more crayfish parties (kräftskiva) and they are quite fun. The crayfish are served in their shell, and eating them requires a lot of work, singing and of course, drinking snaps! When I first came to Sweden I read this book about Swedish traditions, and of course they mentioned the crayfish parties. It described in full detail how you should eat them and how the parties were like. After reading that I decided one thing: those crayfish parties were not for me! Hahaha, but now I do have changed my mind :-)) The crayfish does taste great, to my very surprise. I can hardly wait until next year's crayfish season :-)

Semla, a delicious Swedish tradition

by sim1

Semla! This is a Swedish Easter cake, which should be eaten on the Tuesday four weeks before Easter. But it tastes so good that everybody is more than happy to break this rule and eat in more than once. So the semla is no longer restricted to only Tuesdays but any day of the week goes these days! And the time that you can buy them is much longer too, starting from January to well into March. Why? Well that's easy, hahaha, they are delicious!!! :-))Semla is a big wheat bun filled with whipped cream. And in the middle you will find a surprising filling of marzipan. In the bun itself should be some cardamom to make it a real semla. And the whole combination just makes it delicious!

Having lunch in Sweden

by sim1

Okay, now it is time for a real restaurant tip! Here is an example of a typical lunch in Sweden. The restaurant I went to on this occasion was restaurant Pråmen in Västerås. The location of this particular restaurant is a bit different. Restaurant Pråmen used to be a cargo boat that transported sand, but the boat is now moored to the edge of Lake Mälaren and in use as a restaurant. The food in the restaurant is good. I had salmon with potatoes in a creamy sauce with salad. The whole dish costs around 60 to 70 Swedish Krona. I don't know the exact price anymore, but this is the average price for a daily lunch dish in Sweden. Most restaurants have one or two daily dishes that go around this price. You can order a la carte as well of course, but this is mostly more expensive. There is a huge difference in prices between lunch and dinner! Swedes go very often to a restaurant for lunch, but...

Sill and snaps.... or snaps and sill?

by sim1

Sill and snaps go together hand in hand in Sweden. You can't think of the one without thinking of the other.... and the Swedes do love it! On special occasions, parties, holidays they often eat some sill, and of course it is served with a glass...uuuuhhh I mean several glasses.... of snaps. Sill is a type of pickled herring and it can taste really good. But be aware that sill is not just sill! They have so many varieties of them, too much to mention. I like the more simple varieties though, with onion or dill, but the ones with berries or mustard or something of that sort are not really to my taste. And what for the sill goes, goes for the snaps as well. Snaps is not just snaps. It comes in a broad variety of tastes, and everyone has its own favourite. My favourite snaps is "Skåne Aquavit"When serving sill and snaps it is usual to serve at least three different sorts of sill and have an...

Here they are.... the pancakes!

by sim1

And here they are.... the pancakes!!! Hahaha, don't they look delicious?? :-) Hahaha, I am doing some bragging as I baked them myself. Mmmm... one bad part though, I am hired now to do the Thursday pancake day dinner :-(( Arggg! Hahaha, I guess I make them taste too good :-) As you can see they are served with the whipped cream and strawberry jam (lingonberry will do also!). As an extra touch there is some apple sauce on the pancake. Hahaha, it was only put on the pancake for this picture though, lol. But the pancake with warm apple compote does taste really good! And this one tastes extra good as it is home-made with apples from our own apple tree :-)

Thursday...... pea soup and pancakes!!!

by sim1

Okay..... I have to admit... when I first heard of this I though: pea soup with pancakes??? Those Swedish people are really weird! Hahaha, but I've changed my mind! I had the pea soup and pancakes the other week.... of course on a Thursday, because that's the traditional day of the week to have this menu... and I really enjoyed it! No picture of the pancakes here yet, hahaha, I had no time to take a picture, I was too eager to eat the delicious looking pancakes, lol. But I did have time to make a picture of the pea soup. You should eat it with a knäckebrod with cheese on the side, of course a glass of beer, and most important some real Swedish Flag punch (I'll write some more about this punch in another tip!). The punch is served warm and it goes very well together with the rest of the dishes. After having had the pea soup, you have the pancakes. Mmmm, they are served with whipped cream...
