Foods of Sweden

Well, we wouldn't say that this is the gourmet capital of the world, but the breakfast buffets were filled with more food than we have ever seen. Here is a typical Smorgasbor, at our last hotel, the Kung Carl. This is actually small by Swedish standards, though it had most of the usual.




Hard boiled and soft boiled eggs.




scrambled eggs, sausages, sometimes, bacon.









Breads and rolls, 6 different kinds of rolls, then Lima bread, dark bread, rye bread,plus two other kinds.
Served with jams, lingonberry jam, orange marmalade, strawberry jam.







this is particularly appetizing, it is Smoked Caviar in a tube. Or you can chose Smoked Caviar with Cream Cheese in a tube. (a debate over what to really call this almost kept them out of the EA, as the French wanted it to be called Roe)









These are deviled eggs.

The herring, this is only a small sample.
There are 3 kinds of herring here, liver paste, pickles, cottage cheese, and cream cheese. This goes together, somehow. Oh, the kinds of herring changes often.


Tomatoes, peppers, cukes, which you can't see. There would also be beets and onions. So you could make a plate of herring, beets, onions, peppers, cukes and salami with some flatbread with "Swedish caviar" on the side.








fruit salad, fruit yogurt, vanilla yogurt, soured milk.












cheeses, edam, swedish medium cheese, swedish mild cheese. (edam, wastgota, and billingeost)






smoked turkey, ham, salami.





the breakfast cereal--musli, cornflakes, bran, dried fruit, nuts, grains, seeds, sometimes coconut flakes.
