Swedish cuisine is probably one of the most sophisticated yet simple cuisines throughout Europe. You have probably heard the term smorgasbord. A smorgasbord is a dish invented by the Swedes, and it roughly translates into “open sandwich table.” They can be made up of platters and platters of any kind of food such as salmon, pies, meats, vegetables, and all kinds of finger foods. This is one of Sweden’s most popular and well-known dishes. Swedish food has a lot of seafood such as: herring, crawfish, and salmon.You might have been thinking: “Do they eat fast food?” Well, the answer is yes, Swedes do eat fast food, but it’s not in the way we prepare it. On the streets of cities you will often find stands that sell sausages and hot dogs. Along with a hot dog, you are also asked if you want fries, mashed or baked potatoes. Fries I can understand, but have you ever heard of a hot dog stand selling mashed or baked potatoes?
Food is a very important part of Swedish culture. Whether the food is slightly different, very different, or very much like our food, the food in Sweden is a delight for all.
