The Panel: Best and worst of Swedish cuisine


2010-07-07




Cristina
My favourite food is probably langoustines, preferably bought in "Feskekôrka". The only things you need on the side are some salmon sauce (hovmästarsås), fresh good bread and West Botnia cheese (västerbottenost). And a glass of good cold beer.

I grew up in the north of Sweden and a common dish there is palt (a kind of potato dumpling). My mother always made palt when I came home to visit.

I don't like offals, like liver, heart and that kind of things and blood pudding. And I don't like lutfisk (boiled ling)... my husband has to eat that on his own at Christmas.

If you look up Swedish cuisine in Wikipedia - they term the cuisine: "practical and sustaining".
As a "foodie"- I find it a bit of a challenge here. I do know this much: I hate falukorv- and do wonder why anyone would bother to eat a cheese called "house hold cheese"- most perplexing. Why I couldn't have married an Italian or a Frenchman , I don't know.....

I love a really good piece of meat, so it's hard to go past a chunk of reindeer or elk on a cold wintry night. Swedes can really nail a good piece of fish, too, which is high praise from an Australian. I'm also very big on potatoes, which is lucky, because Swedes really love the little beggars.

I can't think of any Swedish food I particularly dislike, although I'm not wild about this jam and cheese on toast thing. Swedes would also benefit from a lesson in sausage-making from the Germans. Doesn't matter what type of sausage you buy here, it will just be a version of korv. If you want variety, you gotta search for it - I suggest the Saluhallen or the fancy-pants section of your pricier supermarket.



Carlos
Jonsons temptation (frestelse) is very nice! It's a potato bake with cream and anchovies that Swedish people often eat at Christmas.

Surströmming. It's fermented sill that comes in a can. It both smells and tastes disgusting.
