(edit title) What to eat? Typical Swedish meals. Options

[NeNe67]

So... I just moved here to Stockholm and I've been trying to eat things that are very *Swedish* but I'm a terrible chef so I usally go out to eat. But its expensive so I am just wondering if someone may have some tips or ideas for easy made swedish meals...

[AW1]

Have a look at: http://www.receptcentralen.se/husmanskost/?s=2. What sort of cuisine are you used to? French, Italian, Spanish, English?

well you can buy about 20 styles of sausage, that to anyone else in the world are really just all hotdogs?

Anything made from mince, served with boiled potatoes, brown sauce and lingon? Cabbage rolls perhaps?

wild berries and mushrooms - especially kantarells

Basically, you should be able to eat well. Obviously if you're from the British Isles and have become accustomed to the gourmet food it's so well known for... then you might have to bite the bullet and cook it yourself.

I found myself thinking about beef wellington today

Settled for meat and veg stew, as the beef wasn't quite of the steak quality. Incidentally Swedes make this stew using mince but, it's not the same thick consistency, but to watery for me. Many of the Swedish dishes my sambo's mother cooks I think are crying out for fresh ground black pepper, a pinch of chilli, more spices etc.. but that's my taste buds I think.

Surströmming,typical Swedish, ample available this time of the year. Served along with flat bread, hacked onion and potatoes...simple,inexpensive and tasty.



*enjoy* ::wink::

Proper sunday roast. Unbeatable

It's probably not advisable to hint to the future mother in law to spice it up a bit...

[byke]

The mother in law or the roast?

[AW1]

Neither.

My (Swedish) wife loves kroppkakor. Personally, I think it tastes like wall spackle.

[Bender B Rodriquez]

Haha, Kroppkakor are awesome, but you have to be careful to boil them just the right amount of time: too short = rubber balls, too long = porridge...

Also, there is the Öland variety which is a bit different.
