    Default Scandinavian food

    Has anyone noticed this happening?

    BBC News - Scandinavian food: Why is it becoming popular in the UK?

    Anything you can recommend, Crister?

    Must have a look at such on M&S's and Waitrose's shelves next time I venture there!

    I guess it's one of the few international cuisines which hadn't made it here at restaurant or supermarket level, and has plenty of room for expansion, there could hardly be an increase in Indian or Chinese cuisine.

    Having said that, our family have eaten Scandinavian specialities for many years, my dad would pay a weekly visit to the delicatessen (the only one at that time) and return with various Northern European and Scandinavian delicacies, personally could never appreciate pickled fish though.

    LOL, the fermented fish is something that completely passes me by I'm afraid.

    I've always liked pickled Herrings, and some other suggestions there sound fine - but 'Biksemad' with fried egg on top looks awful!

    Maybe I'm no real gourmet though!

    It probably is, Crister. I'm sure Swedish people must have more taste!

    (I's just one of the examples given in that link, but it doesn't say exactly where it comes from.)

    We would be glad to know of what you consider to be a good Swedish meal though.

    Get Chris to send you over some of the fermented fish Catherine, that's if the post office don't quarantine it.

    Have to say that I love Swedish meatballs.

    Fermented fish is handled the same way as a nuklear bomb

    So a typical Swedish meal , well we have the smargasbord as You know - lots of good stuff including the meatballs (we eat them with spagetti or potatoes with a good sauce) else we have lots of good fish (at leas twice a week) and (what I think is biksemad) pytt i panna, the Swedish version of Nasi goreng. Ours is based on fried potatoes, some meat and fried eggs. Yum Yum

    I've eaten Nasi Goreng in Holland, and brought back a packet of it once, but can't remember much about it.

    Fermented fish don't really sound too appetising... After all we've just cleaned out the fish pond completely yesterday - filter included - and what was in there certainly wasn't Chanel No.5!

    It smells much fresher now!

    (Will look up Smargasbord. Might even have a 'European tour' of meals next week!)
