Traditional Foods
Many traditional dishes
employ simple, contrasting
flavors, such as the traditional
dish of hearty meatballs and
gravy with tart, pungent
lingonberry jam.
Although many traditional
dishes are simple, the cuisine
is in large parts similar to
many other European cuisines.
Another Swedish favorite
cuisine is the traditional
Pickled herring, sour cream
and chopped chives, potatoes
and an egg half.
