Swedish Christmas Dinner

Sweden

"Salmon on Root Vegetables"On 19 December 2021 we had a traditional Swedish Christmas Dinner with our usual fellow gastronauts John & Chris. We've had a few Swedish feasts over the years; it's always fun shopping for supplies and preparing everything. It was a merry time, and a big change from the Italian foods that I've been focusing on for two years!

Here's what we had:

"Rodkal"A Warming Drink to Start: Hot Glögg

Openers (Mostly Cold), in the Living Room

  • Linie Akvavit in frozen shot glasses
  • Schnaps in Grappa glasses
  • Flatbrod on the slate
  • "Rotmos"Matjes Herring, Dill Herring
  • Priest XO Cheese
  • Gjetost cheese
  • Gothenburg Sausage, warmed 
  • Smoked Liverwurst
  • Ägghalvor topped with herbs, salmon roe, or pickled beets (these are simply halved hard-boiled eggs topped with something, they're not deviled eggs.)

Julbord, Buffet-Style (Mostly Hot) in the Dining Room

  • Dry Cider
  • Lefse
  • Lutfisk in bacon, with black pepper
  • Julskinka (Christmas Ham), cold
  • Laxfilé på grönsaksbäd (Roast Salmon on Root Vegetables)
  • Varmlandskorv (Potato sausage), hot with Mustard Sauce
  • Grønn Ertestuing (Stewed Green Peas)
  • Rödkål (Christmas Red Cabbage)
  • Janssons Frestelse (julienned potatoes and onions baked with ansjoves and cream)
  • Rotmos (mashed root vegetables)

On the Table: Lefse, Swedish Mustard-Dill Sauce, salt & pepper, cider 

Desserts
