Did you know... In Sweden, summertime is closely associated with sensuality and enjoyment, especially when it comes to eating. This is not so strange. Sweden is located really far up in northern Europe. Until only several decades ago, fresh food was available only during the relatively short, sunny, warm part of the year. Only in summertime can you eat outside in the garden, organize a picnic or gather for a coffee party on the glassed-in veranda. Meals in spring and early summer remain a joyous tribute to Swedish first harvest produce. Cockerel, the year’s first grilled perch, rolled Baltic herring filets that turn into a dill-fragrant casserole when baked in the oven, fresh green asparagus, the first Swedish strawberries from the outdoor market. Or new potatoes boiled with dill, carried steaming hot to the table and eaten with butter … All pure enjoyment. sweden.se/eng/Home/Lifestyle/Food-drink/Swedish-culinary-classics/
