The mythological, romantic, and fun Midsummer is just a few days away!

It is safe to say that this holiday is one of the Swede’s favorite holidays. Since the food, and drinks are a vital part of every midsummer celebration, we have decided to compile a Midsummer menu, recipes included, for you to try. If you’re not the home chef type, make sure to support your local Scandinavian caterer/café/restaurant by ordering your Midsummer food from them.

So, what do the 바카라 베팅 typically eat during midsummer?

Potatoes, sour cream & chives, and dill, so much dill.

We are starting out easy. Peel and boil some potatoes with dill.
Chop some chives and sprinkle on top of the sour cream.


Salmon

All shapes and forms of salmon would work here, but typically gravlax or cold-smoked salmon are the crowd favorites. Serve with either mustard & dill sauce or rom sauce. We found a great selection of sauces at the Swedish online food store, .





Skagen toast

One of the best dishes to ever hail out of Sweden. You are most definitely going to want to serve this on your midsummer table. The one and only, , makes the best Skagen Toast we’ve tried so far.

 

 

Smörgåstårta

Smörgåstårta is one of the Swede’s best party tricks. This dish is easy to make, versatile enough to fit anyone’s palate, dietary restrictions, or preferences, and it’s filling. Also, a smörgåstårta is a sure sign of summer in Sweden.

Surströmming

Pickled herrings evil cousin. Look, we’re not saying you have to, but is it really a Swedish midsummer without surströmming? Effectively striking out your family and friends for a good couple of minutes is the best way to start a party. Fair warning – if you are indoors, don’t bother unless you are willing to repaint the walls in your house.




Meatballs

Cheese

During Midsummer, 바카라 베팅 enjoy a variety of cheeses, with Jarlsberg, Hushållsost, and V바카라 베팅 방법sterbotten being among the favorites. Jarlsberg, similar to the popular Swedish cheese Herrgårdsost, is widely available in grocery stores across the U.S., including Whole Foods.

V바카라 베팅 방법sterbotten cheese, however, is considered the true holiday cheese in Sweden but can be quite difficult to find in the U.S. Although some specialty stores carry it, we recommend trying Swedishness, where we successfully ordered our V바카라 베팅 방법sterbotten cheese. If you can get your hands on V바카라 베팅 방법sterbotten or Hushållsost, it would most definitely be worth the effort for that authentic touch to your Midsummer celebration.
