Anatomy of a smörgåsbord

I really am the only person I know who likes beets. I can sit down and eat a whole jar of them. I thought that this was a gross thing until I saw that I could eat a whole POUND of them in this article. Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Get me to a smörgåsbord.

Tom – I love the beets, too. In borscht, in salad, and (of course!) pickled, too. Good times with assorted pickles and cheeses at Grandma’s house.

In Australia, I ate shredded beet on sandwiches and burgers.

Thanks Eva – Shot them with a small Panasonic Lumix. Didn’t want to look like a doofus with a SLR at the crowded buffet table

….. and in Scania (southernmost region of Sweden), the other important dishes are meatballs, spare ribs and “brunkål” and “rödkål, or brown and red cabbage.

Cee

I like beets, too. Eat enough of ‘em and there’s always a shock the next morning.

On another note, that salmon looks delicious.

Well, well are you guys Chinese copycats or what? As a Swede that has been eating smorgasboard since i was in diapers i can say this article does not portray the real thing. The real thing has kottbullar, gravad salmon with gravlaxsas, boiled potatoes, stuffed egg halfs, herring in different styles and flavors and Janssons frestelse. This looks more like a resturant “julbord” then a real smorgasbord. Oh, i forgot, plenty of snaps and julmust on the table.
