Comments on: Anatomy of a Smörgåsbord http://matadorlife.com/anatomy-of-a-smorgasbord/ Just another WordPress weblog Sun, 14 Mar 2010 14:48:57 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Lola http://matadorlife.com/anatomy-of-a-smorgasbord/comment-page-1/#comment-3839 Lola Sat, 16 Jan 2010 04:13:21 +0000 http://matadorlife.com/?p=936#comment-3839 Thanks for chiming in Herr Danielson. If you look closely, you will notice photo #2 shows "herring in different styles", photo #3 shows gravad lax, and photo #8 shows potatoes. As you also know, pepparkakor (ginger snaps), glögg, and julmust are usually consumed during Christmas (jul). As for stuffed egg halves, check out photo #4 of a julbord - http://lolaakinmade.com/2009/12/28/photo-essay-snow-23-below-and-christmas-tidings/ Most smörgåsbords have all these base items including kottbullar (meatballs) which were also available, but I didn't take photos of.

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. Well, well are you guys Chinese copycats or what?

Eat enough of 'em and there's always a shock the next morning. On another note, that salmon looks delicious. I like beets, too. Eat enough of ‘em and there’s always a shock the next morning.

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.
