Meals I ate in Sweden that I forgot to take pictures of:
Multiple salami and brie sandwiches with lettuce and tomato on multi grain rolls or baguettes. So delicious! Yes, I did have to take 2 lactase pills each time. Worth it.
An avocado and brie sandwich with lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, and sprouts on a roll. Amazing! And yes, took 2 lactase pills, again.
An incredible homemade chicken and chorizo paella (made by my dad). Wow!
Smørrebrød, or Danish-style open faced sandwiches, one with meatballs and a Swedish-style beet salad and the other with curry chicken salad. Is there another word for amazing? I'm running out of adjectives.
A chockladboll which is an incredible ball of oatmeal and butter and chocolate and sugar rolled in pearl sugar.
A charcuterie and arugula pizza from a restaurant named Stuk. In Sweden, they serve you the pizza uncut. You have to do it yourself with a fork and knife. The pizza was good, but I didn't enjoy the effort it took.
Vietnamese food from Restaurang Vi Viet in Gothenberg. I had a lemongrass beef and noodle dish that knocked my socks off. One of my dinner companions had a chicken curry over noodles that I eyed covetously.
Friday taco night! Instead of Taco Tuesday, Swedes eat tacos on Fridays. Grilled chicken and steak, sauted onions and red peppers, sour cream (lactose free), guac, and homemade pico. AND fuckin' homemade tortillas! My dad is an amazing cook.
A Greek pasta salad from an ICA recipe in their magazine Buffe. ICA is a grocery store in Sweden. The pasta salad was so simple and easy to make and so freaking delicious. Here's the recipe:
