One day I was invited for dinner at a Swedish friend and she offered me a delicious soup (recipe at the end of the post!) - in that moment I was conquered by the Swedish cusine and later on tried also different dishes:

The below is a very short list of the kinds of food you would enconter in Sweden:

## meatballs
Believe this is the most famous dish in Sweden. My friend told me no one makes better meatballs than her mother who lives in Gothenburg ;-) For the ones that know the brand IKEA (store of furnishing and appliances) would recognize this dish from their store restaurant.

## swedish crackers
Staple food very common in the nordic countries - goes nicely with butter, cheese and/or fruit jam

## Ginger snaps
In Swedish "pepparkakor" delicious biscuits with ginger pepper and cinnamon - tastes like Christmas!

## salmon soup
This is the soup I tried at my friend and also could reproduced it later at home. Sorry about the picture which is not one of the best, but its taste was incredible!
