Foods of Scandinavia

There the daily fare includes gravalax (cured salmon), smorrebrod (thick open-faced sandwiches), pea soup, pancakes, and appelkaka (apple cake). Traditional Christmas foods are discussed, as well as the tradition of the fika (or "going out for coffee") and the well-known, huge buffets called smorgasbords.
