Swedish cuisine (husmanskost home cooking) centers on preserved and pickled fish (gravlax, pickled herring, surströmming), köttbullar (meatballs) with lingonberry, root vegetables, rye, and dairy. The smörgÄsbord buffet and fika (coffee + cardamom buns) are cultural institutions. Midsommar and Jul anchor festive tables.
