This isn’t a review of the book. I did read the book. I do have a reviewed planned for the book but it is still in my head and I haven’t gotten around to shaking it out of my head yet. When I do, I will let you know.
My whole purpose of this post is to talk about sandwiches. Swedish sandwiches in particular.
How random is that?! It is almost as random as doing a post on personalized basketballs.
The book took place mostly in Sweden and as such they ate a lot of Swedish food. Now I willingly admit that I don’t know much about Swedish food, unless you count Swedish fish but those little red delights aren’t really from Sweden and they aren’t really fish so I don’t think that they count.
But based on this book, Swedish food is a lot of sandwiches and coffee and not the kind of sandwich that I would want to eat either. They had liverwurst and mustard, pate and pickles, and lots and lots of cheese. Now I am not sure if these sandwiches that they consumed all the time were accurate of what the Swedish are actually eating.
So I am throwing it out there, do these sandwiches actually exist? Or was the author totaling messing with the North Americans and the Swedish eat way better than this?
