@ Seamus - yuck!!!


Swedish Meatballs are extremely tasty (I make them by memory, I tried my best to list out).

Half and half of ground beef and ground pork (maybe half pound of each).
1 onion - minced
1 egg
breadcrumbs (maybe half a deciliter give or take)
white pepper (this is really potent, so you do need to be careful with this. I would say probably two to three pinches)
salt (maybe a pinch or two)

Mix all together, roll into balls, put in frying pan on medium heat, cook till done.

You can eat with ketchup, or if you have access to lingonberries you can have that with mashed potatoes, and of course they are tasty without any condiments too.

Thanks for the recipe smile.gif I'm really going to try this one. Can I possibly do this without the pork? Thank you again

Eat well, but don't forget your diet!

Well you can do without the pork, but this is the typical Swedish meatball recipe and it includes pork, lol!

For easy dessert recipes, see below.

(the saffransbullar and pepparkakor are typically made this time of year, I don't care for either of these but they are very popular here)

Also, here is some random ones that are generally enjoyed by all in Sweden -

(there are quite a few recipe variations on here, but you can click on the recipes based on the pictures or you can do your own google search and find probably even a different variation)

From my childhood it has always been Raggmunk.

Not sure why, maybe I am a carb lover, maybe I just like the taste but being in California, I've never found any place that makes these even close to what I liked as a kid. I make my own mostly on weekends. Something about this dish, American pancakes on weekends? Not sure.

I've always thought the potatoes my mother used were just different than the ones I get out here and that makes all the difference. biggrin.gif

Thank you for the list of recipes! Very helpful.

Or an 'English' or an 'American'.
Don't get too carried away with your bias.
Even in the UK, you won't here the likes of 'An English' - but 'Chinese', 'Thai' or an 'Indian' - they get heard almost anywhere.
