Just wondering what some of your guys favorite Christmas (and other holiday) eats are. Grandpa was born in Sweden and always made Krumkake for the holidays along with Rosettes, Swedish meatballs, and others. I've kinda taken over some of the traditions since he died to keep them going.
I've got plenty of Norwegian in me too which brings with it a taste for Lefse.

Uff-da, good stuff, plenty of Scandinavian heritage here.

What are the traditions of your families?

 

I've always been a fan of Krumkaka and Rosettes! The more my family makes the happier I am!

It's just not Christmas without snow but if I can spill enough of that powered sugar from the rosettes around I might be happy. Swedish meatballs Saturday night while we celebrate at my mothers house. That's about all I can ask a German to bake. I kind of get bombarded with German food which is also very good. I still wish there was snow thou.

Ever had Sauerbraaten (sp?) I tried that at a friend's house, I think it's German. I thought it was pretty good.

We're getting a little snow to stick here now been going for a day and a half now and we only have less than an inch. Supposed to keep going for a few days though. Let's hope.

I have had my share of that stuff.

The small bottles are called a "Kyelling"(sp)slang for Chicken.

As I remember it is 42% alcohol.

I'll be back after I find an old bottle of it.

Found it .



Aalborg Jubilæums Akvavit Original (Danish Spiced Vodka)


Half bottle: 500 ml (16.9 US fl oz) AALBORG AKVAVIT - the spirit of Denmark. Akvavit was originally discovered by alchemists searching for the secret of eternal youth and beauty. The akvavit produced for the first two hundred years or so was not particularly attractive however - in fact, it was actually a bit cloudy. But ever since the first bottle of AALBORG AKVAVIT was distilled in 1840, the golden, crystal-clear drops of this particular beverage have been a pleasure both to look at and to taste - especially when served in traditional, long-stemmed akvavit glasses. The long stem means that your hand does not warm the drink as you raise your glass to toast family and friends. It also gives you a full sparkling view of the contents of your glass as it catches the light. AALBORG JUBILÆUMS Akvavit - distinct dill and coriander. AALBORG JUBILÆUMS Akvavit is golden and elegant, with a few simple aromas. The characteristic flavour of this clean and fruity akvavit is dill in sophisticated combination with coriander.
There is also a trace of star aniseed and citrus, all smothly rounded off with a spicy burnt taste not unlike caramel. AALBORG JUBILÆUMS Akvavit was created in 1946 to celebrate the centenary of AALBORG TAFFEL Akvavit. It is perfect for fish - preferably fatty fish fried in the pan. Duck and chicken with a full, light gravy also make a perfect match for charming AALBORG JUBILÆUMS Akvavit. Best served chilled. Perfect served as schnaps. Alcoholic strength: 42% vol

Swedish Law does not allow us to sell alcoholic beverage to persons living in Sweden
