More about Scandinavian food:

AQUAVIT - caraway-flavored vodka, served freezer-cold in shot glasses, tossed back in one gulp.

Scandinavian food is never spicy. A Scandinavian joke: Ole and Lena have been married so long, they're on their second bottle of Tabasco sauce.

I saw this on a button once: "Lutefisk - The Piece of Cod that Passeth All Understanding."

More Ole and Lena jokes. And there are lots of other sites with Ole and Lena jokes. Use any search engine to find them.

Here's a recipe for lefse. I can't vouch for it. I've never made lefse myself, or seen it made. In fact, I think all the lefse I've ever eaten has been store-bought.

A rather unusual and charming Swedish custom is the celebration of Santa Lucia's Day, December 13. This is odd because (1) Santa Lucia was Italian, and Italians are about as different from Swedes as you can imagine. (2) The Scandinavian countries are mostly Lutheran, and Lutherans don't recognize saints as such. (3) Swedes even sing a song to honor Santa Lucia. It was originally an Italian song - it's the one stereotypically sung by Venetian gondoliers in old movies. But the Swedes sing it in Swedish of course.
