Scandinavian Food

Since we're off to Scandinavia I thought it only appropriate to talk about what we might expect to eat there. This was the first recipe I encountered when searching for Iceland, yum! Other than that it looks like Iceland is known for it's wide variety of fish (caught in the unpolluted North Atlantic waters), and fresh vegetables.

Icelandic Pancakes (or Crepes) with Whipped Cream.
Batter: 3 cups flour, 4 eggs, 3 tbs. butter (melted), 1/2 tsp. baking soda, 1/2 tsp. baking powder, 1 tsp. vanilla essence, 2 ½ -3 cups milk.

Directions: Separate egg whites and beat until stiff. Mix together all other ingredients and add the egg whites last. Bake paper-thin on a hot cast-iron griddle (about 9 inches in diameter). Spread with preserves, jam or jelly, one tablespoon whipped cream. Fold into triangles. Serve with afternoon coffee or as dessert. (Traditional)

In Norway, fish will be in abundance as well but I also found this link to traditional Norwegian foods to try while we're there.

And finally, in Sweden there are many internationally renown chefs and restaurants so I don't think we'll have any difficulty finding something delicious to try. This Ice Bar/Restaurant has been recommended and is on our list of possibilities.

We'll try to take plenty of pictures to share when we return.
