Last Friday was midsummer, but because I’m not in Sweden but in Korea I had to improvise with ingredients which I could find here.
- Toast Skagen
- Fried salmon
- Gravad lax
- Crisp bread with cheese
- This years small potatoes
- Absolut vodka
- Danish Heineken
- Danish Somersby apple cider
- Strawberries with whipped cream
It’s interesting that the solstice is considered mid summer in Sweden. In the US I’ve usually heard that the solstice is the start of summer
I’d say that the summer months in Sweden are considered to be June, July and August, making Midsummer fall slightly earlier than in the middle of summer. Summer weather lasts for more than that nowadays though, with the weather getting nice in May and lasting a bit into september.
