Breakfast
Frukost, filmjölk, grovt bröd — what a Swedish morning table looks like.
The Swedish breakfast in serving order: porridge and filmjölk, the bread board with its osthyvel and cucumber-on-cheese architecture, the tube caviar and boiled egg, coffee (förstås) — then breakfast's social forms: the standing weekday version, the slow weekend långfrukost, the hotel buffet that decides the review, and birthday breakfast in bed with crumbs everywhere.
