Svenksa Smorgasbord

We had everyone over for the usual Swedish smorgasbord dinner for Christmas. I'm probably missing things but we consumed
  • herring in mustard sauce
  • herring in wine sauce
  • herring in cream sauce
  • sardines
  • gravlax
  • salmon pate
  • pickled beets
  • pickled cucumbers
  • carraway akvavit
  • saffron akvavit
  • prinz korv
  • potato sausages
  • many kinds of Swedish dry flatbreads
  • stuffed grapeleaves (taking the place of stuffed cabbage!)
  • Jarlsberg and other Nordic style cheeses
  • Goat Cheese and a stinky (very) washed rind cheese
  • Swedish meatballs
  • Lingonberries
  • Johannsson potatoes (some made without anchovies)
  • a giant bone in ham
  • green beans
  • Rutmus (rutabaga and turnip casserole)
I'm forgetting all the stuff for dessert too, but by then everyone was full anyways. I'll post pictures, even though it was done in stages. We had a lot of people over, so that was good too.
