What is “typical Swedish” and who decides what’s typical and/or not typical?
As in many countries around the world there are certain things that are considered as “typical” for Sweden and the Swedes.
Some of them are inherited (or copied if you wish) from other cultures, while others have deep roots in the Swedish history. The latter being what I consider as “typical Swedish”.
I’ve chosen to present some of it in a photo gallery without further presentation. Please feel free to comment and/or question my choices of what I think of as “typical Swedish”.
A bun filled with marsipan and whipped cream.
A typical dish served at Easter, Christmas and Midsommar.
A small town where they design and hand-make glass.
Furniture, decor, curtains, plants, bed linnen, pillows… You name it, Ikea’s got it.
Berries are a big part of the Swedish nature and often used in desserts.
Idyllic fishing villages along the coast is typical for Sweden.
The crayfish-party is a typical event that usually takes place in August or September.
