Keeping the dream alive - Kraftskiva

One thing that was disappointing about Sweden was that we had to leave before Kraftskiva - the crayfish Party held in August to celebrate (commiserate?) the end of summer. However, with thanks to IKEA, we were able to have our own Kraftskiva on the other side of the world!

Our Kraftskiva was composed of:
- Kraftor (Swedish Crayfish)
- Sill (pickled herring)
- Hallakaka (arctic bread)
- parron dryka (pear drink)
plus salad, potatoes and cheese.

I had to guess how to serve it all as we haven't been to a Kraftskiva, but we thought it looked pretty good.

The moose serviette holder is a Swedish souvenir, as is the official Kraftskiva teatowel!

We finished off with the traditional Swedish dessert of glass med hjortron (ice cream with cloudberries).

Yum.

We might do this every year.
