In fact, they&#8217;re so popular there&#8217;s even an annual Kanelbulle Dag (Cinnamon Bun Day) in celebration of the sugary spiced snack.

Their love affair with Surstr\u00f6mming (fermented herring) dates to the middle ages, when it was salted and fermented as a form of preservation. Fermented fish may sound like an acquired taste, but eaten in tiny quantities atop a tunnbr\u00f6d (thin bread) with cr\u00e8me fraiche and dill, it&#8217;s quite the delicacy and always takes centre-stage on a smorgasbord (a giant Swedish platter). You can buy tins of Surstr\u00f6mming but it&#8217;s best experienced in a restaurant if you&#8217;re unsure what to pair it with.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lingonberry<\/strong><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-8520 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2017\/05\/Lingonberries-CREDIT-www.istockphoto.jpg\" alt=\"Swedish foods\" width=\"1698\" height=\"1131\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Lingonberries-CREDIT-www.istockphoto.jpg 1698w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Lingonberries-CREDIT-www.istockphoto-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Lingonberries-CREDIT-www.istockphoto-330x220.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Lingonberries-CREDIT-www.istockphoto-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Lingonberries-CREDIT-www.istockphoto-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Lingonberries-CREDIT-www.istockphoto-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1698px) 100vw, 1698px\" \/>Similar to a cranberry in tartness, the lingonberry is a red berry fruit that&#8217;s commonly made into jams and condiments across Scandinavia. It grows in forest shrubs and is used to accompany savoury foods like reindeer steak, blood pudding or those infamous meatballs.

A round, domed sugar-laden confection, it features different alternating layers of light sponge, cream and jam with a bright green marzipan coating, topped with a pink rose.
