Midsummer Dinner

Ingredients:
1 jar	mustard hearing
1 jar	garlic hearing or seafood hearing
	new potatoes
	dill
	chives
250 ml	sour cream
4	pieces of salmon
	butter/oil
	mixed salad
8 slices	crisp bread
	butter
	mature hard cheese such as Västerbotten

Cooking: 1. Boil new potatoes with dill. 2. Chop chives. 3. Fry salmon and make a salad. 4. Serve pickled hearing with new potatoes, sour cream and chopped chives as sort of a starter. Then continue with fried salmon, potatoes, sour cream and a salad. Have crisp bread with butter and mature cheese on the side. The only drinks allowed are lots of beers and Swedish schnapps! Have strawberries and whipped cream for dessert.

Midsummer in Sweden is a big holiday! Just as you guys may have turkey for Thanksgiving or fruit cake for Christmas, Midsummer has a very set menu.

At least try the pickled hearing. It's very inexpensive and a must on the Midsummer dinner table. As is Swedish schnapps, which is nothing like the surupy things you get in the UK. It's strong and dry, 40% and flavoured with herbs or spicies, such as elderberry. We always sing a song which ends in a cheer before each schnapps.
