Thanks so much for your comment, Gina, and for visiting The Great Affair! I would happily spend another weekend in Sweden doing nothing but eating I can’t recommend it enough. By the way, I’ve just checked out your blog and love your premise. I look forward to following along!

Wow, all of that looks delicious. I just realized that prior to reading this post I had no idea what type of food constituted being Swedish cuisine. Already wanted to go there – now I really do!

Whoa, reindeer chili…now I’d definitely be up for trying that. Hm, it’s a hard call about where to go – I think it depends on what you want to see and do. I love Stockholm simply for its beautiful old town quarter, Gamla Stan. It’s also built on an archipelago and I’d love to go back and do an islands cruise through it (http://www.stromma.se/en/Skargard/Stromma-Kanalbolaget/Day-cruises/Thousand-Island-Cruise/). What I’m dying to see in Norway are the fjords, which aren’t exactly easy to get to from Oslo, but look incredible. I’d say Norway if you’re looking for a natural adventure, Sweden for more city life. I’m not too familiar with Finland as we only stayed with a friend outside Helsinki and didn’t explore the capital too much. Really, though, you can’t go wrong with Scandinavia

Oh, no Definitely didn’t intend to inspire any stomach-somersaults, haha. The reindeer was delicious, though. I was a little afraid I’d feel like I was “eating Rudolph,” but it tasted great–and was fun to cook too!

That reindeer looks delicious. I chose a bad day to read this post. Skipped lunch and now my stomach is doing somersaults!

Ah, I can definitely imagine! I felt the exact same way after my time in India last year – Sweden was the opposite, definitely a carnivore’s delight. I’m guessing your first meal back in Spain will be a massive steak then?
