Talk:Swedish cuisine

Introduction requires improvement
"Historically, in the far north, meats such as reindeer, and other (semi-)game dishes were eaten, some of which have their roots in the Sami culture, while fresh vegetables have played a larger role in the South. Many traditional dishes employ simple, contrasting flavours, such as the traditional dish of meatballs and brown cream sauce with tart, pungent lingonberry jam (slightly similar in taste to cranberry sauce)." - requires citation

"Swedes have traditionally been very open to foreign influences, ranging from French cuisine during the 17th and 18th centuries, to the sushi and caffé latte of today." - This just sounds silly in general and sounds like something you'd read in a guide for tourists in Sweden. It is unnecessary to mention both sushi and caffé latte, first because it is redundant but most importantly because there is nothing to indicate that Swedes are particularly fond of caffé latte and sushi in comparison to other foreign influences (which would arguably be more relevant) such as kebabpizza or perhaps Swedish "tacos".

"Swedes have traditionally been very open to foreign influences" is also redundant as its just some truism that provides nothing new. This can be said about nearly any country's cuisine on the planet – that's how food develops over time... Also, [citation needed].

I'm not entirely sure how the rules work on Wikipedia so I'll just leave my thoughts here and let someone handle the rest. 115.160.184.164 (talk) 17:29, 11 December 2022 (UTC)

About paltbröd.
Traditionally it was more of a loaf of bread where the liquids where replaced with blood making the bread black. It was eaten as normal bread until it became stale, then what was left was boiled and served with fried pork, lingonberries and white gravy. You can still buy such loafs, but the modern "tunnbröd" variant is more popular and has a longer shelf life... 92.35.31.116 (talk) 19:50, 22 April 2024 (UTC)
