    Default Typisk svensk rätt?

    Hejsan!
    Jag behöver er hjälp med läxor! Finns det en typisk svensk rätt eller mat som är också vegan? Eller som kan bli "veganiserat" utan svårighet?
    (Ursäckta mig för min svenska...)
    Tack

    Hej! Jag pratar bara lite svenska, so I'll answer you in English

    I guess traditional Swedish food isn't very vegan, like most northern European traditional food, but its pretty easy to be vegan in Sweden. I think they have the highest number of vegans per population size in the world, and a really good animal rights movement as well.

    You can get soya milk and yoghurt etc in a lot of supermarkets (and vegan caviar in one shop in Stockholm!), but there are a few local goodies, such as Delicato kokosbollar which are amazing chocolate fudge ball things (and you can get them in IKEAs outside Sweden!). Bor du i Sverige, eller ska du aka det?

    Thanks for replying, Jonny I was actually asking a different thing though: I need to write about a typical swedish dish for homework, and of course I refuse to choose Pytt i panna and things like that, so I was wondering if there are any traditional recipes that are also naturally vegan or that can be easily veganized without changing it completely (by substituting cow milk with soy milk for example, not by making seitan kötbullar)
    I wish I lived in Sweden, I'm actually stuck in Italy

    There's a Swedish restaurant near me called Fika that I really want to try but haven't had a chance yet (I've never had Swedish food but want to!). They serve only one vegetarian dish, but it can be veganized. I'm not sure how authentic it is, but it's called Vegi Planka. The description says "A cocktail of chick peas, mung, butter beans, and winter vegetables," served with "gently grilled home made pressed potato (no dairy) and grilled tomato." It sounds interesting to me, but I'm not sure if it's a traditional dish.

    Haha, I figured the mung beans and chickpeas must not be traditional. I'd still like to try it sometime though! (I LOVE chickpeas!)

    Me too, going vegan made me discover chickpeas and I could live off on them.

    If you ever come back to London there are usually quite a few vegan meet-ups going on so you can definitely meet up with some awesome vegans (or if there aren't any going on you can arrange a meet-up for when you're here!).

    Traditionell svensk mat består mest av kött och potatis. Förmodligen för att det är för kallt för att odla så mycket frukt och grönt här, och förr behövde man så mycket energi som möjligt ör att orka arbeta och då var det kött och potatis som gällde!
    Att importera var det ju inte heller frågan om för ett par 100 år sen.

    Please can you write in English? I would like to understand your posts too, and Swedish is not one of the five languages I speak.

    Hi.

    One Swedish dish you could easily make vegan is "rårakor".

    Ingredients

    Salt
    Pepper
    8 potatoes
    Some sort of oil of your choise (I prefer rape oil)


    Cooking
    1. Peel and grate the potatoes to coarse strips.

    2. Heat the oil in a pan. Add in 1 / 4 of the grated potatoes. Flatten with a spatula. Fry the "råraka" about 3 minutes on each side, until it is golden brown and slightly crisp. Add salt and pepper.

    3. Serve with lingonberry jam (can be bought at your local IKEA).


    Cheers // Nolerion

    Mmm... sounds great

    I think you meant "rapeseed" oil though...

    Thanks for posting! (and welcome to the forum!)
