påskmat (Easter food)

We had the pleasure of celebrating Easter dinner both on the Eve of the day (påskafton),

 and then again with other friends on Easter Sunday.

I am sharing a picture of the "firsts" we had at our svensk friend's, which some enjoyed with a little snapps (a shot) or beer.  I share it simply because it was delicious, and because it is not something I would have had in the US.

It is an open faced sandwich
 (which is almost the only way I see swedes have sandwiches),
with buttered dark bread, hard-boiled egg, herring, and chives.  Lovely.
