Meat and Potatoes
Once upon a time, I was actually a vegetarian for ten years. Now, my favorite dishes seems to be on the classic theme “meat and potatoes”. Steak and baked potato is the king of dishes, of course, but for lunch it’s not completely wrong with fried pork, potato dumplings and lingonberry jam. I wonder if this has to do with some strange longing for simplicity. After years of despise for old Swedish homely cooking, eating food from around the world, often with complex taste and texture, I’m coming home to the basic tastes I grew up with.
