Ingredient appreciation — what makes Husmanskost special

What sets Husmanskost apart is the handling of dill. In lesser versions this is treated as a background note. Here it's central and the cream-enriched and comforting result shows it. I've started buying it to cook with at home after this experience.

the smörgåsbord tradition of abundant cold dishes influenced buffet culture worldwide. The a midsommar summer feast atmosphere was right for this kind of food. I had light lager as recommended and it matched well. If you want to understand what makes this cuisine distinctive, Husmanskost is the place to start.
