I have met with my contact family again; they invited me to
their house for a traditional Swedish dinner. The house is by the other side of
the lake from where I live and is a beautiful cozy home, they have 2 kids, an 8
year old daughter and a cute 3 year old boy, they didn’t know English but we
were trying our best to communicate each other with pictures and google images
lol. I actually helped the mom cook the traditional Swedish dinner, they
thought it would be a better experience for us (me and the other contact student from Africa) if we cooked with them our meal
from scratch. So yes I learn how to cook Swedish köttbullar (which is
meatballs), with mashed potatoes and lingon (a small red fruit which they use
to make a type of sweet jelly to eat with the potatoes and meatballs). The
traditional food in Sweden is a bit plain in my opinion but nevertheless it was
delicious and memorable to share dinner with a Swedish family! <3
