We're Having A Meatball Moment - And It's The Swedish Mum's Best Kept Secret That's Winning Us Over
As the trend
for all things Nordic gathers pace, in particular its food culture, so are
sales of the iconic Swedish recipe meatball. Scan Original Swedish Meatballs
(www.scanmeatballs.com), the number one in Sweden and the UK, has been given a
makeover with a new improved recipe. To mark the iconic Swedish Midsummer
celebration, they've also been cooked up into a series of delicious recipes for

Whilst in
Britain sausages are our national culinary treasure - the fail-safe meal solution
that never lets us down - for Swedish families it's their beloved meatballs.
And now their favourite, ready-made meatball from Scan is fast becoming a
regular feature on UK dinner tables too.

Throwing your
own Swedish Midsummer Eve celebration? Here's Scan's guide on what not to
forget:
• The Smörgåsbord
– try pickled herring, meatballs, mini sausages and gravad lax
• The drinks –
plenty of cold beers and snaps, preferably a spiced snaps (cumin, rosemary and
star anise are popular)
• A variety of
breads and crisp breads, a Swedish favourite
• Pick 7
different kinds of flowers and put them under your pillow so you'll dream of
the person you are going to marry
• The Maypole –
great if you can build one but, if not, just make sure there's plenty of music
and dancing
• Flower
headbands for the girls – use artificial flowers if you can't find fresh or
dried versions
• Lots of
family and group games including tug of war, egg and spoon race and 'kubb'
which is a very popular game originally from Gotland which involves knocking
down bricks of wood with other bricks of wood - lots of fun!
