Some of the traditional dishes of Sweden are hundreds of years old, but are still an essential part of the everyday meals of the people. There is a very long coast and many rivers and lakes. This makes seafood and fish a large part of the Swedish diet and most Swedes love seafood including salmon that is usually marinated or smoked. A common Swedish breakfast is a sandwich made of different kinds of soft breads, cottage cheese, cream cheese, cold cuts, eggs, goat cheese, cucumbers, tomatoes or toast. All this is often served with juice, coffee and honey.
