3. Pickled Herring
Pickled herring is very traditional Swedish food that people often turn their nose up at because of the pungent smell, but any tourist to Sweden should really give it a chance. Herring is usually served with boiled potatoes, sour cream, and often accompanied by boiled eggs or sharp cheese. On Swedish menus, you’ll often see the abbreviation S.O.S, which stands for smör (cheese), ost (butter), sill (herring). This simple dish is served with crispbread on the side so diners can build their own herring sandwiches.
