Sweden and its Cuisine

Sweden, offilicially Konungariket Sverige (The Kingdom of Sweden) is a Nordic country situated on the Scandinavian Peninsula of Norhtern Europe. Stockholm is its capital and largest city and the official language is Swedish (though Finnish, Meänkieli, Sami, Romani and Jiddisch are recognized as regional languages). Sweden is officially a Parliamentary democracy and Constitutional monarchy. The 17th century saw the rise of Sweden as one of the Great Powers in Europe. Sweden also had colonial possessions as a minor colonial Empire that existed from 1638—1663 and later 1785—1878. Sweden was during Imperial times the most powerful country of northern Europe and the Baltic Sea. Sweden's Imperial status took its start with Gustav II Adolph as king, who made Sweden the third biggest nation in Europe by area after Russia and Spain, and his successful participation in the Thirty Years' War, which made Sweden the recognized leader of continental Protestantism in Europe until 1721, when the Empire collapsed..

The Swedish economy is the world's 33rd largest and Sweden joined the European Union in 1995. The modern name 'Sweden' is thought to originate from Old English Sweoðeod, which meant "people of the Swedes" (Old Norse Svíþjóð, Latin Suetidi). This word is derived from Sweon/Sweonas (Old Norse Sviar, Latin Suiones). The Swedish name Sverige literally means "Realm of the Swedes". About 75% of all Swedes belong to the Lutheran Church of Sweden but that number seems to be decreasing at the rate of 1% every year and in acutality only about 8% of the country's inhabitants actively practice.

The traditioal cuisine of Sweden is fairly simple, based around the staples of fish, meat and potatoes. Spices (which had to be sourced from the Mediterranean) were scarce. But Swedish culinary culture is very open and has been influenced by French, Italian and latterly Japanese and North African cuisines.
