If you're in Stockholm in December, I heartily recommend going to the Christmas market at Skansen. Skansen is an outdoor museum and zoo - and it's always worth a visit.
Lots of different kinds of crisp bread. (To make your own, check out my recipes here and here.)
There's a lot to eat at the market. This stall served...
...elk! "A taste of Scandinavian wilderness", as they called it. It's a great-tasting meat, actually!
Sugared almonds. Always, always found at christmas markets, and I always buy them.
This stall sold different sorts of christmas-y drinks.
Skansen is gorgeous all year round, and it has old houses from different parts of Sweden.
One of few animals we met on this cold winter day.
Lovely! I'd love to go there.

It is in the 60s in Texas so these pictures helped get me in the Christmas spirit. Those sugared almonds look delicious!
ReplyDeleteLooks absolutely beautiful. My great-grandparents emigrated from Sweden to the U.S. I love to see the pictures as they help me feel more connected to my heritage. Now the sugared almonds my mother often made at Christmas make sense. Thank you, Anne!
ReplyDeleteHappy Christmas to you & your family, Anne! Love the windmill photo. Enjoy the weekend & all the best for 2011.
ReplyDeleteAmazing! I want a Xmas market like this in Rome :) It's so magic for me.

Merry Christmas Anne. I love the picture of the market and museum, those buildings look so lovely. Really looks like a Christmas should be. We are mild today on Christmas eve and dry, but rain to come tomorrow. Have had a lovely week though ...nice and mild and lovely sunshine ...in mid 50's F.
