<\/a>anywhere around dinner time without being surrounded by the lovely smell of barbequed meat and exciting marinades. EVERYONE barbeques, in some apartment blocks you are even aloud to do it on the balcony and pretty much all big blocks of flats have common areas with barbeques. Many public areas has\u00a0 big barbeques that anyone can use and the sales of disposable barbeques are rocketing by this time. Well, you get the picture.\u00a0 Pork meat, sausages, chicken, salmon, vegetables…. anything that can go on the barbeque will go on the barbeque, eaten with new potatoes – only to be found in Sweden between June and August – or a potatoe sallad, a green sallad and a cold sauce of any kind.<\/p>\nThe first ten times you dig into this plate of traditional summer food, it’s like heaven. You aaah and mmm throughout the whole meal and it always ends with comments like\u00a0 “Why don’t we do this more often?!” and “There is nothing like a grilled piece of meat!”.\u00a0 Come July, the barbeque meals are not that exciting anymore, but hey, it’s summer and summertime means barbeque time! Once again we light our grills, buy another exciting jar of marinade and eat with a little less aaah but still a bit of mmm.<\/p>\n
Come August, the barbeque smells are a lot less frequent. The comments around the dinner table are more subdued and the flyer from the take away pizza place are looking more tempting by the hour. Yesterday, we all hit that point and that is exactly why we are having Calzone, Capricciosa and Margaritha on the menu tonight. And boy I can’t wait.<\/p>\n
PS: In between the barbeques, we have been doing some foraging as well. Here are some of our amazing treasures:<\/p>\n
