<\/a>\u00a0comes togehter with a salad. Agreed, it’s nothing mysterious about\u00a0a side salad with your pizza,\u00a0but this is a special salad, presumably as Swedish as pickled herring. We simply call it “Pizzasallad” and it consist only of white cabbage, oil, vinegar, pickled peppers and black pepper.\u00a0In a restaurant,\u00a0the pizza salad normally comes as a\u00a0help yourself-starter in a big bowl in the middle of the table and\u00a0if you\u00a0buy take away you get the pizza salad in a little\u00a0plastic cup. If it’s a really lousy pizza place, the salad comes in a little plastic bag…Mmm yummy!\u00a0 Some eat it before, some eat it on the pizza and some has it like a side dish. In other words, no pizza without a salad in Sweden!<\/p>\nI\u00a0got a\u00a0sudden craving for this tangy, delicious salad\u00a0last week\u00a0when we a few of us had\u00a0 pizza.\u00a0I made some myself (Again, esay as pie and sorry for all these food posts, just a period\u00a0of\u00a0food-homesickness…\u00a0) but no one apart from me understood the beauty of it… My cooking or my weird Swedish taste buds?<\/p>\n
Anyway, if you want to try this Swedish delicacy, here’s the simple recipe!<\/p>\n
- \n
- a\u00a0half head of white cabbage, ca 500 g<\/li>\n
- one red pepper<\/li>\n
- 100 ml vegetable oil<\/li>\n
- 2 tbs white vinegar<\/li>\n
- salt<\/li>\n
- coarsely-ground pepper<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Slice the cabbage finely and chop the red pepper. Make a dressing of oil, vinegar, salt, and pepper, and mix it with the cabbage and the pepper. Put the salad in the fridge, over nigh if possible, and enjoy!<\/p>\n
Anyway, back to my “mystery”.\u00a0Why on earth is this salad synonymous with pizza in Sweden? Or am I compeletly wrong? Does anyone else in the world munch on this together with their pizza? Or, do\u00a0you eat something else with your it? And, if you’ve tried it, what do you make of it?<\/p>\n
Have a great weekend – with lots of pizza and pizzasallad!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
While the rest of the world are occupied with solving the Stieg Larsson mysteries, I have found a mystery of my own.\u00a0 It might be very insignificant and it probably doesn’t takes a\u00a0hacker\u00a0like Salander to solve it, but I would gladly have your\u00a0take on it. Anyone ever had pizza in Sweden? If not, I can…<\/p>\n
