The 400-Year-Old Swedish Dessert That Will Make You Dizzy

In this episode of MUNCHIES Guide to Sweden, Ivar’s trip to the Skåne region kicks up a few surprises. First, we learn about Spettkaka, a meringue dessert which has been given PGI (Protected Geographical Indication) status under European Union law. For lunch, Ivar stops in Malmö to find out about the huge impact of falafel on the city. And Swedes love to celebrate with food, so Ivar ends the day with a goose feast in Lund to celebrate a festival called Mårten Gås.

Du lyssnade inte på vad hon sa. "Spettkaka" är inte namnskyddat. "Skånsk spettkaka" är det. Det får inte innehålla annat än potatismjöl, ägg och socker (så inget vetemjöl som de t.ex gör i Billinge, som alltså får kalla det för spettkaka, men inte Skånsk spettkaka) och de måste tillverkas i Skåne.

[@caesaranthonyrnrnt7330]
