A public Swedish Christmas Dinner (julbord) could look like this:
vörtbröd(brewer's wortscented bread) with or without dopp i grytan(souplike stuff made from the ham's fat and water - you are supposed to dip your bread in it).. a starter
other kinds of bread like hard bread(everywhere else called knäckebröd, eh), French white bread
Lutfisk (Christian had the reciepe, I don't repeat it)
julskinka(ham prepared in a special way, cooked , glaced with mustard)
Janssons frestelse (anshovy and sliced potatoes baked together)
salmon
cooked red cabbage
cooked potatoes
sometimes fried potatoes
sill (herring pickled in various tastes e.g. tomato, mustard, even garlic)
meatballs
egghalves
sallads
sweet mustard and gräddfil(fermented sour cream) as a dip
rice ala mande as a dessert
crackers(edible kind)
julöl(Christmas beer)
Julmust(dark Christmas lemonade like drink)
other kinds of soft drinks
soda water
just water (from the tap - as every day)
sup(snapps)

You take as much or as little as you want of what you want and sit down an chat and eat until morning at about 4 or 5 when its time to go to Julottan, a special early sevice in church...

This is not really my 'religion'. Hence the public variation.

Have a Merry Christmas
