A comparison between Czeck and Swedish food


Hello Ivana!
I have read the letter about traditional meals in your country and made a comparison between Swedish and Czech food.

In Czech school you have school canteens and we have that too. Here in Sweden we go to the canteen and eat and we don’t have to pay for the lunch.
Some typical school meals in our school are potatoes, fish, pasta and meatballs.
You told us that you have soup every day. We have soup too but not so often.
One difference between our countries are the dumplings. Swedish dumplings are with pork and onions inside the potato mixture. Your dumplings are just potato mixture, isn’t it?
You like chicken with rice and Swedish students do that too. In our school we like hamburgers. One meal we don’t have so often is pizza but pizza is also very good. In Sweden we have both white bread and dark bread, just like you.
In our homes everyone helps to cook but in your country are only the mothers cooking. I think that is bad because everyone should learn to cook and it can be fun to do it. In Sweden both boys and girls have Home Economics and that is good so everyone learns to take care of the house.
Traditional meals here in Sweden are meatballs, pancakes, fried herring and dumplings with pork and onion.

Hello Albin,
I like your article about food. Czech dumplings can be made of common flour or of potato mixture. We have hundreds of kinds of this meal, you can buy various cookery books focused only on this kind of food. Despite of being not very healthy, this is the most favourite side dish here. I hope I will have time to put some more photos of our meals on this blog.
Ivana.
