You are charged 2 kronor, which is the
price of a meal at all railway refreshment rooms, and help yourself at a
big central table, crayfish soup, fish, meat, poultry, game, and sweets
all being included in the meal, and a glass of light beer.
Gothenburg
The restaurant of the Haglund is a good one, and I give one of the menus
of its dinner at 3 kronor:--
SOPPA.
Potage a la Parmentier.
FISK.
Saumon grillee a la maitre d'hotel.
KOeTTRAeTT.
Langue de Boeuf Garni. Sauce aux Olives, ou Fricandeau de veau aux
pois.
STEK.
Poulet a la Printanier. Compotes.
EFTERRAeTT.
Bavaroise hollandaise ou Framboises.
National Dishes
There are very few Swedish national dishes, milk, cream, butter, and
fish being, however, excellent. The _Smoergasbord_ is the great
institution of the country. _Plaettar_, or Swedish pancakes, are also
good.
Norway
Norway is by no means a happy hunting ground for the gourmet. Salmon,
halibut, and ptarmigan are the usual luxuries, and they pall on the
palate after a time. The Hotel Victoria at Christiana is well spoken of
in the matter of cooking, and the Brittania at Throndhjem is said to
cater well considering the latitude it is situated in.
Denmark
From the gourmet's point of view there is little to write as to the
Copenhagen restaurants.
