Knäckebröd (crispbread)

My favorite is Wasa: Falu råg rut (Falu rye square) that I are as an sandwich in school. At home it is Was: Husman (short for husmanskost (home cooking))

So they are special crackers?

The “Knäckebrot” from WASA is very common in germany. I love to eat it without everything. I love the taste and the crisp of that bread.

More or less. They are hard bread and lasts very long. They are usully eated during a soup meal.

I did a quick search, and they look good!
I like all the type of crackers and variants.
Crispbread as it´s called looks yummy.

I saw some in a store when I was in Berlin 6 years ago during my language trip. (I ate mostly schnitzel :wink: and bought an Das Boot (beer boot))

Here is an diffrent type of crispbread. I can’t explain how it taste, but diffrently. It is from Norrland. They bakes the bread that you use to surströmming.
The company is called Polarbröd AB
(Sadly that the main bakery burned down last year. They had recently renovated and build it out. A whole village lost most their jobs that day)

The most known bread from them

There where some special rules when you drink a beer boot.

In germany we do it in the following way:

You sit mostly in a round with some people. When the boot comes to you. You have to take a deep sip.
If the beer bubbles because you held your boot incorrectly while drinking, you have to pay for the next boot.
If you drink it empty without stopping, then your successor, who would be the next to get the glass, has to pay for the next boot

Is this bread named polkaka ?

To surströmming? No, that is tunnbröd (flat bread) (apparently there are two diffrent ones, but let’s go with Abisko)

Polarkaka is like Polarbröd (but bigger and a bit thicker. They looks like another company’s bread named Hönö-kaka (made by Pågen))

It´s not the same thing, and it´s not from my country.

I absolutely love them, the taste is light and unique, good with food or good just by eating them alone with nothing on top.

I’m going to write that down. The first thing I did was to try it out (with coca cola). It did go as expected :grimacing:

You can have a lot of fun when you do this with some of your friends.

One Tip hold the foot of the boot horizontal while you drink it, then it didn’t bubble.

You have to stand much beer in a short time. We older guys (I’m sixty) drink a little slower.

But one thing we do when we give the boot to the next one. We give the glass a little slap with the backside of our fingers. We call that “Abklatschen” When you forget this when you pass the glass to the next one You have to pay the next boot! :smiley: So have fun

In Denmark we have a saying based on statistics from the insurance companies: “Most accidents happen in the kitchen … and the husband eat them” :smile:

When I started to cook as a teenager it was out of sheer interest. I took a cookbook and browsed through it, and whenever I found something that looked good and affordable, I made it. Sometimes I succeeded and sometimes it ended up in tears. But I (and usually also my polite family) always ate it.

So @Mr_A1992 is right, just get going and don’t mind the occasional failure if you try to make a soufflé. Btw when I from an early age showed interest in cooking, it was mostly regarded as a woman’s job. But I fiercely demanded equal rights and eventually I won this battle of the sexes. Though job because women always tried to patronise men that enjoyed cooking. And sometimes when we have foreigners as guests, especially from Asia, the men find it curious or even ridiculous that I (and not my wife) do the cooking (usually when asked they don’t even know how to boil an egg). Then I tell them that only a sissy would be depended on a woman to make his food. A real man can take care of himself and his family in every regard.

P.s. my wife is a really good cook too :yum::+1:
