An average smörgåsbord may, for instance, contain a number of herring dishes (sweet-pickled herring, pickled herring with onions, mustard, dill, etc.), Swedish meatballs, salmon, pies, salads, 'Jansson´s temptation' (sliced herring, potatoes and onions baked in cream), eggs, bread, boiled and fried potatoes and so on.

 Swedish Book Review : Food, glorious Food!
Swedish cuisine has no shortage of provincial and regional specialities, from southern Sweden’s spettekaka, a pyramid-shaped dry egg-cake baked on a spit, to Norrland’s surströmming, tinned fermented Baltic herring with a disgusting, pungent smell, and various kinds of reindeer meat.
Swedish cuisine remains fairly unknown and obscure, at least in the United Kingdom, although concepts like smörgåsbord and gravad lax have crept surreptitiously into cookery jargon.
When first introduced into Sweden, semlor were filled with almond paste and boiled in milk before being served; in the nineteenth century the boiling was dropped and people started to eat them served with hot milk, sugar and cinnamon.

 Theses from Stockholm University: 535 - I köttbullslandet
Chapters 6 and 7 specifically examine the construction of swedishness in the culinary field by focusing on the construction of national culinary icons such as the Smörgåsbord and Husmanskost and also on the evolution of the ideas of a distinct Swedish palate and a Swedish national cuisine.
The purpose of this doctorate thesis is to investigate the historical discursive construction of swedishness and foreignness in the Swedish culinary field, primarily during the period of 1900-1970, and to relate the changes in the articulation of these concepts to the overarching ideological shifts during this time-period.
Here various trends are traced in the construction of individual foreign cuisines, both in relation to each other and to the concept of culinary swedishness.
