The Archipelago has always been of inspiration for many Poets, Artists and Writers...
A Swedish Barn........Red,White and Green....
I made a visit to the cold country...I stocked up on, Crabs, Lobster, Crawfish, Swedish Sea & Game delicacies... and continued my journey.....
I have spent months in the snow zone during my traveling years in the Arctic's as well as the northern archipelagos ...
Delicious dinners enjoyed under the Midnight sun or in the darkness of cold winters in front of the fire ...culinary experiences of exotic and maybe not so exotic foods...
Seal, Whale, Elk, Boar, Reindeer, Deer, Horse (Sure, smoked is fantastic or horse tartar),Pheasant, Quail, Duck, Flounder, Crawfish, and Rotten fish "Surstromming" (Think about it -just the name...interesting).
This duck could have been my dinner but he was very polite and asked for a snack......(Funny Language those Swedes have ...)
As you can imagine we stayed in for a while ...a couple of days by the Fireplace of my old Eccentric friend's house swapping stories from near and far around the Globe... enjoying...life under simple conditions...
Swedish Whisky - Mackmyra
I did have a few glasses of the Swedish Whisky - Mackmyra.....after being out in the cold...
