In a large Swedish city you will find restaurants with food from all around the world. In smaller towns there is less variation, but there are almost always at least one hot dog stand that serves hot dogs and hamburgers, a Chinese restaurant (which sometimes also serves other food from East Asia), a pizzeria (which sometimes also serves kebabs) and a café, serving coffee, tea, sandwiches and buns.
The sausage has been eaten in Sweden since Viking times, but for the other dishes, Sweden has other countries' cuisines to thank. Tea and coffee have been drunk in Sweden for more than three hundred years, but it is in the last 50 years that the globalization of people, ideas and goods has ensured that Sweden has become a culinary nation with plenty of variety and choice. And new dishes and trends keep emerging all the time. In recent years it has, e.g., become common with sushi in many cities. But, where do those who cook the food come from? How does the food taste, compared to how it tastes in their respective countries of origin? The same, better, worse, or just different?
