A taste of Lund, Sweden

by Jeanne Horak on April 16, 2014 8 Comments in Sweden

LundStation © J Horak-Druiff 2014

 

“Wow”, said Nick as we surveyed the scene outside the train station, “they sure like their bicycles!”.  And he was not exaggerating:  the kind of space you normally see devoted to cars is the amount of parking space dedicated to bicycles in Lund, a university town near Malmö in southern Sweden.  Like all the best university towns, it is compact – you can walk right across town in about fifteen minutes – and therefore ideal for cycling.  In fact, nearly half of Lund’s 83,000 residents use a bicycle for their daily commute.  But there is a lot more to see in Lund than bicycles and we were there to spend an afternoon exploring the town on foot, under the expert guidance of Sandra Andersson from the Lund Tourism office.

As we walked, Sandra told us a little about the history of the town.  It is thought that Lund, in the Swedish county of  Skåne (Scania), was founded by the Viking Sweyn Forkbeard in about 990 AD when Skåne still belonged to Denmark. In 1658, the  Scanian lands were ceded by Denmark to Sweden by the Treaty of Roskilde, but it is still easy to get to Denmark as Copenhagen is just a short ride across the impressive Öresund Bridge (well 8km of bridge and 4 km of undersea tunnel).  But we weren’t there to talk about history – we were there to sample some food!  Our first stop on this brief foodie tour was the Saluhallen, Lund’s market halls on Mårtenstorget opened in 1909 to replace the open-air meat and fish market on the main town square.  It was originally a structure made of slender iron pillars consisting of a main hall and 2 side halls for cheese and fish,  but was renovated in the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s and 1980s when space was added for dining venues in addition to the market stalls.  By far the most famous stall in the market is Holmgrens & Company, sole manufacturers of the famous lundaknake, a pungent type of pork and beef knackwurst unique to the town.  Sandra led us to the stall which was a carnivore’s dream – a display of every kind of smoked and cured meat you could wish for, from the more routine salamis, Prosciutto and coppa, to things like smoked reindeer – and of course a variety of sausages.  But we had eyes only for the lundknake, bought for about 11 SEK and served wrapped in a plain paper napkin to catch any juices.  Biting into the sausage reveals why it is called “knake” as it makes a distinct snapping sound when you bite through the skin.  Inside is a juicy, smoky, richly flavoured meat filling that reminded me of the so-called Russian sausages I used to eat in South Africa as a child.  It’s a sausage any city deserves t be proud of.

Having whet our appetite with a lundknake our next stop was the Grand Deli a smart new deli attached to the rather fab-looking Grand Hotel. We step through the door into a handsome high-ceilinged room lit by a chandelier where the walls were lined with shelves of beautifully back-lit bottles of oil and vinegar.  The centre island contained gorgeous fresh produce and carefully selected herbs and snacks (the berry fruit leather strips were a particular favourite of mine).  At the back of the room there is also an area lined with gleaming white beveled tiles like an old butcher shop where cold deli items such as antipasti and an excellent selection of cured meats is sold.  But as the charming owner explained to us as we sampled slices of excellent Italian salami, the focus of the deli is really their excellent daily selection prepared meals which have gone down a storm with locals.  Looking at the quality of the food on offer I could not think of anything much more appealing than warming up one of their preservative-free meals for a lazy night at home.  Before we left, the owner also introduced us to a particularly Scanian delicacy: spettekaka.  This towering conical cake is made from a mixture of eggs, potato starch flour and sugar which is rolled in strips s onto a skewer being slowly rotated over a fire or other heat source. The end result is a cream-coloured conical structure with a hollow core than looks a lot like the drip-castles I used to build from wet sand at the beach as a child, and has a very dry consistency rather like a more substantial meringue. These cakes can range in size from a few centimetres to several feet  – the ones we saw were probably about 25cm tall and sadly we did not get to try one. But whwat a good reason to go back to Scania!

After all the savoury deliciousness it was time for something sweet and so we wandered over to Lilla Fiskaregatan to visit Ahlgrens Konfektyr, the sweet shop of my childhood dreams.  Every inch of the cosy store is packed with sweets and chocolates of every possible description – and there is even a friendly chocolate expert behind the counter in the form of  Patrik Langer.  Patrik told us that the store started its life as AJ Ahlgren Fruit and Confectionery sometime in the early 1900s.  Gradually the owners found that the business of chocolate and confectionery is more lucrative than fresh produce and they gave themselves over to confectionery entirely.  Patrik himself was a bartender who was looking for a change of scenery and bought the Ahlgrens business in 1994.  The learning curve was steep but rewarding and today, Patrik and business partner Stefan do a roaring trade in beautifully packed old fashioned candies, liquorice, marzipan and nougat – but the backbone of their business remains self-made pralines and truffles.  We spent a while in this treasure trove, sampling single plantation dark chocolates and all manner of decadent truffles, and enjoying Patrik’s enthusiastic company.

After all this nibbling, Nick and I both felt a little stroll would be in order and so Sandra took us on a quick tour of the town before we had to head back to Malmo.  First stop was Lund’s most prominent building, the 12th-century Lund Cathedral, or Domkyrkan.  Its two graceful 60m tall Romanesque towers are visible from most paces in town.  Extensively renovated in the 19th century, the cathedral’s simple brick interior is also home to an impressive  astronomical clock  over 6m tall which is decorated with carved religious characters and charts the position of the sun moon and other celestial bodies.  From there we left the fairly modern shopping areas where we had been grazing and walked towards the eastern end of town where the original cobbled streets and 18th century wood frame homes are still very much in evidence.

Our final stop for the day was Lund University, home to 30,000 students. Established in 1666, Lund is one of Europe’s oldest universities, Sweden’s largest university, and one of Scandinavia’s largest institutions for education and research. It is consistently ranked among the world’s top 100 universities, but even to non-students its sprawling and leafy campus is worth a visit.  Paths shaded by ancient chestnut trees lead between elegant university built of red brick and stone, like the Kungshuset – the oldest university building with its crenelated towers, completed in 1584 and currently home to the Department of Philosophy.  The campus also houses one of the most charming large fountains I have seen in a while, where four large bronze bullfrogs shoot streams of water out of their mouths into a pond.  I was very tempted to launch into a rousing chorus of Paul McCartney’s “We all stand together” 🙂 And with that our visit was over and we were back on the train for a short journey back to Malmö where dinner at Bastard restaurant awaited us.

GETTING THERE

Lund is an easy daytrip from either Malmö or Copenhagen – trains run regularly from both cities to Lund. From Malmö central station, tickets can be purchased from the Skånetrafiken ticket machines.  If there are two or more people travelling together a Duo familj ticket offers the best value- it costs less than two adult fares and covers groups of up to five people travelling together, provided there are at least 2 adults in the group.

What better way to celebrate the day when the clocks go forward to British Summer Time than with  a glorious photo of St Paul's Cathedral shyly peeping out from a cloud of pink cherry blossoms against a perfect blue sky! 🌸🌞

London is awash in glorious blossoms at the moment, from Greenwich Park in the east to Kew Gardens in the west, and the fun part is trying to catch each type of tree just when the blossoms are at their best.

The cherry plums have been exploding into clouds of small white blossoms and sweet fragrance for a few weeks already; and the early flowering cherry trees, camellias and magnolias are coming into their own right now. Plus we still have the late-flowering cherries, rhododendrons and wisteria to look forward to!

Do you have a favourite Spring tree or park for blossoms in London? Let me know in the comments 🌺

"The essence of being human is that one does not s "The essence of being human is that one does not seek perfection" 

I wonder what the author if those words would have made of the age of Instagram? We are fed an endless stream of perfect images of perfect bodies and perfect lives. In the back of our minds we KNOW this is not reality, but still the subconscious yearning for this imaginary world of perfection persists. Humans are funny that way.

But so often in life, things fall short of the perfection we imagined - seemingly perfect relationships fail, cakes look nothing like the picture in the book, clothes that looked good on the internet look ridiculous on our bodies, the wrong turn we took meant we never got to our planned destination.

Falling short of perfection is part of life. The big question is how you deal with it. Do you throw your hands up in despair and berate yourself for failure? Or do you find the positives in the imperfect outcomes of your plans? 

This photo taken almost exactly 4 years ago was meant to be a "perfect" Instagram shot of me in my signature pose, on a perfect sunny day on snowy ski slopes. Instead, as @explorista snapped the photo, our ski instructor decided to throw handfuls of snow at me - but as it turns out, this "imperfect" shot turned out to be my favourite of the day 😍

Do you find joy in life's imperfections?
What's your favourite way to eat cauliflower? Up What's your favourite way to eat cauliflower? 

Up until about a week ago I would have said cauliflower cheese... but all that changed when I made this low-carb cauliflower steak Welsh rarebit... I first made cauliflower steaks years ago, before cauliflower started enjoying its 15 minutes of fame, as a main course for vegetarian friends. But it wasn't till last week when I wanted to make Welsh rarebit for St David's day and discovered I had no bread that it struck me that cauli steaks would make the perfect base for Welsh rarebit! It's totally indulgent - like pouring a beery cheese fondue over your cauliflower - and totally addictive. You can find the full recipe in the link in my profile,  or SAVE this post for basic instructions! Remember to tag me if you try it -I'd love to see 😊

* Slice two 1cm steaks vertically from the middle of a large cauliflower, season and fry in  butter and oil till browning slightly.

* Oven bake for 10 mins at 200C while you mix grated cheddar, melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, mustard and beer. (The Duvel Belgian ale works a charm, BTW!).

* Spread the cheese mix generously over the 2 steaks and pop under a medium grill until golden and bubbly

You're welcome 🤩
Dyed Gwyl Dewi Hapus - or happy St David's Day if Dyed Gwyl Dewi Hapus - or happy St David's Day if you don't speak Welsh 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

March 1 is the day on which the Welsh people celebrate their patron saint, St David, and one of their traditions is to wear a daffodil, the national flower of Wales. Here are five daffodil facts to impress your Welsh friends:

🌼 There's no difference between a daffodil and a narcissus. Daffodil (or jonquil) is simply the common name for members of the Narcissus genus, so all daffodils are narcissi.

🌼 There is only one species if daffodil that is native to the UK - Narcissus Pseudonarcissus, or wild daffodils. You can spot them by the fact that their outer 6 petals are a paler yellow than the central trumpet, and they are usually smaller than the showy, giant yellow commercially grown daffs. 

🌼 It's not entirely certain how the daffodil came to be the national flower of Wales - one theory is that they are one of the few flowers in bloom on 1 March. Another is that the daffodil is less... antisocial to wear than the other Welsh national symbol, the leek 🤣

🌼 Daffodils are the official 10th wedding anniversary flower.

🌼 Daffodils contain a poisonous sap - keep away from pets and if mixing daffodils in a vase with other flowers, let them stand in water separately for 24 hours first I case they affect the other flowers. 

Are daffodils your favourite Spring flower? Or do you prefer something else?
As a girl who lived more than half her life in the As a girl who lived more than half her life in the African sun, February and March are the hardest months for me to bear in the UK. All the excitement of Christmas and New Year has faded; the credit card bill has arrived; the sun is still setting before I finish work; and the snow that we all hoped for at Christmas finally arrives and disrupts everything. This is why, every year in Feb/March since I moved to the UK (other than the year I broke my femur a week before I was due to fly!), I decamp to South Africa for 2 weeks to visit my family and get my fix of vitamin D (and vitamin Sea!).

This week I should have been here - the Beacon Island hotel in Plettenberg Bay, which I have been visiting since I was about six years old. It is where I go to lift my spirits and clear my head. But for the last 2 years, Covid has meant that I have not been able to go home - or see my family. 

For the most part, although I miss travel, I am secretly quite liking taking a breather and being able to be home without FOMO for a while. But not being able to see my family has been incredibly hard, particularly as I have no family in this country.  And my blood boils at people bending the rules (a dentist appointment in Tenerife when you live in Manchester? Seriously??) to go on holiday while I have not seen my clinically vulnerable brother in two years. Covidiots.

But you can bet your bottom dollar that as soon as vaccinations are widely rolled out and international travel becomes practical again, I will be on a plane to South Africa so fast it will make your head spin.

Where will YOU head to first once we are able to travel again,  and why?

Ready for a wine tasting? 🍷 [Press trip] Back Ready for a wine tasting? 🍷

[Press trip] Back before Covid put our lives on hold, I spent a few days in the Languedoc-Rousillon wine region of France learning about (and tasting!) Pays d'Oc IGP wines. 

Want to learn more about the region's wines? Read on, swipe through the images (remember to  bookmark this post to refer back to later) - and click the live link in my bio for the full blog post! 

🍷 The Languedoc-Rousillon region is the largest wine producing region in the world, and produces about a third of all French wine. Pays d'Oc IGP is a classification region within Languedoc-Rousillon, with vineyards that take up over half the total vineyard area in the Languedoc-Rousillon region. Pays d'OC IGP wines account for about 20% of the total of all French wine produced.

🍷IGP stands for Indication Geographique Protegée, meaning it is a protected indication of origin and wines must be made only from approved grape varieties that must be grown entirely within the region's geographic boundaries.

🍷 Most French wines are named for their region (Bordeaux, Chablis, Champagne) but you won't see the name of the grape variety on the label. In response to consumer demand and the New World trend to label wines with grape varieties, rules were changed in Pays d'Oc in the late 1980s and Pays d'Oc wines now account for 92% of French varietal wines (e.g. labelled Chardonnay, Syrah, Viognier etc.).

🍷 There are 58 grape varieties that are allowed to be planted in the region but the Pays d'Oc IGP varietal wines to watch out for include Chardonnay, Rolle (another name for Vermentino) and Viognier among the whites; and Syrah, Mourvedre and Pinot Noir among the reds.

🍷 All wines labelled Pays d'Oc IGP are sampled and approved in a blind tasting by a panel of professionals, meaning the label is a guarantee of quality to the consumer. 

🍷 Producers that you should look out for include Gerard Bertrand, Domaine Gayda, Les Jamelles, Les Yeuses, Paul Mas and Domaine Aigues Belles.

New year's resolutions: waste of time or the way f New year's resolutions: waste of time or the way forward?

I have mentioned before that I don't really make new year's resolutions. There is always so much pressure to make them BIG lofty goals and this is essentially what dooms them to failure. Instead, for the past few years I have made a list of... affirmations? Mantras? I have yet come up with a word that does not make my toes curl 🤣

These are essentially reminders rather than goals - presets, if you like, for the year ahead. I keep them in a handwritten list next to my computer and when I don't know how to react to something or how to shake a mood, I read them and there is usually an answer in there somewhere. 

Given the bruising year last year was, and how 2021 has so far proven itself to be not much better, I really wanted to add something practical to this year's list to lift my spirits on days when I am down. And for that I borrowed shamelessly from the wonderful @gretchenrubin:

🌈  ACT THE WAY YOU WANT TO FEEL 🌈

And this photo is a reminder of how I want to feel on so, so many levels: hanging out with friends; dancing in the sunshine; wearing my favourite red dress; travelling (this was in Carouge, Switzerland); and surrounded by a rainbow of colour. I can't travel and I can't see friends, but I can dance in my kitchen, singing at the top of my voice wearing my brightest clothes. 

What strategies do you use to lift your spirits? I'd love to hear!

If you, like me, are mssing your Pret-a- Manger Bi If you, like me, are mssing your Pret-a- Manger Bircher muesli during lockdown, you will want to bookmark this post right now! 🔖

I have learnt a few things during lockdown. I have learnt that I am more comfortable spending long periods alone than I had ever imagined; that I suffer a lot more from FOMO (fear of missing out!) than I would like to admit; and that pre-Covid I spent rude sums of money on commuting and barista coffee...! 

I also learnt that although I miss travel and social events and meals out, it is often the smaller things that you miss most acutely - the freedom to call up a friend you haven't seen in a while and inviting them over. Hugging (or even seeing) my family. And grabbing a macchiato and a Pret Bircher muesli on the way to work. Don't ask me why, but it became a small obsession of mine to create a fakeaway Pret Bircher during lockdown - and I think I have succeeded! Here's how:

For 2 servings you will need:
100g rolled oats
200ml milk or water
1 Tbsp sunflower seeds
1 Tbsp pumpkin seeds 
1 Tbsp shelled pistachio nuts
1 Tbsp dried cranberries 
2 small apples
175g plain yoghurt
Honey
Pomegranate rails

Mix the oats, seeds, nuts and cranberries together then add the milk/water and a pinch of salt. Mix well, cover and refrigerate overnight. 

When ready to serve, grate the apples and mix them in with the oats and yoghurt (add a little extra milk to loosen if needed). Stir in honey to taste and serve topped with pomegranate arils and pistachios. Full recipe and more photos are available now on the blog - click the live link in my profile.

Did you try any fakeaway recipes over lockdown? Please let me know in the comments - I would love to hear about it!
