Jordgubbar

Jordgubbar = Strawberries

Just 2 hours drive out from Göteborg city we would be found picking the much loved jordgubbe. In the asian squat position for only a short while is enough to give you a decent workout.

The Swedes love their Strawberries as it reminds them of the best months of the year. Just mention  'Jordgubbar' to any swede and you immediately place pictures of sunshine, swimming in lakes, singing and dancing around maypoles...maybe.

Below is a picture of the amount of strawberries we managed to pick. That's 4 kg's for one box; we picked 2 boxes in total. Little sick of them now...




In Sweden you can also find a different type of Strawberries called 'Smultron'. Translated to Wild Strawberry, European Strawberry or Alpine Strawberry. I haven't seen these in Aus before... have you? They are pictured below doused in creme and sugar- a Swedish favorite.
