What is a Julbord?
A Julbord (direct translation: Christmas Table) is a Scandinavian tradition. It is a feast where traditional Christmas food and beverages are served. Traditionally, it’s served as a buffet where tables are laden with plenty of heavy food such as ham, sausages, salty fish, root vegetables, and so on. Today, the format is the same but the types of food vary and there’s more to choose from. However, some dishes remain such as pickled herring, Swedish meatballs and the ever-present cooked ham. The Julbord is often a lively event and are suitable for families and colleagues alike.
