Smoked keepS
Smoking used to be a way of preserving food, just like salting
was for fish and meat. Yes, some even claim that smoking
is an older way of preserving meat and fish than salting.
Today, smoking is more about enhancing the taste
experience. At Nynäs Rökeri, you will find everything
from smoked eel to smoked Baltic herring. Two other
favourites are smoked prawns and locally caught whitefish
smoked here – just perfect for a picnic on the
quay.
TradiTional cake
Sorunda has big farms with a thousand years of history
and the area abounds with ancient remains, not
least from the Viking Age (approx 792 to 1100, ie,
late Iron Age). The Sorunda cake is still baked here to
this day. The cake recipe is so secret that an 00 agent
would have to take the life of anyone he told. Out of
consideration for our readers, we will not disclose any
m a g a s i n

ingredients other than butter and sugar, but we can disclose
that it tastes like no other cake and that your best
chance of a taste is at Sorunda Hembygdsförening. The
cake is also available to buy at Ösmo Plantshop, Växtstigen
1, by Ösmo junction.
Brewed By ÅngBryggerieT
The editorial staff fell for several of the dozen or so different
beers produced by Nynäshamns Ångbryggeri, but
as the lager lovers we are, our first recommendation is
Landsort Lager. It is a light Swedish lager with balanced
sweetness and medium bitterness – and if you taste it
very carefully you may, like Sweden’s most read beer
expert Göran Winberg, discover tones with hints of
freshly baked buns and summer apples. Landsort Lager
and many other beers from Ångbryggeriet are available
from Systembolaget*.
* Systembolaget is the Swedish Alcohol Retail Monopoly and is
open daily except Sundays.
