The Swedish North Star, continuously published since 1872. Volume 146 No. 18, December 15, 2018. Price per copy $3.50.
In the month of December we face a collection of important annual rituals and remarkable meals. Common to all of them, from glögg mingles to corporate holiday parties, is their contribution to a loaded Christmas atmosphere that can only be redeemed in the perhaps most unusual meal that Swedish food culture can boast, Julbordet, the traditional Christmas table.
