What is a smörgåsbord?
Similar to what might more commonly be called a buffet, a smörgåsbord is a type of Swedish originating, Scandinavian style of meal. There will be multiple dishes of varying styles, hot and cold and of different cuisines.
The word smörgås can also mean open sandwich, so don’t be surprised to find popular sandwich fillings and types of bread at your smörgåsbord!
Is a smörgåsbord vegan?
As a smörgåsbord is a style of presenting food and dining, it’s not such a clear answer. Smörgåsbords can indeed be fully plant-based, comprising of some vegan-friendly dishes or not suitable at all.
If you’re attending a smörgåsbord or thinking of having one yourself it’s a great idea to clearly label individual dishes as you might at any other buffet, so everyone knows what they’re tucking in to.
