Denmark and Sweden: Potatoes, Pancakes and Pudding With a SurpriseThe traditional Danish Christmas Eve menu includes roast duck or roast pork with a garnish of hot pickled red cabbage, white boiled potatoes, and potatoes browned in butter and sugar served with gravy on the side.A beloved Danish December treat is aebleskiver (apple slices), a dish of small pancake puffs served with icing sugar and marmalade on the side. Traditionally, a slice of apple was put into each pancake before baking, hence the name. Dessert is risalamande, a cold rice pudding served in a large bowl with slices of almonds, vanilla and hot cherry sauce. A single whole almond is hidden somewhere inside, and the person who finds it gets a special gift.Across the bridge, the Swedes also like to have a hearty Christmas dinner of meatballs, pickled herring, Västerbotten cheese, potatoes, a kind of cracker called knäckebröd, beet root salad and sausage.Get a recipe for Danish aebleskiver

Love an oval dining table, especially in tight, rectangular rooms. This is a lot of color of rite space, but it is so cheery and playful!
