Today we went on a journey to buy supplies for a pre-christmas Swedish get together we’re planning (you’re not invited). The main ingredient, the jewel in the crown was Glögg, a mulled wine style drink that not only gets you drunk, but warms the cockles of your heart as well. We rode out bikes. We got wet. We headed for the Scandinavian Kitchen on Great Titchfield Street, a vibrant and friendly cafe that doubles as a grocery shop for both locals and homesick Scandinavians.
The pros … They played Metallica renditions of christmas songs and I write this ripped to the tits on Glögg.
The cons… the staff wore t-shirts that read ‘Herring a Good Day?’
