@Zucca: (I'm a barbarian and I have fruit in my panna cotta.)
As long is not pineapple on pizza, I can forgive you.
I've had that. It's not the worst thing people put on pizza. The Swedish pizza culture is driven by people from the Balkans; first it was the Italians who took it to Sweden, but then the Greek and after them the Jugoslavians (as it were, back then) took over. Today, a Swedish pizzeria is operated by immigrants, almost never from Italy, and they serve Kebab, hamburgers, and pizzas. These three kinds of food have cross-bred, and a very common one is the "kebab pizza". Personally, I rate that below pineapple pizza.
To their credit, most pizzerias today also have a more expensive set of slightly more italian-looking pizzas on the menu. They are more like what you get in Italy, but of course rarely as good. A select few pizzerias are the real deal; they often have a wood-fired oven built by masons from Napoli, and they churn out thin, crusty pizzas with only the right stuff on.
But, to summarize, there is a distinct swedish pizza style, that has mostly the name common with what's being served in Italy.
And, the most busy day at the pizzerias in Sweden is New Years day. The tradition is that you fix hangover by ordering pizza and watching Ivanhoe on TV. Some swedish TV channel (it varies which) has transmitted Ivanhoe every New Years day since the early 90s.
There were leftovers of the
Panna Cotta (I made 25 portions, for a party with 10 and went over to my parents with two portions to make sure they had a good evening) and there is Recioto left. Also, a rather large portion of one of the wine bottles for dinner (again, Drago from east of Verona) was spared.
I think we can have our home-made pizzas in style. (my recipe currently is tomato sauce, fennel salami, feta cheese, thinly sliced onion and then grated mozarella on top.
