We always have Swedish food for Christmas Eve dinner. Here is this year's homemade picked herring. Traditionally the meal starts with a small plate of this fish eaten with knackebrod, which is a rye-crisp type of cracker. Then, using a fresh plate, help yourself to the meatballs, ham, boiled potatoes, gravlax, cheeses, pickled red cabbage and green salad. Often it takes a few visits to the table to try everything. Smorgasbord is wonderful and allows everyone to please themselves (it's OK to pass up the pickled herring but hopefully everyone will have at least a little taste).
