Hejhej! Last Wednesday, I attended my first ever Swedish crayfish party! This is a common tradition for Swedes usually between August and late September. Crayfish is served whole and cold with dill juice over the top of it. Then there's some other food (we had Swedish potato/ham/cheese pie-that I made!- and deviled eggs, warm bread, salad, and of course, shots of snaps. Snaps is the official crayfish party drink and during the party everyone sings songs about snaps before taking a shot of it. It's also common to have crayfish party hats and bibs. (we just had that hats) So a few of our Swedish friends prepared the crayfish and salad and two other Americans and myself brought the rest. It was my first time making a Swedish pie from scratch and I was pretty nervous about how it would turn out. I think we were all a little surprised when the pies turned out really well! I posted a couple pics- one of a plate of ready to eat crayfish, the other of my ham and cheese pie. :) Also, I have a short video of a few Swedish friends trying to teach everyone some snaps songs.
