More Swedish food

Paul from Another Food Blog continues to write about his food experiences in Göteborg.

The food was exquisite, and casually thrown together in the presence of the guests. The first course was a salmon and shrimp (the same as prawn here, although fresh and shelled by myself) bisque, slightly spicy, with tomatoes and celery. The wine served was a particularly nice Brown Brothers Cabernet Merlot from 2003. It was extremely plumy and full bodied, and had been kept in the cellar for precisely the right amount of time (3 years).

Various cheeses and bread were served afterwards, along with a nice Sauternes from 2001. The wine was sweet, of course, and refreshingly not chilled, my preferred temperature for sweet wines.

Sounds like very good meal, and probably a bit Swedish as well. We love our salmon and shrimps in all imaginable ways.
