Drink

Never thought of having beer with breakfast

When I was in Sweden it was not unusual for breakfast to be herrings and lager.

That'll be expat breakfast. Certainly not on the menu among my Swedish family or friends. Nor even families of schoolfriends.

Yeah, hotels and the like, maybe it is what Swedes think that non-Swedes think that Swedes like?

I have never seen it at IKEA either so you must be right.

I do remember some having lättöl & folköl (Class I & II weak "beer") at what appeared to my sensibilities to be a little bit early in the day
- wouldn't have thought twice about if it weren't for the branding being pretty much identical to the stronger varieties

Hmm, maybe it's because my longest time in Sweden was as a child. And as a young adult, whose peers despised those ghastly mockeries of a drink and brewed their own - which meant drinking happened at parties.

Though no sign of it when I stayed at the (only) local hotel as recently as around the birth of Lemonfool, either ...
