Another traditional swedish delicacy some of you may have heard of, the pizza. In it's very essence it is a flat, disc shaped bread, topped with various ingredients such as swedish Mozzarella, swedish grown olives and tomato sauce.

How do we eat it, you ask? Well, we cut it into triangular pieces as you would with a cake and eat it from the inside out.

We also have beer (Grolsch):

The bottle is called 'beugel' because you can close it again after opening and it makes a nice 'pop' sound when you open it

Yeah, man, Chi-town represent!

I grew up in the south suburbs and went to school in Michigan. Every time I brought someone back from Michigan we would see the top of the ~~Willis~~ Sears tower then go across the street to Giordano's! I personally like Beggar's a lot better since I grew up on it, but if I'm in the mood for deep dish this is the way to go!

Ahem!

Ok, now that I live in Baton Rouge, Louisiana the food has changed a lot. I've been introduced to the wonders of jambalaya and poboys!

Let's also not forget Louisiana's state doughnut - the beignet

Lots of other seafood treats as well. Since I grew up in Chicago I tend to avoid seafood like it's the plague, but it's ok because even if it's seafood the people here will deep-fry it!

Indeed, id say Taco is something we eat alot of and enjoy, but its by no means swedish food xD

You really missed the point here. They way we eat tacos in Sweden is a very Swedish phenomenon. It's popular to eat tacos on fridays "fredagsmys" and more often than not people use the exact same products and ingredients. I once made a more authentic style of tacos for my girlfriend's family and they were basically shocked by how different their perception of the dish was to a more authentic style.

Even though pizza is an Italian food, I don't think many people would argue that Americans have, in a way, made it their own. Just like we do in Sweden with kebabs, pizzas, tacos etc.

Unfortunately we have this shitty attitude in Sweden. We are completely unable to appreciate anything about or country and for some reason it has become a trend to constantly badmouth everything we have.
