Google translate and this weeks lunchmenu!

Hello!
It's Sunday and I'm at Lingon to meet one of Uppsala's talented musicians. It's time to make the first bookings fore this summer's live gigs at restaurant Lingon!

Chef Mikael is cooking for you this week and I guess no one will be disappointed!

Earlier today I was putting up the lunch menu on our website, and since we also have an English version it's needed to translate the menu. Some typical Swedish dishes are very difficult to translate into English. For example "skomakarlåda" witch actually means "shomaker box" but in fact is a steak with mashed potatoes and a nice sauce...

Other times a good translation may have been forgotten, and than it's sometimes great to use google translate to find the right word. Today I was gonna translate the Swedish dish "pyttipanna", quite similar to your hash. It's actually three words, but in Sweden we like to put words together, which is very rare in English. The three words in pyttipanna is pytt in the meaning of mix, i=in, and panna in the meaning of frying-pan. But in Swedish it's very common that a word has more than one meaning so the suggestion I got from google translate was "tiny in the forehead", hilarious!

So, if I now have made you curious about how traditional Swedish cuisine taste like, you will just have to come here and try it out...

Warm welcome!
