fresh vegetables other than those that would have been available in the Winter months such as
turnips (including rutabaga which is native to Sweden,
and known in British English as "swede"), potato, cabbage preserved as sauerkraut, or a jam
made from lingonberry (a small flowering plant with edible red berries). On the other hand, due to
the country's long coastline and seafaring traditions, fish forms an important part of the Swedish diet.

However, nowadays it is increasingly common to have the main meal at lunch time and a lighter dinner. Additionally, snacks (Swedish: mellanmål), particularly sandwiches and fruit are popular between meals. Some popular Swedish dishes include:
