Mix the bread crumbs, cream and water; set aside for 5 minutes. Work together the beef, pork, salt, allspice and onion. Gradually add the bread crumbs, then the egg. Blend well and fry a sample to test the seasoning. Shape into balls. Make large meatballs to be served for dinner or small meatballs for the smörgåsbord. Heat part of the margarine or butter in a skillet. Add 10 to 15 meatballs. Fry over moderate heat until the meatballs are beautifully brown and cooked through. Transfer to a serving dish and keep hot while frying the remaining meatballs. Serve with boiled potatoes, lingonberry preserve and a tossed salad.
Soak the herring in cold water for 10 to 12 hours, or follow the directions on the package. Drain them. Mix the sugar, vinegar and water in a separate bowl. Add the allspice, bay leaf and onion. Pour the dressing over the herring and refrigerate for 2 hours. Cut the herring in 1 cm- thick slices, cover with dressing and garnish with red onion rings and dill sprigs.
Variation: Instead of allspice, add 1 teaspoon whole cloves and 5 crushed white peppercorns to the dressing. Bring to a boil, let cool and pour over the herring reserving about ½ dl. Refrigerate for at least two hours. Slice the herring and place in serving dish. Add the remaining dressing and garnish with red onion rings, cloves and dill.
Malmö is the centre of Skåne, Sweden’s – and one of Europe´s – richest farming regions, with a boundless supply of first-class ingredients, including of course prime fresh fish and seafood from both the Baltic and the North Atlantic.
For classic Skåne delicacies – many of which tend to be very rich indeed, such as fried goose, smoked eel and egg cakes – there are countless highly recommendable traditional restaurants and inns, not only in Malmö but all across the Skåne countryside. In the past decade, the evolution in the contemporary gastronomic scene in Malmö – and also in many of the smaller neighbouring towns as well as in the countryside – has been intense and highly creative. Today Malmö has more restaurants of a high international standard, catering to every culinary preference, than can be named here. In general, the quality is high and the prices moderate, at least compared to Stockholm and other major European centres.
