This is the oldest photo on my phone, taken on August 9, 2024, on the patio of my parents’ house in Mörbylånga, a charming village on the Swedish island of Öland 🌾🏡. It features a plate of Öländska kroppkakor, a traditional Swedish dish that immediately transports me to childhood memories and cozy family meals.
Kroppkakor are Swedish potato dumplings, often stuffed with onion and spiced soy protein (traditionally pork) and served with lingonberry jam, melted butter, and cream 🥔🧈🍓. On Öland, this dish is a staple, and as seen in the photo, it's served in the classic way. However, in my case, everything on the plate is vegan – the dumplings, the butter, and the cream, making it a perfect mix of tradition and plant-based innovation.
The setting captures a warm late summer afternoon, with golden sunlight filtering through the trees, casting soft shadows on the wooden patio table 🌞. The rustic Swedish countryside frames the scene in the background, making the simple yet hearty meal even more inviting.
Looking at this picture now, I can almost smell the rich aroma of the dumplings and feel the comfort of being home. This dish is more than just food—it’s a tradition, a memory, and a taste of nostalgia. Sometimes, a single bite can tell a whole story.
