The pea soup is made from a mix of dry pea, slow cooked pork, corn, and a few other ingredients. It is served with side dish such as ham, mustard, and cheese. Pea soup cannot be eaten without Swedish Punsch. It is a perfect combination! The meal was complete with a Swedish Pancakes Buffet with Strawberry Jam.
The dinner was held in a friendly atmosphere where all could speak Swedish among each other.
“Pea soup is the traditional meal in Sweden that is usually served on Thursday. It is an easy to cook meal and low cost so it is provided in the military as well. You can find it in Swedish restaurant on most Thursday’s special menu,” explained Wolf H. von Waldegg, one of the colourful long time Swedish residents in Thailand.
