Yup.  Thanks.
I've got the general idea of what they ate.  And with some creativity,
some trial and error, and a whole lot of prayer, I can come up with
something like what I think they would eat.  However, if I wanted to
offer a documented recipe to go along with a dish, I wouldn't be able to
do so at this point.
For my upcoming event, we're going to do recipes from Een lijten
kockebook and just call it good.

My current plan of action:  Just sucking it up and learning swedish.  And
then spending wads of money importing books.

I'll try that, thanks.

there are.  Ärter med Fläsk is a good example.  although they usually add
potato now.

Thanks for the help!
