  18. When the Swedes (and not only) laugh at our herring under the "fur coat", we will look at their festive snack, where there is also a lot of stuff mixed in. It is very convenient to serve it on the table in the form of a cake, and you can prepare it in advance! They are not designed laconically, but closely, "in a heap". Even caviar can be "thrown" with spoons, but more often with egg slices and any greens. Swedes usually serve such a cake at the beginning of the celebration on a separate table with other snacks, the Swedes themselves sit down at another table and go back and forth for additives, hence the name "buffet".
