Locally the IKEA Julbord was $9.95 per person. We had a ball. Salmon 5 different ways, plus several other kinds of seafood. There was pate, ham, etc. They don't sell pigsfeet so no pigsfeet but I sure know what they are.

BTW, the WashDCMetropolitan area is remarkably devoid of anything like a smorgasbord, so IKEA is as close as it comes.

“Locally the IKEA Julbord was $9.95 per person.”

- Sounds like a true bargain.

IKEA is actually the largest exporter of Swedish food products of all companies in Sweden. Just perhaps, they’ll one day quit selling furniture and bring Absolut, sausages like those of the days of Pippi Longstocking and lingonberry jam to the World!

Hopefully, no one wants to turn pagan, but this is how Vikings and other brutes celebrates “Christmas”:
