A week or so ago, a friend told me that he had heard that Finns and Swedes eat a heart-healthy diet of five meals a day. "Is that true?" he asked. He wants to adhere to a heart-healthy lifestyle and is convinced you have all the answers! So, I decided to ask you my Finnish and Swedish ''cousins." On my trips to both countries, I remember eating a good breakfast of rye bread, assorted cold meats, cheese, tomatoes and cucumbers - plus strong dark coffee. (We actually had coffee 5-6 times a day!) But, I can't remember what we had for lunch or dinner on any given day. So, a question for you: What is a typical menu for breakfast, lunch and dinner? And, do present-day Scandinavians still adhere to morning and afternoon coffeetime as my family does?
Thanks!
