On Friday evening, experience a Scandinavian dinner of epic proportions, —a buffet-style meal that originated in Sweden.
The Little Scandinavian Dinner at the Snow College Greenwood Student Center, from 6-8 p.m., will feed a minimum of 300 hungry souls. The cost is $13 for adults and $7 for children 12 and under. (One time through)
Annette Taylor, director of Food Services, says chefs will follow authentic Scandinavian recipes, making a meal to remember.
Limpu bread offers a mysterious blend of seasonings and flours, while the hearts of romaine salad is built on the most tender, inner leaves of the lettuce.
Swedish tsimmes combine the tenderness of roasted veggies with baked-in apricot flavor—a combination sure to leave taste buds satisfied.
As for the entrees, the chefs leave nothing to chance. Just wait and see what they throw into the Danish pork tenderloin. If that doesn’t satisfy, there is always that traditional staple, the Swedish meatball.
When you’ve had you fill, take a piece of the Danish apple cake for the last empty corner of your stomach, if there’s one left. A feast like this may require a second stomach.
After dinner don’t forget to stick around for the FIREWORK SHOW!! They will be at the Ephraim Family Park, 300 North 200 East
