Clogs are a well-liked item in Scandinavia; they are a type of footwear that was traditionally made from wood. These have been made more suitable for daily use and are now often manufactured from rubber, but wood is still available. It is also possible to have personalised clogs, painted with patterns or a particular colour. The cold weather often covers this area particularly in winter; therefore wool sweaters are also a in style product and are of the finest quality.
Scandinavia is a sea-faring nation and as you would expect fish is the order of the day. It is also often the cheapest item on a menu in comparison with meat which can be expensive. However, the meat on offer can vary from dear to elk to bear, for those wanting to be adventurous. Scandinavian food for the most part does stick to basics including beets, cucumber and potato which are a common part of the diet. Smoked apples are also very popular. Travellers may find that food in this area is particularly salty; it is added to most food even including sweets!
If travelling to this region in the winter months, it is advisable to pack warm clothing including thick jackets, gloves and hats.
