The meal started with Goran's Swedish fish soup - apparently he had a bit of a search to find saffron in Tesco's...
In between each course we sang a little Swedish snaps song...
most of us had no idea what we were singing which I think was probably a good thing! Skol!!
Next came a chicken curry provided by Viv and then Rustan's Swedish meatballs, brown sauce and cranberries (Linden berries left in fridge in Sweden) delicious...
most of us were too full up by now to try Trish's Caribbean sweet potatoes, so time to clear the tables
(That's Mr T in the specs)
But we had to find room for dessert...
After the meal and greeting the new year, it was necessary to stand up for a while!!
A big thanks to John and Trish and for any in the gang there are more photos on flickr, click on the link on the side bar.
Here's to 2010

Hej, Jill! What a fantastic pictures!!!!!!! They are so sharp and bright, lovely! And what a evening! I think everyone had a great time! Credits to Trish and John! But it was my meatballs not Gorans, he had the amazing fishsoup! Have a great new year and regards to Tod! Cheers!

Happy new year Rustan!
Wow, what a feast. I feel full just thinking about it! A few weeks ago I went to IKEA in MK two days on the trot for their meatballs!
After reading your comment, I thought I would add the receipe for my (correctly assumed) hot and and spicy peppers. A good thought of yours there - yes, 2010 will definitely have to be hot and spicy!
Cheers!
