about water
In Sweden you drink the tap water, we all do. In general there is no chlorine in the water. At our B&B we have our own well. It is drilled down in the rock to a depth of 90 meter (about 300 feet). It has been tested and proven well as drinking water. It contains a bit of fluoride, so kids younger than 6 months should not drink it, since they can get white spots on their teeth later when they grow up.
about lunch
In most “eating places” they serve something called “Dagens lunch” (Today’s lunch). Serving hours can vary a bit, but around 11 a.m. til 2 p.m. is common. A lunch costs about SEK 140 (about 14 USD).
about food quality
Swedish farming is among the most strictly regulated in the world. Antibiotics are only given to animals if they are ill, meaning livestock are kept healthy through high-quality food and good living conditions. As a result, Swedish meat and dairy products have extremely low antibiotic levels. In addition, all eggs are strictly screened for salmonella, (and there are very rare outbreaks of salmonella [1]), which means that you can buy eggs and eat them raw if you would like to do so.
about Swedish TV
We offer free public service channels—which are politically independent and editorially free from government control—as well as commercial channels. Most foreign movies and TV shows are broadcast in their original language (mainly English) with Swedish subtitles (some in Finnish also), so English speakers will easily find plenty to watch. You can also stream Swedish TV for free at svtplay.se.
