Swedish snack
My favorite way to embrace another culture is through the food. With that in mind, I prepared myself what was (to my mind) a very Swedish snack when I came home from work the other day. It started with a piece of whole-grain flatbread. The Swedes have a wide variety of bread-like products, many of which fall somewhere between cracker and bread. The one in the picture is made from rye flour and has a consistency somewhat akin to a thick, slightly stale, pita. I topped it with some butter and jam (lingonberry, of course).
And what better way to top off a very Swedish snack than with a piece of cheese and milk from a box.

You really can learn a lot about a place from its food. For example, visitors to Poultney, Vermont ought to check out Cafe 260 for a snack and caffeinated beverage. Hungry for comida Mexicana? Try Casa Dos Sesanta. However, the proprietors, while kind, will consign to oblivion all record of your stay.

You should also try the crepes at Bistro 260, although the proprietors are notoriously flaky and don't always acknowledge their visitors on their blog, either.
