If you've ever been in Sweden, you know of our obsession with fika - sitting down together to eat sandwiches/baked goods while drinking tea/coffee. A work day simply isn't complete without it! It's part of the routine!
My workplace is no exception, and we're very fortunate! Our employer actually lets us buy the fika with company money. Fika has reached whole a new level at my office, advancing into full blown breakfast. Freshly baked brad, cheeses, salamis, and veggies are some of the standard features. Yum yum yum!

Hey, where's the cheese and salami? You ate it all already? :) Yes, YUM is the right phrase. Now I'm off to eat. ;)
ReplyDeleteYum ... even without the cheese, salami, veggies, this looks great (and very orderly again). Nice daily ritual :)
ReplyDeleteLooks good, I'm just booking a flight. (damn. they're all booked up).
ReplyDeleteLovely warm tones in this with a great hint at the whole content of the basket, without actually showing us all of it. Lovely setting!
ReplyDeleteI do love the beautiful variety here. Wonderfully taken, wonderfully lit... and I hope wonderfully eaten :)
ReplyDeleteSo your fika is evolving to the next level, not a coffeebreak+ but breakfast, lunch or afternoon tea.
ReplyDeleteVery well composed shot, inviting and good mood.
Aw, thank you everybody :D
ReplyDeleteSo Fika is the whole concept and not the actual foodstuff then?
ReplyDeleteYour shot makes it look very tasty either way.
Thank you :). Yes, fika is the concept, quite correct, you can basically have anything from hot sandwiches to cake, and its still fika.
DeleteBeautifully composed and taken (and educational). Sounds a nice boss, do the staff bake treats too?
ReplyDeleteThank you. Yes, our boss is the best! It's so important to have a really good one, and we definitely do.
DeleteIt's very rare that we bake ourselves - we usually pop by the bakery just around the corner. But it's been known to happen :)
