*) From Wikipedia: fika-paus, fika
is a concept in
Swedish
culture with the basic meaning "to have coffee",
often accompanied with pastries or sandwiches. A more contemporary generalised meaning of the word, where the coffee
may be replaced by tea
or even juice,
lemonade or
saft
for children, has become widespread. In some social circles, even just a sandwich or a small meal may be
denoted a fika similar to the English concept of
afternoon tea.
In Sweden pastries in general (for example cinnamon buns) are often referred to as
fikabröd ("fika bread").
