Budget: £

This bread and gingerbread play an important role in the Swedish Christmas period. The bread is called Vörtbröd and it has a great smell just like the Glogg, it usually served with Christmas ham and some mustard on top, or just some butter on top will do just fine. The gingerbread, Pepparkakor, is everywhere during Christmas, you can find them in shops or people handing it out in some Christmas market or on the street.
