Blodpalt

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Blodpalt is an old-fashioned Swedish dish still fairly common in northern Sweden. The dish's history goes back to a time when the peasants carefully made use of all parts of the animals to get enough food.

Blodpalt is essentially pitepalt - similar to kroppkakor - a kind of potato dumplings, although in blodpalt, blood is also added. This made the dish a nutritious meal often eaten during the dark part of the year.

Blodpalt is sometimes eaten together with bonemarrow (usually from Reindeer) and is then referred to as "lappkok"
