Scandinavian Eats

What would a blog from me be without some yummies in there as well. I arrived in Malmö at about 8:30 pm, so I went looking around for some cheap eats. Now, in Finland the best cheap eat for me was usually a kebab on rice, so that's what my mind was set on tonight. I went out the station and walked towards the old town (gamle stan), looking for yummy lamb on rice. Unfortunately I didn't find any, and it was superbly disconcerting that I could not find my kebab in Scandinavia.

So walking sadly back towards the station, I was readying my stomach to take the bad news that tonight would be a sandwich night. But 'huang tian bu fu you xin ren' I saw a kebab stand right outside the canal in front of the train station. Though they didn't have my favorite on rice, I got one wrapped in a pita with falafel. The lamb and onions and sauce dripped greedily through the oiled wax paper that kept most of the juices from getting all over my hand. The raw onion giving it just the right amound of sting that was immediately drowned out by the creamy white sauce that always comes with it. The falafel was a little bit dry, but nothing that some water couldn't help. Satisfied, I took a couple of shots from the picnic table I sat at and looked around a little before heading back to the train station to get some snacks and wait for my train to get in. Tonight the train will traverse the sea somehow, though exactly in what manner remains to be seen. Stay tuned for how the train will swim...

While I'm enjoying the visual language and exquisite storytelling, I'm missing the PICTURES! ;D
