Swedish cuisine tends to be hearty, practical and sustaining. Only recently have Swedish restaurateurs attempted to update it with a more modern gourmet approach. The cuisine differs rather a lot regionally, but could be considered traditionally simple in general. In the south the supply of fresh vegetables is better. In Sweden many local, traditional meals are eaten, in the north some with their roots in the Sami people, some not, including reindeer, and other game. Many traditional dishes employ simple, contrasting flavours; such as the traditional dish of hearty meatballs & gravy with tarty, pungent cranberry-sauce. Swedish cuisine can be distinguished from that of its neighbours in Norway & Finland, with the dishes often being more sweetened.
