Fikabreak 3/3

The word fika emerged some 100 years ago. It's back slang for "kaffi", which is how kaffe (coffee, but you got that) is pronounced in many Swedish dialects. Having originally meant just "coffee", it has expanded to include any edibles you take with your coffe -- but most of all the bonding, the time to breathe. I'd say fika is a state of mind.

For those of you who are not already familiar with the concept of fika: it's an important slice of the Swedish cultural pie. No day is complete, or even right, without at least one fika. Arguably, the mid-morning one is the most essential of them all.)

27 Oktober 2013. Dom här två, Lucas och Oscar, har varit med på nästan alla mina resor. Nu är de vuxna, drar iväg på egna äventyr. Här har vi paus/fika i Riga. Roligaste äventyret var London 2015. Inte Harry Potter museumet utan korven vi köpte på tågstationen och pastan på den Italienska restaurangen vid hotellet. #photography #bnw #streetphotography #kids #swedishfika #riga #latvia

With an 3 cups per person daily, Sweden ranks 7th in the world for coffee consumption. A Swede's worst nightmare might be that coffee runs out (who can't relate to this?). That might actually happen, coffee farmers are already harmed by climate change. But there are strategies that Sweden could use to adapt to this changing world.

The Future of the Swedish Fika: an analysis through the lenses of coffee

My  first contact with Sweden happened in 2015: I was an exchange student for a  semester in Gothenburg and I was staying with a family in the suburbs of the city. That was really a great…
