Porridge spoon with decorations, carved from cherry wood.

The first porridge spoon in this Sunday series of six spoons posted with porridge rhymes quoted from my Swedish porridge bowl that I think is from the 1920s.

This Sunday my Swedish porridge bowl reads:

Det är i sin ordning
Att jag såsom skåning
Med gröt skall fylla min mellersta våning!

(English translation is very difficult)

"It is in order
That I, as a Skåne
Shall fill my middle floor with porridge!"
I guess the "middle floor" is the belly 😉

@canyakker Hehe this was a very good attempt, I gave up :) Yes middle floor as in belly and Skåning is a person living the southern most part of Sweden.

@emilgoode Have been to Skåne (and further north to Dalarna) many times. Long ago. Beautiful places.
