IKEA U.S. Stores Hosting Traditional Swedish Julbord Buffet
CONSHOHOCKEN, Pa. (PRWEB) November 16, 2015 -- IKEA invites the public to celebrate this holiday season with a traditional Swedish Julbord buffet in the restaurants of IKEA U.S. stores** on Friday, Dec. 11, 2015. The all-you-can-eat smörgåsbord will include several courses of Swedish holiday favorites such as holiday ham, smoked salmon, meatballs with lingonberries, and much more. Tickets are available for only $16.99 per person or $4.99 for kids 12 and under. IKEA FAMILY members’ tickets are $12.99 per person or $2.99 for kids 12 and under.
Julbord is a classic Christmas dinner in Scandinavian countries. The word “Julbord” is made up of two parts: “Jul,” meaning Yule (synonymous with Christmas) and “Bord,” meaning table. The traditional, three-course Swedish Julbord is a highlight of Swedish cuisine, consisting of local and family specialties. The spread typically begins with a variety of fish as the first course, cold sliced meats such as ham as the second course, and warm dishes such as Swedish meatballs as the third course.
“Food brings people together, so we are excited to provide a venue where our customers can enjoy a great meal with friends and family this holiday season,” says Patricia Meumann, IKEA Food Manager. “Plus, we always enjoy the opportunity to share our classic Swedish holiday traditions – like Julbord – with customers.”
