I, like a few other people apparently, liked the ideas in the book but was really turned off by the clunky dialogue. Not sure if it was a translation thing, a culture thing or a stylistic choice.

As a result I’ll probably check it out because I didn’t love the book so much I’d be worried they’ll commit sacrilege with the TV show :)

Was recently in Sweden. A swede recommended the combo of cheese and English marmalade on toast.

Sounds deeply weird but it’s surprisingly nice. Can confirm it also works as a crumpet topping.
