Kebab Pizza!

When I lived in Sweden for a couple years I had my experience of the food their culture enjoys. Many times when others have the experience of traveling outside their home country they try many exotic things that we normally would not consider touching! But honestly in Sweden there wasn't any of that. They enjoy simple things, not too much and not too little. There was a tremendous amount of potatoes and meatballs that I ate. Meatballs everyday of the week! But one food that stood out from the everyday meat balls was the kebab pizza!

In many ways the kebab pizza is similar to the pizza that we have. It has a round crust, tomato sauce, and cheese. In difference it is thinner than the average american pizza! Though thinner it is not by any means less. Most places I went to served so much that even I had a struggle getting it all down! It was amazing!

Also they do not put on the sausages and pepperoni that we do. Instead they use Kebab! Kebab is a large chunk of meat that they put on a spit and have turned over a fire. Then they use a cutter to slice off thin amounts of meat that get stacked on your pizza. It is said that it is lamb meat, though I'm not sure if that is always the case. Also is is not from Sweden, nor Scandinavian, but more so the middle east. But Sweden has sure adopted it, and now it is a favorite dish throughout the country!

It was one of my favorite things to eat, so much that I made a point to go out a couple times a week to eat Kebab. Also it is not strictly kept to pizzas. Sometimes it's wrapped up like a burrito, and sometimes it's simply placed over fries, being drenched in signature kebab sauce! Anyone who visits one of the Nordic countries must try one of these!
