Midsummer is a celebration about food, games, flowers, flower wreaths, children, maypoles, singing, dancing, drinking and enjoying good times with family and friends. There are certain components that need to be included in order for Midsummer to occur, such as the 30 minutes of heavy rain that just appears out of nowhere every single year. Some things are more important than others though and let's be honest what is a Scandinavian holiday without food? Food is at the very centre of Midsummer celebrations and we dare to say that without the Midsummer food there'd be no Midsummer.
