Crayfish Party at IKEA

A couple of weeks ago I went to a Crayfish Party at our local IKEA store.
My sister-in-law invited me to come along and eat some yummy Swedish food!
I wouldn't say no to that lol ☺
 Hubby was home with the kiddies while I was eating scrumptiously delicious crayfish  
and other Swedish delicacies.


Yummy crayfish


Looking good in traditional crayfish bib lol

Very festive!

  3. I love your blues. I never realized that crayfish were Swedish; I always thought that they were Louisiana!

    Happy Blue Monday, Pernilla!

  28. Hi Pernilla,
    I have never had crayfish but I'm guessing it tastes much like lobster. It's a nice bright post you have shared and you look like you're having a ball. Thanks for your visit and nice comment. Have a wonderful weekend.

    Blessings,
    Sandi

  37. Pernilla, Thanks for sharing this wonderful party on Simple & Sweet Fridays. When we went on vacation we caught lots of crayfish. We threw them back in the lake, wished we had the time to cook them. Thanks also for your wonderful comments on my blogs. Have a fun week!
