Variants in Other Countries
In December and during the holiday season, a similar type of bread called vörtbröd (literally wort bread) is very popular in Sweden. The dough's water is replaced by beer wort adding sweetness and flavor to the bread. Several different spices and fruits commonly associated with Christmas are also added, e.g. cloves, cinnamon, ginger, cardamom and raisins. It is often the bread of choice in the sop called dopp i grytan (dip in the pot) popularly eaten on Christmas Eve.

Famous quotes containing the words variants and/or countries:
“Nationalist pride, like other variants of pride, can be a substitute for self-respect.”
—Eric Hoffer (1902–1983)
“Our democracy, our culture, our whole way of life is a spectacular triumph of the blah. Why not have a political convention without politics to nominate a leader who’s out in front of nobody?... Maybe our national mindlessness is the very thing that keeps us from turning into one of those smelly European countries full of pseudo-reds and crypto-fascists and greens who dress like forest elves.”
—P.J. (Patrick Jake)
