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)
“In the life of the human spirit, words are action, much more so than many of us may realize who live in countries where freedom of expression is taken for granted. The leaders of totalitarian nations understand this very well. The proof is that words are precisely the action for which dissidents in those countries are being persecuted.”
—Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)
