Foodhabits in Örnsköldsvik

To find out how the Swedish people eat, we have investigated youths´ foodhabits, how a restaurant works and
some traditional dishes.

Diffrences between boys' and girls' foodhabits


To find out more about boys' and girls' foodhabits, a small investigation was done at our school. An enquiry were distributed (among both academically classes and classes who has a professional ame )with questions about when and what students eat during a day. After doing a compilation, interesting diffrences were to be found between boys' answers and girls' answers.
Almost all students eat breakfast. Sourmilk, cornflakes, fruit and sandwiches is most common. Milk, tea, cocoa and juice are the most frequent drinks in the morning. Girls drink almost twice as much tea as boys do instead boys drink more milk in the morning. Perhaps many girls replace milk with water.
More boys than girls have betweenmeals which often consists of fruit or milk and a sandwich. Girls more often eat a fruit while boys eat milk and sandwiches.
Tea, cocoa, fruit and sandwiches are ordinary drinks and snacks among Parkskolans students in the evening. In the evening boys eat more than girls and often more useless food.
By looking at the results of the investigation some unexspected differencies were found. At the bottom of the page is a graph presenting some facts about foodhabits in the evening.
A recently accomplished investigation in Sweden shows that students who are careless with what they eat during the day get a weaker health and they perform worse results in school than students with good foodhabits do. Five percent of the students eat neither breakfast nor lunch. This causes headache, pains in the stomach, tiredness and illness. By regular and good foodhabits you perform better results in school and it also makes people feel more healthy.


A restaurante in Örnsködsvik

We wanted to know how a restaurante works so we talked to Kristina, who handels at a small restaurante at the school Parkskolan. We wondered what sort of food they make . She told us that they cook all kinds of food: meat,fish soup and pasta - dishes and that they generally make plain food. The pasta is the most popular dish among the young people, says Kristina. We asked her about how many coustomers they have every day: -About 170-200 people. At lunch most of them are students and school-personnel. To lunch they serve two different "todays special " and each of them cost 40 swedish crowns. If you want to have dinner there you can choose between three main dishes:one meat-,one fish-and one vegetable dish.Together with the maindish they serve salad, bread and something to drink. -After dinner we serve coffee to our guests and there is an opportunity for them to buy dessert and biscuits if they want to.
Swedish dishes
In Sweden we have some traditional dishes fore just the country that we live in. Some examples are: Black pudding, Raw spiced salmon, Pea soup and pancakes. Black pudding is a pudding wich contains pig blood and a lot of spices. You frye the pudding in a frying pan and serve it with lingonberry or melted butter. Youth dosen´t like the pudding very much, but if you don´t think about what the pudding contains,.It´s quite good
We eat Raw spiced salmon at special occasions. Raw spiced salmon is ordinary salmon that you cut in fillet and put them in a plastic bag, together with pepper salt and sugar. When the plastic bag has been lying about one to two days, the salmon is ready to serve.
Pancakes is everyday food. Pancakes are made of milk, eggs, flour and salt.You mix everything together until it becomes a batter. After you tryed the batter in a frying pan, it´s ready to serve!
Pea soup is a nother typical Swedish dish. You can use either yellow or green peas in the soup. The soup contains tiny pieces of pork.
We also have many imported dishes, like Tacos, Pizza, Pirogs and Hamburgers. This is classed like quickfood that you buy when you don´t have time to cook a proper meel.
