Nordic Noir Locations

Nordic Noir is a Scandinavian and Nordic genre of detective stories in both literature and filmed media. With it's roots in Sweden and Norway from the sixties and seventies. Maj Sjöwall and Per Wahlöö is said to be the grandparents of it and Gunnar Staalesen their kid brother. The big break for the genre came with Henning Mankell and Stieg Larsson's dark crime novels. With the Tv series Forbrydelsen (The Killing) and Bron/Broen (The Bridge) the genre started to dominate the detective scene.

Eating like Wallander 01

Let's have a treat, at Fridolfs.
The Wallander paistry would be nice!
A blue piece of cake full of whipped cream.

However, I didn't have one this year.

Curious note, at the time when the Wallander books were written, Swedish policemen's bad eating habits was a subject.
Especially the overconsuming of Wienerbröd.
