A great and diverse buffet was awaiting the guests with some of the most iconic typical Midsummer dishes including three types of marinated herrings, boiled small potatoes with butter and dill, smoked salmon and of course the meatballs just to name a fraction of what was offered. After enjoying the buffet, it was time for the popular SweCham quiz which challenged the participants with both Midsummer-related questions and general knowledge questions.
