So I looked it up in the Urban Dictionary.<br />We don't go there very often because it isn't handy, but I wish someone would open a coffee shop near us. Something like a J & S Fika Shop!!<br /><br />Thanks for all the info and fun photos!The Nolteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02910672961598558281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8324266336241337853.post-33702391377072524982009-08-20T21:03:03.925+02:002009-08-20T21:03:03.925+02:00To answer Gran: Yes, you can use Fika as a verb, w...To answer Gran: Yes, you can use Fika as a verb, who taught you that?! :) Are you secretly hanging out with Swedish people. You can also say "would you like to take a Fika?" <br /><br />To answer dad: We have Fika mainly when we are with Fredriks family, and we do it everytime we eat together. So we have breakfast, then a Fika sometime in the afternoon, dinner (usually around 5) and then another Fika. And yes, you can substitute tea for coffee, but in all honesty, I've never seen a Swede drink tea! They love love love their coffee!<br /><br />Thanks for the questions, it's fun to answer!Ashleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8324266336241337853.post-30620410858467279122009-08-20T20:28:52.278+02:002009-08-20T20:28:52.278+02:00That is a great tradition and a great way to spend...That is a great tradition and a great way to spend more time with family and friends. Is Fika something you do every evening or just on special occasions? You mentioned substituting soda for coffee. Can you substitute tea for coffee as well?<br /><br />Love,<br />DadAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05517751986945842323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8324266336241337853.post-54742974276215663442009-08-20T05:49:13.396+02:002009-08-20T05:49:13.396+02:00WOW - I'm going to have to go have a cookie, c...WOW - I'm going to have to go have a cookie, coffee, chocolate, and a cinnamon roll.
