Ooh, yeah. They are traditional in Sweden for Midsummer (June 21)
and again in August sometime there is a crayfish festival. They are
served on big, heaping platters together with ever-present potatoes (the
Scandinavian National must-have) and beer and schnapps. Lots of singing
and toasting as an accompaniment, too. Fruit and good cheese
(prast-ost) for dessert or their delicious strawberries.

It's a very festive meal.
