The Swedes have a saying: "En bit bröd i fickan är bättre än en fjäder i hatten." A bit of bread in your pocket is better than a feather in your cap … especially when it's dark and wholesome limpa bread. Subtly flavored with orange rind, caraway, anise, and fennel seed, Sweden's signature rye bread is worth the effort it takes to make, especially when served alongside a bowl of steaming hot pea soup.
