Skummade

Skummade is a Swedish term that translates to "skimmed" or "foamed" in English. It most commonly refers to the process of removing the top layer of something.

In the context of dairy products, skummade is often used to describe milk that has had its cream removed. This results in skimmed milk, which is a low-fat alternative to whole milk. Skimmed milk has a thinner consistency and a less rich flavor compared to milk with its fat content intact.

The term can also be applied to other liquids. For example, one might "skumma" coffee to remove the foam from the top before drinking it, or "skumma" a pot of broth to remove any impurities or fat that have risen to the surface. This process is usually done for aesthetic reasons or to improve the flavor and texture of the liquid.

Figuratively, "skummade" can refer to a superficial or hasty examination of something, implying that only the surface has been looked at and deeper understanding has been missed. This usage is similar to the English idiom "to skim the surface."
