huvudmåltiden

Huvudmåltiden, also known as the main course, is the central part of a meal, typically served after the förrätt (appetizer) and before the efterrätt (dessert). It is the most substantial part of the meal and is designed to satisfy hunger and provide essential nutrients. The huvudmåltiden can vary greatly depending on the region, culture, and personal preferences. Common examples include meat dishes, pasta, rice dishes, and vegetarian or vegan options. In many cultures, the huvudmåltiden is accompanied by side dishes such as bread, salad, or potatoes to complement the main course. The term "huvudmåltiden" is commonly used in Swedish cuisine, but similar concepts exist in other culinary traditions around the world.
