Jellied veal

(Redirected from Kalvsylta)

Jellied veal (or veal brawn, Swedish: kalvsylta)[1] is a cold cut dish made from veal, sometimes pork, stock, onion and spices such as allspice, bay leaf and white pepper.[2] It is eaten cold from the fridge, often with potatoes and pickled beetroot or sliced on crisp bread. It is a traditional dish for Christmas in Sweden.[3] Jellied veal is considered one of the few remaining dishes from the original Swedish Christmas smorgasbord.[4]
