August 5: 20th Annual Crayfish Party at American Swedish Historical Museum
Pardon my Swedish, but it's time for a Kraftskiva.
August 5: 20th Annual Crayfish Party at American Swedish Historical Museum
Pardon my Swedish, but it’s time for a Kraftskiva. The American Swedish Historical Museum (1900 Pattison Ave.) is inviting everyone over to their place for their 20th annual crayfish party. It won’t be your usual American bayou-style crayfish meal, though: ASHM is taking the old-school Swedish approach, boiling the crayfish in salt water and plenty of dill. Eating them will also be by the book. The mini-lobster-lookers will chill before the crowd begins cracking the shells with their hands and slurping them down (don’t worry, there’ll be bibs on hand). And don’t forget the sides, which will include potato salad, green salad and toasted bread with sharp cheese. But a Kraftskiva is also about the celebration itself. Partygoers usually indulge in plenty of aquavit — maybe that’s why a the events usually involve singing Swedish songs while wearing paper hats.
