Make a Swedish mustard, honey and dill sauce, quick-pickle some cucumbers, and hard-boil some eggs. Build the picnic around one great hero – rare roast beef, cured salmon gravlax or smoked salmon – then add any extras you love such as smoked eel, canned sardines, dill pickles, salmon caviar, blue cheese, prawns, capers, jarlsberg cheese, watercress – and let your guests assemble their own open sandwiches.
