Yes very much a savory profile and only eaten as a savory meal typically.

The spinach is frozen spinach and it already comes in those cubes, very shredded. I assume the store bought ones are also made with that. I've made these myself from frozen spinach often just by adding a bag of spinach to a crepe or a pancake type batter and they are amazing. I often add some nutmeg, onion powder, garlic, and black pepper as well and it's so good.

For added delicious I always fry the store bought pancakes in a pan. They get nice and crispy on the outside and remain soft inside. Add the jam and it's so good.

Now that I think of it, not much can't. In my grandparents house lingonberry jam was on the table with most things. It's so good with savory food, just had it with meat and taters this week.

But it's also so good in sweet treats. Lingonberry cheesecake is my go-to Christmas treat.

It's always lingonberry jam and pickled beetroots. It's the local ketchup and salad combo, lol.

What else can be eaten with lingonberry jam?

Meatballs and potatoes is the traditional thing. There is literally nothing those on the Scandinavian peninsula won't eat with it. You can also do the eastern european thing where you put jam in tea with lingonberry jam.

It can be the only thing. These have almost 6g of protein/100g so it is surprisingly filling. There is typically a salad on the side though, maybe something else depending on the school, like cottage cheese.

We also have porridge days in school. It's just oatmeal with a berry soup, a side of bread with some toppings and nothing else.

I am here to defend the humble spinach soup so I am one of those who love it. It has to be well made though and in school it often is not. I would assume especially now as we no longer have cooks in schools and daycares and the food is basically factory made.

But the good old spinach soup is basically a bechamel based soup where you add the spinach, nutmeg, onion, garlic and salt & pepper. It's really good made with stinging nettle too, just like the pancakes.

I always make this when it gets really cold and it was always one of those cheap filling things to make when I was low on money. Frozen spinach and eggs are cheap, some homemade bread buns on the side and you're fed. You could make almost the whole meal from one of those EU food aid bags, had to only have money for the spinach.
