This does not look that much different from knäckebröd, the (cheap) cracker bread you can still in the modern day buy in literally every supermarket of Sweden and Finland. The only difference I can see is that knäckebröd is always made with rye flour. The more artisanal / traditional varieties even come with the funny hole in the middle, that was in The Olden Times used to hang the breads on a pole in the roof above the stove.
The Wikipedia article even has in illustration of this storage method: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crispbread#Origins https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crispbread#Origins
- yencabulator 3y agoYou can buy Swedish knäckebröd in many US grocery stores. Look in the aisle with the cheese & crackers style crackers, it's labeled "Wasa crispbread" (google those words for pictures). The multigrain is good. Trader Joe's carries Norwegian dried flat bread of some sort, but it's different. More seeds and way more dense. However, you absolutely cannot get good rye bread anywhere in the western US. I've never spent time on East coast, maybe one of the immigrant-heavy areas might have it. Whatever is labeled as rye bread here (Jewish rye, Russian rye, ...) is different from the rye bread in the Nordics.
