September is the month of food heaven in Scandinavia. The selection of seasonal produce is the best: you get the end of summer, which means the last of the berries, new potatoes, and cabbage; and the first of autumn – root vegetables, mushrooms, spinach, sweet tomatoes, fatty mackerel, herbs such as dill and lovage, and much more. This is the month for the harvest feast celebrating the farmers, giving thanks to nature and to the importance of seasons. Velbekomme.
