homely fare Explanation: In context, what you are looking for is clearly "husmanskost". A "husman" is a permanently resided worker out in the fields or forests. I suppose "husmanskost" was traditionally what he ate. "Homely fare" is proper dinner as opposed to pizzas and sushi etc which seems to be the only thing restaurants in Sweden offer. |
