Fika

Specialised

Not "coffee and cake" but a scheduled social pause, usually twice a working day, taken together and regarded as part of the job rather than a break from it — written into workplace culture, and into the word itself, which is a back-slang inversion of kaffi. ⚠ TREATED AS A SOCIAL PRACTICE, not a menu, and ⚠ IT IS NOT SWEDISH FOOD CULTURE IN TOTAL.
