What are the differences and similarites between italian and swedish food?

The breakfast is usually salty, for example Swedes eat butter and ham or turkey, and some fruit. They drink coffee which is long and without sugar and fruit juice sometimes. They also drink milk in every meal. Swedish people have also lunch and dinner very early in confront to us: lunch at 11:00 a.m. and dinner at 6:00 p.m. Italia usually have lunch at 1 pm and have dinner at 8 p.m. But at lunch students eat in the cafeteria fish once a week, soup, meat, lasagne, vegetables and drink water. Italian students eat lunch at home. They either don´t have plastic bottles of water, they only drink it from the tap because the water is very clean and it’s from the mountains. On Friday night Swedish families usually eat tacos, while Italian families eat pizza. Swedish pizza is very different from the Italian one, because instead of mozzarella they use cheese. Between lunch and dinner Swedish people eat ”Fika” which is juice or milk with kanelbullar. It doesn´t have to be kanelbullar, it can be just something little and sweet. Meatballs are similar to our Italian”polpette” which are bigger, but Italians eat them with pepper or tomato sauce instead of the Swedish that eat them with jam and beet sauce. Typical Swedish candies are salty, while Italian candies are really sweet. Italians use different dishes for the first course, the second course and side plates. Swedish people eat everything in the same dish.
