233 THE PRIVATE LIFE OF GRETA GARBO Sigrid loaned Garbo one of her tablecloths, such as they use in Sweden during the Christmas holidays. It was of fine linen with a border of figures in red. This was spread on the dining-room table, and a big bowl of holly and poinsettias arranged for the centerpiece. The fireplace was piled high with logs, ready to light as soon as the sun went down. Garbo had set the time for her Christmas Eve supper at eight o’clock. The meal was to be just what every good Swede had the night before Christmas. Lutfish, julgrot, Swedish apple cake, and coffee. Lutfish is something like codfish, but before it is cooked it must soak for weeks in various brines. Around the holidays the storekeepers have great kegs of it ready for their Swedish customers. In the home it is prepared much like codfish. First it is soaked in cold water for half an hour, then it is gently boiled until tender. It is put on a platter and covered with a rich white sauce. The fish, with boiled potatoes and Swedish hard-tack and hot rolls, forms the main course of the supper.
