I can tell you more about the Swedish fika (coffee break) later. Here is a great video about "The Swedish Fika"
"Replace your gun with a cinnamon bum."

Now, the "fika" tradition in Sweden started in the later part of the 19th century as a sober response to the unhealthy drinking of alcohol that many Swedes had back then. Gathering around a cup of coffee was the sound way to challenge gatherings were alcohol was present.
Soon in these early coffee meetings, the addition of cookies were also considered as a natural and pleasure ingredient. So coffee and sugar cakes became the weapon against drunkenness.

100 years later the drunkenness as a social trauma was gone but the coffee and cake tradition had become a new “standard”.
In the most advance form it should be coffee and “seven cakes” but that is for ladies.

 However at work this tradition of coffee-breaks is very strong, not seen in so many other countries. In Sweden you have two coffee brakes per day where the co-workers have at least a 15 minutes break where they can be social to each other. The most common moments for these kind of social coffee-breaks happens between  9 to 10 and 14:30 to 15 o’clock.

In private you can invite someone to a "fika", meaning just that you will drink coffee or tea and have some cakes.

We call it smoko, but we don't do the cake thing, which seems very pleasant, if a little fattening.
In organised workplaces (large organisations) workers always break for morning and arvo smoko, but in smaller work places it is pretty non-existent.

Smoko?
And arvo smoko?

Well, at work there is no cake to the coffee or tea unless it's Friday (then it is obligatory) or if someone has something to celebrate.

Well, the Swedish word ”fika” is derived from Café. How that is done no one knows but the Swedish Café was called Fik. So at the local Fik you go and have a Fika.

The Golden age of Coffee Fik’s where in the 1950’s and 60’s. Then there were Cafés in every corner.
Now these kind of places has to have a much broader meny to survive. And the number of “real cafés" are reduced 20 times since the golden era.

[Michael]

Ah, the age of cafes... they were a an intense scene.

Now somewhere in the Black Mountain Hills of Dakota
There lived a young boy named Rocky Raccoon.
And one day his woman ran off with another guy.

Hit young Rocky in the eye Rocky didn't like that.
He said "I'm gonna get that boy."
So one day he walked into town
Booked himself a room in the local saloon.
Rocky Raccoon checked into his room,
Only to find Gideon's Bible.

Rocky had come, equipped with a gun,
To shoot off the legs of his rival.
His rival, it seems, had broken his dreams,
By stealing the girl of his fancy.
Her name was Magill, and she called herself Lil,
But ev'ryone knew her as Nancy.

Now she and her man, who called himself Dan,
Were in the next room at the hoedown.
Rocky burst in, and grinning a grin,
He said, "Danny boy, this is a showdown."
But Daniel was hot, he drew first and shot,
And Rocky collapsed in the corner.

Now, the doctor came in, stinking of gin,
And proceeded to lie on the table.
He said, "Rocky, you met your match,"
And Rocky said, "Doc, it's only a scratch,
And I'll be better, I'll be better, Doc, as soon as I am able"

Now Rocky Raccoon, he fell back in his room,
Only to find Gideon's Bible.
Gideon checked out and he left it no doubt
To help with good Rocky's revival

However, 90 years old is overtime in life, especially as a rock star.
