Just about the only true smörgåsbords you'll find in Sweden are around Christmastime, when they're billed as julbord (Christmas tables).

The ferry lines across the Baltic have nightly smörgåsbords, as well.

Even more fun Swedish language fact: Smörgås not only means sandwich, but it can be parsed further to mean "butter goose."
