This week's Lockdown Takeout Review: Kantine.

This is a local Scandahoovian place that had a stand at the farmers' market last year (? I think) before their space was ready. We got to quite like their brothy porridge, so when the wife spotted them in a list that was her choice for this week. We chose to do Saturday takeout brunch.

What worked: The cinnamon knot was quite good - not too sweet and no icing. The open-face smoked trout sandwich was also excellent.

What didn't: The porridge was fine, but it didn't work for me the way I had hoped. Perhaps because it was a cooked-grain porridge and not a broth? I don't think it's really their fault - it was still tasty enough, but nonetheless I was slightly disappointed in it.

Will we go there again? Quite possibly. Although it is more likely we will start making this sort of open-face sandwich during the summer instead, and while I'm working from home I can make groat broth in the small slow cooker for breakfast.

How delightful to hear that the cinnamon knot was without icing. That implies it was also without the little hard sugar crystals that are the default topping on kanelbullar<\i> here. I will never understand the appeal of those.

It did have those. I liked them - they had the texture of pretzel salt with a touch of sweetness.
