    Reminds me of the story of Jesus giving the bread and fish to the people.

                  We usually call the dish "fish and chips" even in a Swedish context.

                    Men om du vill veta det är: "fisk och potatis"

                    potatis means "potatoes", not quite the same thing.

                      If here is brödet is existing bröden ?

                        No. Because it says "brödet", then it is "ett bröd", and then it cannot end on an the "en".

                        I think the bröden would mean "the breads", instead

                        Indeed.

                          Something I don't understand, when do I have to use "en" and when do I use "et" is there any rule for that?

                            Read the tips and notes section for more information on that, but there aren't really any rules for 'en' and 'et' which makes it quite difficult :(

                                final consonants sound muted. is this usual?

                                For och, yes - that's very often just pronounced as the vowel.
