Foodie's Guide to Sweden: A Day of Eating Iconic Swedish Dishes!

[@swedishmetalbear]

It was so nice to see someone eating and trying things properly.... And reacting honest and actually giving it a try.. This is how you acquire the taste for new things.. An open mind is a treasure.

[@chloeandludvig]

Thank you! I love to try new foods, especially when it's a special experience like trying Ludvigs childhood favourites!

I was in the military a few years ago, still ärtsoppa and Pannkakor on thursdays. Almost a religion here, when you go out for lunch all the places serving "husmanskost" (ask ludvig about it if you dont know). has it on its menu for lunch

[@swedishmetalbear]

Swedes have been eating pea soup and pancakes.. Attested since at least the 1300's. The military has been serving it that way ever since then.. sometimes with bits of salty pork in it.. It was cheap.. easy to bring along.. (All you needed to procure was water) And good for the soldiers. I have to take Ludwigs side on this.. That is a type of thin pancake.. A crêpe is thinner and has more eggs in the batter..Making it easier to fill without ripping.. What americans call pancakes.. Are actually originally called "flap jacks". The vernacular has changed over the years.. getting the two mixed up.

[@Obtite]

whatever you do , dont bring up the correct name for a pancake in swedish. this arguement has caused friendships to fall apart

[@swedishmetalbear]

@@Obtite Is it plättar contra pannkakor? For anything to be a plätt it has to have been made in a plättlagg.. A plätt is a type of pancake.. But just any old pancake is not a plätt...

Cloud berry jam with vanilla ice cream is a must to try. Amazing! :)

[@reallivebluescat]

Surströmming was created during a salt shortage in sweden, i think it was usually dried in salt (like you do with salt cod for exmple. Pre refridgeration) But when you dont use as much salt, it starts a fermentation process instead!

[@christopherx7428]

It is a tradition along the coast in the north, where the Baltic sea is nearly freshwater. Salt would have been expensive, so it makes sense that poor Swedes tried to use as little as possible. I tried it twice at the same time - i.e. first and last!

Today, pancakes with strawberry jam (the BEST one is from Rema 1000) and sourcreme, and I make it when I feel for it. The peasoup, nah, not in my home. Knekkebrød with the norwegian version of Kalles, Mills Kaviar, is still a staple in my home. In the mid-80's, when I was a UN-soldier in Lebanon, when we got Knekkebrød, kaviar and brown cheese (brun ost), then it was a party! 😅

Aw thank you for watching and leaving this kind comment!! Glad you enjoyed the Swedish food adventures :)

[@NennaC]

Just for info, there are quite a lot of Swedes, including myself, who don’t fancy fishy food such as kaviar or pickled herring for breakfast. Common to have here is also a bowl of yoghurt with or without musli, a soft open sandwich, toasted or not, with whatever you like on top. I prefer butter and occasionally a bit of orange marmelade. Coffee, tea or hot chocolate is common to drink and maybe a glass of orange juice or a fruit. Some slice their fruit and add it to the yoghurt bowl. Some like to have a bowl of oatmeal with milk or a traditional English breakfast which is also popular here in Sweden, often stripped down to only bacon and eggs. A lot of people I know love lingonberry jam on pancakes. It has a slight bitter taste which I think gives the pancakes more of an adult flavour, compared to overly sweet strawberry jams and such which kids usually prefer. I guess Swedes are divided when it comes to jam preference on pancakes. Due to this bitterness lingonberry jam is often used as a condiment to various savory dishes too such as meatballs. I refuse to even go near Surströmming so even Swedes sometimes find those downright nasty. Some love it, some hate it.

[@ragnaroik]

Ärtsoppa/peasoup is usually not eaten as portraid for breakfast. usually with plain mustard or coarse mustard on the side of the plate depending on taste. not ontop. Also pickled herring is not a staple breakfast. However filmjök with musli or corn flaskes/porridge, a boiled egg with salt or kaviar. and sandwich of some kind, especielly knäckebröd. Usually pickled herring in the variations there of, are usually for special occasions. such as x-mas, easter etc. That said in hotels there are more common to find pickled herring then in most swedish homes.

[@reallivebluescat]

Pea soup is for lunch on Thursdays, with pancake for dessert

[@nelyrions1838]

Knäckebröd should be a staple everywhere in the world. It's shelf stable for a long time. Lots of fibres and zinc. If you buy the ones with tons of different seeds its even more healthy. You can have anything from just butter to cheese to anything you want. And it's very, very cheap. It's the perfect food.

[@chloeandludvig]

Ohhh agree! It was so versatile and I can tell how healthy it is!!👌🏼👌🏼

[@Illadviced]

Downside: the actually healthy ones taste like sadness and fcking bark

[@mad4watches]

Very rarely does anyone eat sill for breakfast. Also the Kaviar is great with a slice of cheese on =)

[@marcofsw]

I do love sill, and I think that a lot of people here eat knäckebörd with ägg and kalles kaviar for breakfast. But I'm skeptical if sill is actually a regular part of anyones everyday breakfast? Personally I only eat sill at christmas, easter, midsummer, when it's part of a hotel breakfast and occasionally as lunch during late spring/early summer or whenever there are new potatoes available. A can of sill, cooked new potatoes, sourcream with some freshcut chives, that just screams "Swedish summer is approaching".

[@magnusnilsson9792]

Ärtsoppa(peasoup) is known in the military as "machinegun gruel" and has been a staple food for the military for centuries. I prefer using a stronger mustard for peasoup, that way the soup won't get cold. Ägg, Kaviar & knäckebröd is a common breakfast but not everyday, you'll get sick of it after a while, try liverpaste + picklad cucumbers(sliced or chewed [Boston-gurka]) on knäckebröd or simple cheese (sliced with the norwegian invention the cheese slicer), ham or salami. Good addons are for these are cheese + banana, cheese + jam, onions goes well on salami and on all three, bell peppers or tomatoes is nice. Herring is not a typical breakfast food, makrill (in tomatosauce) is probably more my cup of tea. Don't drink Swedish coffe after 15:00 or you might have trouble sleeping until midnight.

I found this on the website re the eSIM working out at sea on a cruise ship - *Please note that Airalo cannot ensure the strength of coverage in maritime areas. It's important to note that while coverage is available in urban areas, the reliability of signal reception may be limited in sea regions due to the nature of the network infrastructure.

Lingon works good with ugnspannkaka and fläskpannkaka. Wrong mustard in my opinion for the peasoup that i also found a bit to loose for my taste, thicker soup and Hultbergs mustard. But that could just be a Malmö thing ;) and next time try the eggs and caviar on toast.

[@jesperwall839]

The original way to eat pea soup (ärtsoppa) is with chunks of pork in it. Tastes much better than just peas 👍

[@gorankarlsson8741]

The custom ot eating peasoup and pancakes on thursdays goes back hundreds of years when the church had a lot more power. Swedes were told to be fasting on fridays for some reason so they needed a solid meal on thursdays.

[@onewomanarmy6451]

I would encourage people to try making chokladbollar at home, I find them much tastier and quite different from massproduced ones. I like to eat them after they have properly "set" in the fridge and I always roll them in pärlsocker and not coconut since I enjoy the contrasting crunchy texture. I usually add in a bit more oat as well since I enjoy the flavour but if it's your first time making them be careful so you don't end up with a crumbly mess although that can be fixed with a tiny splash of water or coffee or a some softened butter. You should also be able to see the oats in there so just mix it until it comes together and they can hold a ball shape but the oats shouldn't be disintegrated. I mean if you don't think you'll like bits of oats in there just mix until they are disintegrated, they will still be delicious. Damn it, now I want to eat chokladbollar...

Swedish pancakes should be at least doubly as thick as crêpes. Crêpes should be as thin as possible.

I live in finland and is a swedish-speaking finn, we also put chop up raw onion in are soups, and it have to be turun or auran sinappi 😂 so fucking delicious

"System: Bola-Jet" Sounds like some artsy synth band from the 80s.

I was given a can of those herrings by a Swedish friend years ago, I still dry reach when I think of them! 🤢🤮 I love your videos and look forward to the next one! Cheers from Australia.

It's food for Vikings and not for weak offspring of Englishmen😂

[@chloeandludvig]

Hehehe, the taste definitely isn't for everyone! Ludvig could eat it all day 😂 Thank you I am so glad you enjoy our videos!!

I've actually had, I kid you not, pointed out to me during my performance review that I need to be better at participating in fika breaks. Like as in a personal goal set by my boss. And I am Swedish. The fika is out of control in this country.

[@michaelpettersson4919]

Fika breaks are often informal meetings as well.

If you have Ikea you will find it there :)

When you forget the butter on the bread, Kalle's Caviar tastes worse. Put butter on the hard bread and put just a small dab of kalles on the egg.. to begin with. Then we have lots of different hard breads for different people..We don't eat herring on hard bread like you do. We eat it on a plate with potatoes and other things. Thick pancakes have an ability to grow in the mouth and thin pancakes are hard to stop eating. Especially if you add cream, sugar and jam. Swirl a hot frying pan when you add a dollop of butter and the batter should be no more so that it just covers the stone pan. Then you get crispy tops around the entire pancake. Use grease in the pan for each cake. Don't forget to flip the cake.= (Plättan.. in Swedish)

This video just taught me that New Zealand doesn’t have IKEA 😂

[@Mackii007]

Surprised you liked Kalles Kaviar, oftentimes foreigners are put off by it. Hell they even ran an ad campaign based on it describing it as "A very Swedish flavor". Albeit I suppose if you like Vegemite the saltiness isn't too overbearing.

[@chloeandludvig]

I was surprised also! It had a very strong taste... but yes, I am used to Vegemite so perhaps that helped..

Swedish pancakes with butter, sugar and a little jam and whipped cream. Where is the butter by now? 18:28
