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.

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

[@herrkulor3771]

I have never eaten herring for a normal everyday swedish breakfast. But definitely possible if you don't want sliced meat/sausage.

[@denravonska]

Feels like more of a hotel breakfast thing. I wouldn't have salmon for breakfast either.

[@kajsan760]

Yeah, I think most Swedes don't have herring for breakfast every day, but might if there are leftovers that needs eating.

[@nyfunnennachonalist]

agree

[@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.

[@TheBurnknight]

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

[@swedishmetalbear]

@@TheBurnknight 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...

[@bengtolsson5436]

Breakfast in Sweden often contains yogurt,Curd milk, or porridge of various kinds.

[@chloeandludvig]

Yes, I've heard that! Sounds yum :)

[@tovemagnussen4423]

Norwegian, Systembolaget = Vinmonopolet. Ertesuppe og pannekaker, was for fridays when I grew up (in the 60's - 70's). 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! 😅

[@rogermagnusson8877]

Getting hungry just watching that breakfast! Kaviar and knäcke is just godly, kaviar and egg is godly, together it is divine.

Im a swede and Vegemite only works on toast with like a micro thin layer, then it's actually pretty good. It works with a really hearty soup.

[@christopherx7428]

What is an absolute must with the pea soup but I did not see in the video is some pork that you cut into tiny pieces and put in the soup. Just checked a can of ready-made pea soiup in the cupboard and it says 17% pork in it. I like some mustard too, but no where near the amount Ludvig uses.

[@michaelpettersson4919]

I have a colleague that migrated here from India. As a natural vegetarian she replaced the pork with various beans. Apperantly it work.

[@christopherx7428]

@@michaelpettersson4919 You can of course make your own version, but the traditional Swedish way to eat pea soup is with small pieces of pork in it.

[@uku5840]

Saw the egg and kaviar combo without butter and I audibly went "no, Nonono!"

[@chloeandludvig]

Baaahahah I know what a mistake!😆

[@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.

[@chloeandludvig]

Wow thanks for the info!! I am sure a lot of viewers will find this very helpful and informative

[@0htwo]

Ludwig you represent us so well. Tack!

[@Ichbaar]

Not really tho. Overtattoo'd soy-being with metal crap all over his head. He's bitching a little too much, so that part is correct atleast.

[@saskiapanter]

Cool, peaspup and pancakes is also a very traditional combination in the Netherlands. Erwtensoep en pannenkoeken. Our pancakes look exactly the same, just as thick, a little thicker than crapes. The pancakes are soooo yummy

[@chloeandludvig]

Oh wow that's pretty cool!! Mmmm the pancakes are so good Aren't they!? Thanks for watching :)

[@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!

[@user-dq1hq4of6o]

And it smells really good, the swedes go banana for it

[@reallivebluescat]

​@@user-dq1hq4of6o😂

Crepes are a french thin pancake, often served with filling like mushrooms. Swedish pancakes and un-filled crepes are the same thing.

[@reallivebluescat]

French crêpes are often superthin, i mean seethru

[@sunshinegorman3218]

I feel the culture shock just watching the amount of mustard he uses in the pea soup. 😳

[@chloeandludvig]

EXACTLY! Hahaha, I am not alone in thinking this!

[@veriahl]

It looked about right to me and you are also supposed to mix the mustard in to get it all to the right consistency.

[@margieguild519]

Sounds delicious! And pancakes for dessert.. absolute winner!!

[@michaelpettersson4919]

Personally I use so much mustard that it look like an oatmeal.

[@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

We have a version of that swedish chocolate ball here in newfoundland canada! We call them snowballs! they are covered with alot more coconut! also our liquor store are gov't run as well, but you can buy beer at the corner stores and gas stations!

[@chloeandludvig]

Wow that's so cool!! ...we have Newfoundland VERY high on our list and may try to visit next summer!! ;) We'll keep an eye out for the snowballs

[@magnusnilsson9792]

The original ones in sweden were not called chocolateballs, they were called negroballs, but that name recently got controversial. Also coconut is a new idea, it used to be pearl-sugar, same kind of sugar used on the cinnamon bun.

[@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.

[@aggy8640]

I live for Ludvig's voiceovers and still shots when talking about your sponsor! Lol. I am definitely signing up with your promo code the next time I travel internationally. :)

[@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.

[@RaXXha]

Yes, in the military thet still serve pea soup and pancakes every thrusday. :D

[@pepp82]

When opening the kaviar tube using the cap of the tube, you have to press it extra hard to give the kaviar the right look. I swear I can taste the diffrence even if I spread it out with a knife after.

[@Mindrax]

Add some Timjan/Thyme to the pea-soup makes it much tastier. And strong mustard ;)

[@chloeandludvig]

Ooo thyme is so good isn't it!

[@Uncle_T]

Kalles Kaviar goes with egg very well, but I do understand it's a bit of an acquired taste. :)

[@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...

[@thomash3716]

And make sure there is enough cacao in the mix... it has to be heavy on cacao to be at the top! :)

[@chloeandludvig]

Hey Cathy! Airalo would work very well at ports/land adventures - it's so handy to have when travelling, a real time saver! 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.

Bulle i bulle is just a gimmick; its been around a few years; its not a swedish tradition, its not mainstream in anyway; its simply something most people think is disgusting. Also mustard in pea-soup is great; but you cant have Johnnys Sötstarka mustard?! It should be REAL mustard (you wouldnt need as much, also the sweetness urk) , also, you need some fläsk el falukorv in the peasoup for it to really shine.

[@Ikaelgo]

Most Swedes definitely do not eat pickled herring for breakfast! And, in my humble opinion, coffe and Kalles Kaviar (or pickled herring), is not a good taste combo. Better with tea.

[@LordBaktor]

Swedish cuisine is overall boring and weird but it has some standouts that I would miss if I ever moved from here. Spain though, I could justify moving there for the food alone.

[@Taxi58]

The reason we eat pea soup is because the housemaids had Fridays was all housemaids day off. Preparing the soup a day ahead will only benefit the taste of it. So it was prepared Wednesday, and after it was served at Thursday the weekend started for the servants. If you prepare your soup it is supposed to contain salted pork ham. Btw... Ask your boyfriend what the not so political correct name of your Swedish chocolate ball is.

[@chloeandludvig]

Oooh fascinating information! Haha, Ludvig has told me the previous chocolate ball name!

[@SuperSupermanpunch]

Den där ärtsoppan?! Var den hemlagad?! 😂😂

[@chloeandludvig]

...usually Ludvig makes it from scratch, but this time he bought soldatens ;)

[@johankaewberg8162]

Chocolate balls used to have a much more offensive name starting with n-. Yes really.

[@chloeandludvig]

Ludvig has told me about that!

[@michaelpettersson4919]

It wasn't considered offensive at the time. That is a rather wierd American idea.

[@0vi0lat0r0]

People don't eat sill for breakfast. And for Gods sake, find some butter ^^

[@TheMightyGumball]

12:07 Correction. ALWAYS WITH COFFEE!!!! Otherwise it's fake and you're legally allowed to throw it as hard as you want on the person who created the monstrosity!

[@danielkallman8600]

Ludde du glömde punchen till ärtsoppan och pankakorna

[@Vinterfrid]

I think you're the first foreigner I've ever heard pronounced "IKEA" the correct way. Your boyfriend is very wrong saying that the name is pronounced "eye-kee-a" in English - its a name that is pronounced the Swedish way in every language there is.

[@jordan38r]

those are defiantly crepes u would never roll a pancake.

[@JamesGJGSUSHI]

Definitely crepes

[@patrikforsberg205]

Yellow pea soup... Mmmm. Have Them with pancakes, whipped cream, strawberry jam... And with punsch, its the law, punsch is some arrak tasting sweet liqueur, the law since 1800

[@veriahl]

Now, as a northerner we generally call Pannkakor the proper name Plättar. The south is wrong on this one and a few other things as well. But caviar and egg, meatballs, peasoup and pancakes. Stuff i eat frequently. Having said that i cant stand the IKEA version of meatballs.

[@zeus04]

You really found yourself a close to stereotypical swede there! Good for you!

[@mikewatson5281]

Wow as far as alcohol goes Sweden is a European Utah

[@chloeandludvig]

Ahhhh is it similar!?

[@mikewatson5281]

@@chloeandludvig it may have changed but a few years back it was state run liquor stores , you needed a private membership to buy booze in restaurants and the beer has less alcohol content than regular beer and I think Canada is similar also

[@user-vm8zk4lc1t]

Chloe, you are very brave to try all those foods. Sorry Ludvig, a bowl of corn flakes looks better to me than the cracker/fish meal.

[@chloeandludvig]

Hehe thank you!! It was fun trying these new flavours! ...but yes, I think I too would prefer a bowl of cornflakes ;)

[@bengtolsson5436]

After all, you eat crispbread with either with sourmilk and cereal, or some type of porridge. You don't just eat that.

[@TheFrewah]

@@chloeandludvigThat’s good Swedish food. I love pickled herring

[@Sven...]

No smör?...

[@Sven...]

Thats the name. Smörgås ... Butter and bread.. smör=butter gås= slice of bread..

[@chloeandludvig]

Haha we totally forgot!!
