I Try Swedish Food for the FIRST TIME! (Kroppkaka, Hasselback Potatoes, Skagen, Gravlax, Meatballs)

[@petereriksson7166]

Do not know why but it makes me smile to see somebody eating real swedish food. Seemed to enjoy it.

[@jokervienna6433]

Okaaayyy... a Swede here. On a nice day I would call this a "Scandinavian inspired reasturant". It is a very long way from Swedish food though. The most authentic thing you tried was the akvavit (Aqua Vitae, the water of life). Every nordic country has it, but there are many variants. Should be served icecold, directly from the fridge. All the other food you tried, nope, it is not Swedish. Torched gravlax? Well, it is one way to destroy the original taste. You eat gravlax cold, and if it is well made it truly melts in your mouth. Skagen came close, but I assure you it is nothing compared to when you get it directly from the Swedish westcoast. They are the masters of Swedish seafood. Freshly caught and cooked shrimp is something to die for. But ok. I will be nice and say it is a good try! Well done! I do think it is a good restaurant and that the food was great! But Swedish food it is not.

[@Necronomous]

Not even the meatballs looked Swedish to me.

[@LoganN91]

Apologies for misspelling “Kramfors” in the vid everyone! Enjoy the vid!

[@liamalicia.1552]

Kroppkakor is one of my absolute favourit foods, with melted butter and lingonsylt. 😋

[@outernothingness1177]

Ok, if you're ever heading to Sweden, just send me a message, and we'll make sure you have surströmming the proper way.

[@Henrik_Holst]

And while it's more common up north you can get it all over Sweden.

[@youremybiggestfan]

I actually love surströmming but haven't eaten it since I was very young with family.. Just dont have any friends who like it.

[@Bevity]

I did. I hated it.

[@rikardkarlsson3999]

If you want to try traditional local food, do not go to a fancy restaurant! You will get some twisted version no local would pin down as the dish you are trying out. Huge misstake!

[@Asa...S]

4:44 You will be pretty close if you say: Stoor (like Stool but with an r instead of an l) Mac's Tea Den Stor is big or great, Makt is power Tid is time. So basically "Time/Era of Great Power". It´s a time in Swedish history. 1611-1721, when Sweden was an empire. 16:12 Yes, Swedish food is pretty creamy. A lot of dairy. Swedes often think something is missing if there isn´t some creamy sauce to a dish. Swedes even add like bearnaise sause or garlic sauce on pizza. 17:05 Skagen (or Skagenröra) is really easy to make at home. You just mix shrimps with mayo, creme fraiche, dill, a little bit of lemon, and some roe/caviar. I also add some chopped red onion in mine, but I don´t think that is in the traditional recipe. And you serve it on toast, or on potatoes or avocado, or in a sandwich. Or just eat a whole bowl of it if you like!

[@reallivebluescat]

classic swedish meatballs often equal parts veal, pork and beef-mince

[@Bag_monkey]

00:43 They town is called Kramfors, not Kramfos.

[@liamalicia.1552]

I live 100 kilometres from Kramfors by the way. My father lives there. ☺

[@Faidros62]

I wouldn´t trust a place that spells Nordic with a danish/norwegan "ö".

[@herrbonk3635]

@Mr Ex Or a play on the word nörd.

[@JoeOG]

ö isn't Danish/Norwegian though... they use ø. Sweden, Iceland, Finland and Germany use ö.

[@Faidros62]

@@JoeOG I am well aware of that. However my keyboard lack the o with a line thrue it. That´s why I refer to it as the danish/norwegan (version) of ö as they have identical sound values even if they look different.

[@Faidros62]

@@JoeOG And there are no ö (with dots or diagonals) in the word "nordisk" (ie. "nordic") in any of the Scandinavian languages

[@JoeOG]

@@Faidros62 You ær nöt å true nörd if yøu dœnt späll like this 😆. I'm a Swede btw, despite my un-Swedish name. But I have the àbïlìty tō üsë many different letters on my keybøãrd

[@Highbrass-ub5pd]

Kramfors stavas det. En metropol ;)

[@Merecir]

Unfortunate spelling of the place, Ø makes the name pronounced as nerd-ic.

[@herrbonk3635]

Perhaps not an accident.

[@mattiasakerblom3426]

i realets to that aswell. It spelled Norden in swedish(svenska.) Can’t imagine it spelled with ø or ö in Danish (dansk) or Norweigan. (Norsk)

[@mikkobrostrom]

hi im from sweden and i recomend you guys to try out the best pizza in sweden in huskvarna and the pizzeria is called biblos ..i promise you wont be disapointed

[@youremybiggestfan]

Im swedish believe it or not.. I love gravlax. I buy it weekly like year around.. one of the best foods i know. Anyways its expensive now adays 😞

[@ellesai7611]

Am from southern Swden and can comfirm; relatives tried to eat surströmming but hell no. Kroppaskaka is probably more common in the North.

[@benfoldsfunf4517]

Don't think so. Kroppkaka is most common in Småland and Öland.. In the north of Sweden they have a similar , but it is called Palt.

[@camaroboy76]

beef eggs crispbread water and spices there are Swedish meatballs

[@johankaewberg8162]

Palt outshines Kroppkaka.

[@graffzon]

Hasselbackspotatis ❤❤❤❤

[@fredriklarsson9415]

You forgot the R in Kramfors.

[@dooscrack2836]

Not much swedish in that food. Sorry bro but even wacky ikea food puts you closer too Sweden than that.

[@playa400]

im swedish and serving "swedish" meatballs without mash, lingoncream and cream sauce is a fukin crime....

[@ni88cke]

thats not the diffrent types of food that we sevve in Sweden, its a bad copy. Its a lot of thing thats missing and some components that shouldnt be there... im Swedish and a head chef

[@boek2777]

You are basically right but this is a restaurant that wants to be special/expensive. Something like 'Toast Skagen' is Swedish but adding international stuff/tastes is done to stand out.

[@eldaislami9865]

Can you do albanian food

[@TheDaNeece]

No way near any Swedish food I´d say. Have you ever been here? I doubt Adams been.. Like trying out French cuisine in Bankock.. No disrespect but rely on better sources.

[@scoobi1955]

What’s not swedish about this food? I don’t get it

[@ChristheBliz]

@@scoobi1955 The intent is right and the food looks delicious but the way it's presented and cooked is very far from how the normal swede would cook or present it. It's kind of like if you went to a burger joint that serves american burgers but the burger is boiled; the ingredients are there but the execusion isn't.

[@MrKryckan90]

Slightly disheartening that the Swedish guide doesn't seem to know that much about Swedish food....

[@uk82punkz]

no swedish food at all in there.

[@pehrastrom1760]

This is far from authentic swedesh food, might be tasty thou. You should try some rei deer o ther swedish game

[@Riob]

i do really hate your intro, way to high sound. pls change the sound .

[@camaroboy76]

its not Swedish meatballs you have im from sweden so i know

[@andreasekstrand4623]

Skagen is Danish

[@80012453]

Skagen is but toast Skagen and Skagenröra was created by Tore Wretman I e it is Swedish.
