The potatoes is a premade potato gratin. You need to put in an oven safe container and cook in the oven for 15-20 minutes until it gets golden brown'ish.

[@t-man78]

​@@CodeySimon If you don't have the time to do make your own, I quite like "Garant" (a brand, found at Willys and Hemköp) köttbullar, can be bought either frozen or refrigerated. They should be fried in butter though, until crisp. 😊 Now, I have to ask. What's that powder you made gravy out of, and where did you find it? Never seen one you just mix with water like that. Thanks for an entertaining video! 😀

[@t-man78]

About lingonberries, go for Felix "rårörda lingon", which is not just a mushy jam, it actually has whole lingonberries in it, or better yet - buy one frozen package (250 gram) of lingonberries (can be found in basically any store, not very expensive at all, 20 SEK or so). Put the frozen berries in a glass jar, add about 1,5-2 dl of sugar. Stir, and let it sit in the fridge 24-48 hrs, until the sugar has dissolved. Enjoy! 😊

[@suilegew]

Princess cake is my favorite too. Kroppkaka I like slicing the in half and frying them in salted butter, so the potato get crispy edges... They should be served with clarified butter and lingonberry jam

[@Passioakka]

The green stuff on the Princess cake is marsipan. We have almond paste, a more ruff version of marsipan and then marsipan which is smoother with a finer grinding of the almonds and more sugar in it. Vanilla custard and jam as a filling and whipped cream beneath the marsipan, a Swedish classic "tårta". Tårta is when a cake has layers with filling, decorated with marsipan, jelly and/or cream and decorations and what we mostly eat for birthdays and major weekends like a midsumer party (canilla cake with custard, strawberry jam, decorated with whipped cream and strawberries), Easter weekend and maybe New Years Eve. For X-mas we usually eat more traditional desserts like struvor - a sort of funnel cake, ginger bread and fruit cake. Also a lot of homemade candy like toffee, fudge, chocolates and marsipan-candy.

[@CodeySimon]

Oh right its marsipan! Thats what it’s so good! I actually had a cheeky one yesterday, I’m obsessed! I’ll have to try all of these other things you have mentioned! Thanks for your help. I appreciate it alot ! Hope you’re having a lovely week

[@swedishmetalbear]

@@CodeySimon Yes!! It is! The best one you'll find in the jam section. And it is Änglamark Rårörda Lingon.. It is a staple with any swedish cuisine. Common throughout Scandinavia and Finland with food.. Not so much in Denmark though. My mom always takes the boiled kroppkaka.. And refries the outside in butter.. So it gets a bit crispy..

You should've gotten the real falukorv and fried it in a pan! It's often eaten with cheap macaroni and ketchup, or in korvstroganov which is a tomato-y, creamy sauce with chopped falukorv strips in it served on top of rice.

[@CodeySimon]

I have just filmed my next food video and I think I found the real one, I cooked it up in a "straganoff" style sauce! i really appreciate your input :) thanks

[@fdk7014]

The shrimps in brine is typically used for a shrimp sandwich (a piece of white bread toast, some mayo, a leaf of lettuce, a sliced egg and a mountain of shrimp. Garnish with more mayo and a twig of dill) or a sandwich cake which is something you need to discover

[@loris-bismar]

When it comes to drinks, Flädersaft (elderberry or elderberrybloom cordial, both are good. It's extract and should combined with water or it will be very very sweet).

[@larka742]

Slice the "falukorv" but not all the way through, many cuts - a cm between each. Its still hanging together Put ketchup och mustard in each slice and cheese on top of it all. Put it all in the owen until the cheese is coloured and serve with mashed potatoes.

[@CodeySimon]

That sounds delicious ! I’ll have to try it this way! Thanks for the tip! Hope you have a great week 👍

[@Jormvngandr]

@@CodeySimon There are a few versions of the dish that @larka742 mentions, its just that the toppings differ. One version uses thinly sliced tomatoes, onions and cheese. you stack the ingredients like a skewer and then bake in the oven (220c, i think) until the onions is soft and the cheese is starting to melt and become golden brown.

[@larka742]

@@Jormvngandr And you can put about everything around the sausage as well, red onions works great, vegetables. Easy food...boiling the potatoes cant go wrong, boiling too long cant happen as you are into mashing them after. And the sausage is almost the same, it doesnt really need to be cooked and having it longer in the oven is quite good too (as long the toppings dont get burned) - so its flexible

[@Jormvngandr]

@@larka742 Fellow Swede here, so I'm well aware how versatile Falukorv are 😉 As long as he makes the mash with room warm butter, milk (the one with high fat content) salt, freshly grounded black pepper and just a tiny amount of nutmeg, he basically can't go wrong

[@t-man78]

Yes, there are many variations of oven fried falukorv, but I would say that there always have to be sliced yellow onion, mustard (I prefer a 50/50 mix of "skånsk senap" and dijon), and cheeze, then you can add tomatoes, ketchup, sliced apples etc etc, but these three key ingredients should always be there 😊

[@Piratskeppet]

Adding a big hot dog bun to the sausage is not far from a thing we do. Parisare med bröd is basically a big falukorv in a hamburger bun with burger condiments, but you may have to travel north of Stockholm to find it in the stores or fast food restaurants.

I grew up in Mora and Falun (and guess where the falukorv originally comes from? 😊), and if you ask me, lingonberries with the falukorv would be sacrilege 😱 Fried (sliced) falukorv should be served with macaroni, ketchup, mustard and pickled cucumber (I prefer saltgurka, salty pickled cucumber), or maybe Bostongurka (pre-made finely diced pickled cucumber, with pieces of pickled, red bell pepper - God knows why we call it Bostongurka = Boston cucumber). That's it, maybe some green salad and tomatoes, but no lingonberries, please! 😅

Dice onion and cut sausage into staves. Fry off the onion. On medium high heat until translucent.. Then add your sausage.. Fry until the sausage starts getting some colour.. Then add condiments. First tomato paste.. Let it fry a couple minutes on its own.. It makes a better flavour. add mustard. Stock cube and water. Once the stock cube is completely dissolved. Add a dash of worcestershiresauce.. and your creme fraiche. A dash of cayenne.. And salt and pepper to taste. (white pepper is better tasting and more authentic in stroganoff than black pepper). Serve preferably with rice... Pasta in second hand. Some people like it with boiled potatoes or mash..

[@swedishmetalbear]

For the baked brown beans. They come in the cold ready made food asection in a plastic sausage. And it says "Bruna Bönor" on it.. They are already pressure cooked and just need heated up.. I add a tablespoon of mustard, salt, white pepper, a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar or white wine vinegar to it.. And drizzle some molasses over it. Molasses can usually be found in the sugar and flour section of the store and it says "Ljus Sirap" or "Mörk Sirap" on it. Mix well. salt and pepper and vinegar syrup to taste *until the sweet and sour is balanced to your liking. The potato cakes are in the freezer section among the fries usually. They are called "Rösti" and look like little triangles. You just put them on a paper lined baking sheet in the oven until crispy.. And fry the sausage in thin circles. I usually cut the sausage in three different places along the outer circumference so it fries more evenly or the sausage tends to puff up on one side..

falokorv ------- you cut them onecs and fry it in the pan and have macarones and ketchup cheese and onions kroppkaka ....... lingon jam bacon and cream and butter

[@kennyjansson7677]

You bought a few things with the label "Basic" printed on the package and that´s just what they are, basic. They are the cheep version, there are better versions available in the same store.

You eat metballs with lingonberry and pickled cucumber. Often you have mashed potatoes with them and a creamy ”brown sauce”. Or meatballs, macaroni and ketchup 🤣 Kroppkakor you preferraby eat sliced and fried i a pan. And then top them with melted butter. You can have lingonberry with that too.

[@CodeySimon]

there is so much variety in these dishes! I have just recorded my next video and I pan fried the kroppkakor, and OMG! what a revelation!!!

u need to watch a swedish movie called Fäbodjäntan.

[@ronnyschwartz5362]

Try surströmming!

[@CodeySimon]

I already have my friend! It was not my favourite haha, but you can find it in my playlist “a series of tales” lots of fun, until I tried the fish

[@stenbrott666]

there sure is some cool things you can do with a falukorv but i dont think you want to know about that part of swedish history,

[@CodeySimon]

Oh now, this is interesting. I would like to know more haven’t found myself googling the history of this thing, but nothing shows up :-)

[@stenbrott666]

@@CodeySimon its used as a dildo in a really classic swedish porno movie called Fäbodjäntan made in the 70s. i think every adult in sweden knows about it and there is even a radio documentary about it produced by public service radio.

[@Erikirs]

I believe stenbrott refers to Fäbojäntan. I suggest you refrain from exploring that further 😅

[@zXSleeZy]

@@CodeySimon Lmao, he's messing with you, just like the commentor earlier said, he's most likley refering to the movie fäbojäntan. Check it out, or don't up to you. :D

Daim was once spelled Dime in Sweden, when I was a kid during the 80's. But I guess we pronounced it wrong and they wanted to sound English they change the spelling to the swenglish variant Daim. And for Ölandskroppkakor... yummy You pronounced kexchoklad correct by the way and dont let the people who thinks its pronounced like in chexchocklad say otherwise. Let the war begin lol Just kidding. There is two pronouncations of this waffer chocolate treat and yes we do fight about it lol. And your almost ate surströmming the correct way. Well you did, the preparation was however not. Thats why it tasted really bad. You have to open it up under water and kinda in a sense clean the fermentation juice getting the fish before eating it.

[@KyuzouTV]

actually it was"Dajm" in the 80's

[@CodeySimon]

Those damn English aye! always changing things up My pronunciation is still pretty bad but I’m working on it. Thanks for the tips. I almost ate this straw wrong, and thank you for the tips, but I think I will never try that ever again, unless by chance it pops up and there is no preparation done by myself. Thanks for the chat and talk to you soon buddy

[@mikaelkarlsson4178]

Try Swedish Street food.

[@CodeySimon]

What does that entail? I haven’t really come across much of it! Street food is always the best

[@jurgen4466]

Halv special Hot dog with mashed potatoes topped with condiments such as ketchup, mustard, pickles, and roasted onions Tunnbrödsrulle flatbread (tunnbröd) that is wrapped around grilled or boiled sausages. Usual condiments include mashed potatoes, AND IMPORTANT including RÄKSALLAD shrimp-and-mayonnaise salad, onions, lettuce, and ketchup or mustard. Grilled mashed burgers with cheese caramelliserad onion, mustard, dressing, Kebabpizza Hawaii pizza Sweet and Jimmy food all of them

[@spacemaker8760]

Thoese are chicken meatballs. You picked the wrong thing again. No swede ever eats potato gratin with meatballs. Just boiled potato or homemade mash woud have been exelent. And you always have Lingonberrys and a kind of pickled sliced cucumber called "Pressgurka" with it, The sause shoud be "Brunsås" = Brownsause but i prefer "Gräddsås" thats Creamsause in Swedish. I laughed out loud when i got that you forgot to coock the gratin. I know the text on the packaging are in Swedish but it says on it to cook it the oven on 200 defrees for 20 minutes.

[@CodeySimon]

I was so unaware that I bought the wrong kind of potato! so many people have corrected me :) i'm glad you got a laugh out of it. talk soon friend :)

[@morgansjodin4859]

lingon berries to both of the first dishes! ..btw your camera is mirrored..and allways butter on bread.. allways!!

Don’t forget the butter! I’m a fool haha! I should know this! Yes, I have a new camera, still sorting it out but thanks for letting me know :) thanks for stopping by

what the f did he do to the sauce lol

[@CodeySimon]

Look! I’m not even sure I know 😅😂

[@MarcusEriksson-s8s]

Melted butter!

[@stiglarsson8405]

You bought potato gratin.. to use with steaks, its easyer to do one by one self, and it taste better! Boil potatos and make a mach of them to meatballs, one ad butter and cream, salt an pepper! Nobody over 5 years old eat food with fingers, use fork and knife.. as an adult, there should be melted butter to the kroppkakor! The fork shuold stay in your left hand, the knife in your right.. otherwise, your a child or an "American", and you dont like to be seen as one of them? Its chicken variant of "Falukorv", how is a staple food, cut it in slices and fry it serv vith fryed eggs at breakfast or lunch! Make a whole Falukorv to dinner for a whole family, serv with mashed potatos! The shrimps is for doing a "räkmacka", (open shrimp sandvich) first take a bread rye or toast, butter, sliced hardboild egg, some lettuce and a lot of mayo, squese a bit lemon on the shrimps! Its not prawns, its shrimps! The shrimpsallat is to use with hotdogs! Preferaly "halv special" its a hotdog in a hotdog bread with poato mach on top! And one get a fork and knife (plastic) at the hotdog stand.. guess whats they is for???

[@CodeySimon]

hey, thanks for getting back to me! i'm sure all of the food is better homemade but I don't have much time to be preparing things, and well that even goes into getting cutlery from the draw! aint nobody got time for that 🤣 thanks for the tips, i really appreciate it! the shrimpsallat on hotdogs sounds like a great combination! also, we don't say shrimp in australia, we call them prawns.. only funny americans say shrimp haha talk soon friend :)

[@stiglarsson8405]

@@CodeySimon You got a lot of useful coments.. on how to use typical swedish grocery items.. and there combinations! And you bought typical swedish "halvfabrikat" = "half prepared?" stuff that you can find in many swedish homes! But any swede know how to combine those to a typical swedish tasty meal.. kinda IKEA meatballs dish! Its rather this, go to a typical swedish lunch resturantes in office/factory lunch time.. its always at least one typical "Husmanskost", and one or two "international"! However, in typical tourist areas one only find "swedish meatballs" at a high price.. but then they often make the effort to make them there self and serv it with the right combination! Sooo, "husmanskost"/"lunch meals"/highway truckers meal/home made meals, its a pletora of good and bad meals! However, soo even if we reinvented both Pizza/ Texmex food (taco friday)/India food.. or combine those, like banana and curry or kebab pizza.. its still this.. fancy food in a resturante is in the moste cases fresh food, fish and other seafood is expensive becuse they kinda need to be fresh frome the sea! And then.. my visit to Gotland, the island of sheepes.. I have never ever eaten more mutton then in Gotland frome New Zeeland! In anyway swedish "Husmanskost"; kzbin.info/www/bejne/rmXRdZd7j96jgKs&ab_channel=FunSwedish
