When I heard her saying diping the pankakes in to the Ärtsoppa my swedish heart stoped. DO NOT dip the pankake in the soup. That is like diping pizza in to the pasta water.

If you dip pancake in the soup or commit any other culinary war crimes, Sweden's own super detective Leif GW Persson will track you down like a bloodhound. You'll then be handed over to Edward Blom, who will do unspeakable things to you.

I appreciate her efforts to pronounce the Swedish words, I would even give it a pass ... ... except "ärtsoppa" ... I had to take a double-take on that one. She didn't butcher the word, she mashed the letters together into something unrecognizable that made me laugh out loud in pure distress. Amazing.

Ärtsoppa med Fläsk(Peasoup with pork) is a military tradition since dried peas and dried pork was easy to store. It has been combined with pancakes and jam to give something sweet to balance the otherwise rather basic meal. We often spice up the peasoup with mustard and pepper.

[@yeyhello1]

Ew, We don’t dip our pancakes into the pea soup, the pancakes Is “efterrätt” which mean we eat it after we finish the soup, and we definitely don’t eat it every Thursday, some restaurants serves it maybe once a month on a Thursday, same with schools. Pyttipanna is not a “breakfast hash”. We don’t eat warm food for breakfast, maybe bacon and scrambled eggs on Saturdays. Standard breakfast is sandwich with cheese or ham with tomato or cucumber slices on top and a cup of coffee. Pyttipanna is for lunch or dinner at the evening. So funny that people outside of Sweden think meatballs, hard bread and pickled herrings is all we got 😂

[@kricku]

I think the americans know what dessert is 😁

[@catd11ng74]

It's a BIG no no to dipping the panncake in the peasoup. Never ever do that. You eat the panncake as a dessert after the peasoup. You eat the panncake with any jam you like and whipped cream.

When I first heard the so-so pronunciation of köttbullar, I had hope. My ears are still hurting from the announcer's version of ãrtsoppa och pannkakor. She did a pretty good job with most dishes, why did she do such a horrible job with that one?

[@jacobclark5360]

One of these days I will try it, but when I was little I was scared of lutefisk. I was about five or so when I realized my maternal grandparents kitchen was different. I asked my grandpa "Why is there a big metal plate on your kitchen wall (when no one else has one)?" He laughed for about 30 seconds and then proceeded to explain to me that was where my grandma had spilled the lye while making lutefisk one day. Unfortunately she stopped making it shortly after that, and rarely made any other Nordic treats. She supposedly loved it, but after that fateful accident the only thing she ever made again with any frequency was lefse. My paternal grandmother was also of Norwegian heritage but the opposite and absolutely hated even the thought of Lutefisk. I mentioned it in passing to her once, she made a gagging noise and in the only time I've ever seen her threaten a grandchild, she told me to never bring it up again. 🤣 Unfortunately both of my grandmother's parents (and parents parents) were of immigrant stock who believed in almost complete assimilation into American culture, so most traditions and language were not passed down to us.

[@Asa...S]

1:52 Pyttipanna isn't breakfast food, that's lunch or dinner! 3:24 That's fermented herring=surströmming. That's not the same thing as picked herring! You would't have surströmming on the smörgåsbord, or anywhere indoors at all. Very few eat it at all, and it's often just eaten once a year, in August. 3:30-3:59: This is pickled herring. That's a very common dish, on Christmas, Easter, Midsommer and so on. 4:00 Lutfisk is just eaten on Christmas, by a very small number of old people. I think it's one of the traditional dishes that will soon be completely gone from the Christmas smörgåsbord. 5:00 "Archopo ouch pacoukor"... If I hadn't seen the images, I would have no idea what she was trying to say, even if I she would've said it a 1000 times. Just say "pea soup and pancakes", and don't dip the pancakes in the peasoup! Imagine if someone did a video about US food and someone was like "It's common in the US to have chicken soup when sick, and you will feel so much better after dunking some sugar glaced donuts in the soup", I think everyone would be like "What is she talking about...?!" 6:50 Don't think ostkaka and cheesecake is variants of the same dish, they're completely different, they just happen to share a name. So don't eat ostkaka thinking you're having "Swedish cheesecake" because it's not. I consider "ostkaka" to be breakfast food (even if it's nice as a dessert too), but i would never have cheesecake for breakfast, that's just odd.

[@ReyOfLight]

I’m Swedish and while I call most or all these things regular food that I have regularly, lingonberry is something I don’t eat XD lingonberry ruins a perfectly good plate of meatballs! And I don’t eat fish, so pickled herring, lutfisk and other fish is a no go for me! Crayfish is really nice though, and I really like smörgåstårta is really good as long as it doesn’t have tuna in it or mussels or crab or imitation crab because I just don’t like those things. I prefer smörgåstårta with a lot of shrimp and eggs on it, and some ham and such. It’s an extra bonus if there’s a decent amount of dill as well. Kladdkaka is awesome! I tend to describe it as a mix between lava cake and brownie because it’s more firm than a lava cake unless you really underbake it, but way more runny than a brownie. Goes great with vanilla ice cream and strawberries or raspberries, or whipped cream and strawberries or raspberries, or just ice cream or whipped cream. The ice cream or whipped cream is really nice to round off the chocolate flavor a bit so it doesn’t get too overwhelming. Kladdkaka can be pretty intense in flavor and a pretty dense cake to eat if you eat it on its own. If you order Kladdkaka at a cafe sometime you might think it’s a very small slice you get, until you start eating the cake and realize how decadent it is, a little goes a long way when it comes to kladdkaka, though that being said, the recipe I have been using lately when I make Kladdkaka at home, is not as dense and filling so with that particular recipe it’s not a problem to take a bigger slice of cake and still avoid the food coma. Ostkaka is glorious as well! And it’s especially good with whipped cream and a bit of saftsoppa. It’s one of my favorite Swedish desserts, only I don’t have it very often, usually only around Christmas time even though it’s available all year. Semla is really amazing as well, it’s so simple yet so delicious! At the moment you can even find Semla made with the S shaped saffron buns we traditionally eat for Lucia day here. I bought such a Semla recently and it was sooooooo good! And if you ever visit Sweden or go to the IKEA food store around Christmas, try Julmust if you can find some! If I remember it right, it was made as an alternative to beer for people who either don’t like beer or can’t or don’t want to drink alcohol. It’s by far my favorite beverage (followed by Pepsi Max) and I do a happy dance when the Julmust arrives in the stores in October each year. Trocadero is another beverage that I can highly highly recommend you try, it’s really good and apparently a mix between orange and apple in flavor. Portello is another really amazing beverage, a bit like caramel in flavor. And yes, all 3 are available in sugar free versions as well and they’re just as good (imo even better) than the sugar loaded version. If you happen to come across a soda called Guldus, you’ve struck literal gold! It’s so damn good! If you can’t find Guldus but want to get an idea what it tastes like, take clear ready to drink apple juice (that is a bit too concentrated so you feel the need to water it down some) and fill a glass about 2/3, then fill the rest of the glass with carbonated water
