Must Try Stockholm Foods! 1 Day Food Tour-Stockholm Sweden.

[@Asa...S]

Happy to hear you enjoyed visiting my home town, Stockholm! I just love watching non-Scandinavians try licorice with salmiak! It's so funny! Salmiak is the "salt", it's not ordinary table salt (Sodium chloride), but ammonium chloride. Yeah, it's really an aquired taste, I really like it

[@RobertClaeson]

It's saltier than salt.

[@livingphase2]

You have a wonderful Hometown and we did enjoy it very much. Love challenging ourselves with new tastes.

[@dlejon1044]

Im glad you enjoyed Stockholm. The Mushroom had payphones around its "stem" before, but payphones disappeared many years ago. So now it is just a big mushroom left.

[@livingphase2]

That makes more sense that it would be functional with phone booths

[@thevikmanstorpkitchen.403]

As a Swede I loved too see this. Stockholm was my hometown between 2001 and 2007❤

[@livingphase2]

We love Stockholm it was a wonderful surprise

[@tulaandtherabbittadventure19]

Omg. Nancy’s face was beyond hilarious.

[@livingphase2]

This is Nancy here and I’m I’m still shaking my head over that. Our guy just kept saying only eight seconds until it tastes better. It was the worst thing ever.

[@Henrik_Holst]

haha that face was priceless :), managed to get my sisters boyfriend who is French Canadian to also consume one of those last Christmas (myself I can eat a whole can). Fun fact is that the salt is not table salt but ammonium chloride, a compound that the EU wanted to put harsh limits on to protect food from being contaminated with a limit of 3grams per kg while Swedish liquorice have around 70grams per kg (and ofc the Svenskjävlar that you tested have a bit more than that), in the end Sweden got an exception since the consumption of liquorice was seen as so small that it should have no health impact on a nationwide basis.

Nice video! Great that you tasted hot dog with shrimp salad. It is a classic combination since long time ago here. 🇸🇪🌭We love it. 🙂🙃

[@livingphase2]

Love trying new things especially when they're a different combination

[@jonasedfeldt1127]

Nice to see people who like our capital and you welcome to visit our country anytime you want!

[@livingphase2]

Thanks for being so welcoming!

[@fromSweden4u]

Having a hamburger with shrimp salad has been a classic at Sibylla since the 1970s. It's called superstar with shrimp salad and has been on the menu for as long as I can remember.

[@livingphase2]

We're hearing that from lots of places in the world love learning about all that new food

[@ExclusivelyReclusive1]

Toast Skagen (the shrimp toast) is a classic, love it. It's easy to make to.

[@livingphase2]

It was great!

[@birgittae9046]

Hope you tasted some sweet licorice too. I like that better than the salty ones! 🙂

[@livingphase2]

We did you can see in one picture Nancy having a chocolate covered one. We tried all different kinds

[@birgittae9046]

@ Interesting, I have never tasted chokolate covered licorice. Did she like the sweet tasted licorice better?

[@John_Locke_108]

Been looking forward to this video ever since Mike teased the hot dog in the previous one.

[@livingphase2]

It has been a lot of fun trying so many hotdogs!😉

[@John_Locke_108]

@livingphase2 Back in my late twenties I invented my own variety if you're brave. You take a cooked hot dog, wrap it in a few slices of deli roast beef, and top it with a little sour cream. I even made a little jingle: Hot Dogs and roast beef living in harmony Some say it's funny I say it's yummy. Hot Dogs and roast beef living in harmony.

[@patti1044]

Have to admit loving my Icelandic salt licorice but it was not the saltiest and I ate it in tiny bites. One of our favorite excursions is a food tour with a local.

[@livingphase2]

That’s a great suggestion! We love food tours and often find the most interesting and authentic food experiences that way.

[@SHYsArt]

Yay Friday with Nancy and Mike yay, hugs.

[@GinetteSt-Onge-d2w]

I am so not brave enough to try all the foods that you both tried along the way! But it was interesting to follow along. Great video, thank you! 😁

[@livingphase2]

Thank you for sailing along with us

[@dianacarragher5845]

Hello Mike & Nancy that food hall was fantastic some of their food is different those meat balls looked good. I have done 3 cruises to the Baltic loved them so different I'm packing today board Queen Elizabeth on Monday for a 7 day Tassie adventure.

[@livingphase2]

We're so glad you enjoyed the food hall! We have never been to Tasmania, we hope to go!

[@greenbutterfly-8]

Lots of Fun Enjoy Thank You Sharing 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@livingphase2]

Thank you for watching!

[@TrekkingwithDebandMike]

Another great video

[@livingphase2]

We're so glad you enjoyed it!

[@ricmatify687]

Aquavit is a flavored liqueur made from grain or potatoes, usually containing cumin, dill, anis, and fänkål. Many different variants exist in herb/spice vise, and how they are stored. Very popular during Scandinavian holidays like midsummer, crayfish season, new year etc.

[@Narnendil]

Fänkål = fennel :)

[@lottawiklund8606]

Cumin (spiskummin) is not so common, I think, but caraway (kummin) definitely is.

[@livingphase2]

Hep can't wait to try some of them that we brought back

[@rolandgustafsson5655]

Hi thereThis was a great video😆Please come back 🔙another time (in the summer)😁Winter's here is terrible 🤧😕

[@livingphase2]

Done!

[@JaniceM0908]

I’m enjoying your journey so much!!

[@livingphase2]

Thanks for watching! We appreciate you following along! 🥰

[@livingphase2]

The salt covrered licorice is salmiak (ammonium chloride), which is on the rise of actually becoming the sitxth basic flavor. Salmiak is humongous in Scandinavia, Germany and the Netherlands. It sure is a palate divider just like Marmite and Vegemite. I llloooove salmiak and have a jar of it I dip dates in. I'm glad you enjoyed the food. Do try the svenska nubbar with fatty fish, or creamy food. We use it at feasts like Midsummer's, Crayfish festival, and Surströmming happenings as well. It really should be accompanied with a nubbe song, but no pressure... 😅 As for "fee-ka" (not "ficka" which means "pocket" in Swedish) I' m team cardamon roll, and the hot dog really should have been a "tunnbrödsrulle" which is a couple of thin hot dogs stuffed down a soft wheat tortilla type wrap (tunnbröd=thin bread) along with mashed potatoes, relish, and shrimp salad. A classic people eat after a night on the town waiting for the bus or subway back home. You only scratched the surfa e, so do come back if you get the chance. Great video.

[@livingphase2]

That's great information. And we are also team cinnamon roll to. Can't wait to come back and try even more of the wonderful Foods. By the way I loved your comment it was educational and very kind and polite helping us understand your country better. We really love those

[@AbsolutePernilla]

@livingphase2 thank you, happy to help. Ask away if you find new questions or thoughts. Exploring food is wonderful.

[@JohnCederdahl]

Shrimp salad is often eaten together with sausage and mashed potatoes wrapped in bread or as you had it, on top of the sausage.

[@livingphase2]

That's what we love learning about culture through food

[@locoloco1977]

Did they really say that they invented toast skagen? And great video👍

[@livingphase2]

We were told it was a minute by a chef in Stockholm many years ago

[@thevikmanstorpkitchen.403]

Fika= long i sound= coffebreak Ficka as you said means pocket.❤😅

[@livingphase2]

We work hard to try to get them right but it's very difficult to hit all of those particular vowel sounds. 😬

[@MegaUltraSuperDuable]

Actually all liquor stores (Systembolaget, despite being owned by the government) are not all the same in Sweden. Most of them have the same items for sale however, there are local variations. Some spirit producers only release their products locally and so.... You can find unique products in a lot of this stores (usually under the label "småskaligt och lokalt"... This means "small scale and local"). Ask the workers there and they can help you find this section in the store.

[@livingphase2]

That makes a lot of sense the people working the stores were very knowledgeable

[@theofficialandylaytonjames]

Where's that food hall please

[@HarrietUlrika]

It is called Östermalms Saluhall

[@livingphase2]

[@katymaloney]

Haha, the Finns have an alcoholic beverage version of salmiakki (that salty licorice).. it is by far the worse thing I ever did put in my mouth! xD Think Jagermeister, but thicker and salty... 🤮 I'd try and eat corned beef again before I touch salmiakki! xD

[@livingphase2]

Hey I love corned beef! 🤣🤣🤣

[@katymaloney]

@@livingphase2 Haha! To each their own... for me, I'm 40 and there are only two foods-/drinks I wasn't able to keep down in my whole life: my grandma's corned beef stew (RIP), and a shot of salmiakki liqueur. 😂 I'm sure corned beef can be good if prepared differently, and I'm just traumatized from my one bad experience... but nothing will save the liqueur. Just horrible. 🤣

[@livingphase2]

@@katymaloney Now it really makes me want to try it! 🤣🤣🤣
