The butter doesn’t stay on a regular metal knife but it does on a butter knife on wood or something. So it makes it much easier to put the butter on the bread :) 🇸🇪

Fun fact about a shoehorn. I'm a Swede and one of my old shoehorn was made from wood. It is a long version and has an inscription (painted text) "Skona din sko och spara din rygg". That translates to: preserve your shoe and save your back. The obvious no 1 reason for shoehorn is to make your shoe last longer, no 2 get the shoe easier and faster on to your foot, no 3 the length able people who otherwise are not able to put their shoes on without help. Other things I appreciate as a Swede that I suspect is not common in other countries. Allemansrätten. Areas with stillness. Clean air / water. Archipelago of east coast. Sail from Norrköping to Västervik is great. Anchor and set up a grill, share a meal at an unhabituated island is the best thing I ever experienced.

Hallo from Norway, söta bror! This was a fun video to watch! The scandinavians def. has a lot in common, but still some differences! =) I eat knekkebrød every day, so I'm very thankful to the swedes! Although we don't have the same relationship to the butter knife i don't think.. I usually see them in big gatherings, but never just at someones home. The shoe horns are for old ppl in my opinion;) I like the friendly banter between Norway and Sweden, kinda like siblings. We have the jokes about swedes being dumb( and they have the exact same jokes about us). When I was attending an international school in Mozambique, there were people from all over the world. I made a swedish friend. We would make fun of each other, but if any one else tried to have a go at us, we would defend each other.

Thank you for a really collaborative - and fun show.. My Five-cents for the "Butter-Knife" is that it is shared (not like your own knife which you use like in other countries). And since the knife is shared you want the guests to be able to differ this shared knife from your own... And the reasoning behind this is that you dip this knife in a shared butter storage and don't want the residues from the other guys ordinary knifes in the buttercup...

[@raVen670]

Thank you both for another great video! I find the discussion of differences between the US and Sweden regarding work-life balance and the sense of being taken care of really interesting. There is a saying that originates from the Social Democracy and arbetarrörelsen (swedish labour movement) that I think captures this from the Swedish perspective and it goes: "Gör din plikt, kräv din rätt" which translates to "Do your duty, demand your rights". The meaning is that when you are able to: work hard, and pay your (albeit high) taxes. And when you need it: demand the support from the government that you are entitled to. This is the foundation of what is refered to as "Samhällskontraktet", the unspoken "deal" between the citizen and the government that ensures tax income for the government and a well functioning health care system, school, police etc. for the people. For me personally (I know this is somewhat political) this gives me that sense of "peace" or "freedom" that you talk about as a factor to the nordic countries being the happiest on the world.

[@linneae2088]

I thought the discussion about how the safety system in Sweden actually creates freedom (since I feel like many discussions about high taxes only takes away freedom) was really spot on 👏🏻

This video slid under my radar until now, what a fun video! As a Swede living an hour outside of Minneapolis it was great hearing her perspectives :) Yours too of course :) I felt like the adaption between Sweden and Minnesota was so easy because it is close enough to eachother to easily feel like home. The biggest "like home" moment for me was when we were hauling lumber and some fell off in the middle of a road intersection and 3-4 cars stopped and randomly helped us both stopping traffic safely and get the lumber back onto the truck. Nobody angry honked or anything; people just helped out and it's what norrland would've done too. I also feel like the "leave celebrities alone" phenomenon was true for Prince too from the stories I've heard of him riding his bike around. As for smörkniv I never got into depending on them. I like the wooden ones because its cozy and they aren't as bottom heavy either like regular knives tend to be but I've always just used regular knives for my spread. I think IKEA sells them though so I'm sure they could find them there no matter where in the world they are. :)

The thing about shoehorns. If you look at a video with an american (USA) running, jumping or doing some sort of trick and fail, they often lose one of their shoes. I think that is because they just push the shoes on without tying them properly. And that makes the shoe streched out.

Travel time is not only dependant on the size of the city ofc, it's also about infrastructure. I used to live in Beijing together with another 25 milion people and it never ever took me 2.5 hours to get anywhere, because they have functioning public transport (I lived in the south-east part and my place of work was in the north-west part). Most of the time I got where I was going within an hour. By geographical size Beijing is about the same size as the complete region of Skåne. Metro circle lines ftw! Also, Stefan Lövén didn't get kicked out. He choose to quit because he couldn't be bothered sitting in a minority governmental position negotiating another budget he didn't actually support. PS. Big congrats on the 100k subs! Next video= playbutton unpacking video? DS.

'Smökniva' -> 's(ch)mear knife' in English. Every New Yorker would immediately know what that looks like and what it's for. A bagel 'with a smear' means a bagel with cream cheese spread on it. There's a wide-bladed knife that's used to spread the cream cheese :-)

[@hanskilsved4442]

What do you think about Nordic cheese slicers? Do they have those in the US? Personally, I think that the cheese slices become too thin and that a regular knife or a cheese planer with wire is much better?

Vore intressant att höra om Portlands historia.

Hmm.. comparing Minneapolis maybe the twice the size of Stockholm is really strange. We can handle some traffic, no problem!

As a Swede I can say I eat knäckebröd quite rarely. But the smörkniv is great. You know you get a big juicy slice of your favorite bread, shoe horn that smörkniv into the Bregott and dab it onto the bread then add Kalles Kaviar or whatever else. A butter knife is a smörkniv for ants ;) Hope more americans visit Sweden. Seems everyone going here really enjoys it, so welcome to all of you :)

We want more videos!, 2 of my favourite Swedish americans.

For me I use the shoehorn so I don't damage the backside of the shoe if I try to force my foot in to the shoe, as I don't like to tie a new knot everytime I can't get my foot inside the shoe without like pushing down my foot in to it and if I do that without a shoehorn I will crush the back flap down and the padding etc in there will get destroyed after a while , The shoehorn protects me from pushing that padding down under my foot when I put the shoe on. Hope I could explain my reasoning for using the shoehorn ^^

[@athena12373]

Fun video. I’ve never used a shoehorn in my life!!! I’m 47… my husband doesn’t use one either 🤔.

[@toshlerner8975]

Can you do a show about American musicians and American-fronted bands based in Sweden?? I know there are actually several. I just stumbled on this band Barbarisms and saw it's an American guy based in Sweden, and they are really good

[@asherstelton7828]

Ah they are actually really good. But Lee Hazelwood was probably the best American to ever record in Sweden tho he moved back and now he's passed away
