A thought - In central Stockholm you find either street food or fancy restaurants. If you want to try food that the average Swede would eat I'd reccomend you to find a "blue collar" lunch restaurant. Or look for the word "husmanskost" (you will find it in a truckers diner). Not sure how many Swedes that would eat "gravlax" for lunch or supper...

[@HerrBrutal-bl2fk]

@@danielpalmberg3371 How true. If you want to experience genuine Swedish food, visit a lunchrestaurang! Same goes for most countries. Go to the places where locals go. Before finding out what real Italian food was like, I wasted tons of money and way too much time doing tourist traps. Then, Italian friends I made took me to restaurants out of this world. Later, they came and visited me in Sweden, where we feasted on moose, reindeer, yellow pea soup/ärtsoppa, cold smoked pork belly and oven-baked pike (and a lot of salubrious beverages).

Köttbullar/meatball is very polular in Sweden! But its something you have eaten since kindergarden and also very popular kids food so i think the average Sweed just prefer to eat something else when going out. Also Sweden have a big variation of cuisine so if you want to eat köttbullar during lunch you just have to found a restaurant that serve more traditional Swedish food, or at least is not i thai, indian, Lebanese restaurant so on. If you want to try something really fancy then try a Wallenbergare! Think of a gigantic meatball but lot more fancy (ingridient wise)!

Fried herring with mash is also a staple in Finland and so is knäckebröd (näkkileipä). Pickled, fried herring is a thing in Sweden but not fried, pickled herring. Fried salted herring is an old traditional dish.

[@57thorns]

Worth pointing out is that the herring used in Finland and the Eastern part of Sweden that is fried is Baltic Herring (in Swedish strömming). It lives in the brackish water of the Baltics and is smaller than its North Sea/Atlantic cousin. There is definitely a difference, even if the technical difference is where the fish is landed.

As others have pointed out, most Swedes won't order meat balls at a restaurant. I don't. What I order is typically the posh version of them, called Wallenbergare. They are bigger, slightly flattened meat balls made of minced veal, whipped cream and egg yolk. Meatballs is something you make yourself or buy at the grocery store and just heat in your pan. And we actually often eat them with pasta and ketchup!

[@snaxon]

@@HerrBrutal-bl2fk No, a lunsjpakke is the main meal for lunch in Norway. Fika in general is a coffe brake, that you can have even without a baked goods OR with tea (!). ThaIn sweden we have coffee several times a day… but you can have fika for breakfast! Normally a fika brake can be a couple of hours into the workday (before lunch), and then after lunch, later in the afternoon, after dinner and even lateer in the evening. We drink A LOT of coffee here in Sweden. But to meet up for ”fika” will generally happen in the afternoon and then you sit down for a coffee, some sweet treat like a bulle or cake and a real chat.

[@HerrBrutal-bl2fk]

@@snaxon Perhaps I didn't make myself clear. Lunsjpakke is often a rather filling meal, so therefore most Norwegians don't have room for a fika around 2 hours before and/or after lunch. But sometimes they manage to squeeze in a Kvikk Lunsj (similar to Kit Kat).

[@matshjalmarsson3008]

Traditional meatballs are made quite small, which is a bit more work, so not as cost effective for restaurants. For a similar experience you can try "pannbiff" which is the same mix but made larger and thus don't stay round but ends up more like a Hamburger patty

If you are not done testing Swedish food. Here are some suggestions: **Toast skagen** would be my top recommendation too. (Done) **Köttbullar** (meatballs) are of course a classic, as are **raggmunk** and **råraka** (two kinds of potato pancakes, served savoury), **ärtsoppa** (pea soup), and **pyttipanna** (diced and fried potatoes, onion and sausage, usually with a fried egg and pickled beetroots on the side). Fish in **pepparrotsås** (horseradish sauce) or dillsås (dill sauce) can also be very good. Various dishes with kantareller (chantarelle mushrooms) are a seasonal favorite. **Västerbottenpaj** is a nice pie with famous Västerbottensost cheese. Nicer restaurants often have moose, reindeer or dear meat. **Gratäng** is a baked single-dish meal, my favorite is fiskgratäng med moss (with fish and potato puree). **Janssons frestelse** is classic Christmas gratäng with anchovies. **Kålpudding** is another home classic, shredded cabbage baked with minced meat and rice. **Smörgåstårta** is a classic for any cellebration, it's basically a "layered cake" made out of bread and things you'd put on a sandwich. One quite exotic dish I like and haven't seen anyone else mention yet is **nypponsoppa**. It's a sweet soup made out of rose hips.

"Köttbullar" is "husmanskost" = traditional home cooked food! There is resturantes in bigger citys that specialise on it for tourists. And its often served at lunch resturantes as "dagens rätt", the meal of the day.. typical at mondays! Herring is popular and used in many forms.. becuse we are sourunded by herring rich waters! Its in moste case "Baltic herring" that becomes "Stekt strömming", served at wednseday, and "atlantic herring" that become pickled "Sill"! Becuse at the atlantic shoreline we tend to eat more "stekt makrill" = fried makerell! Soo for fun.. our traditional "husmanskost"/home cooked meals.. thirsday is fried pork, with brown beans or onion sauce! (White beans is actulay tastier)! Thursday is "Ärtsoppa med fläsk" and "pannkakor med sylt" as desert! And if one was in the military back then a glass of Punch especialy in the Navy! Friday is on the end of the week.. it could mean different, its dependent on if one got the salary yet.. fresh fish like cod or havock with eggsause, or liver caserol.. in worste case "pölsa med rödbetor och ägg"! Pölsa is minced liver and kidney mixed with Barley, it dont look nice, it dont taste bad, its high in nutrients, and its the condiments that make it "a whole meal"! Saturday and Sunday is mixed cases.. but if one have got ones salary.. one could make it a bit "fancyer" on the weekend! Today "Taco Friday" is wery popular in homes with children.. becuse parents are exhausted, the kids can chose and pick, its easy to make.. all ingrediens is there at the store.. just buy and fry up some minced meat, put in some prepacked herb mixes!

Regarding kebab being so common in Sweden and Finland. What I've understood is that many of the Turkish and/or Kurdish immigrants who came to northern Europe in late 80's and 90's started kebab shops which made the food really widely available. Might be other reasons as well, but this definitely is one. Also in restaurants, you are more likely to find meatballs from the kids menu. Generally they are more home food as many here already mentioned.

Gravad lax, although younger than knäckebröd which has been around for millenias, is also a very old Swedish delicacy. Back in the day they used to bury the salmon to ferment it "hence the name grav = grave" and has been around since at least the 1300s. The modern recipe hails from the 16-1700s. The taste is much different from the old recipe, which would be more close to surströmming than anything else. Most certainly one of my favorites from the Swedish cuisine if i had to chose.

The knäckebröd (the crisp bread) is basic in Swedish cuisine. The sound, when you took a bite in it, sounded like it had absorbed the moisture in the air, and wasn't as crispy as it should've been.

One thing you might get at IKEA that you didn't show in the video is Kladdkaka. Could be done at home, it's like a chocolate sticky cake that usually women die for. Especially pregnant women usually crave for it and men get hit in the head if they forget to stock up enough. So that's why I'm single I guess. I don't wanna get hit in the head with a shovel. 🤣 That fish soup with aioli seems to be very Italian to me. Never heard of it in my life. Mussels or aioli isn't exactly Swedish. Swedes have mostly stolen every food tradition from elsewhere. For example every friday is "Taco night" were you serve tacos and burritos. But ye anything with potatoes and meat (or fish) is usually Scandinavian or Finnish. 😀 Thank you for sharing your journey. It's fun to see how other people reacts to your country. Hope you guys post more videos! Thanks again! 😀

Thank you so much for the information :)

I can promise you that most Swedes would rather eat a BigMac at "Donken" than pay a fortune for a shrimp sandwich in the tourist trap Hötorgshallen.

[@JacobandJennyTravel]

Oh wow haha!! Good to know!! Thanks for the information :)

A lesson about meatballs in Sweden, not all meatballs taste the same, as you can vary their seasoning. When it comes to the beer, and she said she prefers light beer, in the US you can't make good beer that tastes good. If you want to drink Swedish beer and get good beer, you should choose beer from what we in Sweden call micro breweries, as they do not produce large quantities of beer. They make a smaller amount of beer, but then have higher quality and tastier beer. Since darker beers are more flavorful than lighter beers.

[@gudagaava]

You are referring to the most popular American beers. But there are plenty of good beers in the US, and quite a few are available at Systembolaget. Microbreweries are also very common in the US.

[@JacobandJennyTravel]

Next time that would be awesome!! All the food was so delicious :)

[@mniable]

Btw. That is stuff is not caviar, or had anything to do with caviar. It seems to be just basic and very affordable salmon roe. Next time you visit Finland, try the roe from Muikku, its a small sweet water fish. That roe is small and tasty. :)

[@JacobandJennyTravel]

That is good to know!! Thanks for the information :)

[@eriknilsson1431]

20krs for a snaps? Really?! As a resident in Stockholm, I pay way more when in the city . You got some kind of Tourist Discount or something?😂

[@JacobandJennyTravel]

Oh no haha! That is a bummer! Thanks for the information :)

[@maximus08-rk5cz]

Did you try RäkSmörgås? Please do if you can😉

[@thomaspettersson7955]

20 kr was probably for one centiliter

[@maximus08-rk5cz]

[@cstridbeck]

We almost only eat meatballs at home, they are hard to find "out", bacause that is easy to make and easy to make a lot off for the family
