Andrew Zimmern Explains Sweden's Obsession With Pickled Fish | Bizarre Foods: Delicious Destinations 

As a Pole I agree.... pickled herring is life!

Kind of interesting that you chose to play the Finnish Säkkijärven polkka the baking part though.

pickled herring with new potatoes and sour cream, preferably mustard herring ❤

This is some how like the "ceviche" that I made, instead of vinager, lemon

The same in Norway and Denmark.

I'm seeing this for the first time. At ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-i-ELB3KpqZQ.html you play a tune called "Säkkijärvin polkka" which is a traditional finnish melody, and not swedish by any means.

Why are most Swedish people just insanely attractive? Like what the hell.

The oldest pickled herring is spiced herring. We have been eating it since at least the middle of the 18th century. The herring has a long and important history in our country. In periods it was abundant and then it was important to catch as much as possible and save for the future. This was done by salting, drying or smoking the fish. - The basis of Swedish food culture is grains and fish. We eat beef and pork too. The reason why we eat herring as an introduction to the Christmas table is connected to what is called the snaps table. It was a standing appetizer that was common already in the middle of the 17th century. It included butter, bread and cheese, some salty fish such as herring or salmon and then some salted meat. To this they drank three kinds of snaps/vodka. This costume has survived on the smorgasbord and has become the introduction there. We repeat it at Easter, Midsummer and Christmas. So it is something we have done for well over 400 years.

Quite a lot of the older generation especially in Northern England eat pickled herrings, we call it either Roll mop Herring or Soused Herring

I would love to go to Sweden 🇸🇪 such a beautiful place!

Best part of this video is that finnish song Säkkijärven polkka in the backround.

OMG I love you Andrew! bring bizarre foods again!!

Kanelbulle shoudlnt have almond paste inside :(

A good description of some of the very much loved Swedish seafood, but I must add that the pronunciation of the Swedish names is really bad! 😆

I definetly recommend to try also ABBA pickled herring. Not the band, but it’s a company.

We also drink tea twice a day but I drink five times a day and now I'm diabetic so I use sugar free sweetener, lol.

Everything looks delicious!

fishy - fishy :)

Loved the finnish polkka on the background while chef was rolling the cinnamon rolls.

It;'s not just Sweden. In Germany we have Maatjes which are just raw herring. Which we eat with onions.
