Iconic Swedish Foods You Need To Try Before You Die 

Which of these would you like to try the most?

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.

As a Swede living in Canada for the past 16 years this video brought be back to my childhood. However, the name pronunciation was hilarious to listen to as it was completely butchered 😂 nonetheless great video! 👍🏼

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 😂

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.

Hold you horses!! You do NOT dip the pancakes in the pea soup!! First you eat the soup, then the pancakes!!

My grandfather was an old-school Finland-Swede, who drank his coffee from the saucer, through the sugar cube between his teeth. When his sister came to live with him, she often cooked cardamom rolls and that is one of the favorite smells of my youth.

Pyttipanna is not breakfast food. Also if you enjoy it, you gotta try Biff Rydberg, the classy style of the dish with a raw egg yolk 👌👌👌

As a person from Louisiana, I would LOVE to have a crawfish boil 🦞

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.

Love from Sweden 🇸🇪 ❤️

You don't dip the pankaka into the ärtsoppa, you eath the pankaka after you have had the ärtsoppa.

You don't dip the pancakes in the peasoup you eat them as a dessert after the soup.

"Arch sopo ouch pan cocor" What the heck just send it!

You don't dip the pancakes in the pea soup hahaha. You eat the soup first, then the pancakes.

We don't dipp our pancake in the ärtsoppa.

No one dip pancakes into 🫛 soup. It serves as a desert.

Some food tryied and they was amazing, didn't know that they were from Sweden,need to continue trying Sweden cousine😊

I like this Swedish food exploration 😊

Superb video, i totally love it 🤩🤩🤩🤩

Yes,all of the the foods are very Swedish and taste very good.(except maybe the lutfisk and the ostkaka) /The Swede

Look Delicious ❤

As a Swede i feel immense pain when you try to pronounce the words.

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.

As a sweden, our food looks pretty bad. But we have many great sweets though.

More please!

Love your Channel 0:01

nice looks goods fan from nida qadir food

We know for sure that the Pea soup and Pancakes were already around in Medieval Sweden. As there are military records of it being served to soldiers. But could they be older?

i love food :)

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?

Are you implying there will be a nuclear fallout on all countries before we try these delicacies?

My swedish daughter was shaking her head whenever the op butchered her swedish🤣

You also need to try SURSTRÖMMING!!

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.

You say that smörgåstorta shall be served cold. But some of the video is of the warm smörgåstorta.

Where's the Jansson's Temptation? Is Lutefisk the Official Food Of Minnesota Lutherans?

i like pickled herring

Kladdkaka came to be due to a baking powder shortage during or around ww2. i dont know exactly so forgive me. But its basically a brownie, without baking powder.

”Shat boulaar”

I love Logan Berry products and am willing to try most of the other products on the list as long as the little boys room is close.

I'm surprised king of the hill didn't get a mention in the lutfisk section. the one where Bobby eats a whole pot to himself and gets diarrhea the next morning.

Etchopo etchpopoko? 😂

You do NOT dip pancakes in pea soup! Plus it would be appropriate to actually find out the pronunciation before saying it. "ehrt-sop-ah ahk pahn-kahker" is the easiest amercanized pronunciation.

My brother is going to Sweden next summer to meet his girlfriend’s family and I’m jealous

What the actual F? Blasphemy. Who in their right mind would dip the pancakes in the soup? We eat them separately goddamnit.

VARFÖR SÄGER HON KÖTTBULLAR SÅ?

I saw a video on kids trying different school lunches from around the world. One of the lunhces was either Norway or Sweden. They had 4 different open faces sandwiches. The American children stacked them to make one big sandwich. I cringed.

"lutfisk" ... hahahahaha

You DONT dip the pancakes into the peasoup. Totally wrong 🤮🤮. Its the desert.

Iconic or ironic?

Talks about pickled herring.. proceed to show surströming

am i goimg to die soon

As a barnflicka in my younger days....lutfisk was a definite no no

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

Gravad lax*

Lutfish Almost no Swedes eat. At least I don't know anyone who does!

Surströmming

5:29 damn, what a butchering of the language lmao. But actually a solid list.

you forgot the staple snack SNUZZZ

a lot of inaccuracies

Im from sweden and i dont even understand why americans say swedish smorgosboard (smörgåsbord). What is that? We dont even have something called as that xD

BUTCHERING FOOD NAMES

I know you are American, but for God's sake try to get the pronunciation correct when you try to present swedish dishes, and also learn how it's eaten correctly!!!

Anything with a name like ostkaka and kladkaka...I'm not trying or smelling it!

the pronunciations of the food names is pretty accurate

im from sweden, and half of these are bullshit. Lutfisk, really? you wont find it anywhere

Why is the title "Swedish foods" when 90% of these are Finnish?
