As a Swede I really enjoy these videos, they really capture Swedish food culture and they really make me glad being Swedish for once. But I hope he will tell y'all about kebabpizza, figure some of you will get a kick out of that.
Well we have something called Jantelagen, which is a way of mind many swedes follows that is basically if someone thinks or seem like they think they are something special you are considered a mega-douche. I recomend you google it cause it is based out of a bigger manifesto and i could not do it justice.
Everyone in Sweden speaks English so well, even the "indigenous people", the Sami.. It is fantastic! I think Swedes in general have the best English accent of non-native English speakers.. I didn't like the Swedish food very much, but the architecture In Stockholm is stunning
They are not some not contacted amazonian tribe. They are Swedes and go to school. . Even if there has been some persecution and racism it is not like native Americans today
Munchies! Always great to watch. The respect (even a little) that was given to the reindeer made it bearable to watch. The potato thing sounded nice to me btw
The taste of Palt is alright, but the consistence is horrible, it is like eating playdough and it sticks to the roof of your mouth and it is also sometimes served with blood.
Bad palt sticks to the roof of your mouth. To much flour in the recipe if it gets that sticky. School palt is a great example of a bad palt, you might aswell serve us glue.
11:08... *Stodge.* Emil's father, finally revealing his cloudberry spot on his deathbed *IS* love! 😜😂😂 I was taught, as a boy, "You kill it you better be prepared to eat it". Too many folk brought up on prepackaged supermarket meat to understand the principles behind their daily meals. Sure, they'll eat meat, but don't want to know how it's produced. Smh.
I highly recommend Open/Closed in Umeå. As a recently inhabitant of Umeå It is by far the best bar in Umeå, it is however quite small if you want to get a table in the actual "delhi" where they make the drinks so I recommend you go there early afternoon and then just dont leave.
It's a shame that it wasn't shown on camera how the deer was killed. People become too detached from reality when they walk in the supermarket just to buy a slab of meat. If you can't watch it being killed, don't bother eating it either. The only thing that needs to be done and upheld the upmost is that it will not suffer when being killed.
jodawgsup They showed a rabbit being killed fully on camera on eddie huang's show. He even talked a bit about how it is necessary to see this and accept it if you want to eat meat.
Halsfield Yup, indeed. Although the killing of the rabbit was a bit odd, because there's not really a need to slit a throat of an animal with todays tools. Regardless though, I agree fully with Eddie.
I do believe it is still worse to see it than to do it for yourself. I mean, if I had to chose between killing it, or watching someone else do it, I'd kill it myself.
Xanoran That doesn't make any sense to me. Watching it takes no effort and you aren't really doing any of the dirty work. Doing it means you're the one taking the animal's life and you are front and center for all the bloody work as you feel the knife cutting through its skin and feeling it shudder and fight you.
Really enjoying these videos, I’ve just started learning Swedish a few months ago and I’m so fascinated by the culture! Love the sweater by the way at 9:20.
I almost suffocated a few years back when i was eating (palt), (blood-palt) to be exakt, (its black and made out of reindeer blood. Really good with fried pork, potatoes, lingonberry jam and butter. Northern Sweden/Sami dish. Anyhow, dont place a half palt in your mouth and answer your uncles question at the same time. I ran around with panic and thoughts of dying for the better part of a minute trying to hit myself in the back and gagging/grasping for air. Jumped with the back on the ground and it came out. Haha, lesson learned.
If the culling of the reindeer bothered you, you either need to reevaluate yourself and your diet or go vegan. That was one of the quickest kills I've ever seen, with a humble respect for the cull.
Humanity has become way too soft. For 99% of human history, if you wanted meat, you hunted it yourself, killed it yourself, butchered it yourself, and cooked it yourself. Now, we can’t even watch without snowflakes heaving and crying.
@@owendispensa8953 Civilisation is merely a mask we've all agreed to wear. Your shit smells no better than anyone else's. Push comes to shove, there's animals lurking beneath the whole of humanity's skin. Mob rule brings out the primative in everyone.
living in the north of sweden and seeing this makes me really proud, the north of sweden isnt that well known and i love that munchies is putting it on the map so to say!
spacecadetz21 I agree. I remember when my dad took me hunting to show me that lesson. he only hunted alittle in his life but when he did he always made sure it was not a waste. we shot a deer and like he did when he gutted the rain deer he made me do that and take off the hide.
That palt-story is so funny. But, I agree. Palt is perhaps, one of the most Swedish dishes I know, besides the fermented herring, curated or smoked salmon, flatbread, hardbread, Swedish hard cheese, "fläskpannkaka" (oven made pancake with salted pork belly), elk steak on the bone with a sauce of Gyromitra esculenta (it's a ascomycete fungus found in Scandinavia), along with jelly of white currant berries, and roasted potatoes, or perhaps Northern pike and mashed potatoes. There are so many choices, but the hardbread and flatbread are perhaps the most unique to Scandinavian cooking.
I wish I could pin down my ancestry to any one group of people. I am a mutt. Mix of Northern European, Native American and who knows what else. I get a little jealous of those who can celebrate these traditions. The host is awesome.
+Flávia R. lmao I am swedish but has never tried surströmming, it is because my parents hates it. But I'd love to try it, just never thought about it.
tack för det här , jag växte up i svergie och flyttade med 8 (så rättskrivningen ..) till Österrike men var på Orust varje sommar.nu med covid blev det inget. jag hade nästan tårar efter denna filmen. tusend tack ,förhoppningsvis kann jag hälsa på några denna ställen . hälsa på den lilla fiskrestaurangen på lyr (orust) om ni är i omgivningen !!
The Sami aren't the only indigenous people of Sweden, they came at the same time as the Swedes, The Geats and The Gutes. People refer to them as "Native Swedes" just because they live in teepees and have another language.
***** I've seen goats, lamb and pigs killed... the U.S. should make their people kill an animal at least once. I'm sure the meat consumption would go down that way.
The Reindeer slaughter almost phazed me a bit, but remembered that mother didnt raise a bitch. I continued to eat my burger while watching the rest of the Reindeer sacrifice.
Palt or potatoe dumplings are a very normal thing in Germany, except we dont fill them with meat but eat them with meat for example schnitzel or with goose. sooooo good. Dont know why they say nobody else eats that shit haha
In the video they say that the sami people are "The indigenous people of Sweden". But that is not all true, they are one of the indigenous people of the north of Sweden. The sami migrated to Sweden from the east after the last ice age, by then the south of Sweden had been ice free and populated for around 5000-6000 years. So the "true" "indigenous people of Sweden" actually came from Denmark and Germany 5000-6000 years before the sami came to Sweden. I am not trying to sound like a know-it-all but i think this could be interesting information for some people.
jpmwolf91 Reindeer are graceful animals. But to be honest pigs are similar to humans in anatomy and so they are very vocal. I'm sure if you slaughtered a human they would scream like shit. Okay, enough horrible images, I'm sorry.

I guess they accepted their fate and couldn't do nothing about it... I meant if you just grabbed someone now and stuck them on a meat hook, it'd be pretty horrendous wouldn't it!
I'm glad he was only joking about taking the whole tree, because that would definitely not be covered by the "Allemansrätten", the right to use Swedish forests for pleasure. You can't harm nature when being in it, is a central rule of this law, even taking fresh twigs off living trees is off limits, like these guys did! You can forage for firewood, as in dead, fallen branches however, but not cut down trees if you feel like it!
Palt, a typically Swedish thing? That stuff is eaten all over Norway. Every place has it's own name for it (Ball, raspeball, klubb, komle, kompe etc.), and if you really want to start a fight, tell someone their version sucks. In parts of the country, it's agreed that thursday is ball day. My favourite is the way it's served in western Norway (Sogn og Fjordane). Bacon or salted mutton in the middle, served with sausage, mashed rutabaga, salt meat (genreally a pork knucke or mutton) and diced bacon. Syrup optional. You get a lot of the same where I live (Sunnmøre), but instead of mashed rutabaga they simply serve a boiled slice of the stuff, and instead of using all their potatoes to make dumplings they serve some boiled on the side. What a waste... If someone from Nordmøre invites you to a ballmiddag (ball dinner), ask them what kind first. Those heathens mix fish into the dumplings... And the "Paltkoma", "Ballkoma", is a well known thing. No need to serve dessert after a dinner party with this stuff. Just make sure there's enough couches for your guests to collapse on.
I believe the messmör dates back from when Jämtland and Härjedalen was Norwegian. I believe it was common to make at home after you had made cheese, since it's made from the whey boiled down with milk.
I'm pretty sure Allemannsretten wasn't intended for restaurants to come and strip down entire spruce trees. If you go foraging at least do it in a sustainable way by not ripping off entire branches and only harvesting around 20% of each individual crop.
