I used to loathe rödbetssallad as a child. But as an adult it is one of my favourite. A fun story about it is actually when my sister went to study japanese in Japan for a few months. She lived in a kind of dormitory with other international students and one evening they had a world food event where each group of students cooked some representative food from their country and then they all tasted eachother's dishes. My sister and a couple of other swedes, made, among other things, rödbetssallad. She said it was a super hit among all international students as well as the japanese teachers. So for any foreigners in sweden, I definitely recommend trying it.

Roast roe deer filet with juniper and rosemary, gravy, lingonberries and ovenroasted parsnips, celeriac and turnips and almond potatoes! Toast Pelle Jansson or Gubbröra! Swedish braied brisket with salted sidfläsk (like porkbelly) and springs first greens! Älgfärsbullar from falls freshly minced Moose with fried porcini (Karl Johan Svamp)! Swedish flounder fried two minutes each side in butter, served with fresh stringbeans or peas, a handful of capers in the pan before the butter dresses them and the new potatoes, and a knob of either freshly grated horseradish or anchovy butter (sardellsmör) and a green salad is one of summers absolute delights! Swedish yellow split pea soup cooked slow with a knuckle of pork, and good coarse sour mustard, plus the Swedish pancakes or plättar with jam and a dollop of whipcream that go with the thursday evening dish is really good hone made fare. A classic Swedish steak Tartare or kroppkakor (knedely in Czech or soft porkfilled potatodumplings with browned butter and lingonberries, fresh fried strömming with mash, parsley and lemon, Wallenbergare made from soft minced veal, the list of tasty Swedish food is decent. I really wonder where the heck this guy goes out to dinner, and who cooks at the dinnerparties he’s been to?! Swedish pies besides Västerbotten worth mentioning are all sweet, not savory. Gooseberry, rhubarb and strawberry, etc. Fast food? That would be pyttipanna with HP sauce, parsley and a fried egg or raw yolk, a better falafel with muhammara and tahinisauce (now a Swedish staple) and Swedish Ostbågar/Cheez Doodles are way better than American ones or most sad potato chips.

Thank you, I really enjoyed your video (but I hate rödbetssallad :)) One thing that I think is typically Swedish is our "Pytt i panna" You have something similar in the UK called hash but it's far from the same. I'm frying boiled potatoes (from "yesterday") in small squares and put in chopped onions, some left-over beef and bits of some smoked sausages, salt & pepper and a bunch of parsley on top. To go with it I choose pickled beet roots! and a fried sunny-side-up egg. If you have some left over gravy just stir it in (or make a quick one with some cream and soy sauce), then you get creamy Pytt. Some restaurants in Sweden have their own Pytt i panna as a signature dish - one in Göteborg but I forgot the restaurants name.

Nice to hear you like pickled herring. Many foreigners do after (reluctantly) trying it. The beginners version is the senapssill (mustard herring): pickled herring dressed with a mix of equal parts sweet Swedish mustard and the sauce normally eaten with gravlaks. Kids usually don't like pickled herring, and senapssill tends to be the first one they eat. It was for me. I'm a traditionalist, so no curry or garlic herring for me. My favourites are plain pickled herring made with carrots, onions and the sweet brine (1 part 12% vinegar, 2 parts sugar, 3 parts water) and the matjessill ("virgin herring"): heavily spiced and eaten with gräddfil/sour cream.

Herring, beetroot salad, salmon, meatballs, snaps, nubbe, knäckebröd, and prinskorv, are the staples for our dinner tables at the big holidays like Easter, Christmas, and Midsummers eve (pretty big holiday in sweden) to mention a few. if you put these items on the table you will have a successful holiday gathering, and if you have these items front and center you can add basically any type of food and get away with it. had a friend who had a separate buffet table where they had tacos at christmas, and another friend had a pizza table at midsummer, but neither the pizza or the tacos where eaten more than the "original" food. on the topic of pickled herring, you said you liked the curry one, that was the only herring i could stand when i was younger, especially after christmas dinner at my uncle where they had home made apple and curry pickled herring. i was basically floored by how amazing it tasted

"Ragu/Bolognese" with a simple bottom layer of double cream is common in Italy/Naples for pizza. Beet salads in all forms are common in Germany. Smashing up chips as a flavouring for a dip is used to be popular in North East (North America). Pies? Swedish... really... Herring - yes, Swedes took that to a whole new level. Curry one is awesome.

I am Swedish and have never heard of minced meat pizza before :) My favorite is with half kebab and half chicken & extra salad. I know many who like pizza with Pineapple and the banana but I myself have never understood that thing but we all like it differently. I usually mostly ask if they know my pizza and usually go. beetroot salad not good but my mom & dad like and even if you can eat the whole word around, they usually do not :) Have started to see your videos more and more:)

Tropicana pizza (the name of the pineapple + bana + curry powder variety) is a staple and surprisingly nice. I'm just a (very tiny) bit surprised you didn't like this as it contains CURRY! Also, the nearest thing to Swedish pies in the uk is the quiche, although they are generally taller than the pies in Sweden and contains more dough and less filling (and are not as tasty). I also do buy Rödbetssallad in the UK. You need to know where to look for it, though.

My dad used to work for several major food corporations - during the late 70's and most of the 80's he was the local manager for CPC in Simrishamn, who among many other products made Winborgs pickled herring. Dad helped up the quality and even helped them develop a couple of recipes (he'd also been on the product development team that created Felix bruna bönor and instant mashed potatoes - he also brought to Sweden quick-open cans from Germany, the ones everyone use now) and for most of the 80's Winborgs pickled herring was considered the best in Sweden. Unfortunately that's a long time ago, and they kind of reverted on quality after CPC got gutted by competitors - Winborgs still exists, but they mainly just make stuff like vinegar.

@@JustaBritAbroad Perhaps you can make a "Swedish cheeses" video some time in the future. About the ordinary day to day "breakfast cheeses" like Gräddost, Hushåll, Greve, Präst and Herrgård, to Kryddost that you mainly have for midsummer and crayfish parties, to the king of Swedish cheeses, Västerbotten. Whenever there is some offer in the supermarket I hoard it, grate it, freeze it, it´s a bit expensive for my taste, it just lifts the taste of so many dishes. Italians might find it sacrilegious, but I often use it instead of parmesan on pasta or risotto (risotto with "kantareller" and västerbottenost... that´s so good). Have you tried "mesost" btw? I really don´t like it, but it´s very Scandinavian. It´s even more common in Norway (called "brunost" or "brown cheese"), even if it has existed in Sweden for hundred of years too, it really is an aquired taste. But it´s one of those things you should try if you haven´t. (Be aware to mention it´s Norwegian origin, because otherwise you will have a ton of insulted Norwegians in the comment section, they´re very... protective... and hate when something Norwegian (like the cheese slicer!) is called Swedish.

Quite a reasonable list. And when it comes to chips/dip combos i really like the holiday dip for salt and vinegar chips. I get all happy eating those chips, we didn't have salt and vinegar chips here until some time in the 90s, so everytime we went abroad i ate them to the extent it felt like my mouth was falling apart. And regarding the topic of our pizzas (And also related to rödbetssallad), i dont know about other cities, but where i live some of the pizza places do "Christmas pizza", and it seems they like to outdo eachother with combining pizza with swedish christmas food in the most disgusting way possible. Saw one on a menu with christmas ham, rödkål and rödbetssallad and meatballs. Too much, too wierd.

Gräddfil = Sour cream Or in the UK soured cream. The difference is that the Swedish only has 12% fat, standard. No difference between brands. What I understand the fat content in the UK is 18%. In the USA I think it's about the same amount fat as in the UK, but as usual they add extra thickener, which could be from a whole bunch of different stuff. My suggestions about using English or American recipies with sour cream is to use half gräddfil and half creme fraiche (full fat, 34%!). In a cheese cake, use more creme fraiche than gräddfil. Just remember that creme fraiche has less acidity, it doesn't taste as sour as at least American sour cream. I assume that it's same with the English.

The pizza thing. Thats a strength of the Swedish culture, through history and now. Swedes are, perhaps paradoxical for someone who only sees our shy side, very open to ideas from the outside. Our industry builds on collecting knowledge from all over the world, the famous Swedish pop music is seldom very Swedish, it's imported genres and sentiments. There is always a way to make things in a better way. And until we can agree on the perfect pizza, let's throw anything on them that is good warm. And a open sandwich with rödbetssallad, homemade meatballs and fresh parlsey! Best bread for is rågsiktskaka, so you know.
