I went on my first international trip to Sweden last week, and I saw most of the things mentioned! I was such a fan of the cheese slicer I had to buy one once I got home 😂 (from IKEA of course)
Knäckebröd is something that comes to mind. We always had it in our house growing up, but I found out that not everybody had it (or could even get it). My grandmother, who was from the Southern US, was aghast when she first saw my grandfather spread butter on his knäckebröd “as thick as a slice of cheese” AND THEN slapped a “plank of cheese” on top of it. I remember thinking that it wasn’t strange at all when she told me about it. I feigned alarm at the time for appearances.
Yeah🎉 my husband told me about it this cheese slicer just a regrets he didnt buy as he came here in the Philippines and I must look for it at IKEA 🇵🇭❤ because I will buy Knäckebröd and Lingon there too again!
Some fun facts from an American’s perspective on the items. 1. Americans used shoe horns all the time until around the 1980s. They are popular with older people. They fell out of fashion, and you can usually only find long plastic ones sold in shoe stores, but in limited quantity. Although they have very small ones that they give away for free at the shoe stores. 2. The moose crossing signs are common in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, Utah and Wyoming. Especially in Yosemite National park. Moose are illegal to hunt or kill in America so I never had tasted moose until I was in Sweden and it is like a top 3 kött. 3. We have butter knives like that but they are metal and small. You keep them in a butter dish. 4. The osthyvel is sold in America at fancy home goods stores, but it is usually something that is advertised as like a peeler for many different things. Not just cheese. 5. Americans should never know snus or else it would take over entire Redneck communities in the country side, because it’s just a convenient way of using chewing tobacco. Lol
Actually, it's not illegal to hunt moose in the US as a whole. There may be restrictions in some states, but there are lots that allow moose hunting, although usually on a strict tag system. Here in Canada, most provinces also have a strict tag system for moose, and people can have their names in the draw to receive a tag for years before finally getting a tag. It's a lot like winning the lottery for some.
Yes, true! I think there is another version that was made by Englisman that is why its called like that in Spanish (maybe that version was more popular in Spain?).
I want to know more about salty liquorice! 😊 Im a big fan and luckily there is a special nordic import shop in my city where I can get all sorts.. So, is it common all over the north, are there special types that are just swedish or just eg dutch or is it just a cold climate food for surviving freezing winters and seas? 😅
That is a very good question. Not sure why it is so popular in the north. Maybe because the plant where the liquorice comes from grows here. But not sure, will investigate a bit more about it. Maybe we can make a special video just dedicated to lakrits.
En av mina vänner åker idag till Stockholm! Han är min gitarrist. Kanske är det dags att fråga honom något? (I'm ready to be judged about my terrible swedish 🙈, Daniella)
@@FunSwedish had a glorious one last week. Vikingaskeppet. Folded up into a boat shape and filled with donner meat and garlic sauce. This was after we saw Gyllene Tider in Halmstad :D
The best thing in Sweden by far is the "smått och gott" bin section in the grocery store.
I have an osthyvel and dalahast from 1963 ! The shoe horn is an old person thing here in South Africa . My husband had one.
I have that candle rotating thingy but with a christmas tree instead atop.
I made and painted some Dalahästen from recycled cardboard and papier mache and decorated my Christmas tree last year. They looked very pretty.

Your personality is so charming. Not even interested in learning Swedish but I just enjoy your glowing positivity.
Awww ❤
Your comments help to spark that glow!

oh that's so cool! where'd you visit?
Haha, yeah its a most have! Hope you enjoyed your stay in Sweden.
@@FunSwedish det var fantastisk !
My mom had Dalahästen, and I remember playing with them when I was a kid!! I think her mom had them too. Fond memories. 🥰
How cute! ❤
We actually call skiftnyckeln "swedish key" in Hebrew!
Same in Polish!
I grew up with an Osthyvel! My grandmother (100% Swedish) ALWAYS had one in her house, and I've always kept one, much better than cutting cheese!
Drinking "warm" beer and the game of throwing sticks, lots of fun 😊
It's Dalahästen for me. We have one in one of the meeting rooms in the office. :D
Nice :) Makes the office a bit more colourful.
Surströmming. 😆
More basic top 10 things please (Fun Swedish)

The Änglaspel is a must for Christmas 😊
I have played with 'Innebandyklubba' in video games 🎮
Yeah🎉 my husband told me about it this cheese slicer just a regrets he didnt buy as he came here in the Philippines and I must look for it at IKEA 🇵🇭❤ because I will buy Knäckebröd and Lingon there too again!
*Imagines a life withouth cheese slicer* *Cries*
@@FunSwedish 🥰 Yes, I agree!
I loved this video and I will listen again😊.
Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
tack, super !!

Tack så mycket! This was very interesting to read. Thanks for sharing. We also learned some new things by your comment :)

It's very curious because in Spain we call "llave inglesa" to the skiftnyckeln, which means "English key".
Yes, true! I think there is another version that was made by Englisman that is why its called like that in Spanish (maybe that version was more popular in Spain?).
@@FunSwedish I can´t see it very well in the video, but to me, it´s a "llave inglesa" haha.
Kalles Kaviar! I hated it at first, but I now crave it and it's hard to find in other parts of the EU! självklart, en osthyvel eller en smörkniv.
I had an orange dalahäst ....and other items are well- known here in Buenos Aires
But I had never tasted a semlar...before!!! Where did you live in Argentina...I know your Mamma is Argie like me!!💛💙💙🤍
Que bonito un dalahäst naranja. Ella es de Buenos Aires 💙🤍
I found licorice ice cream they are obsessed
I believe the Coleman stove is a Swedish invention, as well as dynamite (Alfred Nobel).
Big fan all the way from South Africa
Happy to hear, we would love to vist South Africa someday
“In Sweden we love butter”
me: And this is how I knew Swedish was the perfect language to choose
Haha 😀

11. Swedish language 🥇

8:19 Oh! Is it the Swedish version of my name?
Hälsningar från Venezuela. Vi har något som liknar snus, som kallas "chimó", en svart pasta som placeras under tungan. Det är obehagligt. 😅
Hola Venezuela! :) Mira vos, suena parecido a snus.
I'm surprised lingonberry sauce wasn't on the list
We have another video where we focus on food. This one was more about items 🙂 but we agree that lingonsylt is super important!
Fika is Swedish!
Yes! True. On this video we didnt focus so much on food but we have also made a video just about fika since it is so important here in Sweden.
Tack 🌹💐🌹
Melodic Death Metal ! 🤘😁
Doom Metal as well bro! 🤟🏻
It would be faster to list the things we don’t have (the snus is foremost).
Tack :)
Curry Banana Pizza.
Yes! Another Swedish classic!
@@FunSwedish had a glorious one last week. Vikingaskeppet. Folded up into a boat shape and filled with donner meat and garlic sauce. This was after we saw Gyllene Tider in Halmstad :D
😂 looks like the ex-ex-managers red horse🐴 was it a Icelandic horse from Sweden.
😲 Nobody has written ABBA 😲
True, this video we focused more on items but you are right that ABBA is very important as well.
2:46 A common trait found!
The blonde bombshell is a Swedish invention.
Just the thought of snuss gives me the black boak. It sounds as vile as snuff.
👍👍👍
I am sliced cheese- i am Swedish?
skohorn är vanligt i indien
Thanks for sharing. Then it is not only a Swedish thing.
My number one: Drunk people.
The Germans again! 😂
