    It's usually not regular salt on the liquorice. It's acutally ammonium chloride (salmiak) which is even more salty than salt I'd say. Lovely stuff!
    The liquorice he was showing after the Djungelvrål is called Svenskjävlar and is really, really salty, but super good.

    • @MrBern91
      @MrBern91 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +14

      Difference between sodium chloride (table salt) and ammonium chloride (Salmiak) is that ammonium chloride tends to make you salivate rather than sucking the moisture out of the mouth. Like... No way in hell that I was just take some table salt and lap it up, I could do this with salmiak though.

    The reason why Taco Friday is so popular here in Sweden is kinda synonymous with Fredagsmys (Cosy Friday). Families gathering in the sofa in front of the TV, watching shows or movies, while enjoying tacos, pizza, whatever good food you want to have. It's the end of the standard work week and families are bonding and taking it easy.

    We have voileipäkakku (smörgåskaka/ sandwichcake) also here in Finland 🇫🇮. Traditionally served at weddings, birthdays and other party's as a savory cake. Usually fish (salmon) or meat (ham) filling. Layers of wheatbread and filling have cream cheese and/or mayonnaise and spices.

  • @TheShadowXacko
    @TheShadowXacko 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +27

    If I recall, the reason that some people love salty licorice, or just very salty food overall, while others can't stand it, is actually genetic. Like with the coriander, but on a much more important level. The need to stand the taste in order to survive. Natural selection basically. I don't remember the details, and someone correct me if I'm wrong, but the need to salt food in order to conserve it simply made it so that people who couldn't stand the taste practically starved and died off.
    And also, smörgåstårta, the sandwich cake, is amazing. It's so versatile, everyone can have their own spin on it. There is no right or wrong in how to make it. The base is sandwiches with some king of creamy filling/coating, which people make in a lot of different varieties. And then you top it with whatever you want. Vegetables, fruit, shrimp, ham, fish or whatever match your taste. It's amazing!

    There is a gene that is common in the Nordics that makes us perceive licorice differently (that's why we eat a lot of licorice in Nordic countries), don't know if it's the same gene as coriander.

    An advice if you gonna try the surströmming. Make sure to be outside, cause the smell will be stuck in the walls for days if you open it inside. I have never tried it either but they say it's gross. I think they who say they love it in the north is like youths who says they love coffee. They want to be cool and say they like it, then they make faces for every sip, or chew they take, but still say "I love it, it tastes so good"

    Nowadays, many Swedes like spicy food, but there are many who don't like it either.

I personally sometimes make a simplified "lunch" pizza that's simply a Polarbröd rågkaka (a kind of soft round bread) with chili-sauce spread on it, sandwich ham torn into smaller bits and spread over, and finally cheese, with this run in a microwave for a bit.

    Shrimp with drops of lemon is a must for the absolute best sandwich cakes... Basically it's a huge sandwich with whatever we pull out of the sea or hunt for dinner. Glaze it with mayonaise or some other cold and delicious sauce for sandwich. My best recipe is 50/50 mayonaise and sour cream and mix it with a bunch of tuna and red onions or leek. Spread this over sandwiches and lap them on eachother. When you reach a good height, you add cheese, shrimp, salad, ham, tomatoes, cucumbers. Well here you can just add anything. Advocados.. Berries.. Put it into the refridgerator and enjoy breakfast for a week. Best for summer mornings when you can drink it with a beer.

    "Homemade Pizza at home"
    Me and some friends during Uni would meet up and have a Potlock type party where the host would make sure that there's dough and possibly a base tomato sauce, but then every guest would bring their own Pizza topping (we had a list where people would sign up that they'd attend as well as what topping they'd bring so people didn't all go with ham or cheese and so people knew how much topping to bring so everyone could potentially try it).
    Then we'd just start making wierd combinations of pizzas! One evening we had 16 different toppings (and yes, 16 different types, no repeats)

    As a Swede, my favourite pizza is the Swedish version of the Capricciosa (No artichokes!). There's nowhere to hide when you only have such basic toppings as tomato sauce, cheese, ham, mushrooms, and oregano, so it's very easy to tell which pizza places are good. A strong second place is of course the kebabpizza.

    The reason the the taco Friday is probably that kids loves tacos as well. And it's not as unhealthy as for example a pizza. Fridays are a day when the parents want to have a special night with their kids, eat together, spend more time than they can usually do, and at the same time they are tired from work and want to cook something that go fast to cook, and tacos is that dish. It's really good, you can put your own twist on it, (There is some people having banana as you love in food ;) ) and if you don't like something you don't need to add it, as you make your own, which is perfect, so the children can't say "I dont like onion" or " I don't like cucumber or tomato" then they don't need to take it. So taco Friday for us parents, is amazing.

    About licorice, salt-licorice to be precise, there is not "salt" in it, or ON it the traditional sense, it contains salmiak which is another word for ammonium chloride, gives it a rather distinctive smell which might not be too surprising ;) It is also a fairly common flavor ingredient in cough syrups.

    The salt covering salty liqourice is actually a mix of powdered sugar and ammonium chloride. While the last (also known as sal ammonia or salmiak) is a salt it's not salty in the same way that table salt is salty. Like... it's hard to explain, it has a strong salty taste but not unpleasant in the way eating a pinch of salt is. It also doesn't dry your lips out the way, say, eating a lot of salty popcorn will do.

    In Sweden we love to get influenced by other culture's food but we always tend to make it our own thing. And we have to have sauce on it, whatever it is. Liqourice is actually best made in Iceland and Finland nowadays. Svenskjävlar is wonderful! A smörgåstårta's taste you can always know. On top of it you always have all the things in it so you know beforehand whats in it. Taco friday is quite a new thing. When I grew up (1970's) it was weird with spaghetti. Everyone just ate "husmanskost". Regarding spicy food it's okey as long as it is not too spicy.

  • @arthena2130
    @arthena2130 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    1. Love that, pizza is one of my favorites. I usually ask for garlic sauce if it not already on the pizza too.
    2. The potato dish is a based on a Swedish take on the French dish potato gratin, and the anchovies are an extra condiment in it of Christmas. It's thinly sliced of potato cream, onions, herbs, and garlic done in the over, often topped with cheese.
    3. Surströming is not very popular in Sweden and most Swedes don't even dare to eat it, it is food of by gone times when food was not as an abundant. Some people do love it, thou.
    4. Salty liqureish is a very Nordic thing and I personally like at the level of djugelvrål but not more salt than that.
    5. Smörgåstårta is basically just a cold stacked sandwich with mayo and some form of protein, typically either shrimp, salmon, roast beef.
    6. Vindaloo is an actually Indian dish, and you did colonize India for a long time, so the Indian inspiration on food is not weird. Sweden just looks at all the food in the world and take their own spin on it. Also, the English curry is what led to the Japanese curry which is one of my absolute favorites, even though it is very mild.
    7. Except taco Friday, we have Sunday steaks with roasted potatoes as a common thing as well here.
    8. Sweden is divided on spicy food, most don't like it, but those that thou usually absolutely love it. That is why different restaurants with the same type of food can have very varying spiciness degree, and you have to try the food to know if it is either super spicy or nothing at all at the spiciest level. Mostly Thai and Indian suffer from this. The habit of eating chillies comes from warmer country as an efficient way to counteracts diseases. We all the way up north have had it way too cold to ever truly adopt these costumes, and we never colonized countries that had them either, really. The curry on the pizza is yellow curry, so close to the English one.

    Tip from the coach, when trying surstömming add 1/4 of the surstömming to the rest (ex bread, potato, and the other things ppl want: cream fraishe, tomato, dill, union and more)

    I hate banana on pizza but I absolutely agree with the concept of adding something sweet to balance the savory of the pizza itself! Same as adding salt to mozerella and tomatoes or adding salt to water melon! It just makes sense!

    You can buy pizza kits in any grocery store for an easy home made pizza if you. Personally only had pizza made on knäckebröd once at a food fair, but it was definitely tasty! Also banana curry pizza is 100% the best pizza!

  • @AlvinDema

    I can also add in that those “super salty” licorice things don’t have normal salt, it has salmiak salt. Which is even more intense than normal table salt. If ur not used to it then it’s probably gonna be the most salty thing u have ever had in ur mouth. It is actually a bit of a painful experience the first times u try it.

    Just bought a jar of Svenskjävlar last week, it's so salty it burns your tounge so you can't eat to much of it at once, but it's delicious! The salt used doesn't taste like regular table salt, it's salty, but it has a bit of a different flavour. :D Comparing Janssons frestelse to french fries is the strangest comparison i've ever heard. What it ACTUALLY is, is this: Potatoes cut into thin strips, sliced yellow onions, anchovies, some swedish caviar and heavy cream which is then gratinated. It doesn't really taste of anchovies since they are a in a relatively small amount, instead they just provide a very pleasant salty umami flavour to the whole thing. For a short period in the early 2000's, before tex mex came to sweden and took over, everyone would have chicken on fridays, due to a very successfull ad campaign from chicken producer Kronfågel.

  • @ulvsbane
    @ulvsbane 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I usually get a pizza with fillet of beef, béarnaise sauce as the main toppings but also usually tomato, the usually pizza tomato sauce of course, onion perhaps, garlic ... But the kebab pizza is also a favourite.
    When we make a "pizza" on bread it's called a warm open faced sandwich, "varm macka" and it's been around for way longer than the pizza in Sweden. The main difference is that it is made on already made bread while the pizza is made from dough that are baked with the rest of the pizza.
    I do often make pizza myself. And then cut it in pieces suitable for lunch and put in the freezer.
    "Curry" in Sweden is spice mix and not (hot) Indian food. "Curry" is just called Indian food, regardless of if it's from India or not.
    If you manage to get used to the smell of surstömming, the taste is not that bad.
    The salt used in salty liquorice is not table salt (sodium chloride) but a different kind that tastes about ten times as salty as regular table salt. It's also known as ammonium chloride, or salmiak.
    Don't think of sandwich cake as cake but more like a lunch meal in a more festive form, or afternoon tea that will keep you full a bit longer.

    Tacobread pizza (tortilla bread pizza) - 2 Tortilla bread with grained cheese between (cheese type dealers choice), Taco sauce / spiced tomato sauce spread out on top, 2-3 toppings of your own choice (Fried Minced meat, bell pepper and onions are a popular combo), the same cheese that was layered in between the bread also spread on top of it all and then season it with oregano.
    In the oven for 200°C (400°F) for roughly 8-10min (golden brown color) and it's ready to serve. Enjoy 😉

    The low spice tolerance is completely true. None of our traditional dishes are spicy whatsoever because those ingredients don't grow here. We're not used to spicy food growing up and we're bad at using spices in our cooking (but we're learning). I once told my friend about a quesadilla I made, she's got Caribbean and Indian heritage and when she asked what spices I used she laughed at me when I answered "salt and pepper"🤣

    Do home-made Pizza almost every Saturday. We usually buy ready made dough that is already rolled out onto parchment paper and usually includes a jar of tomato sauce. Super easy.
    The potatoes in the Janson is NOT frenchfries. Its julienned potatoes.
    Smörgåstårta is amazing and you can basically put anything you want in it. There are ofcourse classic versions.
    Iceberglettuce, tomatoe and cucumber is often called a Swede-sallad (jokingly from foreigners liveing here mostly). We use it for everything so ofcourse it goes in Tacos.

    Häxvrål - ”witches scream” a salty liquorice stick with a creamy, ammonium chloride (salmiac) filling. Could be an introduction to salty liquorice (if Svenskjävlar are too much). At work we used to have a liquorice club, called Lakritstrollen (the liquorice trolls )where someone would bring some really special Nordic salty liquorice instead of fikabröd every Friday. Absolutely delicious- but Iceland makes even better salty liquorice than Sweden

    There isn't any salt on them (Svenskdjävlar, Swedish devils) actually, the correct term is Salmiak and it is very salty and it has an interesting chemical composition, hydrochloric acid (HCL) and ammonia combined into something eatable.
