      There is a much nastier fish you missed out on. The very much infamous "surströmming"... Then again, most swedish people wont touch it either so perhaps good that you did not try it.

      Hey, om swedish and yes oreo chocolate is popular in Sweden, The swedish fish im kinda tierd of beacause it’s original in Sweden and only tast like strawberries but sometimes it doesn’t taste like it, Thoes black Sour gummies is called lakrits, it’s like law and krist, I know kinda weird haha 😝, and plop is good I kinda like that but u may get a little soggy on the fingers and sticky, And the vegan thing I kinda don’t like so much, the bread that u said was kinda dry but tasted healthy is called, Knäckebröd. Its a sort of bread that is dry and doesn’t taste so much, Some people loves knäckebröd. And the other stuff u tried is a 10/10 but you sould next time try Swedish drinks or Swedish Snacks, like popcorn or chips and the dip would make is better(dip it’s like a sauce u dip the chips in) by the way I love your videos and when you try other countries food! Hope you will read this! ❤

      I wouldn't say these are five snacks, it's one snack and four kinds of candy. And the Oreo chocolate bar is probably the one that is the least like any other Marabou chocolate bar.
      The salt on the Salta S is not sodium chloride, liquorice become salty by adding another salt - ammonium chloride, or salmiak. Salmiak is very potent and is very diluted with sugar even for this extra salty candy. If you really want good liquorice you should visit Finland, they really make the best liquorice and salty liquorice.
      A small note on the translation app: Adjö has become a sort of archaic to say farewell ("farväl" is archaic as well). We simply say "hej då".

    I swear, 99% of swedes secret hobby is watching foreign people try our salt candy.
    Its kinda hilarious as it so normal to us, even so we completely understand the absollute shock it must be to non-scandenavians.
    Im quite impressed how far you went with it. most immediately spit it out and never touch it again.
    And, yes, at least from what Ive heard from other foreign people, it is an aquired taste.
    Even tho many never give it a second chance, some do and it seems they've come to like it.
    I cant really vouch for this as I, probably like most swedes who likes it, has been eating it since before I can really rmember.
    But some people I know who came here from abroad didnt like it when they got here but like it now so, who am I to argue?

    Regarding the "Salt skum" - the unusual ingredient you seemed to be both intrigued and surprised by is ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) aka "salmiak" (typically combined with licorice, sugar and a binding agent). Very popular in northern Europe and kinda nowhere else.

    That cracker is what we call "Knäckebröd" which was basically made, along with pickled vegetables, dried fish etc as food to bring with you on long journeys and to survive winters. It's very common thing to eat as breakfast, mostly with butter on and various condiments like ham with cucumber, paprika, tomatoes etc on it. Eating it just with that filling will indeed make it feel dry without anything to drink with it, especially if you're not used to it. There's a lot of different types of Knäckebröd with different types of herbs and spices (not chilis or stuff like that, but seeds etc).

    The sandwhich isn't a snack per se, but something we call "mellanmål" (directly translates to "middle meal" but roughly rather means "meal in between meals"). It's just something you're supposed to eat in between meals if suddenly hungry, or maybe add to a quick breakfast if you're travelling or on the road.
    Oh, and also, "Swedish Fish" isn't normally sold in pre-packed bags in Sweden. You buy them in "lösvikt" (no idea how that translates, but when you pick candy in a paper bag like a la carte).

    If you go to a candy department in Finland, half the content is black -- licorice and salmiak. They know what they love and managed to make a wonderful chocolate-salmiak mix 15-20 years ago (that was copied by us in Sweden). It shouldn't be possible, like putting chocolate on potatoes, but they did it. Sheer sisu and a Manhattan (/Esbo?) Project, I'd guess. 😅

When you tried the Swedish candy, "Salt Skum," I couldn't help but chuckle at your reaction to its saltiness. If you thought that was salty, I must recommend you try another Swedish candy called "Djungelvrål" (Jungle Roar). As the name suggests, it's even saltier, and it might give you quite the taste bud challenge! It would be interesting to see your reaction to it in a future video.

    Anyeong~! These types of videos are always fun, thank you for sharing! I hope you're having a nice time here in Sweden!
    Marabou (I rhyme it with Caribou) isn't a Swedish word, it's actually the name of a kind of stork, the Marabou Stork. According to Wikipedia the origin could be Amharic. If you visit a convenience store (like ICA, Hemköp, or a Coop) keep your eyes peeled for Ballerina biscuits. I'd say they're more or less our equivalent to Oreos. The standard Ballerina is composed of two biscuits, one vanilla shortbread, and one chocolate, sandwiching a layer of nougat.
    I'm really impressed that you went back for a second bite of that Salt Skum (Skum roughly translates to Foam, but could also mean suspicious, unsure if it's a play on words since they look like rocks?). That specific type of candy is rather polarising, in the sense that very few are indifferent towards it. Generally people either love it, or hate it.
    When I visited Massachusetts a few years back, my absolute favourite thing were these little bags of like, I think freeze-dried cheese. They were called Moon Cheese, and my friend urged me to try them when we went by CVS to refill her prescription. I got obsessed! As far as I know, we don't have anything like that here in Sweden.

      Wow, thanks for such a detailed and informative response, Dojan! From just 48 hours of exploring the country, I love Sweden already. I felt very relaxed, even starting from Arlanda airport 🤭 I love nougat, Ballerina biscuits sound yummy 😋
      Haha, I wanted to challenge myself with that salt skum! It was such a unique snack, I had to give it my all 😂 not surprised by the polarization in #teamskum, maybe I’ll be a fan someday :)
      Ohh you got a healthyish yummy snack for an American one 😂 so glad you got to explore this country a bit, hope you enjoyed your international travel(s) too! 🙂

    We do have Swedish Fish, basically the exact same look. But they are in the "plockgodis" section only in our Grocery stores or candy stores. Plockgodis is like an isle of individual candies that you choose freely from to create your own candy bag. I don't know the english word sorry!

      It's not the same product. Swedish Fish was originally made by Malaco, which also makes pastellfiskar, but it was made specifically for the American market. They look different, taste different and have a different texture. Not exactly worlds apart, but still different

    The closest thing to Swedish fish in Sweden that I have found is Hallonbåtar (Raspberry boats), usually found in conjuction with liqouric boats Lakritsbåtar.

  • @bread9732
    @bread9732 5 วันที่ผ่านมา

    Swedish fish doesn’t exist in Sweden but is sold in other countries such as America where the market is big. Although we do have fish candies that looks similar to the Swedish fish by malaco in for example gott och blandat but the taste isn’t the same! ❤ ( Swedish fish are originated from Sweden but don’t sell here)

    The Salt Skum doesn't actually contain any sodium. It's just that the salmiak activates the salt receptors in your tongue.

    @SilverionX 16 วันที่ผ่านมา

    So about the Swedish Fish. It's a rabbit hole to go down. Because Swedish Fish are actually not Swedish, but they also are... sort of. The original recipe was made by a Swedish candy manufacturer, who then wanted to sell it in North America. But Swedish Fish is made by a company in Canada, so it's not Swedish, and you can't find it in Sweden. But we have our own form, and it's sold in little boxes. I think it's called Zoo here (I'm sure someone in the comments can refresh my memory)? So it's not Swedish, but it is, but it isn't. Make sense?
    Also, going in for another try of the salt licorice was very brave. Because of our cultural history (salting is one of the best ways to preserve food) Nordic countries use an insane amount of salt and we're used to a lot more than most other cultures. It's okay to not like things too, most people give it a low score and that's fine. I commend you for keeping an open mind and turning into a positive experience though.

  • @conforzo
    @conforzo 15 วันที่ผ่านมา

    I'm proud that Sweden explores the weird tastes, not just the sweet. We also like to poison ourselves with liqorice and ammonuim chloride (I love it), and yeah, anything "salty" is actually salmiak, aommuim chloride.

    The crisp bread is the whole point.
    But you'll want a fluid with it.
    It's essentially a meal.
    It's not intended as snack as such but say a lunch or something on the go.

      It's definitely a healthier breakfast then what Americans usually eat for breakfast.
      And it's really convenient.
      Instead of containing preservatives it's just dry.
      The stuff in between on that one isn't quite as dry.
      But it's possible to eat with things that's canned or dried too.
      Meaning that some crisp bread like that and with other thing that holds for literally years you can have a breakfast ready in a cabin that you bought and brought there perhaps 3-4 years earlier and it's still good food and ready to bring with you out when going skiing.
      What you bought...
      It doesn't last as long...
      To put it mildly...

    It's cool to see the reaction on salty licorice. I've yet to find something that blow my mind in taste, even kimchi was not weird for me. I guess Ube was close but the taste was not really that exploding. Glad you enjoy our sweets, Wasa knäckebröd and are brave enough to try the salty licorice! Even more extreme licorice with salt is "Svensk jävel" worlds most salty licorice. Visit us again, I'd recommend to get more away from the big city and see the countryside of our country (as i saw the other video as well). Lots of castles or mansions to check out around our country. :)

    There are several stuff that is saltier than salt.
    In the most northern countries, we have always had problem finding salt since it originally came from evaporated ocean/salt water (evaporation require heat).
    We are hardwired to like salt since it was uncommon until lately (100 y ago). Salmiak is THE saltiest stuff in existence.

    Much food in Sweden have a lot of salt in or on it. I guess it is in bedded in our gens sins the middle ages when we use salt to prolong and store the food. The premade crackers is a meal that you can take on the go and that keep you fed for a long time because of the fiber. You should have tried polkagris or polka-cains if you haven't tried before

    Salty salmiak has to be endured, then it instantly becomes easier. Salta S-märken is low level candy though.
    I dont even buy the brand because they taste worse than other brands.
    We have this thing in Sweden thats called plock-godis or lösgodis (loose candy), you pick your own mix in a small paper bag.
    Its ideal for tasting new stuff and this is why we have such a wide variety in flavours.

    Hi, swede here! Just want to say I loved this video. You are really sweet and have great reactions, and I always laugh seing someone try our salty candy. We swedes do have a lot of liquorice, and it's always fun to see someone foreign try!
    "Salt Skum" means "salty foam", and it refers to the foamy texture. Im sure other people have said this, but if you wanted to try to the most stereotypical salty liquorice its called "djungelvrål", which translates to "djungle roar" or "roar of the djungle" and its both salty and sticks to your teeth. I could easily eat a packet of salt skum, but a whole packet of djungelvrål?, that takes a while! And also, yeah its not only salt but often other types of acids as well, which gives it extra punch! Even worse is "Svenskjävlar", meaning "swedish bastards" and its crazy sour!! its fun to try though!
    "Gott och blandat" directly translates to "good and mixed", and its really popular here. There are 2 types of liquorice in that bag, both sweet liquorice, but the harder ones that stick to your teeth is made without gluten, and the honeycomb shaped ones are made with gluten, and are therefore softer!
    Marabou is just sweet milk chocolate with different flavours and stuff in them, and I personally do not really care for either them or "plopp", its just kind of too sweet!
