LOL! All that healthy danish food! A bit of trivia here: HARIBO is actually German and the name comes from the founder’s initials: HAns RIedel, BOnn (= which is the town, where the first factory stood). The candy they sell in DK differs slightly from the one in Germany and is a bit more chewy. So, there you go! Enjoy.
Haribo is a German brand of candy, sold all over Europe. Mostly gelatine from pigs and sugar. Cobblestones are British liquorice. Fladfisk from Toms is the most Danish in style, but actually one of the more "tame" variants. The extra saltiness comes from ammoniumchloride or salmiak as it is called in Scandinavia and Finland.
Haribo is, as another person has also written German of origin. However, they have had an independent factory in Denmark for many years. Some years ago, legislation came through the EU, so unfortunately it has to be followed. But strong licorice with salmiak taste (salmiak is an ammonium chloride salt (try Wikipedia if it does not make sense) underwent a major change from "Super strong" to "strong" as in relation to the new rules there was too much salmiak in them The sour versions of the candy are actually most popular in Germany. In Denmark many people are happy with winegum with taste of real fruits. But again, it is probably also a lot with what you are used to and grew up with. As with liver pate, which most Danes eat with pleasure. Some even with Strawberry jam on top (I do absolutely dislike that). Many Danish children do not like for example liver , where towards the older generation often like to eat it fried on a pan and served with soft onions (onions fried in eg butter so they are soft). BBQ taste is so popular in the US Personally, I like "a little" BBQ taste, but I often think that the American versions will taste more of the BBQ sauce than of the meat it is applied to. And that I think is a shame. But as I usually say .... It's good we have both so everyone can be satisfied st, then I really think you do very well in speaking Danish. The mistake many people make when they try to speak Danish is that they speak too fast, which makes "elongated" sounds such as the sound from a "u" sound wrong. The same goes for "æ" "ø" and "å". These 4 letters often have to be pronounced as if they come a little deeper from the throat, where most others are pronounced with the mouth. Danish is difficult, but probably not as difficult as German, but great respect for you trying to learn it. The best wishes...
Yeah, these "flat fish" are not really salty at all, compared to other danish/scandinavian liqourice like "Djungelvrål", or even better: "Salmiakstang", both from Malaco. These are real scandinavian salty liquorice when its best!! 😋😋😋
My dad is american and came to denmark because of my mom 18 years ago, and I've been binging y'alls videos trying to see what it's like for americans to move to denmark. I must say you guys make some great videos!!
Well, yes, but actually no! 😀 Haribo bought a Danish candy company with a factory in Faxe, and as a Danish branch of the Haribo company, they continue to produce original Danish candy there. Most of what Haribo sells in Denmark, like liquorice eggs, Labre Larver, Pepito (formerly Pinnochio-kugler), Piratos, Pesetos, Eucalyptos, Matador-mix, etc. are invented in Denmark by Danes, produced in Denmark, and sold exclusively on the Danish/Scandinavian market. Even products that are original Haribo, like most of the mixed bags, are produced by the Danish branch for the Scandinavian market in versions distinctly different from the German-produced originals sold on the international market. The Danish versions tend to be harder/chewier and not as sugary sweet. By the way, the candy company Fazer is a similar story. The company is Finnish, but several of their most popular products in Denmark were made by other companies only to be bought up by Fazer later. For example, Dumle is originally Swedish, while Skolekridt and Tyrkisk Peber are Danish. Likewise, Skipper's Pibes (lakridspiber) are Danish in origin but were bought by the Swedish company Malaco.
Djunglevrål, is one of my favorites. Strong bite at first, chewy, hint of brown farine, very sticky sugar, good when you have sore throat. Eating chocolate "skildpadder" or "frøer" (turtles or frogs, respectively) you either hold it with the opening after first bite, upwards, or eat it in one go. The frogs has the peppermint filling known from the After Eight choclates, the turtles has a very creamy caramel and rum essence filling. Another of my favorites, is Haribo Click mix. You get the content of most other mixes, in mini size, in one bag.
9:57 Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if you're completely right on that one. Salty Licorice is, more or less, an exclusively Scandinavian thing. Barely anyone else likes them.
But we do indeed love the salty liqourice in Scandinavia, including northern germany and finland. As a Dane i would be hard pressed to live in a country where i couldnt get liqourice. And just to be clear, "red liqourice" is very much a american thing.
As a Dane, I like maybe 25% of the candy selection in our country. I don't have a sweet tooth either, but I do enjoy seeing people from other countries try some of the candy :) So thanks for that!
Really good video, and really good editing too. I just recently started watching your videos, and now i am obsessed. I wish you all a good day and good luck in the future, and i cant wait until you post a new video
From a dane, who love american tasting danish candy and the reaction. Try the following: anton berg marcipan brød. Skildpadder eller frøer ( Chocolate with cream of mint or caramel) BonBon losseplads ( hard candy 😉 "warning" lakrids) Tyrkisk peber( salty and very strong lakrids)😉 Yankee bar. (Danish Chocolate bar ) Kongen af Danmark ( sweet hard candy😃) Chips: all chips from the 2 companies Kim's and Taffel (i like Kim's "american grill", and taffels "ostepops med chilly flavor" if you can find it. Soft drinks: try jolly cola ( danish version of coca cola) Face kondi ( danish version of sprite)(- even got it's own rap song now, as a side note) Cocio ( Chocolate milk drink) Alcohol strong: If you drink that, try the following: enkelt (a danish bitter) gammel dansk( very popular at Christmas) . Små blå ( lakrids shots) (PS. All to be found at a danish Christmas meal (julefrokost) Hope you will try it all. A Dane looking forward to se your in reaction.
This is awesome! So we did just do another taste test with some friends the other night that I will hopefully get posted tomorrow morning. In that one we had the Turkish Pepper (soft candy version). We also had a Yankie bar, but the reactions weren't that interesting as it tastes a lot like a 3 musketeers bar in the US, so I didn't include that in the final video. We will need to expand to other foods next time around. BTW, I love Faxe Kondi, especially the summer versions each year. And of course Cocio, the salted caramel and mint flavors are awesome! Also, I am planning out a special Christmas episode where we try some different Julebryg and a Christmas lunch with herring, snaps, etc. Should be fun!
@@TravelinYoung Karl have not added it on his list but it is a must... which is the Danish farv Haribo super Piratos! Don´t eat to many of them or they will give you dirrhea but I feel like that will not happen. :3 but yeah if you never grew up with saltet licorice it is hard but if you would learn to like it, start with the sweet ones and go from there.
@@jonathanthomsen6440 that is true that it is made in Germany but I got a feeling it is made for the Danish market as I´m living in Germany Potsdam right now, and you can´t get it here beside at the border shops which drives me nuts that they don´t have a big selection of licorice down here >X(
@@jonathanthomsen6440 okay I just look the piratos up on haribos germany home side. they are made by the Danish haribo deparment which you can see on their home side.
@@jonathanthomsen6440 You are simply wrong Jonathan. You are right in that way that HARIBO is german. But HARIBO Lakrids A/S (former Sukkervarefabrikken Danmark 1926-1935 made by Christian Hansen) is danish and have a kor if producs. In 1935 his son (Eckhof Hansen) startet a produktion of liquirice in Denmark under the name HARIBO Lakrids A/S. In 1955 they startet making Piratos in the factory on Frederiksberg.
Remember 1 time we was going to Hungary. Had a lot of candy in the car. All licorice. The kids Where we was going dont know it, just see candy. Licorice covered in color full Sugar. 2 sec Joy and then they spit it out
Greetings, thanks for watching! Danish class is going well! It is challenging and moves super fast, but we have a break over the holiday so we are going to study a ton.
Skumbananer is from Cloetta, a Swedish brand ;-). If you want to see a large assortment of candies then go to Sweden. Take the ferry from Helsingør to Helsingborg or take the train to Malmö. Find an ICA Maxi shop. The Swedes speak about "lördaggodis" in Danish Lørdags slik, Maya can translate to English.
The red thing with the acid on is called a tivoli stang.. you can get them plain and sour. Try flødeboller and skildpadder.. and if you like the american Swedish fish you would love "røde hunde".. they are same flavour and nearly same consitens.
HAHA! "You can get them bigger at The Bordershop..." Semi-new to Denmark, and already in on the going-to-Germany-for-snacks routine - you guys are blending right in! As for suggestions: - "Rådne fisk" (lit. "rotten fish") a strawberry-flavoured hard-boiled sweet with delicious filling, from the Toms brand, under their "Bonbon"-selection. - "Stang mix" , like the "Karamel Bits" you tried, but with fruity flavours mixed in also. Fantastic! - "P-tærter" from the Carletti brand (like the "Skum Bananer"). Get the red bag, the original ones. French-nougat 'n peanuts covered in chocolate. Get addicted. Have at it guys, and thanks for an awesome channel - really interesting views! :)
Licorice is not very popular for the younger generation, but the elders love it. Maybe because before candy existed here elders chewed "lakrids rod" or licorice root basicly a dried root that taste faintly of licorice and is slightly sweet, I like some salt licorice tho might be my Danish roots surging through my veins.
That is interesting to learn, I didn't know about the origin! I have noticed the true licorice fans seem to be a tad older. But I do suspect there is something from the past generations that helps keep it alive. As you say, perhaps it's just in your veins.
Pro Tip: Don't put Skum Bananer in a drawer, put them in the refrigerator. That way you get a nice contrast between the crispy chocolate shell and the soft marshmallow inside.
Smash is absolutely amazing. I have brought it around to friends when visiting abroad, and it is always a hit. I don't know how popular they are in Denmark, but here in Norway you can get them everywhere.
It doesn't seem to be too popular here, it is hard to find. I agree, it is amazing! I have seen it at the airport (back in the days when I flew places) and a few days ago in a Circle K. Otherwise I need to just visit Norway more often :).
I love your reaction to salty licorice personally I love it so I even joined in when you tried the Fladfisk, however I will say that there is a lot of people who don’t like licorice, and even less likes salty candy 🍬
I’m enjoying your videos so much. Your very honest reactions to many of our strange habits are so funny. My son in law is American, so you are giving me a better perspective on his experiences living in Denmark. Try it on Tuesday: Gule ærter med kogt flæsk og sennep, med groft rugbrød til. Split pea soup with pork and mustard, accompanied by rye bread. An ancient hearty winter dish, if made properly, very nice and fulfilling. ( “Irma” has one ready made) or: Øllebrød med flødeskum. Rye bread ( nongrain) soaked and cooked with sugar, served with whipped cream. Also good old rural cuisine. Bon appetite!
Hats off to you guys for doing that well eating licorice. I have shared some with american friends whilst on holiday, and they described the flavor "Hate, sorrow sadness and tears of orphan puppies" You did good. Black licorice is an aquired taste, and ours is super salty.
this reminds me of the time, i was in ireland, me + all the girls in my class gathered together to taste irish candy, it was especially that moment the candy was thrown that reminded me of it, as we did that with it
I work in an international company and you are not alone with the dislike of licorice. Nearly all of my foreign colleagues dislikes licorice, while the winegums are popular
Guys, you'd have to be used to some of these, since being a child. And we eat it when it's cold outside, with a strong wind directly in your face. Great fun to watch your faces while eating them. Very funny. We really like it. So, to ease your impression of Danish candy, trying to suggest something to you that you may like, go to a chocolate specialist, and try various handmade chocolate. That should do it ;) Cheers, Jacques
I think Maya made a wise choice from the caramel bag. Those caramel-flavoured “mini Twizzlers” are less sweet than the other ones, with the “foam’ filling, if that’s her preference. And yes, Smash is dangerously delicious!
It'd be interesting to hear your take on other things like beer (may I recommend Krenkerup), Danish TV and films, shops (I could see that your porcelain is top-of-line design) or sights.
Yeah, we are working on more of these. I am planning to do a Danish Christmas Beer video in the next few days to post next week. I will definitely try Krenkerup! I love trying new beers. I wish I'd researched before I went to Lolland earlier this year back in May, I would have gotten some then. But I will be back, we enjoyed it down there. We've been trying to visit various sites to put together DK travel videos, but at some point when I have enough footage I will put together some good summary videos of our top favorite museums, castles, restaurants, stores, etc. That may start to happen in the spring as it is tough to get out and about much at the moment. Thanks for watching and engaging with us. Keep the ideas coming, we love to hear from people!
@@TravelinYoung I'll be looking forward to your X-mas video. I live near the brewery and know they welcome and serve visitors in their own inn, but I'm sure you can also get their beer in Irmas or Brugsens around Copenhagen. If you bring your wife on your next visit down here, you may consider staying at Fuglsang Herregård. Very good food, friendly service and interesting surroundings including a fine Danish art museum. fuglsangherregaard.dk/
As one who have been to new York 7 times and Boston... I loooove twizzlers both strawberry and licorice, and sometimes you Can get Them here in Denmark 😊
I am Swedish and live in Michigan. Will travel far and wide to get my hands on salmiak licorice. Just got to have it. And Swedish fish is not something Swedes eat.
All the things you don't like, you can send to me. They are the best! 👍 😊 Next time try some classics: Tyrkisk pepper, super piratos, skiltelakrids and the ones called "spunk". 😉 🙈
@@TravelinYoung They are very nice. If you want a surprise, get a bag of "Fishermans Friends" - the original. Eucalyptus, Menthol and some other stuff. Take two, chew them, and chase with a large glass of cold milk. Going to Sweden? Do not go near the small conserves cans of "Surströmning". You will need a bucket, compressed air, dremel and lots of soap and water to get the smell out.
The first time I went to Denmark I bought some sweets to try what they were like and I had the same reaction as Maya haha. It is super strange but for me, the sweets must be sweets not salty or menthol and so are most of the sweets in Denmark. I personally do not like liquorice at all, but once walking with my wife through a small town we found a grocery store where they sold the sticks of the liquorice plant and I can tell you that they are delicious. Their mother told us that it was what children normally eat when they were little, so I would recommend that they try to find these liquorice sticks and try them until now it is for me the only way I can eat or chew the liquorice although I also like alcohol with liquorice.
The Danish candy is the same as the Dutch candy. The Haribo, Oldtimers, Fladfisk, Banana Skum, but also the eggs, teeth ...well i know all of them. And those oldtimers and fladfisk, well in The Netherlands we love our "Drop". Drop is very populair in the Nothern European countries. And that Green Eucalyptus, if its correct there are 2 variants, the harder and the softer variant. I like the softer variant when i have a cold. Its opening the nose
@@jonathanthomsen6440 For the Licorice, i wonder, the morge European countries love those. How is that? Not all people, but well something to do with the weather or more the fisherman we are ?? :)
@@jonathanthomsen6440 Lol, thank you. With my last reaction i was not referring to the candy Fisherman's Friend. But the real fisherman in the Northsea and so on :) . But you sure know a lot about candy. But do you also know why specially people from the more north European countries love that "Drop" taste? I grew up with that taste and a lot of Dutch people love it. I was on vacantion in Denmark and i also seen people eating "Drop". And the samen in Norway for example.
Fladfisk (flatfish) aren't really salty. They're somewhere between "sweet" (anised) liquorice and salty liquorice. A real challenge would be Piratos, Salmiakki and Fisherman's Friend as well as liquorice from genuine liquorice root
You should try out P-tærter. It's a chocolate covered french nougat with peanuts, by the same company that produces the Skum Bananer. I think you'd enjoy it.
I find it really interesting that it seems like Scandinavians like fladfisk and Tyrkisk pepper , and people from other countrys seems to really dislike them. but why didn't you guys try flagermus ! Only seen 2 of your videos , but i like to see what other people think of , what we as Danes think is natural .
What most Danes don't realize is that "Haribo" is a German company and brand. It is a abbreviation of the company founders name (HAns RI...) and the city he started his business in (BOnn). Most Danes think it is a brand named of maybe some Danish village or settlement, that hey really have no exact idea where about it is placed. This believe is also enforced since there actually exists a real city called "Maribo". Next time you come to Denmark, then ask any Dane where they think the village/settlement of Haribo is placed ... and smile friendly back when they try to guess it somewhere on the other side of the country.
I think we are many danes knowing Haribo is a german company, but the factory in Faxe produce af lot of danish candy classics, only for sale in Denmark!
Nice video, but you pretty much only tried the "plastic" candy. Try the harder ones. My suggestion is tyrkisk peber or anything from bon bon (make sure that you understand the names of them as you will be eating "duck food" and "landfill" just to name a few). I would love to see your reactions to those... My favorites
Heksehyl are absolutely the best. When I don´t eat strong licorice for a whole week, I get withdrawal symptoms. Must try those fladfisk sometime. It´s really funny to watch you eat Danish licorice!
Most of the candy in Denmark is chewy, because it's made with gelatin.. from boiling cow- or pig-skin, bones, and tendons, then skimming off the thin protein liquid. Some are made from fruit and vegetable gelatin, but that's mostly Katjes and other vegan choice candy.. enjoy 😁😋
So hilarious when Americans try licorice. Here are some random classic danish treats you should try: flødeboller, Prince chokoladekiks, Toms guldbarrer, p- tærter, Toms guldkarameller, flagermus, Faxe Kondi, Faxe Kondi Booster, røde hunde, skolekridt, sismofytter(licorice), studenterbrød/romkugler, hindbærsnitter, kanelsnegle(pastry), Toms skildpadder, matador mix, koldskål(dessert in summertime), jordbærtærte(pastry)...
You haven´t tasted salty licorice until you taste "Svensk djävlar" or the well known Djungelvrål. Licorice itself isn´t that bad, it is when they ad Salmiak to it it´s getting that funny taste many non-Scandinavians don´t like.
Exactly! Liquorice dipped in almost pure ammonium chloride (or salmiak) powder - thats the trick to get the most salty taste! And only scandinavians (or some of us) seems to love it! 😋😄 Remarkable that Haribo do not produce that kind of liquorice with strong salmiak powder, and never did, but fortunately swedish Malaco does! 👍
Try the hard csndy like Tyrkisk pepper, Kongen af Danmark, Athea bolsjer there are so many to choose from. Perhaps go to Nørregade bolsjer ( in Nørregade) where you cab watch them make hard candy.
Nice going with the licorice at any rate :) BTW. notice that HARIBO is German brand (acronym for HAns RIegel BOnn) and the cute "ring" is called a "sut" (pacifier) ... thanks for trying ;)
The line that is written om the "Haribo" candy bags says "luk op for noget godt.. luk op for Haribo". And IT means "Open Up for something yummi.. Open Up for Haribo". Or another way to say it "if you wan't something savory or yummi pick something from Haribo" :)
Great vids!!! But they make me home sick. And I got a suggestion for you do a vid on the different hotdogs you can get. Oh and flødeboller you have to try those but not the supermarket ones.
Try Toms chocolate turtle Called skildpadder and the national chocolate drink called Cocio. Soooo Nice Great video buy the Way and great having you with us here in Denmark. Big welcome from me.
When it comes to danish liqorice, you just have to Embrace it.. BTW, if you miss us snacks. Go to Meny, they have an american section with Pop Tarts etc
This is right up my alley! I was thinking of doing a Danish pastry taste test and eat those along with hindbærsnitter and a few other goodies. I am a sucker for that kind of treat!
Love Maya's comment that Fladfisk should be outlawed. And she's actually not entirely wrong. The 'salt' in Scandinavian salty liquorice is actually not table salt but ammonium chloride. To people who have not tasted it, it can be quite overwhelming, with a kick like horse radish. Anyway, I once heard that the Scandinavian countries have an exception from the EU food and health authorities which allows us to put more ammonium chloride in our food. So I guess that Fladfisk might be illegal in some countries - just like Maya wants... 😅
@@jonathanthomsen6440 I did not refer to Piratos in my post. But now you mention it: According to Wikipedia, Super Piratos is a product developed by (German) Haribo specifically for the Danish market in the 1950's...
weak danish licorice is equivalent to some strong liquorice anywhere else and you took the wrong mushrooms, the pink ones are the original mushrooms and all but the bananas are one bite not multiple (the "red things" might be to for some) "flad fisk" are the special version of "salt fisk" with stronger liquorice, the salt removes the sweetness of the liquorice and makes it stronger it's not a ring, it's a pacifier soft licorice is always more dangerous, great video
Just stumbled upon your channel, this video is so funny 😂😂 Love watching you guys struggle with the candy that young Danish kids gobble up. Hit us up if you ever go to Elsinore, we will do a city tour and possibly eat some more candy or something 😄 /Dad

Thanks, that is very nice of you to say! I am editing a new video now, should be up on Friday. I am trying to get 2 up a week!
From a dane, who love american tasting danish candy and the reaction. Try the following:
anton berg marcipan brød.
Skildpadder eller frøer ( Chocolate with cream of mint or caramel)
BonBon losseplads ( hard candy 😉 "warning" lakrids)
Tyrkisk peber( salty and very strong lakrids)😉
Yankee bar. (Danish Chocolate bar )
Kongen af Danmark ( sweet hard candy😃)
Chips: all chips from the 2 companies Kim's and Taffel (i like Kim's "american grill", and taffels "ostepops med chilly flavor" if you can find it.
Soft drinks: try jolly cola ( danish version of coca cola)
Face kondi ( danish version of sprite)(- even got it's own rap song now, as a side note)
Cocio ( Chocolate milk drink)
Alcohol strong: If you drink that, try the following:
enkelt (a danish bitter)
gammel dansk( very popular at Christmas) .
Små blå ( lakrids shots)
(PS. All to be found at a danish Christmas meal (julefrokost)
Hope you will try it all. A Dane looking forward to se your in reaction.
This is awesome! So we did just do another taste test with some friends the other night that I will hopefully get posted tomorrow morning. In that one we had the Turkish Pepper (soft candy version). We also had a Yankie bar, but the reactions weren't that interesting as it tastes a lot like a 3 musketeers bar in the US, so I didn't include that in the final video.
We will need to expand to other foods next time around. BTW, I love Faxe Kondi, especially the summer versions each year. And of course Cocio, the salted caramel and mint flavors are awesome!
Also, I am planning out a special Christmas episode where we try some different Julebryg and a Christmas lunch with herring, snaps, etc. Should be fun!
@@TravelinYoung Karl have not added it on his list but it is a must... which is the Danish farv Haribo super Piratos! Don´t eat to many of them or they will give you dirrhea but I feel like that will not happen. :3 but yeah if you never grew up with saltet licorice it is hard but if you would learn to like it, start with the sweet ones and go from there.
@@jonathanthomsen6440 that is true that it is made in Germany but I got a feeling it is made for the Danish market as I´m living in Germany Potsdam right now, and you can´t get it here beside at the border shops which drives me nuts that they don´t have a big selection of licorice down here >X(
@@jonathanthomsen6440 okay I just look the piratos up on haribos germany home side. they are made by the Danish haribo deparment which you can see on their home side.
@@jonathanthomsen6440 You are simply wrong Jonathan. You are right in that way that HARIBO is german. But HARIBO Lakrids A/S (former Sukkervarefabrikken Danmark 1926-1935 made by Christian Hansen) is danish and have a kor if producs. In 1935 his son (Eckhof Hansen) startet a produktion of liquirice in Denmark under the name HARIBO Lakrids A/S. In 1955 they startet making Piratos in the factory on Frederiksberg.
Yes, the licorice is an acquired taste - like blue cheese, you need to taste it a least 15 times - and then all of a sudden you will like it :-)
Fuck nej. Blue cheese er altid knarly. Lakrids smagte godt i første forsøg.
Mmm Piratos.. salmiak lakrids♥️ i had fun giving it to japanese🤭
Was laughing so hard when you were eating licorice! Hilarious!
Remember 1 time we was going to Hungary. Had a lot of candy in the car. All licorice. The kids Where we was going dont know it, just see candy. Licorice covered in color full Sugar. 2 sec Joy and then they spit it out
Du var på Vercingers stream tidligere 😆
As soon as I saw the cobblestone I started laughing. That taste doesn't leave in a while. Especially if you eat a few.
lol its not a ring its a pacifier :-)
Yep
No, it's a bottle opener
Greetings from Arkansas,
Hvordan går danskundervisningen ?
Super interesting stories about your move to Denmark and daily life.
Jess,
Greetings, thanks for watching! Danish class is going well! It is challenging and moves super fast, but we have a break over the holiday so we are going to study a ton.
Skumbananer is from Cloetta, a Swedish brand ;-). If you want to see a large assortment of candies then go to Sweden. Take the ferry from Helsingør to Helsingborg or take the train to Malmö. Find an ICA Maxi shop. The Swedes speak about "lördaggodis" in Danish Lørdags slik, Maya can translate to English.
This video is hilarious! I love this family. I guess us Danes are brought up to like liquorice, apparently Americans are not....hahaha
The red thing with the acid on is called a tivoli stang.. you can get them plain and sour.
Try flødeboller and skildpadder.. and if you like the american Swedish fish you would love "røde hunde".. they are same flavour and nearly same consitens.
Cool, I’ll try, thanks!
HAHA! "You can get them bigger at The Bordershop..." Semi-new to Denmark, and already in on the going-to-Germany-for-snacks routine - you guys are blending right in!
As for suggestions:
- "Rådne fisk" (lit. "rotten fish") a strawberry-flavoured hard-boiled sweet with delicious filling, from the Toms brand, under their "Bonbon"-selection.
- "Stang mix" , like the "Karamel Bits" you tried, but with fruity flavours mixed in also. Fantastic!
- "P-tærter" from the Carletti brand (like the "Skum Bananer"). Get the red bag, the original ones. French-nougat 'n peanuts covered in chocolate. Get addicted.
Have at it guys, and thanks for an awesome channel - really interesting views! :)
Yass!! I love the Stang mix, that is what I typically buy at the store. Thanks for watching!
@@TravelinYoung tell red haired it s not a ring, it s a pacifier😂😂😂
Licorice is not very popular for the younger generation, but the elders love it. Maybe because before candy existed here elders chewed "lakrids rod" or licorice root basicly a dried root that taste faintly of licorice and is slightly sweet, I like some salt licorice tho might be my Danish roots surging through my veins.
That is interesting to learn, I didn't know about the origin! I have noticed the true licorice fans seem to be a tad older. But I do suspect there is something from the past generations that helps keep it alive. As you say, perhaps it's just in your veins.
I'm addicted to the red and yellow tivolistænger. Very sweet but good. Maya's reactions were PRICELESS.....
Pro Tip: Don't put Skum Bananer in a drawer, put them in the refrigerator. That way you get a nice contrast between the crispy chocolate shell and the soft marshmallow inside.
Smash is absolutely amazing. I have brought it around to friends when visiting abroad, and it is always a hit. I don't know how popular they are in Denmark, but here in Norway you can get them everywhere.
It doesn't seem to be too popular here, it is hard to find. I agree, it is amazing! I have seen it at the airport (back in the days when I flew places) and a few days ago in a Circle K. Otherwise I need to just visit Norway more often :).
I love your reaction to salty licorice personally I love it so I even joined in when you tried the Fladfisk, however I will say that there is a lot of people who don’t like licorice, and even less likes salty candy 🍬
danish hard candy got a bonus feature.. its great for crushing it and mixing with vodka.. then let it dissolve for some days. makes awesome shots
That's the most danish thing i've seen today
I’m enjoying your videos so much. Your very honest reactions to many of our strange habits are so funny. My son in law is American, so you are giving me a better perspective on his experiences living in Denmark.
Try it on Tuesday: Gule ærter med kogt flæsk og sennep, med groft rugbrød til. Split pea soup with pork and mustard, accompanied by rye bread. An ancient hearty winter dish, if made properly, very nice and fulfilling. ( “Irma” has one ready made) or: Øllebrød med flødeskum. Rye bread ( nongrain) soaked and cooked with sugar, served with whipped cream. Also good old rural cuisine. Bon appetite!
Thanks for the tip and watching. I am happy to hear you enjoy our videos :).
Maya's reaction eating karamel bits is magical! 😄
Hats off to you guys for doing that well eating licorice. I have shared some with american friends whilst on holiday, and they described the flavor "Hate, sorrow sadness and tears of orphan puppies" You did good. Black licorice is an aquired taste, and ours is super salty.
this reminds me of the time, i was in ireland, me + all the girls in my class gathered together to taste irish candy, it was especially that moment the candy was thrown that reminded me of it, as we did that with it
The mom's laugh is hilarious!
I work in an international company and you are not alone with the dislike of licorice. Nearly all of my foreign colleagues dislikes licorice, while the winegums are popular
Guys, you'd have to be used to some of these, since being a child. And we eat it when it's cold outside, with a strong wind directly in your face. Great fun to watch your faces while eating them. Very funny. We really like it.
So, to ease your impression of Danish candy, trying to suggest something to you that you may like, go to a chocolate specialist, and try various handmade chocolate. That should do it ;)
Cheers,
Jacques
May I suggest: Carletti P-tærter (Peanuts-chocolade-marsmello)... I think you've like them.
Oh yes, super good!
I think Maya made a wise choice from the caramel bag. Those caramel-flavoured “mini Twizzlers” are less sweet than the other ones, with the “foam’ filling, if that’s her preference.
And yes, Smash is dangerously delicious!
Any fladfisk left. Will be happy to eat it for you :-)
Trade you for some chocolate
Haha! Unfortunately Maya gave all the leftovers to her Danish boyfriend. He was very happy :).
It'd be interesting to hear your take on other things like beer (may I recommend Krenkerup), Danish TV and films, shops (I could see that your porcelain is top-of-line design) or sights.
Yeah, we are working on more of these. I am planning to do a Danish Christmas Beer video in the next few days to post next week. I will definitely try Krenkerup! I love trying new beers. I wish I'd researched before I went to Lolland earlier this year back in May, I would have gotten some then. But I will be back, we enjoyed it down there.
We've been trying to visit various sites to put together DK travel videos, but at some point when I have enough footage I will put together some good summary videos of our top favorite museums, castles, restaurants, stores, etc. That may start to happen in the spring as it is tough to get out and about much at the moment.
Thanks for watching and engaging with us. Keep the ideas coming, we love to hear from people!
@@TravelinYoung I'll be looking forward to your X-mas video. I live near the brewery and know they welcome and serve visitors in their own inn, but I'm sure you can also get their beer in Irmas or Brugsens around Copenhagen. If you bring your wife on your next visit down here, you may consider staying at Fuglsang Herregård. Very good food, friendly service and interesting surroundings including a fine Danish art museum.
fuglsangherregaard.dk/
Tom's Yankee/Holly bar and the history behind those. Cocio chocolate milk, Anton Berg Marcipanbrød, Toms Påskeæg and some Spunk.
Oldtimers is actually Dutch. It's not a ring but a soother. The Eucalyptus is for when you have a sore throat.
I think Haribo is made in Germany
As one who have been to new York 7 times and Boston... I loooove twizzlers both strawberry and licorice, and sometimes you Can get Them here in Denmark 😊
Twizzlers rock! That was always my candy of choice at movie theaters.
Smash is amazing! The perfect mix of sweet and salty!
Agreed, smash is amazing!
I am Swedish and live in Michigan. Will travel far and wide to get my hands on salmiak licorice. Just got to have it. And Swedish fish is not something Swedes eat.
Haha, sounds like me and five guys.
Can’t go wrong with Five Guys!
So true, swedish fish isnt something scandinavians actually really like, and they are not even made in sweden.
Absolutely LOVE the video, you guys should try eating heksehyl....it a candy too
All the things you don't like, you can send to me. They are the best! 👍 😊
Next time try some classics: Tyrkisk pepper, super piratos, skiltelakrids and the ones called "spunk". 😉 🙈
The Germans and Scandinavians understand the licorice thing. Also some Brits get it. Give it a few years and you'll be hooked.
I've lived in Denmark for 4 years now and the only licorice I can eat is the chocolate covered Bülow licorice.
I'm sorry but I'll never be hooked 😂
@@jonathanthomsen6440 Well, Haribo itself is German 😉
And northern Germans are known to enjoy licorice as well
Even as Dane I never tried those liquorices. I think your ultimate test would be Haribo Super Piratos, they are really hardcore.
Yeah, we tried those in the second candy video we did....ugh. :)
@@TravelinYoung They are very nice. If you want a surprise, get a bag of "Fishermans Friends" - the original. Eucalyptus, Menthol and some other stuff. Take two, chew them, and chase with a large glass of cold milk.
Going to Sweden? Do not go near the small conserves cans of "Surströmning". You will need a bucket, compressed air, dremel and lots of soap and water to get the smell out.
Sorry, but Super Piratos are not hard core salty liquorice, then you have not tried really salty liquorice!
The first time I went to Denmark I bought some sweets to try what they were like and I had the same reaction as Maya haha. It is super strange but for me, the sweets must be sweets not salty or menthol and so are most of the sweets in Denmark. I personally do not like liquorice at all, but once walking with my wife through a small town we found a grocery store where they sold the sticks of the liquorice plant and I can tell you that they are delicious. Their mother told us that it was what children normally eat when they were little, so I would recommend that they try to find these liquorice sticks and try them until now it is for me the only way I can eat or chew the liquorice although I also like alcohol with liquorice.
The Danish candy is the same as the Dutch candy. The Haribo, Oldtimers, Fladfisk, Banana Skum, but also the eggs, teeth ...well i know all of them. And those oldtimers and fladfisk, well in The Netherlands we love our "Drop". Drop is very populair in the Nothern European countries. And that Green Eucalyptus, if its correct there are 2 variants, the harder and the softer variant. I like the softer variant when i have a cold. Its opening the nose
@@jonathanthomsen6440 For the Licorice, i wonder, the morge European countries love those. How is that? Not all people, but well something to do with the weather or more the fisherman we are ?? :)
@@jonathanthomsen6440 Lol, thank you. With my last reaction i was not referring to the candy Fisherman's Friend. But the real fisherman in the Northsea and so on :) . But you sure know a lot about candy. But do you also know why specially people from the more north European countries love that "Drop" taste? I grew up with that taste and a lot of Dutch people love it. I was on vacantion in Denmark and i also seen people eating "Drop". And the samen in Norway for example.
I recommend trying a bag of Labre Larver, a Lakridspibe, and a Tom's Skildpadde.
Fladfisk (flatfish) aren't really salty. They're somewhere between "sweet" (anised) liquorice and salty liquorice.
A real challenge would be Piratos, Salmiakki and Fisherman's Friend as well as liquorice from genuine liquorice root
You should try out P-tærter. It's a chocolate covered french nougat with peanuts, by the same company that produces the Skum Bananer. I think you'd enjoy it.
you forgot piratos!
Haha, we did make up for that in the second candy video we did. My friend Danish Elizabeth made sure to join us and bring the good stuff :).
There is also ice cream flavored with skum bananer. Very tasty :)
Wait what?!?! What is it called...I must have!

@@KimDahl77 yasss!!!
I find it really interesting that it seems like Scandinavians like fladfisk and Tyrkisk pepper , and people from other countrys seems to really dislike them. but why didn't you guys try flagermus ! Only seen 2 of your videos , but i like to see what other people think of , what we as Danes think is natural .
What most Danes don't realize is that "Haribo" is a German company and brand. It is a abbreviation of the company founders name (HAns RI...) and the city he started his business in (BOnn).
Most Danes think it is a brand named of maybe some Danish village or settlement, that hey really have no exact idea where about it is placed. This believe is also enforced since there actually exists a real city called "Maribo".
Next time you come to Denmark, then ask any Dane where they think the village/settlement of Haribo is placed ... and smile friendly back when they try to guess it somewhere on the other side of the country.
I think we are many danes knowing Haribo is a german company, but the factory in Faxe produce af lot of danish candy classics, only for sale in Denmark!
The fladfisk is dangerously addictive, it was just there yum yum yum.Emptty.
Scum Bananas! Great name, I'm using that forever! :)
Nice video, but you pretty much only tried the "plastic" candy. Try the harder ones. My suggestion is tyrkisk peber or anything from bon bon (make sure that you understand the names of them as you will be eating "duck food" and "landfill" just to name a few). I would love to see your reactions to those... My favorites
Heksehyl are absolutely the best. When I don´t eat strong licorice for a whole week, I get withdrawal symptoms. Must try those fladfisk sometime. It´s really funny to watch you eat Danish licorice!
Most of the candy in Denmark is chewy, because it's made with gelatin.. from boiling cow- or pig-skin, bones, and tendons, then skimming off the thin protein liquid.
Some are made from fruit and vegetable gelatin, but that's mostly Katjes and other vegan choice candy.. enjoy 😁😋
So hilarious when Americans try licorice.
Here are some random classic danish treats you should try: flødeboller, Prince chokoladekiks, Toms guldbarrer, p- tærter, Toms guldkarameller, flagermus, Faxe Kondi, Faxe Kondi Booster, røde hunde, skolekridt, sismofytter(licorice), studenterbrød/romkugler, hindbærsnitter, kanelsnegle(pastry), Toms skildpadder, matador mix, koldskål(dessert in summertime), jordbærtærte(pastry)...
@@jonathanthomsen6440 my friend, it’s all good. It’s still a part of the danish tradition:)
@@jonathanthomsen6440 så vi to;)!
love your view from your window... you must live outside of town somewhere ..
We are definitely not made for city living 😂
Ha ha, awesome. I'll take the rest of the fladfisk. Did you guys try flæskesvær yet? As part of your education you should aslo try Super Piratos :)
Haha, yeah I think I chipped a tooth the last time I had some :). We did eat some super piratos in a second video we did. Not my style :).
Skum actually means "foam", so yeah it could remind you of something to throw in the pool haha
I’m from denmark and I love all the candy there
Great video and y'all are brave to do this
Salt lakris os my favorite i need it every day, especially the haribo xtra salt edition. I usually eat it, untill the skin in my mouth is sore 💕
You haven´t tasted salty licorice until you taste "Svensk djävlar" or the well known Djungelvrål. Licorice itself isn´t that bad, it is when they ad Salmiak to it it´s getting that funny taste many non-Scandinavians don´t like.
Exactly! Liquorice dipped in almost pure ammonium chloride (or salmiak) powder - thats the trick to get the most salty taste! And only scandinavians (or some of us) seems to love it! 😋😄
Remarkable that Haribo do not produce that kind of liquorice with strong salmiak powder, and never did, but fortunately swedish Malaco does! 👍
Does the fladfisk offer still stand? :P
I was watching Mayas face whenever she put something new in her mouth. PRICELESS!
Try the hard csndy like Tyrkisk pepper, Kongen af Danmark, Athea bolsjer there are so many to choose from. Perhaps go to Nørregade bolsjer ( in Nørregade) where you cab watch them make hard candy.
You should try all the different chokolades and there is so much hardcandy. Also all the different chips
Nice going with the licorice at any rate :) BTW. notice that HARIBO is German brand (acronym for HAns RIegel BOnn) and the cute "ring" is called a "sut" (pacifier) ... thanks for trying ;)
The line that is written om the "Haribo" candy bags says "luk op for noget godt.. luk op for Haribo".
And IT means "Open Up for something yummi.. Open Up for Haribo".
Or another way to say it "if you wan't something savory or yummi pick something from Haribo" :)
Great vids!!! But they make me home sick. And I got a suggestion for you do a vid on the different hotdogs you can get. Oh and flødeboller you have to try those but not the supermarket ones.
Yes, this one is on the list!
Try Toms chocolate turtle Called skildpadder and the national chocolate drink called Cocio. Soooo Nice Great video buy the Way and great having you with us here in Denmark. Big welcome from me.
Cocio, love it! That mint version they had for a while was insane! I’ll grab some turtles this weekend :).
When it comes to danish liqorice, you just have to Embrace it.. BTW, if you miss us snacks. Go to Meny, they have an american section with Pop Tarts etc
I am danish :D
Have you guys been to Bonbonland?
If not, you should try it once the lockdown is over, if for nothing else, the candy.
You should try romkugler and flødeboller!
This is right up my alley! I was thinking of doing a Danish pastry taste test and eat those along with hindbærsnitter and a few other goodies. I am a sucker for that kind of treat!
Love Maya's comment that Fladfisk should be outlawed. And she's actually not entirely wrong. The 'salt' in Scandinavian salty liquorice is actually not table salt but ammonium chloride. To people who have not tasted it, it can be quite overwhelming, with a kick like horse radish.
Anyway, I once heard that the Scandinavian countries have an exception from the EU food and health authorities which allows us to put more ammonium chloride in our food. So I guess that Fladfisk might be illegal in some countries - just like Maya wants... 😅
@@jonathanthomsen6440 I did not refer to Piratos in my post. But now you mention it: According to Wikipedia, Super Piratos is a product developed by (German) Haribo specifically for the Danish market in the 1950's...
weak danish licorice is equivalent to some strong liquorice anywhere else
and you took the wrong mushrooms, the pink ones are the original mushrooms
and all but the bananas are one bite not multiple (the "red things" might be to for some)
"flad fisk" are the special version of "salt fisk" with stronger liquorice, the salt removes the sweetness of the liquorice and makes it stronger
it's not a ring, it's a pacifier
soft licorice is always more dangerous,
great video
Just stumbled upon your channel, this video is so funny 😂😂 Love watching you guys struggle with the candy that young Danish kids gobble up. Hit us up if you ever go to Elsinore, we will do a city tour and possibly eat some more candy or something 😄
