Cut it like halfway through every few centimeters so you get slits where you can put cheese, ketchup, onion and whatever else you want. Edit I had not watched it before commenting, from your comments it didn't seem like you did this, turns out you did.

Fun fact about Falukorv: It actually started more than 1000 years ago, BUT the falukorv-story is from the 1600s I think, in the boom of the mine. They used to make the rope to the "lift" out of cows hair, because it would creak in a different note when it was about to break. Thus, every time they needed a new rope, a LOT of kattle got killed. That turned into a massive korv-industry and has been ever sense. The boom in the 70s is because we really leaned into the pre-fabricated stuff back then. Spam and his friends, you know. But the falukorv is older.
Apart from the obvious one, Smörgåstårta, probably the best Swedish food in the world, one thing I'd add to the top of your list is "Janssons frestelse". It's good just on its own, but is superb served with meatballs! You'll never want to settle for mashed potatoes with your meatballs again after that!
funnily enough I'm filming a video about smörgåstårta this weekend - still got to be convinced there you see! I have actually tried janssons frestelse too, but I must admit I have to try it a few more times before I'm prepared to put it on a list like this😅😱
@@JustaBritAbroad Just mashed potatoes on it's own is also not something for a list like this, but meatballs with Janssons frestelse readily beats meatballs with mashed potatoes every time!
Falukorv is actually quite old stems from the 1600th to the 1700’s and we’re made from oxes and horses. They made rope from the skin of the horses and oxes and it was in high demand. So they had to do something about all the meat left over and this way the falukorv was born 😃
The name falu in falukorv is from Falun. Falun is also know for the iconic red paint (falu röd färg) which most people assoiates sweden with and also the Copper mine in Falun.
All looks tasty.. My grandmother in Finland was a Swedish Speaking Finn her native tongue was Swedish. So one of the dishes she would cook is Swedish meatballs..So all the times I go to Ikea, eating the food reminds me of her.
Love your list of good food! Falukorv is a necessity.... should be about 70% meat like Sorunda korv. Have you tried "dillkött"? The very best of all Swedish food! But must be cooked by someone who knows a thing or two bout this dish....
Thanks Christina! haven't tried dillkött actually, but maybe I'll have to look into it now - as you say though, with someone that knows a thing or two about how to prepare it!
@@JustaBritAbroad Beware that there are many recipes for Jansons, some are outright bad. But when done right Jansson’s is the no 1 Swedish culinary invention, in my opinion.
What are we having for dinner today? Falukorv - of course... what a coincidense! But not with mash, this time with maccaronies - another traditionel way to serve our beloved saucage. By the way I prefer Änglamark falukorv (organic from Coop) wich has a higher meat content (64 % both beef and pork) and is smoked using real alder wood, taste the difference! Bon appetit.
Yes if you have not tried it you should really stew the macaroons with milk a tad cream, nutmeg white peppers salt. And eat with the falukorv and ketchup
oh you are? fun🤩 what are the chances😅 thanks for the falukorv tips though, that's really good to know, I'll bear it in mind!! hope you enjoyed your falukorv last night!
@@andersstromqvist2211 Since it is all about percentage, I use full fat cream for my stew! No nutmeg , but I will try it next time - I use nutmeg to season my mashed potatoes. Milk - really cold - is the preferred drink to this dish, may sound childish but that is a fact. A cool lager will go down as well...
That dish was the second most common in swedish lunchboxes that we bring to work. Personally I prefer Jägarfalu from Scan or the very best falkorv there is... Jokkmokksfalu. Hard to find and rather expensive. But marvellous!
Rarely eat lingonberries, (mostly with fläskpannkaka n blodpudding) I Love pressgurka or smörgåsgurka to meatballs btw have you tried pyttipanna n pölsa?? (im a bit weird if i have eggs with pytt, i want ketchup, no eggs i want pickled beats )
You made a good choice, apart from Wallenbergare, which is mostly eaten in restaurants, I make the other dishes quite often myself at home. Perhaps I miss a something with fish, why not just fried 'strömming' with mashed potatoes and butter, like you get them on a Waxholm steamer in the Stockholm archipelago. Mmmmmm :)
Falukorv has been around much longer. It originally was made at the copper mine in Falun. They used leather ropes and needed to make something from the meat as well.
I think you are getting it now! :) Some more Swedish food to try out: 1. Gustavskorv. I prefer it as a late night "snack" on "knäckebröd" (brand: Falu rågrut), with some good mustard on top. Slice the sausage very thin. Make sure you put the butter on the correct side of any knäckebröd - the rougher side (there is some debate of the correct side for the butter even among Swedes). There are other ways to serve this sausage, the above is just what I prefer. This kind of sausage is basically never ever served in restaurants. It might even be hard to find in a supermarket. The "shelflife" of the sausage is very short, eat it all fast. 2. Herrgårdsost, the matured versions. Just as Västerbottenost, this is a cheese that has a very unique taste, that you basically don´t find in the rest of the world. I prefer it on a regular "ostmacka". None of the above might be "bangers", but as a Swede abroad, I miss both a lot.
interesting!! I've had and love herrgårdsost but I don't know if I've tried gustavskorv before🤔 I'll have to add it to the list to try again in case I've missed it!! can totally relate to missing some of your home favs when you live abroad though!
@@JustaBritAbroad Just a word of warning: I absolutely love Gustavskorv in the same way as described by Joker VIenna but just bear in mind that it's made from horse meat which some (quite a few to be honest) find unacceptable to eat, hence the scarce availability in restaurants and shops.
@@JustaBritAbroad there is one more sausage you can try out: ystadkorv. I prefer that one one a sandwich too (thinly sliced). You will not find this one in restaurants either, check the supermarket. :)
Korvstroganoff is hands down one of the best meals there is. Which reminds me that I’ve pretty much never made it. I’ll put it in my list of everyday recepies right away!
Falukorv = sausage from Falun. Similar to the American bologna. Vasterbottenost is similar to Parmiggiano. but much better. Expensive because only produced in a small area.
Not sure if it was on that other list, but you have to try pytt-i-panna, serve with pickled beetroot slices & fried egg. About the falukorv, you could just make slices and fry them, make sure you cut them from the middle to the edge to prevent them from blobbing and they will look just like pac-man.
Falukorv where invented as far back as 1600s, not 1970s. Originally falukorv where made by bulls meat, not cow meat or pork. Once the bulls where worn out from the mining, nearly 24/7, they where butchered and made into falusausages for the miners to eat during work. Stroganov is russian food brought to Sweden. More about that meal I don't know.
oh it was? that makes much more sense - I did some googling when I researched this video but could only find mentions of it more recently, which surprised me, because it felt like a dish that had been around for a long time. cheap, easy to produce and quick to use, it felt like something that would have started its life when Sweden was a poorer nation!
You should try Falukorv with, cheese, hole tomatoes, tarragon and dried plum and served with mashed potatoes. You dived falukorven(800g) into 3 parts, and do thin slices(~1cm and not throu, som falukorven holds together after been sliced.), and then you put a slice of swedish cheddar like Kvibille cheddar between each slice. And it will look stupid, because cheese take upp lot of room, and then you understand why you needed to splitt it up to at least 3 parts. Little olj in bottom of tray, place your 3 falukorvs bits in that, and then use two cans of hole tomatoes(NOT on falukorven), and then salt and tarragon, and 2 more cans, sometimes that is to much, and other times you might need a fifth can.(Size of your tray will tell you, but very importen that at least 2-3cm of falukorv are above the tomatoes to get a chans to crisp up.) And som dried plums, if u don't like them, don't use them, they are not that importen for taste of the dish. And 200-225C, time no idea, i take it out then i see cheese turns brown and also falukorven, and that tomatoes are boiling, otherwise some tinfoil over så you not burn it, and lower temp some. But i rarely need to do that, it usually both ready att same time.
Nailed it! They are all five favs of mine. If you want your meatballs to taste extra good try making them out of Elk meat. MInced and mixed with some "blandfärs" about 50/50 Gives the meatballs a taste of the wilds :) And dont forget all the different spices and finely chopped onion. GL with them.
As a child, and even as a young person like you, I did not like REAL husmanskost - kroppkakor, kålpudding/kåldolmar, raggmunk med fläsk, strömmingsflundror. Nowadays I love it - I love all food from wherever. Truffle fungus is the taste I still have to learn. I will before I die. I am so happy to not being vegan, vegetarian, lactose- or gluten intolerant, having religious food restrictions. I am an eater.
Sorry, I'm American and 75% Swedish but I can't understand many words you say. Vasterbottens ost is like Parmiggiano for the Italians. Have you tried Rubaberpai med vanilsas? A must! Here we need subtitles.
Not sure if anyone already mentioned it, but since you enjoy Wallenbergare, have you looked into Biff Lindström as well? Minced beef, beat root, onion and capers into the patty if I recall the recipe. Actually that dish has several disputed background stories. The most recited one is that a Swede who grew up in Russia went back to Sweden and had the hotel restaurant he was staying on cook him the dish. Some claim another restaurant came up with the dish, and the Norwegians firmly believe it was Norwegian ship chef who constructed it. I watched your original video and that you don't like fruit on pizza, which is a perfectly fine standpoint. Thus I suppose suggesting Flygande Jacob also won't fit your tastebuds, since it is (grilled) chicken with banana, chili/ketchup, cream, bacon and peanuts. Many Swedes have a love-hate relation to this 1970's dish, a bit like whether you're for or against the Janssons frestelse as already mentioned below.
Falukorv is not from the 70s, it goes way back. They started making it in the town of Falun, because of the copper mine. This goes back to before we had steam engines. Back then to transport copper, and miners up and down the mine, huge buckets held up by lines made of oxhide were used. It required 600 oxes to produce 125 meters of these lines. That meant they had a lot of meat. So they started making sausage out of it, and so the Falukorv was born. Of course, today it's made out of pork.
I think you touched on some great dishes but youre missing out if you havent tried a proper "älg gryta", "älg skav gryta", or even "renskav". Admittedly its not cheap meat to get if youainly live in larger cities in the south and/or dont hunt or know someone who hunts, but its a must try for swedish cuisine and can typically be found (atleast in the north) in places that serve husmanskost, (tho tbh I think it tastes best when homemade)
You are talking about the Wallenbergare as if it has a filling of butter and cream? "When you cut in to it it ooze out all that butter and cream" I've never had one like that it's just in the meat mix :/
*"De Bästa Husmanskost"* is not correct Swedish grammar. "Den bästa husmanskosten" would be better although it kind of suggests that you're talking about just one dish. "Husmanskostsfavoriter" would actually work. Or "Husmanskostens bästa rätter".
Falukorv is little as finnish lenkkimakkara. The biggest difference is that finnish sausages are much better 😁. My relatives always got to get some sausage when they come to Finland and ususaly they buy lotts of it and takes back home to Sweden when they visit. Other things thay buy from here is mustard, Karelian pies and finnish beer from the vessel (cheaper to buy from Tax Free).
I really liked how you answered many different questions in this video🤗. I was wondering when you took Swedish classes in the UK, what level of Swedish did you have when you came to Sweden and what helped you move from A1 to the higher language levels that you are speaking now?
Personally, I can't eat korv stroganoff made with any other kind of sausage than falukorv. It just doesn't taste right! 😂 I will also toot my own horn and say that my korv stroganoff is the BEST korv stroganoff! 😁💪 Dammit, now I'm hungry... 😂
@@attesmatte The korv stroganoff I have had is a pasta based dish with a cream and tomato base with falukorv and onions. Look up a recipe for beef stroganoff is basically the same recipe, except real meat, sometimes it has mushrooms. My mother-in-law made korv stroganoff, It was slightly better than the stuff Klien's Kitchen serves at Internationella Engelska Skolan. Real Falukorv, made with horse is good has a unique taste and good textures. I object to the +30% potato starch pork pink slime that people try to pass off as falukorv, when it is cheap bologna shaped gor a Swedish audience.
@@lindatisue733 "Real meat"... Well, I guess you just outed yourself there. You think falukorv is beneath you? The falukorv I buy has 70% meat in it. And I just Googled several beef stroganoff recipes, and again, these two dishes have nothing whatsoever to do with each other, except sharing half their names. 🙄
If you find yourself in Stockholm (don't know where you live) you should try a restaurant called Meatballs for the people. They have meatballs made out of a variety of meats, the classic one, made out of beef, pork. Then they have veal, deer, ox, boar, chicken, vegetarian and elk. And it's really tasty. :) Hope you find it and enjoy it. Edit: removed wrong info.
Many countries have their own version of the "Falukorv". In Finland "Lauantaimakkara", in Russia "Doctor Sausage", and even in US, "Baloney ". You dont have anything similar in Britain?
Falukorv is good for everything. After an evening with beers and socialisation you begin to feel a little bit hungry, rounding the evening off with some Swedish rye crisp bred with slices of Falukorv on it is a perfect way to end a "beer crawl". Also tried and approved by some Belgians at a Swedish-Belgian wedding. After some intense festivities and dancing people began to get hungry a few hours after midnight and Falukorv, Spisbröd (round Swedish crisp bread of rye) and some butter did the trick. 🙂
Some dishes that will definitely grow on you a lot everytime you have it are: *Kroppkakor* (potato dumplings filled with minced meat and onions), served with rårörda lingon (uncooked lingonberries mixed with sugar) *Kålpudding* (a mixture of chopped cabbage, minced meat, onions and syrup, which is baked in the oven) *Bruna bönor med fläsk* (literally "brown beans with pork") And of course, since there are many mentions in your videos of mashed potatoes, I feel obligated to mention *rotmos.* Rotmos is the same idea as mashed potatoes, just add carrots, parsnip and rutabaga into the mix.. ehm, *mash.*
Falukorv contains both beef and pork. You forgot to mention that. And the types of spices obviously makes the entire thing special, like ginger and nutmeg.
YES x 5! Especially Falu Sausage in the owen, mmmmm! (NOT with apple though, just slices of onion and tomato and topped with LOTS of hot mustard and graded cheese! LOL!). And Korv Stroganoff (Falu sausage Stroganoff) seasoned with, heinz ketchup, black pepper and Basil, served with Jasmin rice...mmmmm! Can't be simpler to make, nor more delicious to eat... 👍😉❤
Well, you rose to be a hangaround to become a swedish viking. To be a Prospect you need to do "Swedish meatballs", in your kitchen frome scratch! Or any other minced meat meal or those "Falukorvmeals" that you described . And then, there are more to it.. old customes, on Tuesday its fried pork, whit brown beans and boild potatoes, at Thursday its yellow pie soup, whit pork or/and "fläskkorv", and panncakes as a desert, whit wipped cream and jam! Actually you can do more about swedish food, get a goe at it, it could be a funny video, you trying to make swedish food, serving it to your girlfiend and other friends! But take my advice, ask your mother in law and other friends that know about making swedish "husmanskost"! And dont even think about buing the wrong sort of lingonberrys, some is for the pancakes (there are better beryjams for those), it should be "rårörda lingon" to meals.
Fun fact: The world-famous Västerbotten cheese is made in the small village of Burträsk and only there. In the beginning it was called Burträskost. It can not be manufactured anywhere else, and no one knows for sure why? They tried to start making it in Umeå, but the cheese did not taste the same there.
Love all the items on the list! Made me a little homesick watching especially made me long for falukorv, not easy to get around here. Will you be making a vlog about svensk julmat? And jultraditioner? From a swede in Scotland.
ah no of course! I relate hard to this, because I feel the same about my beloved clotted cream that I can't get anymore since moving to Sweden😱 but that's a good idea about a christmas video, hadn't really considered it, but now you mention!!
@@davideek8248 they do deliver all over the UK. I do order from them but only a couple of times a year. Waiting on delivery just now for Christmas food.
Korv stroganoff is one of my absolute favourites. The actual product is regulated in law here in Sweden for meat content. Served with rice, pasta or mash and the way my daughter makes it is incredible.
This is so weird! I couldn't find you and then when I did, I saw that I wasn't a sub! How? Well, now I am. Again. lol! Weird huh! Yes, Västerbottens ostpaj is very tasty. I love pies, almost any pie. Wallenbergare - classic! I love the IKEA-meatballs very much, however my hubby makes even better ones in my humble opinion lol! Falukorv och pasta - so easy to make. Even I can pull it off. Is that the right expression? A bit foggy today. Gratinerad falukorv, yes, lovely! Korv Stroganoff and beef Stroganoff. I love it! My mother-in-law used to make the most wonderful Dillkött. I don't know the English word for it. But that's really tasty. And my mom use to make a great meat stew, but I cannot remember the recipe. If I do - I'll send it to you. I'm looking forward to this Christmas when you're trying lutfrisk ;)) :DDDD As I told you before, my parents are from the North of Sweden so I love lutfisk with white sauce and cooked potatoes. Otherwise, I'm not that fond of the Swedish Christmas table at all. I think I've gotten tired of the food. No idea why. But I'd rather prefer a nice BBQ instead. Not very Swedish, I know. I was wondering, is there any food/dishes that are similar to the British food culture? I should know, but hey - I can't recall! Perhaps similar stews? Or something like that? Just curious. A video about that perhaps? I'm really looking forward to the day I can travel safe to the U.K. again. I so miss going to London, watching a play on the theatre, having a nice meal etc. The ambience of London. Have a nice weekend! :)
Only one thing missing from your Wallenbergare. Clarified butter. You pour some clarified butter over the dish before you serve it. One of the best dishes we have, no doubt!👍
Oven baked falukorv with ketchup, mustard and cheese on top is awesome.

Falukorv = sausage from Falun. Similar to the American bologna. Vasterbottenost is similar to Parmiggiano. but much better. Expensive because only produced in a small area.
You should so much do one with you favorite Swedish pastry’s
funnily enough I did do a fika one back in the days, it was one of my first videos ever! but its time for an update, you're right!!
@@JustaBritAbroad I think we have around 35 different "tårtor", to start with.
Salted Pork with Potatoes and Onionsause =) totally a classic =),,, Reindeer stew and mashed potatoes,,, lovly =)
i have to ask does the ketchup in Sweden have "High Fructose Corn Syrup"
Not sure if it was on that other list, but you have to try pytt-i-panna, serve with pickled beetroot slices & fried egg.
About the falukorv, you could just make slices and fry them, make sure you cut them from the middle to the edge to prevent them from blobbing and they will look just like pac-man.
Guess you missed the best swedish foods ever, Oxrulader and Tjälknöl... A lot of work, but done right nothing beats them...
Falukorv where invented as far back as 1600s, not 1970s. Originally falukorv where made by bulls meat, not cow meat or pork. Once the bulls where worn out from the mining, nearly 24/7, they where butchered and made into falusausages for the miners to eat during work.
Stroganov is russian food brought to Sweden. More about that meal I don't know.
oh it was? that makes much more sense - I did some googling when I researched this video but could only find mentions of it more recently, which surprised me, because it felt like a dish that had been around for a long time. cheap, easy to produce and quick to use, it felt like something that would have started its life when Sweden was a poorer nation!
You should try Falukorv with, cheese, hole tomatoes, tarragon and dried plum and served with mashed potatoes.
You dived falukorven(800g) into 3 parts, and do thin slices(~1cm and not throu, som falukorven holds together after been sliced.), and then you put a slice of swedish cheddar like Kvibille cheddar between each slice.
And it will look stupid, because cheese take upp lot of room, and then you understand why you needed to splitt it up to at least 3 parts.
Little olj in bottom of tray, place your 3 falukorvs bits in that, and then use two cans of hole tomatoes(NOT on falukorven), and then salt and tarragon, and 2 more cans, sometimes that is to much, and other times you might need a fifth can.(Size of your tray will tell you, but very importen that at least 2-3cm of falukorv are above the tomatoes to get a chans to crisp up.)
And som dried plums, if u don't like them, don't use them, they are not that importen for taste of the dish.
And 200-225C, time no idea, i take it out then i see cheese turns brown and also falukorven, and that tomatoes are boiling, otherwise some tinfoil over så you not burn it, and lower temp some.
But i rarely need to do that, it usually both ready att same time.
vesta button? It's Westbottom (directly translated).
The original Falukorv was made from horse and ox meat from the copper mine in Falu.
Nailed it! They are all five favs of mine. If you want your meatballs to taste extra good try making them out of Elk meat. MInced and mixed with some "blandfärs" about 50/50 Gives the meatballs a taste of the wilds :) And dont forget all the different spices and finely chopped onion. GL with them.
If you gonna makes stroganoff buy fresh dill and chop chop! it's a gamechanger!
As a child, and even as a young person like you, I did not like REAL husmanskost - kroppkakor, kålpudding/kåldolmar, raggmunk med fläsk, strömmingsflundror. Nowadays I love it - I love all food from wherever. Truffle fungus is the taste I still have to learn. I will before I die. I am so happy to not being vegan, vegetarian, lactose- or gluten intolerant, having religious food restrictions. I am an eater.
Sorry, I'm American and 75% Swedish but I can't understand many words you say. Vasterbottens ost is like Parmiggiano for the Italians. Have you tried Rubaberpai med vanilsas? A must! Here we need subtitles.
Swedish cuisine summarized in three words: "Meat, fish, potatoes." Done! Obviously there's much more to it but that's basically what it is
Not sure if anyone already mentioned it, but since you enjoy Wallenbergare, have you looked into Biff Lindström as well? Minced beef, beat root, onion and capers into the patty if I recall the recipe.
Actually that dish has several disputed background stories. The most recited one is that a Swede who grew up in Russia went back to Sweden and had the hotel restaurant he was staying on cook him the dish. Some claim another restaurant came up with the dish, and the Norwegians firmly believe it was Norwegian ship chef who constructed it.
I watched your original video and that you don't like fruit on pizza, which is a perfectly fine standpoint. Thus I suppose suggesting Flygande Jacob also won't fit your tastebuds, since it is (grilled) chicken with banana, chili/ketchup, cream, bacon and peanuts. Many Swedes have a love-hate relation to this 1970's dish, a bit like whether you're for or against the Janssons frestelse as already mentioned below.
Falukorv is not from the 70s, it goes way back. They started making it in the town of Falun, because of the copper mine. This goes back to before we had steam engines. Back then to transport copper, and miners up and down the mine, huge buckets held up by lines made of oxhide were used. It required 600 oxes to produce 125 meters of these lines. That meant they had a lot of meat. So they started making sausage out of it, and so the Falukorv was born. Of course, today it's made out of pork.
I eat Falukorv every now and then. Must say It doesn't ever cause cravings though...
Falukorv is a variant of italian Bologna. So is falukorv, it is just swedish baloney!
I do not get it with Falukorv. Yes I am a Swede but I rather be hungry than eat the dreadful Falukorv.
I think you touched on some great dishes but youre missing out if you havent tried a proper "älg gryta", "älg skav gryta", or even "renskav". Admittedly its not cheap meat to get if youainly live in larger cities in the south and/or dont hunt or know someone who hunts, but its a must try for swedish cuisine and can typically be found (atleast in the north) in places that serve husmanskost, (tho tbh I think it tastes best when homemade)
The falukorv in the oven. If you also add cheese to the sausage it's called "blommig falukorv" and they even did a hit song about it.
Vallenbea? You mean "Wallenbergare" just säg "burger" but with an E instead of U.
I tell my foreign friends that a lot of Swedish cooking is really just an excuse to eat lingonberry jam.
Have you had a good plank steak yeat? That seems like a pretty specific way of serving steak
You are talking about the Wallenbergare as if it has a filling of butter and cream? "When you cut in to it it ooze out all that butter and cream" I've never had one like that it's just in the meat mix :/
*"De Bästa Husmanskost"* is not correct Swedish grammar. "Den bästa husmanskosten" would be better although it kind of suggests that you're talking about just one dish. "Husmanskostsfavoriter" would actually work. Or "Husmanskostens bästa rätter".
I have always thought of Korvstroganoff as the poor mans version of beefstroganoff
Falukorv is little as finnish lenkkimakkara. The biggest difference is that finnish sausages are much better 😁. My relatives always got to get some sausage when they come to Finland and ususaly they buy lotts of it and takes back home to Sweden when they visit. Other things thay buy from here is mustard, Karelian pies and finnish beer from the vessel (cheaper to buy from Tax Free).
Falukorv is Pork and Beef :) 58% at least SCAN
När du är inne på kalvkött. Testa dillkött också. Min favvo.
what about skomakar låda ( shoemaker's box) yummy
Falukorv has been famous in Sweden since the 1800's :P
Did not see flygande Jakob in this video or the other one could recommend if you have not tried it
I really liked how you answered many different questions in this video🤗. I was wondering when you took Swedish classes in the UK, what level of Swedish did you have when you came to Sweden and what helped you move from A1 to the higher language levels that you are speaking now?
I miss (home made) PyttiPanna on the list. Only mentioned before by just 1 (one) ! person yet :(
With a fried egg and pickled beetroot!
@@Johan_g yeeesss! Fried egg, sunny side up
@@Johan_g Yeeesss!!!
funnily enough I've talked about this in another video and people were shocked that I rated this dish so well!!
beetroot is a gamechanger!!
Personally, I can't eat korv stroganoff made with any other kind of sausage than falukorv. It just doesn't taste right! 😂 I will also toot my own horn and say that my korv stroganoff is the BEST korv stroganoff! 😁💪
Dammit, now I'm hungry... 😂
Stroganoff should be made with beef, not sausage.
@@lindatisue733
Are you Swedish or living in Sweden?
There's beef stroganoff, and there Swedish sausage stroganoff. They are not even related.
@@attesmatte The korv stroganoff I have had is a pasta based dish with a cream and tomato base with falukorv and onions. Look up a recipe for beef stroganoff is basically the same recipe, except real meat, sometimes it has mushrooms. My mother-in-law made korv stroganoff, It was slightly better than the stuff Klien's Kitchen serves at Internationella Engelska Skolan. Real Falukorv, made with horse is good has a unique taste and good textures. I object to the +30% potato starch pork pink slime that people try to pass off as falukorv, when it is cheap bologna shaped gor a Swedish audience.
@@lindatisue733
"Real meat"... Well, I guess you just outed yourself there. You think falukorv is beneath you? The falukorv I buy has 70% meat in it.
And I just Googled several beef stroganoff recipes, and again, these two dishes have nothing whatsoever to do with each other, except sharing half their names. 🙄
oh it is? brb, on my way over Sara😅
You forgot, spenatsoppa, kalops, dillkött!!
Flygande jacob????
must admit, although I've tried it, its not a favourite yet I'm afraid😳
😍😍😍😍korvstroganoff is the best
Have you tried skomakarlåda? It's an old classic. Another classic would be sjömansbiff.
I don't think I've tried either of those - I'll add them to my list!!
Tried Gustafskorv?
Thanks for the tip, I'm going to have _falukorv i ugn_ for dinner tonight! 👍🏼
And now I'm full! It was delicious 😋!
Not sure if you had it in the last video but Raggmunk och Fläsk med Lingonsylt eller löksås should be in there.
I actually didn't! I'm less convinced by raggmunk you see... sorry! but there's time for me to be convinced😅
@@JustaBritAbroad so you have tried it but i wasn't to your liking?
Thats great choices.
I love raggmunk and fläsk med löksås. Så jäkla gott!
If you find yourself in Stockholm (don't know where you live) you should try a restaurant called Meatballs for the people. They have meatballs made out of a variety of meats, the classic one, made out of beef, pork. Then they have veal, deer, ox, boar, chicken, vegetarian and elk. And it's really tasty. :) Hope you find it and enjoy it.
Edit: removed wrong info.
Thanks for the recommendation Per! Funnily enough, I’ve actually been and you’re right, it’s fantastic🤩 so worth the trip!!
Falukorv och Potatis 👍🏻

Kassler stroganoff.
It ie yes
falukorv is also cheap compared to other "meat"
There is different quality
Pannbiff med lök. Oxjärpar med gräddsås och potatis.
Soo tasty
mmm nu är jag hungrig!
Many countries have their own version of the "Falukorv". In Finland "Lauantaimakkara", in Russia "Doctor Sausage", and even in US, "Baloney ". You dont have anything similar in Britain?
Falukorv is good for everything. After an evening with beers and socialisation you begin to feel a little bit hungry, rounding the evening off with some Swedish rye crisp bred with slices of Falukorv on it is a perfect way to end a "beer crawl".
Also tried and approved by some Belgians at a Swedish-Belgian wedding. After some intense festivities and dancing people began to get hungry a few hours after midnight and Falukorv, Spisbröd (round Swedish crisp bread of rye) and some butter did the trick. 🙂
Some dishes that will definitely grow on you a lot everytime you have it are:
*Kroppkakor* (potato dumplings filled with minced meat and onions), served with rårörda lingon (uncooked lingonberries mixed with sugar)
*Kålpudding* (a mixture of chopped cabbage, minced meat, onions and syrup, which is baked in the oven)
*Bruna bönor med fläsk* (literally "brown beans with pork")
And of course, since there are many mentions in your videos of mashed potatoes, I feel obligated to mention *rotmos.* Rotmos is the same idea as mashed potatoes, just add carrots, parsnip and rutabaga into the mix.. ehm, *mash.*
Falukorv contains both beef and pork. You forgot to mention that. And the types of spices obviously makes the entire thing special, like ginger and nutmeg.
YES x 5! Especially Falu Sausage in the owen, mmmmm! (NOT with apple though, just slices of onion and tomato and topped with LOTS of hot mustard and graded cheese! LOL!). And Korv Stroganoff (Falu sausage Stroganoff) seasoned with, heinz ketchup, black pepper and Basil, served with Jasmin rice...mmmmm! Can't be simpler to make, nor more delicious to eat... 👍😉❤
Well, you rose to be a hangaround to become a swedish viking.
To be a Prospect you need to do "Swedish meatballs", in your kitchen frome scratch!
Or any other minced meat meal or those "Falukorvmeals" that you described .
And then, there are more to it.. old customes, on Tuesday its fried pork, whit brown beans and boild potatoes, at Thursday its yellow pie soup, whit pork or/and "fläskkorv", and panncakes as a desert, whit wipped cream and jam!
Actually you can do more about swedish food, get a goe at it, it could be a funny video, you trying to make swedish food, serving it to your girlfiend and other friends!
But take my advice, ask your mother in law and other friends that know about making swedish "husmanskost"!
And dont even think about buing the wrong sort of lingonberrys, some is for the pancakes (there are better beryjams for those), it should be "rårörda lingon" to meals.
Fun fact: The world-famous Västerbotten cheese is made in the small village of Burträsk and only there. In the beginning it was called Burträskost. It can not be manufactured anywhere else, and no one knows for sure why? They tried to start making it in Umeå, but the cheese did not taste the same there.
Love all the items on the list! Made me a little homesick watching especially made me long for falukorv, not easy to get around here.
Will you be making a vlog about svensk julmat? And jultraditioner?
From a swede in Scotland.
ah no of course! I relate hard to this, because I feel the same about my beloved clotted cream that I can't get anymore since moving to Sweden😱 but that's a good idea about a christmas video, hadn't really considered it, but now you mention!!
I don't know if they deliver all the way up to Scotland, but Scandikitchen in London claim to deliver to the entire island, maybe give it a try?
@@davideek8248 they do deliver all over the UK. I do order from them but only a couple of times a year. Waiting on delivery just now for Christmas food.
Korv stroganoff is one of my absolute favourites. The actual product is regulated in law here in Sweden for meat content.
Served with rice, pasta or mash and the way my daughter makes it is incredible.
This is so weird! I couldn't find you and then when I did, I saw that I wasn't a sub! How? Well, now I am. Again. lol! Weird huh! Yes, Västerbottens ostpaj is very tasty. I love pies, almost any pie. Wallenbergare - classic! I love the IKEA-meatballs very much, however my hubby makes even better ones in my humble opinion lol! Falukorv och pasta - so easy to make. Even I can pull it off. Is that the right expression? A bit foggy today. Gratinerad falukorv, yes, lovely! Korv Stroganoff and beef Stroganoff. I love it! My mother-in-law used to make the most wonderful Dillkött. I don't know the English word for it. But that's really tasty. And my mom use to make a great meat stew, but I cannot remember the recipe. If I do - I'll send it to you. I'm looking forward to this Christmas when you're trying lutfrisk ;)) :DDDD As I told you before, my parents are from the North of Sweden so I love lutfisk with white sauce and cooked potatoes. Otherwise, I'm not that fond of the Swedish Christmas table at all. I think I've gotten tired of the food. No idea why. But I'd rather prefer a nice BBQ instead. Not very Swedish, I know. I was wondering, is there any food/dishes that are similar to the British food culture? I should know, but hey - I can't recall! Perhaps similar stews? Or something like that? Just curious. A video about that perhaps? I'm really looking forward to the day I can travel safe to the U.K. again. I so miss going to London, watching a play on the theatre, having a nice meal etc. The ambience of London. Have a nice weekend! :)
Kalops, simple, yet so good. Served with potatoes or rice and pickled beets.
Rice contains arsenik
@@erikandersson6145 Many food items do. Including seafood, mushrooms and poultry.
Only one thing missing from your Wallenbergare.
Clarified butter.
You pour some clarified butter over the dish before you serve it. One of the best dishes we have, no doubt!👍
Bra lista på rätter!
Det var länge sedan jag hade falukorv!
Söta bär, potatismos, sås och köttbullar är en trevlig upplevelse!
Ha en fin vecka!
tack Sina! dags for falukorv snart då!!😆
We have test on the internet. Testing foods like falukorv, meatballs etc
