🇸🇪 here 👋. The strange food that was packaged in tubes and was mistakenly translated as "Creamy Sauce" is actually hard cheese that has been melted together with sodium citrate (a salt made by mixing citric acid with bicarbonate). The addition of the sodium citrate causes the cheese to retain the same consistency as melted cheese, even when cooled. The processed cheese is then seasoned and mixed with various other things such as chopped prawns, chopped bacon or chopped mushrooms. By packing it in thin aluminium tubes and you just squeezing out as much as you want to use at a time the cheese stays fresh for a long time. This is because the thin metal tube (unlike a soft plastic tube) remains in the form it is pressed into so that very little oxygen comes into contact with the contents of the tube (brilliant huh?) This kind of cheese is available in dozens of different flavors (sometimes it seems that the manufacturers try to outdo each other with strange combinations). Some flavors continue to remain popular (like shrimp, bacon, seafood) while most of them pretty quickly disappear again. This type of cheese is as stereotypically Swedish as ever pickled herring or Swedish meatballs and is usually eaten spread on slices of bread or crackers 😁😋. The section with flavored water in bottles actually angers me somewhat 😠. Partly because it is so very easy to put a couple of lemon slices or strawberries in the water yourself if you want flavored water and partly because the tap water in Sweden is completely safe to drink everywhere and in many places actually tastes better than hyped bottled water . Not to mention how environmentally stupid it is to transport millions of liters of bottled water long distances even though it is completely unnecessary. In my eyes, it is entirely a fabricated need that the environment would be much better off without.
