Evening all! I trust you’re all doing well…
I couldn’t make the trip to Sweden without seeking out a meatball challenge, so that’s what’s on the cards tonight.
I’m presently trekking through the lush green forest of North Carolina, so if I’m less active than usual in the comments, I apologise.
Thanks as always for watching and I hope I’ll see you next week.
Cuddles, BMF ❤️
Evening mate ❤
You’re the 🐐 Adam
Morning mate,you are a legend man!!😊😊 I really love all of your video
Evening Beard! ❤
😂😂😂😂😂
HECK YEAH! Meatball challenges are always well-rounded.
😂
I see what you did there
Nice 👍wish I knew how to write that sound that the British guy makes in that meme. The one where he's talking about preserves. That would fit well here.
Stop it, lol
Ahh I see what you did there….🤣
But don’t ball them up in one challenge though🤣
Beard is the only eating challenger I actually enjoy watching. He tastes his food, (perhaps not always at the home stretch) and you can tell it's more than a job to him.
ah thanks mate, means a lot :)
@@Beardmeatsfood Ctrl+v to you too, mate ;)

@@billbadass3773 my tea's gone cold I'm wondering why I got out of bed at all
Meatballs, mashed potatoes, gravy, and lingonberry jam is my favorite dish of all time. Has been for the last 30+ years. I'm not at all a big eater, but I feel like even I might be able to do this one.
I'm glad you liked the food!
Its fake fabric meatballs not real Swedish meatballs..
yeah out of all I saw him do this is one I possibly could finish.
@@duniz6431 What is a "fabric" meatball?
@@hentaisailor5951 Beard has been eating silky meatballs, Pass it on.
@@chrispetrie9250 What does that mean? I didn't know anything about different types of meatballs. I'm confused.
I was so stressed this whole time, thinking “Put on the Lingonberry! Put on the Lingonberry! PUT ON THE LINGONBERRY!!!”
Having swedish meatballs without it is absolute madness!!
Haha I were thinking the same! Was even thinking like "Atleast take the meatballs falling in to it so you get the taste and use it" :D
Always a few uncultured try-hards in the comments. Thank you for your contribution
Your comment make no sens if it was aimed for us lol xD It's culture here to eat it all togheter, always has been. @@Bnick2009
And just to add, he picked something he wanted to try that were Swedish.@@Bnick2009
I will not eat lingonberry EVER im Swedish and I absolutely hate it. But that meal isnt really a hard one honestly.
That restaurant menu looked amazing 😮
oh cool, you watch adam :o
It is!

First time Beard has ever finished an entire meal using silverware? 😂

Not true, there was a run away meatball he caught by hand
no beardwipe up i’m dissatisfied
@@bluntsessions3577 9:31 he does
@@bluntsessions3577at least two. Did you nod off?
If you ever come to Japan for some eating challenges, I’ll be happy to interpret/translate for you!! They have some super crazy challenges out here, you’d love it!!
Would love to see this!
Bro you gotta go to japan , thats good for the viewers to see japan and their suprising good food and challenges .
Vote this up guys!
Wow that’s a good idea I would watch beard in Japan eating crazy stuff. He could eat so much sushi
”going beard in Japan 🎵”
As a swede I'd have to say the combination of lingonberry jam and brown sauce is what makes these dishes. We pretty much always have this combination in our traditional swedish cuisine involving meat and potatoes.
Yeah you are right, brown sauce and lingonberry jam makes this dish
We do sweets and sours together with savoury in Denmark as well.
Anyway, having the potatoes mashed is almost cheating.
Swedish meatballs are almost like eating gyoza. You just keep going until you realise you've had too many.
As a Swed i don't agree, to hell with the ligonberry! :D But it's tradition and should be served.
@@P_X_H_ 😄 Danish tradition often dictate red currant gel for old fashion beef roast or game... my preference is "whatever jam I have in stock" 🙄
For meatballs it's not super important... but i still like a little bit of sweet to give the dishes some variety.
@@BenjaminVestergaard We got that jelly thing too here in Sweden. Black currant jelly if i remember it right. My old mother use to eat that and claimed it was a Swedish thing. Never like that either. I don't like to mix sweet with salt, if its not candy 😄
Swede here! I can confirm it's a very traditional thing here to combine savory meats and sides with sweet jams or even jelly. Based on the weather I'm guessing you've been done with Sweden for like 6 months now, but if you ever want to re-live that classic Swedish flavor combo, meatballs with black currant jelly and boiled potatoes (and optional gravy) is another certified classic.
❤❤
Gravy is not optional.
In fairness it’s a bit like apple sauce with pork gravy, cranberry with turkey gravy, berry with chicken. Love the tartness of the fruit that cuts through the savory. Absolutely delicious. Looked bloody lovely. ❤
Hard to get lingonberry here in UK, find cranberry sauce works quite well tho😊
@@lisapinfold506 Pretty sure IKEA sells it in most places!
"You want another one?" The guy is an absolute legend 😂 gotta try this next time im in Varberg
Didn't even order dessert!?
@@pyro3rghe usually skips dessert if he’s doing multiple challenges in 24 hours
It was the poorest challenge Beardmeatsfood has attempted ever. Size of portion - for little girls :)
Come on, that was like a snack to you...😂
Hey BMF! Little suggestion - would love to see a difficulty rating shortly after the challenge is over to hear your thoughts on how easily you beat it or how close you came to failing, would be really cool to hear your insight on these challenges.
Been watching your videos for two years now. Always enjoyed them. But now they’re almost a form of religion for me 😂 I had my gallbladder out earlier this year and after complications I was hospitalised again for a week heavily jaundiced and pained on the way to having sepsis. I’ve been in a beard rabbit hole from my hospital bed vicariously eating through you whilst being nil by mouth awaiting further surgery. They’ve kept me smiling. I can’t wait to enjoy food again. As soon as I’m well I’m off to Kongs in Manchester as those wings look awesome. Thanks Adam for all the content you put out and being a great bloke to everyone you meet ❤
No french fried potatoes, no mushrooms, that's your kind of challenge. Great job, Beard.
😂❤
I'm working getting a challenge for you in my new restaurant it's a sh*tload of fries topped with a kilo each of three types of mushrooms and no sauces or gravy and no drinks allowed until you finish.
@@Shattered65call it a breakfast challenge as well. He loves fries for breakfast
@@Shattered65 there's no way he would choose to do that aha. I don't think anyone would - that's torture
My lactose intolerant stomach seized up just at the words “two and a half liter milkshake” 😂. This was a challenge where I’d actually enjoy eating the food, as a picky eater, that says a lot! Congrats on another meaty win! The medal is a really nice touch!! 🥇
Most of the restaurant food is lactose-free at least in Finland, haven't even thought about it in years!
It's so satisfying just seeing Adam get along with everyone around him. Plus like seeing him beat the record time too. Keep up the amazing video's 🔥😎👍
I like the fact that their vegetarian burger is called the "Bad Hunter" (you can see it at 1:43).
And says "Warning - vegetarian"
Got em!
I don’t know why I even started watching these videos, let alone why I get so excited for a new one. It just gives me so much joy. The production, Adam’s congeniality, the customers and staff… it just makes me so happy.
ah thanks mate, means a lot :)
@@Beardmeatsfood Ctrl+v to you too, mate ;)
we started watching these videos because it's neat to watch eating challenges. We get excited for new ones because it's Adam.
Thats exactly what i feel too🤣💯
Playing the intro on the radio was such a great touch very well edited videos as always 👌👌👌
I love your podcasts. You are so respectful to the owners and customers. You make it fun for everyone. I can see why you are so popular.
Seeing you conquer these eating challenges time and time again never ceases to amaze me.
this one looked easy
i don't mean for beard, he makes them all look easy
cheers mate :)
@@ijustwannaleaveacommentony6511 mashed potatos is not to easy, it fills you up more than you think and add in meatballs on that who is just meat and onion all through just worsen it even more. plus then the gravy and lingonberry jam on top of that.
As a Swede, this was the first time I've ever heard of:
A) An eating challenge in Sweden.
B) Håstensgrillen.
Welp, it certainly put Varberg on my map, if I ever travel to that part of the country.
OH JUMPIN JUMUNUNY
fan kollar du inte på Matkoma? dom grabbarna va där
@@kignkidonz8892 Japp, tror de varit där säkert tre gånger.
fun place!
Food is pretty crap there, compared to Rost bar where you did your hamburgerchallenge. Håstensgrillen is known for massive portions and nothing more!
This challenge is making my mouth water- might be the one challenge I’ve seen Beard do that I may be able to complete.
You can totally do it, I believe in you
The Sweden Challenges are awesome !!!
Great Videos, Great Challenges!!!
I love that there is no urge to create an unbeatable record. Keeps the challenge going.
Yep - smart. He didn't break a sweat, and if someone beats his mark, he can come back and reclaim the crown (another video!) I'll bet if his life depended on it he could do this challenge in seven minutes thirty.
@@ohger1prob could do it in 5
It’s also nice not having an entire table of toasted bread as an artificial difficulty measure
You made short work of the first Swedish challenge, Adam! I'm surprised that you didn't take the 2.5 litre milkshake as the dessert! :D
Second
me too
I was expecting it
Agreed! What happened to dessert…?!!
Same!! I thought for sure he would have!!
You took that like a pro man!!! Love watching you and listening to you!!!
OMG!!! "aint nuthin but a peanut!" I have literally said that in the gym! What a surprising reference. So cool.
I love how you talk to the staff and the other gents in your videos!
It's satisfying to see you not rush into devouvring the food for a record and actually communicate. Keep it up!
As an American viewer, I have been watching Adam's food challenges for a while and I want to say BeardMeatsFood is one of my favorite TH-camrs on the platform. Sure while I like my American food eater's Adam is number one favorite for me his videos always feel natural, fun, and easy , it's just a British man going around the world and is home of the UK enjoying the food and giving a lot of love and respect to the place he eats at, cracking jokes that never feel overly inappropriate and has wonderful manors all in all Adam you're a traffic creator keep these awesome videos coming.
ah thanks mate, means a lot :)
@@Beardmeatsfood Ctrl+v to you too, mate ;)
@@JohnA.Zoidbergwhat a melt you are
@@Beardmeatsfood You’re welcome Adam.
@@stellanrude3813 I completely agree.
0:18 idk why this makes me laugh so much XD
beard: what a nice fella :D

SWEDE here! I used to work in Gothenburg/Varberg as a public saftey officer for 6 years, and thanks for reminding me what the namn of the resturant was, I had forgot! I need to try that challange 😁
Gotta love when restaurants come up with a challenge that isn’t a burger or a pizza
They have a lot of good food 👍🏻
Can just imagine the Swedes watching this going mad while you eat meatballs without the lingonberry sauce.
I'm not angry, I'm just disappointed.
Sacrilegious
It's lingonberry jam, not sauce. 😊
Rårörda lingon och pressgurka skall det vara
It was driving me crazy. He's got to eat it all together!!
Another great episode! Those meatballs and mash looked yummy! Bit sad u didn't ask for the dessert menu though 😂
100% wanna see this come back on the challenge board, everything looks delightful!
Now I want to see him go to IKEA and order the same amount of food from the food court and eat it there.
I like how he doesn’t rush! You watch any other eating channels and all they do is mention Adam’s name and whether they can beat his time. He’s not bothered lol
Yeah, the reason is since anyone that chases records would have to be disgusting while doing it. TH-cam competitive eaters usually aim to look as aesthetic as possible while eating. If they don't do that most people would not watch them. We can watch him, Randy Santel, and Erik the Electric with no issues. Then there are people like molly schuyler, that make me want to hurl as soon as they start eating.
I'll never forget the doughnut challenge from a few weeks ago. You don't realise just how casual and tidy his normal food challenge mode is until he gets given a real speed challenge and flips into the competitive machine he can be when he wants.
You got me there mate ❤
@@Beardmeatsfood 😉
I like that too but sometimes I'm screaming "EAT IT EAT IT!!!" so he doesn't waste time and not break a record.
Hope u had a great time in Sweden, really fun to see that u done some challanges here. keep up the great work.
I watch your stuff exclusively while I’m on the toilet…. It helps!
Damn, that challange portion for Adam it's like a dessert 🤣
Yeah, I kept feeling I could do this one... def less than 7h :)
@@marginatuxbasically a small appetiser.
But yet someone managed to spend 7 hrs attempting it
Oh Mr. Beard... I am SO HAPPY to see you beat the record once again. Your videos continue to be a joy to watch!! I love how you Simply bring happiness to EACH & EVERY attempt that you make while your silliness and joy proves to us that EVERY attempt can win if we are as determined to win as you are! Thanks. You are so happy to watch and so incredibly unbelievable to watch. Cheers my friend !!!! 😎👍
Glad you enjoy it!
Another great video beard, i really like the different places your getting to throw in. Meatballs and mash i love it sounds and looked good. Thanks for all the feel good entertainment you provide. Catch you on the flipside
Made light work of that one, I appreciated the Ronnie Coleman quote at the end too. What a legend
When im hungry i always feel like i could do some of these challenges, then halfway through 1 plate i realize its a no go.
That's how they getcha
Lol same, I always feel I can eat way more, then you actually start eating and realize how far off you were.
Adam is a professional. (Don’t try this at home, kids)
LOL... Me too. Adam did the entire Taco Bell Menu once and it got me hungry for some Taco Bell. I stopped the next day and ordered Taco Supreme, Chicken Quesadilla, Nachos Grande and the Mexican Pizza. I made it through the Taco, Nachos and half of the Pizza. The rest was a late night snack, but then I am 69 years old and only 5' 6" 😂
I was like that at a buffet the other day. I was sure I could eat like 4 or 5 plates! Nope!😂😂😂😂
I definitely want to see you come back and do that 2 person challenge lol
This has inspired me to book a trip to Sweden later this year. Been on the bucket list for a while. Easy peasy challenge for you. On to the next one.
YAAAAS! Rocker's Pub!
They have so many challenges! Please come back!
The 7 hours felt so relatable. Of course, Beard smashed the record!
Wouldn't be a trip to Sweden without trying Swedish meatballs 😂😂
amen
@@Beardmeatsfood We need you to do a Surstromming challenge? Up for it?
SUUURSTRÖMMIIIING!!
Looks delicious pal !! Love yer content always Beard 👌
This is one of my favorite challenges that you've done (that I've seen so far). And I love the restaurant's tribute to Elvis!! Great video!
your show is stress-free therapy without cost. Great stuff dude!!
Meatballs, mash, lingonberrry jam a cream sauce and pickled cucumbers is the real swedish way. :) It looked really nice and during summer there is often a long queue outside that place. Great you seem to be enjoying your trip top Sweden.
Yes, the cream sauce !! A cross with beef gravy and cream. I didn't like it. Go to a bit IKEA. They serve that shit in sauce. Most people where I lived in Lovissa were Swedish. Finland's food is even worse !! After just meat and cheese a a few local dishes staying at Degarby, I went to Lidl. The salami was so cheap even with reindeer. Nice one Adam !! Snowstorm missed us and on it's way to you.
What do lingonberries taste like? Never had them before
@@BattousaiX333They are in the same family as cranberries. Similar.
@@BattousaiX333They taste like less fruity cranberries and a bit more bitter
Sounds great!
Greatest inspiration for going on a diet I've ever seen
great vid! PLEASE do the 2 person challenge at that restaurant one day!!
For the first time in the history of watching your videos this looks like one I might actually be able to finish! I'm guessing that's only because you made it look SO easy and I'd end up being another guy needing 7 hours to complete it.
😂.
I got 3 minutes in and now I've got potatoes boiling and meatballs in the oven haha freaking amazing combination!!!!!
Sounds smashing.
Jealous
heavy food bro
That was some pretty funky music to start off the video, and if it's not the funkiest, it is for sure in the top 3. I don't think I've ever had Lingonberry, or quiet honestly even heard to this one and the Egg Cake video. Looks amazing though, even though it does look simplistic as well. All of the challenges looked just incredible and delicious, but it does make sense to do a Swedish Meatballs ones, don't even recall seeing many meatball challenges. Not necessarily a Sweet berry dip, but sure you've had or heard of Sweet & Sour Meatballs (sorry for assuming, just to me it seems to be a common thing where I'm too - Canada). Not only did you crush it, but you also set the new record, congrats on both. That medal does look really good though. You never cease to impress with the challenges, it just an awesome time seeing you crush these challenges Adam, keep up the amazing work. Cheers.
I love Swedish meatballs. Would love to see Adam go to ikea to see how many of theirs he could eat 😉👍🏻
I'm going to have to go there and see if they'll put this challenge together. They've got plenty of Lingonberry sauce!
@@cgraham6 just go and buy a couple of bags of meatballs, some jars or lingonberry and make your own mash and 'ave at it
@@andy36586That sounds like a great plan!
Receiving the notification for this video while eating meatballs? Priceless xD
As always, love your content. Much love from Chile ❤
ey thanks mate
I look forward to you hitting up their other challenges. It's a shame they didn't give you the milkshake as a parting gift to enjoy on your drive! Also, at least here in America, one of our fave party dishes for tailgating or New Years, etc, is Barbecued Meatballs. Basically just fresh made or even frozen meatballs in a crockpot with BBQ sauce and grape jelly. So I can see how the lingonberry would just give them the extra touch of taste.
Great job as always!
id love to see you beat the challenge for 2 just to see their reaction
Hi from Sweden! The combination of gravy and lingonberry is the thing. Lovely!
Love your videos man!
I could beat this one! That looks absolutely amazing! Love the vids!
Way to go Beard!!! I liked seeing you enjoy a different meal and getting some cool prizes! They definitely put a lot of thought into their challenges!
I appreciate it!
I too love more creamy mash potatoes with meatballs and cranberry sauce in combo with garlic or tartar sauce..
or instead of the mash i'll cook gnocchi, but with those i do a cranberry + simple blue cheese sauce combo..
the sweetness of cranberry sauce balances the others so nicely..
love it
Greetings from Sweden mate! Those lingonberries are mandatory with this dish - absolutely no way to have it without.
That lingonberry is classic on that dish in any nordic country. You order mash potatoes with meatballs or reindeer meat you get lingonberry jam.
This is the first time ever that I’ve seen the food and thought to myself ‘I could eat that’. I sure it will never happen again.
Craving Swedish meatballs now. Damn! I actually really like the frozen balls I buy at the IKEA store, the gravy mix and the Lingonberries here in the Midwest/US.
@jenjoy3215 Same UK. Standard IKEA fare but I will say the quality has reduced in the past 20yrs as they try to keep the prices down
@@mattydare, I haven’t been for years. Do they still have the £1 hotdog?
@@johnnunn8688 think so - at the bistro on the way out. I say that with the understanding that the stores are formatted the same throughout the world.
Home made is always best it is actually really easy to make
Love Håstensgrillen! Been there a couple of times eating their "normal" portions. Finished one two years ago if memory serves.
The little ronnie coleman reference in the end😆
Ah you got the sweet lingonberry, we have three camps here in Sweden those that want the sweet one, the ones that want the sour version (lightly boiled with about a quarter of the sugar content and still have semi-whole berries in it) and those that can't stand it :D hope you enjoyed our weird little corner of the world.
The sour version sounds amazing. 😋
I’m in California so have only had the ikea version lol
@@sarahjane4908 I think IKEA has frozen berries so you can make it yourself. Mix 1 part sugar and 5 parts frozen berries. For a more acidic version, hold back a bit on the sugar. Let them thaw together and stir occasionally. The sugar will dissolve and mix with the berries. No cooking required.
In Finland the sour version is more popular, and those who don't like it know better to keep their mouths shut ;)
We love your posts! Our regular Sunday night viewing!
your loyalty wins me over every time bud
Meatballs with lingonberry or cranberriers in lack of first are absolutely delicious. I can't or won't eat them without lingonberries anymore. I usually go pick them myself in autumn and make some jam form them. Lasts very long time in a fridge and goes well with many things.
Don't let the restaurant fool you, there should be tons of gravy with swedish meatballs and mash! Lingonberries are essential but a little goes a long way.
1.2 Million views in less than 24hrs!? So happy for your success 🎉 Let's Get It!
i'm a fortunate man
@Beardmeatsfood when are you coming to Minneapolis, Minnesota!? The twin cities are some of the best melting pots of cuisine and culture in the USA.
Thanks again for all the great videos! 👍
As a proud swed myself I'm very happy how you are your meatballs with Lingonberry
That looked delicious. Enjoyed watching.
Make it an every year trip and finish all the challenges!! Always puttin out bangers!
Good job! As a Swede I'm obviously used to the sweetness lingonberry sauce bring to a meatball dish, but sometimes you can have the less sweet "rårörda lingon", where the berries haven't been cooked. It's a matter of taste, of course, but regular lingonberry sauce can definitely taste very sweet - especially when commercially made. I haven't really thought about it until now, but the most commonly used swedish name for it is "lingonsylt", where "sylt" translates to jam.
I'm german so I absolutely understand - Preiselbeeren are perfect with canned pears and a hearty meat dish with, especially game around christmas. I also love having noodles with Preiselbeeren and (beef) Gulasch.
We finns like it same way. Meatballs and especially game (reindeer, moose) with sweet & sour lingonberries . Maybe more sour than sweet though. And ofc potatoes and gravy. omnom.
@0:43 dang you make me feel like less of an alien with every video lol thanks!
This and with pickled cucumber slices for extra saltiness is perfect!
Just spat my beer out laughing 😂
She's not into meatballs of any description 🤣😂🤣
CLASSIC Beard comment 👌
Keep up the great work.
As some one who is fairly new to your videos, it’s really surprising just how many food challenges there are out there!
Great stuff keep up the fun vids
I love how with each spoon not only his mouth opens but also his eyebrows rise up high XD Love u Beard!
What a superb time to upload just as the snooker final is on 👌🤣. Keep up the great work mate and love from Burnley 👍
Dude! You need to complete every challenge and then suggest to them they should create new board for people who've done just that!
This is such a great channel to be spawned out of UK. Keep being you dude! So genuine and kind at heart.
They even give you a medal at the end for completion. What a great nation as well!
Mash and meatballs with gravy and lingonberry is just great. So much better than you'd think. I wouldn't mix the berries into the mash though. It's more like a palette cleanser when you've eaten a bunch of the other stuff. Take a spoon of the jam, get back into the mash and balls.
I'm gonna make some mash right now actually. Got hungry watching this.
It looks incredible! Would be absolutely delicious to try
The fact Adam used utensils deserves a Like 👍🏻
first time for everything lol
I spent half of the video screaming - 'what about the lingonberry!!??'
It's kind of logical that you found the dish too sweet the last few minutes..
Love ya Beard!
I was doing the same thing.....lol. I love the lingonberries mixed in with the meatballs and mashed potatoes.
Yes, definitely go back and do another challenge there, please!
The typical Swedish contagious happiness lol
