The oldest pickled herring is spiced herring. We have been eating it since at least the middle of the 18th century. The herring has a long and important history in our country. In periods it was abundant and then it was important to catch as much as possible and save for the future. This was done by salting, drying or smoking the fish. - The basis of Swedish food culture is grains and fish. We eat beef and pork too. The reason why we eat herring as an introduction to the Christmas table is connected to what is called the snaps table. It was a standing appetizer that was common already in the middle of the 17th century. It included butter, bread and cheese, some salty fish such as herring or salmon and then some salted meat. To this they drank three kinds of snaps/vodka. This costume has survived on the smorgasbord and has become the introduction there. We repeat it at Easter, Midsummer and Christmas. So it is something we have done for well over 400 years.
An archaeological excavation in southern Sweden (Blekinge) a few years ago actually uncovered evidence of fermenting fish for preservation already during the mesolithic period 9.000 years ago.
Im sure you like me as a kid learned that it was only butter spreed on the dough the sprinkeling of cinnamon and suger? Or perhaps mix the 3 together then spred it on. However igen your mind for some change, bakerys have uses almond paste like this for a long time, it helps to bind the butter in the filling i side the bun so it doesnt melt and escapes from the bun and you can have more filling. It makes for a better bun im telling you, I started using it like 7 years ago every time i make buns and I ha e never regretted it and people loves my buns.
That explains the origin of the sill matjessill, often canned spiced herring but not salted. Always thought it was a weird name but it explains it then.
I'm seeing this for the first time. At th-cam.com/video/i-ELB3KpqZQ/w-d-xo.html you play a tune called "Säkkijärvin polkka" which is a traditional finnish melody, and not swedish by any means.
Im swedish and I never heard anybody use the word smorgosboard (smörgåsbord). Its like a thing americans says about swedes but i I think if you ask a swede what that is they cant answer it
@@Templarofsteel88 Of course it is very common - I have lived 70 years in Sweden and have never ever heard of a Swede not being familiar with that word.
Of course there are black people in Sweden, Sweden like most countries has immigrant communities and many have been there long enough for their kids and even grandkids to have been born and raised in Sweden. Though I don't know why any of this is relevant to a 10 minute long food travel video about pickled fish lol
As a Pole I agree.... pickled herring is life!
As a Swede i agree. Sheers Dear neighbour.🍺🍺👍🏻
Agreed from Canada

Kind of interesting that you chose to play the Finnish Säkkijärven polkka the baking part though.
Free music and close enough for the yanks .
Quite a lot of the older generation especially in Northern England eat pickled herrings, we call it either Roll mop Herring or Soused Herring
pickled herring with new potatoes and sour cream, preferably mustard herring ❤
OMG I love you Andrew!
bring bizarre foods again!!
I would love to go to Sweden 🇸🇪 such a beautiful place!
Everything looks delicious!
Why are most Swedish people just insanely attractive? Like what the hell.
Best part of this video is that finnish song Säkkijärven polkka in the backround.
No, it isn't!
Loved the finnish polkka on the background while chef was rolling the cinnamon rolls.
I definetly recommend to try also ABBA pickled herring. Not the band, but it’s a company.
I wouldn't. Their herring is awful. Go for Klädesholmen instead. Much higher quality. Abba's mustard hering should be considered a war crime.
@@Komona No, that is not true at all. Abba's pickled herring is quite good.
@@Vinterfrid No, it's absolutely dreadfl. Try out Klädesholmen or any other brand and you will taste how disgusting abba's herring is.
This is some how like the "ceviche" that I made, instead of vinager, lemon
The same in Norway and Denmark.
...and Finland.
Yeah, we use the same ingredients
I luv rollmops but a polack girl showed me the art of pickled fish I caught them she sorted it! Pike carp and dare I say it seatrout! Lovely!😮
Holy smoly, great episode! Love it!

We also drink tea twice a day but I drink five times a day and now I'm diabetic so I use sugar free sweetener, lol.
It;'s not just Sweden. In Germany we have Maatjes which are just raw herring. Which we eat with onions.

The same in Norway and Denmark. 🌍🌏
A good description of some of the very much loved Swedish seafood, but I must add that the pronunciation of the Swedish names is really bad! 😆

Dried fish is better.
Dried salt cod, yum yum!
No. it definitely isn't!
❤😁🥰🥰🥰😁♥️💖💖💖
fishy - fishy :)

It might not be that common but it is sometimes used when referring to a Buffet.
I am Swedish and it is very common that we call it "smörgåsbord" - the Swedes who claim they've never heard it must be living in a bubble.
@@Templarofsteel88 Of course it is very common - I have lived 70 years in Sweden and have never ever heard of a Swede not being familiar with that word.
@@Vinterfrid Might be a generation thing or depend on what part you live in Sweden, where im from it is used.
So you mean to say that you only use the original term "Brännvinsbord"? ;)
toast Skagen is one of the best dishes ever created, it is a stunning dish and everybody sohuld try it.
No black poeple in sweden?😮
Does it surprise you that mainly white countries exist just as mainly black ones?
No Inuits in Botswana?😮
Of course there are black people in Sweden, Sweden like most countries has immigrant communities and many have been there long enough for their kids and even grandkids to have been born and raised in Sweden.
