the red stuff on the meatball sandwich is beetroot sallad ( direct translated) you you were right.
The 3rd most popular pizza in Sweden is the pizza tropicana which has bananas and curry!! Classic Swedish pizza that you should try if you ever visit again ;)
Exactly. Meatballs and the beetroot salad are stuff from the Christmas table but those are factory made versions so obviously it's not like homemade or a proper restaurant. On Christmas eve you'll have your grandma's recipe that varies between regions and families. Some put haring in the salad, in my family it would be like beets, apples, mayonnaise and sour creme I think. Don't remember exactly. But what you had is more like fast food version. The origin of the Christmas sandwich is probably eating leftovers from Christmas. On Christmas eve you'll have a smörgåsbord with different dishes, with a big ham as the main (like your turkey). The following days you'll be eating ham sandwiches etc.
It's a french hot dog because it's in a baguette.
Oh, and that "pringles crest" is tre kronor, the national emblem of Sweden.
Yeah the French hot dog without the French dressing is just a hot dog in a baguette. :)
Thumbs up for Kyde & Eric! These two long-time TH-camrs deserve more love!
There use to be phones in the phone booths, that particular one was probably saved because it is like 100 years old. But since the introduction of cellphones the pay phones has disappeared. On December 3rd 2015 the last payphone in Sweden was dismantled.
Actually, the white stones on the red building at Stortorget represent the 92 people executed in the Stockholm bloodbath. Christian The Tyrant (king at the time) invited people from all the Swedish noble families to this big coronation party and after a couple of days of festivities, Christian ordered all exits to Stockholm closed and all the noble families were incarcerated, tried and executed right there on Stortorget. Over 70 people were beheaded, the rest hanged, and the square was basically red from all the blood.
A very dark part of our history :/
**KrokodileJaw* ~Ja: Christian...the [ *wicked ] Danish* King, yes ({; D ...?!
The "Rikstelefon" booth is an old style phonebooth that became sort of a landmark so when the payphones were dismanteled some phonebooths were kept.
Cloudberries (hjortron) are an arctic fruit that grows in tundra bogs! It needs long sunlight hours in summer to actually become fruit.
The long sunlight hours are also the reason why the strawberries that grow here in scandinavia are much sweeter and have more flavor.
Interesting note about the strawberries! -E
Long summer days and plenty of rain give Scotland the best strawberries 🍓 and raspberries.
Gonna maybe start a war with Sweden on this one but I feel as a Scottish person from the area where they sing songs about our berry fields, who has lived in Sweden the past year I have the full scoop. 😉 haha!
**swedishmetalbear* ~Oh, yes...and, the *lingonberries,* too ({: q ...!
@@kydeanderic There is an iconic movie from 1957 named "Wild Strawberries" by Ingmar Bergman that was very influential (and erotic for its time). If you are into cinema at all, it is a must see.
Haha, the tube where you put the spoon had the label "Norwegian dishwashing machine".
We built the Vasa museum as a reminder to never be that bad at engeneering ever agian, that's why we make top of the line quality products these days. And it was actually the muddy bottom of the sea that incased and preserved the Vasa ship so it could be salvage 400 years later. ;)
Well the fact is that Sweden hired dutch people to design the Vasa though.
Fun fact about Julmust: it is annoying the heck out of Coca Cola-company, as during christmas and easter the sales of Coca Cola in Sweden drop to almost nothing because everyone drinks Julmust instead. They tried to make a Coca Cola Julmust but I dont think it ever caught on.
Pripps originally bottled and sold coca-cola for the company Coca-Cola. But Pripps refused to stop selling Julmust so Coca Cola "fired" them. Coca Cola started bottling real julmust. Real meaning, they used the same julmust essence for taste that everyone else use. You buy it from AB Roberts. I can't remember what the Coca Cola julmust was named, but they made it really swedish sounding and had the Coca Cola brand printed with _tiny_ text.
So what do you drink instead, iron brew?
**Joshua Bicknell* ~Same in *Quebec* [ Province ], Canada; of course, i realise *it* is not a "country" unto itself ({; D ...!
I've been watching you 2 for years! You're both great!!!😘
Thanks! Glad you are still enjoying! -E
Great job guys! You go into depth on things just the right amount and have fun while doing it. Perfect!
Glad you enjoyed! We have tons of videos just like this! -E
I've been to Stockholm three times, spent about 6 Weeks in that city. It is one of the most beautiful and historic places I have ever been to.
Places to go:
- Vasa
- Nordiska Museet
- Djurgarden
- Södermalm
- Gamla Stan obviously
- Archipeligo
- German Church in Gamla Stan
- Eating at Fem Sma Hus
- Alvik sea side
- Royal Gards at the palace
Good list!
Pretty sure the "French" hotdog was called that because it was stuffed in a baguette. Great video, as usual!
This is the one channel that I always watch the ads on. Sometimes I leave your channel on autoplay in the background. Love the vids keep it up!
This is a blessing in theese times
Your best guess was a good one. The pink stuff is pickled red beets in mayo.
So far so good!. Looking forward to your Gothenburg videos. The Vasa museum looks like an awesome place to spend an afternoon. And the royal palace, I mean wow! I hope I can visit Stockholm someday. Stay awesome, guys!
Cloudberriers are a very real berry, they grow way up north and do have a diffrent flavor then other berrier. They are amber in color and kinda looks like a cloud and the swedish name for them are hjortron.
They are good! -E
8:40 Eric wears his Gwar t-shirt and Kyde freaks out about the weird statues on the boat.
The pink stuff in your sandwich was Beetroot, Mayonnaise and Crème fraîche and it's called Rödbetssallad...
Love you guys! Regards from Sweden :)
Just so you know guys.. Hedgehogs mainly hibernate during winter.. :-)
I was willing to wake one up! -E
Awesome video guys... totally living vicariously through you!
Ah the Vasa! So glad you guys were able to visit it. I really enjoyed the museum. I remember standing there forever just looking at the carvings. I was also pleased to see that you tried kabob pizza. If you ever find yourself in Germany, they have, in my opinion, the best kabobs!!
Personal, detailed, and very informative up close travel video. Everything you've done is fun and very well produced. Certainly the best travel vids I've seen. Cheers!
Thank you!!!! We have a zillion of them too! -E
@@kydeanderic My wife is from Croatia and genuinely appreciated your respectful fun while there. The commentary in Vukovara was reverent and dignified. Hvala ljepa
The purple stuff that you ate is kalled Rödbetssallad and that translate into beetroot salad. It is pickled beetroot and mayonnanaise and some other stuff.
Not peanuts...it´s almonds...imported from USA.
:)
You guys makes AWESOME content. SO happy i found this channel!!!
The "pink stuff" is beet root sallad. Very common during christmas and all year around on a meatball sandwich! Lovely stuff.
Regarding the cloud berry - its the best berry on this planet! So lovely!!! Warm cloudberry jam on vanilla ice cream.... mmmmmmmmmmm.
But picking the cloudberries is not easy. They grow up north in the bogs. Its a chore to walk the bogs, find the berries and pick the ripe ones. You have tons of mosquitos attacking you, the wet, sucking bog, the buckets with cloudberries... Its hard work! Ive done it so many times and its worth all the hard work! Best berries in the world (second best is lingonberries which is so much easier to pick!)
RedBeetsalad (with mayo) on a sandwitch with Swedishmeatballs, awsome meal while drunk. And both are on the swedish chistmas table (swedish christmas smorgasbord). So a great meal on a train.
26:50...The best Whiskey I´ve ever bought in my life is Whiskey ,with taste of apple..soo good !
That statue with what you call Gargoyle is meant to be terrifying, it's the monument for The Stockholm Bloodbath where the Danes executed over 80 noblemen on that spot and the blood ran down the streets of what's now known as the Old Town.
I enjoyed your video very much. It has a good balance between food tasting and adventure.
The exact balance we hope for! Yay! -E
49:36 The pink stuff is "rödbetssallad", directly translated: beetroot sallad.
You will find it on every traditional Swedish "julbord"(google pictures ;) ).
French hotdogs are really popular at the 7-11s in Copenhagen, so you're not wrong!
The Vasa museum is amazing and I would recommend anyone visiting Stockholm to go there. You can download audio guides for you phone or tablet in several languages from their home page and they are quite informative. :)
In Sweden you normally eat pizza with a knife and fork, it doesn't, as you discovered, come pre-sliced for eating with your hands as the crust is typically, as you discovered, very thin. :)
Cloudberry jam is also sometimes eaten warm with warm or fried/deep fried Bree cheese, but it also goes really well warm with some good vanilla ice cream.
And Swedish waffles, unlike Swedish pizza, is often cut up (the waffle usually has sort of heart shaped segments) and eaten by hand. ;)
The gargoyle is part of the main well of Gamla Stan so that's where everyone in the area got their fresh water from.
The meatball sandwich (yes cold meatballs) near the end is not just for Christmas, it's too delicious to only be eaten for a few days of the year, ;) and the purple/pink stuff is beetroot sallad made of pickled beetroot, mayo, sour cream, salt, pepper and often some mustard and sometimes with a bit of apple. It goes really well with the cold meatballs. :)
Oh wow, thanks for all the info you left on these three videos. Hope you enjoyed our view of Stockholm! -E
It's always interesting to see an "outsider's" view on ones home town. To me Stockholm is "normal" as you mentioned in one of the videos, so it's really nice to have someone see it with fresh eyes and remind me how awesome this city actually is.
BTW If you ever come back to Sweden do try reindeer steak - it's delicious.
I hope at least some of my "word spam" was informative. ;)
Never knew the origin of "se upp!". Great, great video! Thanks for editing and uploading!
Also, did you know that Julmust outsells Coca Cola every year at christmas?
At 37:50 I thought that was you Eric 😂 I was like "yeah get amongst it Eric!"
The reason for the Wasa to sink is the King wanted more guns, so they added an extra gun deck while the ship was being built.
We learned from the experience, to this day we have an institution FMV who is responsible for making sure military system works as a system, and not only as it's parts.
cant wait for the uk vids, allways wondered if you guys would visit our green and pleasant land :)
Lots on the way! -E
Loving the new tech! Can definitely see the difference in image quality.
The Vasa is awesome! My favourite Vasa anecdote is the one concerning a keg of 400 year old brandy that were recovered during the salvage operation! The salvagers found a 3 gallon keg of perfectly preserved 400 year old brandy. The keg was supposed to go to the museum, and the keg did! The content however "Got lost" along the way!:D
Hahahah, brave dudes to drink 400 year old Brandy from the bottom of the sea. -E
Us swedes do like to get our drinking on!:D
Gargoyles are the best part of European architecture! :D
How absolutely cool to be able to make a job based on your passion...also that gyro pizza looked really good, though the sauce should have been tzatziki not ranch. Tzatziki is a sauce served with grilled meats or as a dip. Tzatziki is made of salted strained yogurt or diluted yogurt mixed with cucumbers, garlic, salt, olive oil, sometimes with vinegar or lemon.
That kebab sauce tend to be a plain youghurt/garlic mix.
^ This :)
its not a greek pizza
Very royal building!!!
...dammit, now I need a baguette dog.
The struggle is real, man.
Gonna need to go to France! -E
That sandwich, it was "rödbetssallad" and yes it is a red beet
mayonnaise usually eaten round christmas or the "smörgåsbord" :-)
Maybe the alley is nicknamed hell alley (I´m not from Stockholm, so I whouldn´t know) but it´s kinda funny that the sign right behind you says "priest street"
the with flims stuff in the laxpuddig is eggs, milk and crem and when you bak it is setts so i keeps things together and it called äggstanning
That box is an old payphone box.
They left the box as a relic from the past.
You can find one like it at Skansen, along with old buildings (1700 to 1800) from around Sweden.
They actually move the houses to Skansen, so they are the original buildings.
when you said that you expected to be like a saloon on the inside it made me think of Doctor Who, in that the Tardis is bigger on the inside, and also has the word "public call box" written on the outside!
I didn't expect to hear the word Halloumi. The name is familiar to me given there's an abundance of mediterranean foods where I live so I can get both the Cypriot version and the Egyptian relative with a similar name. Brined cheeses are many and varied, Feta being a greek style, Halloumi being a Cypriot style similar to a number of Arabic cheeses. Nabulsi is one that I enjoy, it's from Palestine and Jordan, it's got nigella seeds in it, (or at least the kind around here does) so it has a vaguely oniony flavour.
Cheese is one of life's pleasures worth exploring. 😋
Haha, agreed! Been loving cheese in Europe, but after so long in Asia any cheese will do. -E
The Gargoyles cartoon was my favorite!
Very nice video!
Thanks!
Thank you
You are welcome! -E
The "Train-Baguette" is beetroot :)..with some majo =)
Kebab pizza has more or less become swedens national dish!
Also the "purple stuff" is red beet mixed with majo. :)
Really? As a swede, I have never tried our "national dish"...
It's weird seeing y'all in a non asian country :) Really enjoyed this though, can't wait for the next video!
I would probably call that "potato gratin with salmon" rather than pudding :P
But what do I know, I'm not the chef! :P
The pink stuff in pickled beetroot "salad"
You have to come to south sweden ( Malmö/Malmo)...More relaxed/chill people . And just a 25-30min car-ride/Train from Copenhagen. Love your videos !!! Love from sweden !!!
Yay Vasa museum! I agree it is a must see for Stockholm. 😄 julemust or julebrus as they call it in Norway is only during Christmas time. Not sure about Sweden, but in Norway the flavors are all different in each city. It can get quite addictive to try them all! Are u guys going to go to Norway?
No one mentioned to us anything about regional flavors, sounds neat! -E
The reason why the Vasa ship sank was not because the Swedes didn't know how build ships. It was because the Swedish king wanted to add more stuff and change things to the ship. And under some unreasonable time pressure and not being able to say no to the king. Ah well, you know the rest. :P
Nice video btw! :)
Haha, yea, it was super top heavy. Whoops. Still impressive! -E
-We need one more gun deck.
You guys are great at explaining your experiences. New subscriber. :)
Thanks! Glad you found us! -E
Stockholm will miss you guys, we hope you'll be back for summer.
Those "french" hotdogs was an 80s thingie to make hotdogs trendy I guess...I think its because the bread was kinda baguette styled compared to classic hotdog buns. Also there used to be a special mustard/mayonnaise dressing with it. The train sandwich is another long time classic - meatballs with beetroot-salad. See you in London.
In Spain they are sold as "swedish hotdogs".
Ha ha oh no we're in the matrix. Nothing makes sense anymore.
Laxpudding...The between stuff that is holding it togheter is..Egg, cream/milk =)...Called Äggstanning (Egg-Swedishword)
Take the boat from stockholm and visit helsinki!
I hope we can someday! -E
If you ever come back to Stockholm, you should visit a place by the name of "Sjätte Tunnan".
The top part looks like any other bar, but if you go down in to the basement... you will enter the medieval times of Stockholm, with drinks and food from the that time.
Here is the website for it.
www.sjattetunnan.se/
We actually stopped by, but they had a private event that night and were closed! Looked neat though! -E
ye yes the mead
48:50 its beatroots in mayo ! RÖDBETSSALLAD :D LOL
Rather late to see this great video - but having examined all the comments, no one has (so far) mentioned the telephone box. In the UK they can be used as lavatories, so the open exposed area to the south seems a way to stop this. Very sensible design. Fortunately the (dank) red telephone boxes are all being removed now.
Hahaha, interesting solution.
We pickle everything in Sweden. :)
Random fact about the throne at 16:15: A copy of this throne served as the Joker's throne in the 1989 Batman movie!
Oh neat!
The toilet "cheering you on" is just so it can be handicap/elderly friendly.
Also Link was always rude, rude people walk into your home and destroy your pottery looking for rupies, normal people don't.
In Danmark we also have Franch Hotdog :D
I wonder what they are called in France. -E
well, most of the hotdog stands have funny names for the hotdog they have:D In Danmark we have a whole cultur for eating hotdogs.
Hotdog?
**Kyde and Eric** ~"le[s] Chien[s]-Chaud[s]" ({; D ...?!? [ No; actually, c'est le/un "hot-dog"; un mot emprunte/a 'borrowed word' ]
The french hot dog is named after the type of bread but also because of the dressing that it usually comes with. Called French Hot Dog Dressing, very inventive haha... You often get the option of having ketchup and mustard instead but that sort of makes it just a bread heavy hot dog.
Never thought about it that way, but you're right haha! In Sweden we don't call it french fries but the word used has a french feel to it at least, Pommes Frites.
That pink stuff in the sandwich at the end of the video was probably beetroot-salad - like potato-salad, but with beetroots - but that's just a guess.
Rikstelefon used to be a phonebooth but noone ever use it so they have removed the phones but kept the "shell" just so that people can se what it use to look like.
"This far north" and "Stockholm" in the same sentence? that's a new one. :P
Compared to a majority of the the population on Earth, hahah
Lol. (Hot dog baked in a baguette - must be French.) Eric: Gas station hot dog basically ...
It wasn't very good. Haha.
Just found about a place called dagashi bars, would be a great, cheap place to visit that viewers might enjoy 😋
Good idea, I'll try to remember when we are back in Japanland
Looks like taco pizza but it looks delicious,great video 💛
34:10 Malls? :) There are no "malls" in the rest of the city proper either. (Not counting Solna, suburbs, etc.) The main difference with the newer parts compared to Gamla stan is that the streets are straighter and wider and that most surviving buildings are from the 1700s-1900s instead of 1300s-1700s.
No malls in Stockholm? What about Gallerian Mall? It's a 10 minute walk from the old town, haha. -Eric
@@kydeanderic I know, I live here. Gallerian is awful. Basicly a mistake from the weird socialistic city planning in the 1960s. An unholy alliance between totalitarian social engineering and some influences from the USA (mainly their car-based society, function separation, urban spread, etc.).
But still, Gallerian is not really a "mall" in the american sense, not a large one story building in an enormous parking lot in the middle of nowhere. :)
We will just have to disagree, it's most certainly a mall, haha. I'm an expert, I'm American. -E
@@kydeanderic Sure, that's ok, and a matter of words. But my main point was that [the attractive parts of] cities like Stockholm isn't dominated by large "malls" in aluminium boxes, but by smaller shops and boutiques. Preferably situated in carefully crafted romantic buildings made out of natural materials. ;-)
I enjoy your videos, btw.
That ship museum was pretty cool! Were those colored cherubs a model of the ones carved on the ship? And were they colored that way back when the ship was first made? I think the only thing french about that french hot dog is that is was served in a hollowed out baguette! I think that waffle was a liege waffle (a real yeast-risen Belgian style waffle), which is made with large sugar pearls (round balls of sugar) mixed in the batter. When the sugar pearls hit the hot waffle iron they melt and caramelize, making the waffle extra crisp on the outside. Cloud berry is an actual berry that is goldeny-orange in color. I think that phone box used to be a public payphone booth, but the phone was removed since cell phones came around. Another type of brined cheese you may have already had is feta. That "wider second floor" thing was very common in the old construction all over Europe and the UK to keep streets wide enough for merchant wagon carts, but still get extra square footage in their new construction. When I saw the color of the sauce on the sandwich, I immediately thought of pickled beets! Will we be seeing any of your visit with Tommy and Emma in the future? The new camera looks crisp and the sound is great! Thanks guys!
Yea, the cherubs were recreations of what they would have looked like new. Thanks for all the other info. We didn't film anymore in Sweden, but still have tons of other footage coming from other places! -E
Kebabpizza is something you only can get in sweden so its a very swedish dish, kinda :)
It's haloumi cheese.Only in Cyprous island they make it.
Sweden must be one of their bigger markets. For some years now, as vegetarianism is a big trend, haloumi has become a popular meat substitute for barbecue and burgers like you the one you tried.
Just subscribed you guys are amazing and love the editing subtle humor reminds me of Jackass or Wildboyz from MTV.
That is not 'ghetto' Julmust.
Apotekarnes and Nygårda are the best brands and thus they need to be everywhere to satisfy demand.
those peanuts are called GARRAPINIADAS in Argentina (probably in Spain too)
If you want to visit a Christmas market again, I recommend the one at Tokyo SKYTREE. I was there this last December, and it actually looked almost exactly the same as the one you went to. I almost thought you were in Japan for a moment.
Haha, I walked through it last year too, was surprised how much they had there, but things on offer were a bit different. Looking forward to checking it out next year.
I've heard of Cloudberries (I watch a show about Alaska and one of the people on it has talked about it) but have never tried one. It's a berry that only grows in like the most Northern latitudes I believe. Like if you roughly trace the Canadian/ American border going around the planet, it mainly only grows north of that. It's supposed to be Really high in Vitamin C, so people who live in arctic locations will pick them and then preserve them in various ways and eat that in the dark, sunless winters to get Vit C :)
And also, YAS Kyde, I *Also* Loved the Gargoyles cartoon show, and from that have always just Loved gargoyles. I just think they're so interesting =D
Looks like lots of good food in Sweden! Also that's interesting how they have the pay toilet, but the other toilet is free. I wonder if ladies ever use the free one?
Could be ..... messy!
Great video!! But damn, you went to the Royal Palace but didn't visit the Royal Armoury?? That's the best part man - ESPECIALLY if you're a Zelda fan; some of the body armours, weapons and such reminds me a lot of the Zelda games (especially Ocarina of Time)!
17:40 for some reason they pierce a long roll on a heated spike and drop a dog in it. I’ve had them in Paris
Wild! My French friend had never heard of it, hahaha. -E
I saw em in Croatia '81
It's french because it's stuffed in a baguette.
The purple stuffe is beetroot salet :)
Se upp means Watch out
Or Look above you
Pudding is also pie
Visit Belgium for proper waffles (and French fries).
You shuld newer be afraid to ask for more sallad or get it youre self in Sweden,Bread ,butter. It is in cluded.
Thats my local pizzeria Gröna Riddaren!😂
Nice!! -E
Ligger det i närheten av Gröne jägaren?
18:00 Maybe it's French because it's in a baguette.
Gamla Stan is also where Stockholm's Bloodbath occured in 1520. Sweden got a new king, a Danish one. Christian II, or as he became known in Sweden - Christian the Tyrant. He pretty much executed the whole Swedish articracy right there on the big square.
The place is beautiful, but as you hinted at... it's not "alive". It's more like a facade, a museum.. for tourists. A great place. But it could be way better if it was.. yeah, "alive".
We hear a lot that people from Stockholm regard Gamla Stan as a facade for tourists and not "real", but it's not the vibe we got from our friend who grew up there and gave us a in depth tour. It may not be representative of "normal" modern Stockholm, but it still felt like it had value, I'm glad we had a chance to check it out. -E
