You can't have meatballs and potatoes without the beloved gräddsås! 😅
Brunsås skall det vara! :)
lingon sylten da
Oscar den Store brunsås*
Wait, what? 😅 I thought you can’t have Swedish Meatballs without lingonberry jam. 😅
@@queenofwales_ Well they did have the lingon berry jam so I did not count it in 😅
Kaviar is salty, best eaten on boiled eggs, to give the eggs a salty taste
Is'nt Kalles caviar for kids?
I prefare Drotts caviar, it's more an
"adult" taste.
Eeeew! I cant stand kaviar on eggs! My tastebuds scream HELL NO! Eggs go with salt or mayonnaise!
I agree with you 100%
@@joelelmlund4972 Mayonnaise on eggs! Are you insane? Just herbal salt on my eggs.
Kaviar on sliced potatoes!
HEATHENS! You forgot the "brunsås" with the meatballs! Great video as always, thanks! =)
Nah, it should def be gräddsås!
@@oskjan1 brunsås är gräddsås med soja i
Patrik Josefsson lol
And salty gurkings..Its a crime not to have them With meatballs
Gräddsås, baby.
The name Skagenröra has a kind of a funny back story. The Swedish chef Tore Wretman was out sailing with buddies, and improvised a snack by putting mayonnaise and shrimp on toast. When he served it, one of them asked "What is this"? At the time they were close enough to land to see it, and it happened to be Skagen, the northernmost tip of Denmark. So he said it was called Toast Skagen. And that was how Skagenröra, the Swedish name for it, came about.
Kaviar is best eaten on top of a Leksand knäcke or a toasted råg/vetekaka (a soft bread) sandwich with butter and sliced boiled egg.
Skagenröra is a bit of a gamble in the store, some can be really bad, much better to make your own with like 50/50 good mayo and cremefraishe as the base.
If you are going to have meatballs with potatoes you need to serve them with a sauce like gräddsås (cream sauce), svampsås (mushroom sauce) or brunsås (brown sauce) or it gets really dry.
Regina Säveholm Olsson och potatis mos
@@flexbert7596
Med mos kan man klara sig utan sås då mos innehåller mjölk och smör så dte är inte lika torrt som ren potatis.
Is all meat in Sweden halal now ?
Det ska ju vara en macka med kokt ägg och Kalles kaviar. Med ett glas Oboy till blir "äktheten" komplett. ;P
Aa visst
Ente oboy! Annars instämmer jag ;)
Sant! Äter kokta ägg med kaviar och grovbröd nu till frukost,! Kan inte bli bättre!😅
Mmmm agree😁
Swedhis pro
The caviar is a lot better with sweeter bread, or combined with boiled egg on the sandwich. And storebought Skagenrora, which I guess you tried is pretty bad.
nickezsplit det ska jag prova nästa gång! 🤗
Lingongrova, kaviar och ägg
@@StefanThyron Can I also recomend kaviar with cheese on bread. It does a great job of balancing the flavour. I don't know if they do this in Sweden, but it's pretty common in Norway
@@kristiansundsfjord4095 Yes, it's common in Sweden too, especially by some of the older generations, like my parents ate it when they were younger, apperently the combination makes it taste more like ham that were more expensive then. The kinda ham you have on sandwiches.
@@kristiansundsfjord4095 That's pretty much the only way I eat Swedish kaviar. A decent spread of kaviar and a lot of cheese. But then I put a lot of cheese on everything I can...
Lovely to see all of you getting along so well and I’m impressed by the Swedes english. Also cred to you Stefan for your great content :) hugs from Gothenburg
I grew up eating Kalle's, along with herring. I love it with eggs. Sometimes just butter and cavier on Wasa bread.
You must have Brunsås to meatballs! Important! 🙂
I got the feeling your brother was struggling with non sweet tastes in that challenge, like the caviar and the skagen. When he got to the lingonberry that seemed to be his language, and it would make sense because food in general in the States is very sweet due to high fructose corn syrup being added to nearly everything (including things that you really wouldn't think needed to have a sweet taste at all).
I've been watching your channel for a while since Im Swedish and just now I realised that you deserve another subscriber, fett skön kille fortsätt med dessa videor👊🏼glad att folk som du också flyttar hit och bidrar
Very typical, the Swede uses the knife and the Americans not lol. I am live in america and i notice Americans don't use the knife as much as Swedes do or at least not in the same way
Annika Stogsdill det är sant, svenskar äter med bestick oftare!
My mother would berate me for not holding the knife. Even if it's not needed. 😁
@@sprinklesandwrinkles I always hold the knife even if i really don't use it, it is just a habit from growing up in Sweden :)
They americans eat in a more rough way! 😅 Swedes & Scandinavians learn from childhood 2 use fork & knife. Eating with more style 👌
Yeah, and Americans also use their fork a bit like a spoon, with that side up , while Swedes use it with the other side up (10:57-11:00). They also use it as a "spork" and cut things with, like the potatoes. Perhaps it could be an idea for the next video, trying to eat with a knife and fork like a Swede. If you plan to hang out in areas like Östermalm and Täby and such, it´s probably a good skill to learn. You don´t always have to use it, but it could be nice to be able to if you´re invited to some nicer party or a wedding or similar.
Pro tip: Kalles kaviar on boiled eggs. That's where it's at. On pretty much everything else, kaviar is a waste.
Nah, it's really good on hard bread or limpa or franska with a *lot of butter.*
Very nice along with cold milk chocolate (like you had as a kid) or coffee or milk or even beer.
I would prefer eating Kalle's on a piece of hard bread with a LOT of butter and a bowl of strawberry cream with milk 😍
@@dennisandersson564 I won't stop eating until I run out 😂😂😂😂 too yum
I LOVE these type of videos where ppl from different countries try Swedish food. This one is probably the best one I've see so far. Where you actually use butter on the toasts etc.With that said. I don't like when the dish is not complete. Like tasting "sill" without gräddfil, gräslök and potatoes. Or meatballs without gräddsås or brunsås, also not homemade meatballs. Or when ppl take surströmming straight from the container with nothing else on it. You get my point. But as I said before. This one is probably the best trying swedish food I've seen so far.
Regular kalles kaviar is a bit strong for me, so I enjoy the kalles randiga which is kaviar mixed with cream cheese, on sweet bread (lingongrova) with hard boiled egg and a glass of O’boy 😂😍
this is one of your best.
Eat your vegetables!
Love your show!
Keep up the great work!
I knew the dude to the right was a Swede even before he started talking It was his Eyes. I have spent many years abroad abroad and I know when I meet a Swede.
Toulouse de la Poubelle Yeah man he looks so Swedish.
kalles kaviar is so good. I love it.
Now I finally understand why Swedish Meatballs have made such a name.
It's because of the foreigners coming to Sweden celebrating midsummer, christmas and easter here, and compared to the seafood dishes on the great table, the meatballs taste like heaven.
All the praise is directed at the only dish these foreigners finds edible 😂
Simon M and its always someone grandma who has made them with 50 years of cooking experiance
Now that I work at IKEA, my sons are angry because I no longer make homemade Swedish meatballs; I just bring a bag from work. The potato/meatball/lingonberry combo is the BOMB! Have you tried lutefisk?
It's called "lutfisk" in Swedish; "lutefisk" is the Norwegian spelling. ;-)
@@syntaxerror8955 sorry about that. I was an exchange student to Sweden in the 70's, and have forgotten all my Swedish.
The amount of caviar you put on that piece of bread is what I put on a whole sandwich
10:18
"you want some meatballs?"
*leaves her 1 meatball*
Rikard Nilsson She will have additional 2 later that night.
Awesome!
Great fun to see how foreigners perceive Sweden and Swedish food, keep it coming 🤣. Love Kaviar to my breakfast (boiled) egg, and on Knäckebröd (you have to try that !), by the way.
Meatballs with no gravy (Brunsås or Gräddsås)!? For someone so fond of Sweden to offend us so strongly is shocking Stefan. Not a good example to your brother if he's to live hear one day.
The three musketeers can’t wait for next video
Lol at your brother where he says..ohhh its sooo gross. Ha ha ha ha haaa..great vids..I'm watching what I can cuz I'll be going to Sweden in the new year and I'm realizing how different the cultures, weather people are. I dont wanna get there then get homesick so I'm listening to u speak swedish and swedish way of life so I'm not feeling so alienated when I'm there,lol. It's a long way from home in the U.S. 🤗
It would be fun to see you and your friends eat some "rårörda lingon". Even better if you go to pick them and prepare them yourselves since that's the best experience.
Great channel! :)
I will definitely try it during my stay in Sweden haha !
I think you should try "Tjälknöl". I just love that with potatos and "Brunsås" All homemade thouge. It takes a long time doing the Tjälnöl but its in the owen so you can do it over night even. Love it.
I never use more than a thin layer of kaviar on buttered bread, preferebly with hardboiled sliced eggs ontop.
This is fun to watch even if I'm from Norway. We have very similar snacks
meatballs is often seen as THE go to swedish food, but honestly in my opinion the absolute most swedish every day food is the good ol' falukorv (which is completely unique to sweden unlike meatballs) & makaroner with ketchup and a glass of milk
kriho02 radhusbiff aka blodpudding !
I like that there’s a flyttlåda in the background
Fredricks english is so wholesome
You need a hard boiled egg with kalles kaviar. Dark bread, a sliced egg and some kaviar on top. Yum!
Homemade meatballs with mashed potatoes without sauce and preserved uncooked lingonberry is the best. A little Kalles kaviar on hardbread (knäckebröd) and sliced hardboiled eggs is okay. Homemade skagenröra with creme fraiche, mayonnaise and shrimps, dill, lemon, and herbes is the real deal. In Sweden you can find Toast Skagen everywhere. Really nice. Fish/seafood is better than meat. Pickled herring is very healthy food and you can do your own with your own taste.
Don't know if you ever tried smörgås with köttbullar and rödbetssallad! If not... You'll need to try it! Så jäkla gott!
Unbelivable that Fredrik put WAY to much on yours and then went around and put about half on his own.
Also that's not how you eat it. Sure we swedes who're already used to the taste does that. But for beginners, aw man. He should have put hard boiled egg slices on top of the sandwich and then the kaviar on top of the eggs.
And like everyone else said, it's needs to be sweeter bread. Hönökaka, try that. Way better for eating kaviar.
But most importantly, EGGS!
Works great on Skogaholms too, I usually spread the kaviar around into a more fin layer. Kalles also works with milder forms of cheese and the creamcheese/kalles variant is the best.
Who're btw
good stuff boys, stay safe
When eating Kaviar i always recommend a person who never have eaten it before to have some cheese with it and one cheese that i really recommend would be Hushållsost or Gouda ost
Nice editing
I actually like the striped Kalles much more than the ordinary one. It isn't that intense since it's also mixed with creamy cheese. Nice video! :-)
I love meatballs with brunsås
Srdjan Smudja gräddsås
the Swedish guy is hilarious. He should have his own channel.
This video is one of my faves, it made me laugh, I tried this caviar years age when I lived in Sweden for a year ( i am Danish, but live in US) This stuff is VERY salty!
You’ll need a cream sauce to the meatballs. But lingonsylt is a gift from the Gods! You should try crispy fried pork belly with onion sauce, lingonsylt and potatoes. Classic.
Patrick Nordsvahn hnnn now I have to do that!!
And Stefan, you HAVE to have gräddsås with the meatballs and best is proper mashed potatoes. Super tasty.
on the sandwich put slices of boiled eggs and then kaviar on top...that is good!!
Helles Kaviar-seems to taste well with Knackebrod ! Its the only way i serve it.As for Swedish Meatballs-try a variation of Salmon/Chicken/Veggie Meatballs.Any of these four varieties are available-all are tasty as well !
I bet like it's Greek Taramosalata. Fish roe dip made with bread and olive oil. It's really quite good.
I haven't even thought of eating meatballs and potatoes with lingonberries, but without sauce (gräddsås), that's just weird. It's the mix of it all that's so good.
Edit: Also, I used to not like kaviar, but the Kalles Kaviar with cream cheese in it is really good. There's a bread called Vetepärlan, which goes great with a layer of that kind of Kalles Kaviar and then hushållsost on top of that.
Tak
Ha-ha what a fun experience for you...lol
So the reason why there's a lot of seafood here in Sweden (and in Norway, Denmark and Finland) is because of the coastlines. A large amount of countries are bordering to the sea, which means that we have a fresh supply of seafood all year around. Compared to the states, where instead most of the inner area is landlocked, there's a greater dependency upon protein from regular ol' land animals. I myself grew up in a small town in the middle of Sweden (also somewhat landlocked) where we didn't really have a supply of seafood, so I never had a chance to grow to love seafood in the same way as the people in Stockholm or Gothenburg, for example - I completely understand why it feels weird with the Swedish style of diet.
You must have that gravy. - gräddsås!
Jamila Elisabeth Angela Gunnarsson
- Säger varenda Svensk person här 😂
Kalles kaviar and sliced egg is great on sandwich.
Should try Leverpastej from Pastejköket on bread it is extremely good but even better with freshly cut cucumber on it
Kalles is the best!!! I grew up eating this in America!
Yooo. New to the channel. Love to see the differenses beetween sweden and the usa. Im from deep down sweden ;) if you heard about skåne? I would like to se how you react to our accent couse it's pretty different.
The aftertaste of kaviar is the good part
I live in US and most of my American Friends has limited palette when it come to foods, drink.
I’m sorry but THEY ARE SPYEES
Can ypu come visit Gothenburg anytime? The coast here is amazing especially in "Bohuslän"
You need to try blodpudding
You should definitely try out the dishes and deserts at IKEA tho
Can't imagine life without Kalles.
You can buy Kalles Kaviar in America at Ikea.
You have to test the sur strömming it’s delicious
As a Swedish expat, it makes you sob with homelonging a bit... Kalles and Skagen. :-)
Christina, Listen stefan....kalles kaviar is what we swedes grew up with and we love it. I love your videos. Keep it up.😀
We got red wine boiled oysters in my school. Too bad I’m a picky eater, we had great food.
Kalles kaviar on toast (a thin spread) with cucumber slices
*Lets fucking go dude - The swedish guy eating a meatball.
Try pölsa with fried potatoes, fried egg and pickled beetroot. It's pretty good.
Det bäst är med Håvelimpa och ost 🙌🙌 och oboy 🤩
Noo You need to have Gräddsås to The meatballs!
You got to try boiled egg on a toast with kaviar its the best
Kaviar... 😍 I have groce mix for you: Kalles kaviar, raw onion in Filmjölk... Mmmm... it's addictive...
Fil, Corn Flakes, pressed garlic, a spoon of Vegemite, surströmming, and kaviar on top. The best! :-D :-D :-D
I for real have a kalles kaviar painting in my kitchen aha
If you ever go to the other scandinavian countries, lets say Norway, you should try brunost - basically "Brown cheese", that is also something with a special taste 😅
Kalles works really well with eggs (hard boiled)
I loveee skagenröra 😍😋
You should try kaviar on an egg, or an egg sandwich. Also, try Klädesholmens kaviar.
You should try smörgåstårta. I used to hate it before but I don’t know how I feel about it now as an adult because I always get so grossed out about it when I see it nowadays.
Where´s the brown gravy?!! Brunsås eller gräddsås?!!
Btw kalles kaviar is blende with mayones. You need to try the Norweigian one we have 5 different, fom mild to strong!
Boiled eggs on a sandwich with Kalles is 👍🏼
Wow, you look so much alike 😁
I always wondered if Swedish meatballs for from Sweden or not. Like it has “Swedish” in the name, but I googled it one day and it said Amerika.. 🙃 those have always been my favorite during the holidays!
Put sliced eggs on a piece of knäckebröd and then kaviar on top, and have a beer, super!!
You should have "brunsås" and "rårörda lingon" with those meatballs
You need to try snus my man :D
Kalles =P love it!
Swedes who call shrimp salad (räksallad) Skagenröra should lose the right to call themselves swedes, there's a huge difference. Either way awesome video as usual Stefan, I really love your open minded approach to new things and life in general and honestly you're already more Swedish than many people I know, happy to have you here and I hope you'll stay for a long time. Big love
Fun to watch, and so sweet of Stefan's brother to be polite when tasting all the food!
But the comments the swedish guy made towards him were a bit childish/douchy at times.
No I don’t agree with that. If anything stefans brother came off quite childish with the way he reacted to the food...
Let's say lagom childish ..inga problem
yaxi zhang Sverige landet lagom 😂
De är både barnslig...
Allt är ju svingott!
i don't love the taste of kaviar but i still like it sometimes. i guess it's just one of those things you get used to while growing up in sweden xD
Have you tried new potatoes with matjes sill gräddfil and gräslök my favorit!! Delicious 💗💗💗💗💗
