Lololololol 😂😂😂 I knew what "Salmiak" is and I couldn't stand your innocent behavior and since you asked "What is Salmiak?" I couldn't stop laughing because I knew what would happen 😂😂 Aaaah, my stomach hurts from all that laughter 😂😂😂 You're too cute ❤
Samiakk is NH4Cl, and can clean the tube in the wc concentrated. Eating this your shit get softer. The right way to consume this, is to let it melt in your mouth
I'm sorry for torturing you with licorice and salmiak! But seeing those are some of my personal favorite snacks I wanted to see your reactions, I love Salt Sild myself and prefer the Salmiak Fisherman's friend. :P Glad you liked some of other stuff though, and i figured you might like the macrel. Though is one chocolate missing? I know i sent some Dronning Sjokolade too? or are ya gonna use it for it's indeded use, baking?
yeah the salmiakk flavor has a similar kind of enjoyment to spicy foods. i really did not like it for the longest time but i've taken after my pops and i cant get enough of the stuff now
Switzerland has very good chocolate (at least as good as ours in Norway). Belgium probably has the best chocolate in the world. Definitely way better than Norway.
I use to make Mackerel stew, which I serve with rice. 1-2 onions (depending on size and taste) is chopped and fryed in some oil with 1 teaspoon pepper. Add 2 tins of tomatoes and 2 tins of beans (I usually use white beans in tomato sauce, but any will do), 3 tins of mackerel in tomato sauce, 1 teaspoon curry powder, and salt it to taste. Cook for 5-10 minutes. This was a favorite with my children when they were small.
i love that you guys are so positive about the "makrell i tomat"! most people that gets this and tries in videos just look at it and smell it and assume it will be bad. It is actually really good
I also hate the fact that people say that Kvikk lunsj is Norway`s version of Kit Kat: Because what they don`t know, is that Kvikk Lunsj was made a year before Kit Kat was made. So Kit Kat is actually America`s version of Kvikk Lunsj...
As a Norwegian this video (and part 1) was very amusing to watch! I love watching videos of people from other countries eating Norwegian snacks. So far I've watched Americans, Brits, Australians and I think Germans? But these was by far the most entertaining ones! I also think that in most cases you did a good job pronouncing Norwegian words. ^^
To get makrell i tomat, try the norwegian sailors church in Kobe I think it is. Not sure if they are still there. If you visit, make sure to taste the waffles there too.
Macrell in tomatosauce has even another nickname. At least when and where I grew up in Norway. It's called Flykræsj (Planecrash) because it's looks like an accident. :p Pretty popular in Norway, but not to many people from outside of Norway, I have seen love it. Then tend to hate the smell. Most norwegian kids have grown up with this, and are used to the smell and love the taste of it.
Wow for a little Norwegian like me, Japanese people eating Norwegian snacks is like kings eating your home made ice cream. It is so cool watching this!
Hey! They did a test in Norway when it came to * Makrell i Tomat* and it had the exact same nutrients as fresh Mackerel, the sauce does of course increase the carb count a bit but its very healthy and tasty! One box a day is enough omega 3 as well:)
HT C just one portion of fish( rich in fat like salmon, tuna or macerel) three or more times in a week will give you all the omega 3 you need macerel in tomato juice is great on bread, hot potatoes, pasta, rice, you name it or just on its own I like to musch/squash it with a fork as much as possible before spreading it on toast almost like its a paste
HT C its really cheap and comes in small and big size containers. I keep a bunch of them in the house and for camping and lunch. Its great on rice and just as is!
Norway has a very long coastline with long fishing traditions, and one major aspect of this is that we've always salted and dried the fish to preserve it. When doing this, it develops a very salty taste, which has made Norwegian diet very salt-based, and made us enjoy salty foods more than usual. The ammonia taste is similar to salt, so we've grown used to that as well.
Oh dear! I just watched this and your previous Norwegian snack one. "Salmiakk" is named after a common, ammonia based, floor soap. I believe, here in Norway, we love to share really strong flavours even if they hurt a bit, like the salted herrings and salmiakk mints. This is not because we think they taste good per se, but because it is fun to share the experience. However, I am so glad you liked our chocolates and our tomato makrell!
OMG, Lol! 😂😂 This was the best! You both had my cracking up! You guys are so brave for trying everything, and I feel so bad for laughing while you are suffering through some of those snacks. But it's all in good fun. 😊😊😊 I have to agree that the mackerel in tomato sauce looked delicious and I wish I could try the candy with the raisins and hazelnuts.... Thanks for another fun food haul!💜💜💜
Oh dear, so many variations on salted licorice! Hopefully, all the chocolate and delicious fish made up for it. And I can't believe this was only half of your food haul. Your friend is so generous. Thanks for the video and have a great weekend.
Yoshiko Yeto there's a lot of them because that stuff is EVERYWHERE here. They even have ice cream with it in it!!! 🤢 my Norwegian husband adores it but it is straight up from the bowels of Satan lol. You cannot even imagine how salty that ammonium salt is. It's like all the salt from the oceans in one candy lol
We have Tongari Corn in Norway as well, it's just named "Sombreros" here. It's available in most countries under completely different names, they're originally from America, where they're called "Bugles".
i'm vietnamese and growing up my dad bought a ton off makrell i tomat and just smashed it in a bowl off rice for a lazy but enjoyable breakfast. (Live in norway)
You know how pregnant women sometimes get cravings for inedible stuff? It's apparently something related to iron deficiency, called pica. Anyway, when my wife was pregnant she wanted to eat brick, plaster and chalk. She knew that wasn't wise, and wouldn't of course, but she had cravings for it anyway. Knott became the solution. It's sufficiently chalk-like in texture.
OMG! I can't believe I haven't thought about trying the mackerel in tomato sauce with plain rice before! O_O As a Norwegian, I owe it to myself to try it out! Also the Smash commercial states this, and I have to agree; "It's close to impossible to eat only one" - "Det skal godt gjøres å spise bare én".
Hello Shinichi and Satoshi! The mackerel in tomato sauce looked really tasty, and there was so much wonderful chocolate! The salted licorice looked very difficult. I've never had it. Even though I like regular licorice, it is hard to imagine it. I think I probably would not enjoy it. Thanks to Tommy Sovik for all of the Norwegian treats! Best wishes to you two for a great weekend!
I dont know about everyone else, but we only buy the big chocolate bars for holidays...christmas, Easter or at other times when you are having people round. Sometimes when we go skiing or hiking. I never buy the big ones just for me and we do have a lot of them I smaller sizes too. Even in mini single serve bars 😉 a fun fact is the Kvikk Lunsj is the official chocolate that most people bring when the go skiing or hiking.
Just in case you didn't find the mackerel in Japan yet, Kaldi stocks it in the tinned fish section, by the sardines and that! Around 400 yen for a tin. I bought it for my boyfriend and his family in Osaka and they all adored it. I wish you got to try some other specialties that suits a Japanese palette as well, like Svolværpostei, Kaviar, Makrell i Salsa, and Varmrøkt Laks. If you can get your hands on these, I can't recommend them enough!
I think a reason in some places like Norway the chocolate bars are so big is because chocolate is so popular there because there's a lot of dairy farms in that area and also it's probably because of that more economic to produce - hence, they come bigger.
Instant like👍 I love to watch your videos and dream my self to Japan, but really cool to ser you eat food from where I am from. Stay safe, love from Norway😊😊
The white knott was actually used to cure stomach pain back in the days(when it first got out or something), and doctors actually adviced people to use it😊 If it’s true or not, I don’t know but there is many story’s about it here in Norway🙈 And I’ve tried it, it actually helps🙈 But just the white ones! I’m really sorry if I wrote something wrong, my english isn’t that good anymore🙈 Since I’m not using it enought. But great video guys! Love seeing people try things from our country!
Norway didn't always have these large-sized chocolate bars. A little over a decade ago, the chocolate brand, Freia was a Norwegian owned company, and the the largest chocolate bars available in Norwegians stores were about half the size of those in this video. There were also micro-sized ones that were designed with a fairy tale theme, both on the wrapping and on the bars themselves. These small-sized bars typically had a fairy tale castle carved onto the center of the bar, and the back of the wrapping had a short fairy tale on it. They were small, but they had a lot of charm. At some point, US company, Mondelez International bought Freia and one of the first things they did was to scale up the size of their chocolate bars. It didn't take long before the other, major chocolate brand in Norway, Nidar, followed suit.
Cool vid guys! Nice of the Norwegian guy to send you stuff, but much of it was candy that not many Norwegians even buy, like Lakrisbåter, Knott, Nero etc. It was also unnecessary with all the chocolate bars, because they're basically all the same with some different bites in them. The normal, plain "melkesjokolade" bar without any bites had been enough to show you what they taste like. It's cool that you liked Makrell i Tomat, the fish in tomato sauce, because many people from other countries thinks it's awful. I guess it has something to do with the japanese tradition for fish :)
Knott is a candy I always buy when I'm at the movies. I have eaten a couple of bags at least when I was a teenager a teenager and it's å legend in the shop.
Most of the big chocolate bars come in smaller sizes too. The big ones are usually advertized as being "family sized", so you can break them in smaller pieces and serve in a bowl to family or other visitors. Off course a lot of people get them simply because they want a huge chocolate bar. :P
If you want more of that mackrell you can go to "sjømannskirken" or sailor's church it's like a norwegian store/church for norwegians abroad that are pretty much in every county. They probably sell it there👌
Stabbur-makrell, or as many Norwegians (including myself) call it, makrell i tomat, is superb! I frequently have a slice of bread with makrell i tomat and a little dash of mayonnaise for breakfast. SO yummy! Your Norwegian skills continue to be excellent! "Lunsj" is pronounced exactly like "lunch" - it's just a Norwegian spelling of the same word. :)
had a laughing attack when i saw the fishermans friend salmiak flavoured one...was thinking "this is going to make them make wierd faces" i'm a northern norwegian and i love the salty flavoured candy....there is one kind of salty candy that is worse than the ones you tasted and its called hockeypulver
Oh god, when I saw the "flykrasj" (plane crash) as we call Makrell i Tomat (because it looks like a plain crashed and got smashed together into a small tin can..), I was afraid the person that sent this in was trolling you and saying it was a snack. So glad you got to try it out on bread!
Hi guys. Marie Williams from Louisville, Kentucky. I have not postec in a while, but I watch everything, every week. I am so glad you two found each other together you all are so precious and funny. Love y'all to bits, and I hope youcan come to Kentucky some day and let introduce you to some of our wonderful local foods and drinks.....especially Big Red soda from WhiteCastle.
As an Asian born in Norway I couldnt help but laugh when you guys were gonna try the Salmiak and salt sild, because as a child, when I first tried it I got the same reaction. Im not a fan of salt sild but I can handle Salmiak..sometimes.
I think mackerel in tomato is sold in every country, its just not that common maybe. And as you say, you can actually eat that for breakfast, lunch and dinner cause its very healthy ;)
😂😂😂😂😂😂 I can't stop laughing brothers!!! Nanda kore? Lololol!! All of the chocolates looked yummy!! Thanks to Tommy for sending fun snacks for you to try!!
Salmiak is a throat lozenge. It is Ammonium Salts that agitates the throat to cause viruses to get spat out of the mouth. Briesling sardines would be nice to send. Good job, Tommy.
Now I'm very curious about those salty licorice snacks. I may have to take a chance and order them from Amazon just to try. When I was a kid, I used to love eating these salted dried plums my mother got at Chinese grocery stores. My friends tried them and immediately spat them out.
They also have mackerel in spicy tomato sauce and even sweet and sour sauce now. But I like the traditional one in tomato sauce the best. I like to put mayonnaise on top too, but that's just me.
Hahaha. I knew that. .I have Lebanese friend from there in Norway. .once she send me a different kind of chocolates uuhh I like the taste of salmiak. .the home made bread ohhh I love it. I always love to see your mother cooking and not a lot of condiments. .I try her korokkei and potato salad and I really love it. .thanks a lot. .godbless you always. .
mackerel in tomatosauce, in norway we just call it "planecrash" or "Dead man in a box" lol :P but i really like it too, it is healthy to eat as well, it is most common to eat it on a slice of bread with some butter, some use majonaise on top as well, but i have not heard of someone eating it with rice or as dinner, i would not recommend eating it hot :P
Knott was a childhood favorite of mine. I was surprised at the strong reactions to it.. it's not that intense. I love all that salmiak-flavored candy.. Lakrisal, Fisherman's Friend, Tyrkisk Pepper.. Too bad you didn't get any Walters Mandler chocolate (it's in Freia's Melkesjokolade series, those lovely 200g bars). Otherwise I'd say this is a pretty good representation of Norwegian candy.
Ammonia actually translates to salmiakk in Norwegian. Fear not, the stuff used for cleaning is not the same as the stuff used in candy, though it is chemically similar.
You guys are REMARKABLY good at pronouncing Norwegian words! This was highly entertaining to watch! Also, Kvikk Lunsj doesn´t taste like Kit Kat, hehehehe
Always fun to see how people reacts to salted licorices. I'm Norwegian and I like them. But I also know Norwegians that hate that taste. I was surprised over how good you pronounced the Norwegian names on the candy! And about candy, I do NOT classify "Makrell i Tomat" (that fishy-thing in tomato sauce) as a snack. It is more of something we have on a slice of bread to breakfast or lunch. And I don't like it. :)
Funny video, guys. Maybe a slightly too large selection of choclate. And Salt sild is by no means the saltiest snack in Norway. I‘d love to see you guys try out some Dundersalt or Tyrkisk peber 😄
small funfact about the Troika chocolate: there is no adverticment, and ppl in the industry couldn't understand why or how it sold so well. it was found that it was males in their 30's or therearound that bought it mostly, and they didn't watch too mutch commercials anyways, and bought it because they liked it. this comment is just a long list of red lines, don't wanna proof read it XD
Katimashi That's exactly what "Smash" is. And I agree, I liked them better before they added the salt to it. And it's become a f***ing trend here now. And elsewhere too, I bet. Leave chocolate salt-free! ✊
Okey, that was interesting. Loads of good chocolate, but I felt it was missing some of the non-chocolate variants. Especially something called Tyrkisk Peber, and Hockeypulver, as well as my favorite chocolate (which I think is discontinued) Kvikk Lunsj with sea salt.
Salmiak is that horrific salted licorice. It tastes/smells like ammonia because it is salted with ammonium chlorid. In the food industry this salt goes by sal ammoniac which is then shortened to salmiak. To my knowledge very few people not raised eating this incredibly potent and salty licorice find it repulsive. Which I understand the saltiness is insane like its saltier than eating pure table salt.
I love one called dundersalt. It’s best after I had a few and my mouth started to get sore on the roof. The pain is bliss. I know it’s weird, but it’s my fav thing about them
cool that the nautica hat dude doesnt have the great pronunciation the guy in black has. But that makes it a lot more interesting to watch actually :D love u guys. hugs from norway
Lol whenever I see people trying Kvikk Lunsj and they say that it tastes just like KitKat I always say out loud "No it doesn't!" 😂
Same:c
Me to! It is way better than kitkat 😂👍🏻
some ppl who have a sharp pallate can taste the difference.
Ronniechops Same!!! (From Norway)
Same and I have taste both..IT is A BIG different
your pronounsiation of the norwegian words, are actually really good.
makes sense, Norwegian and Japanese has a lot of similarities when it comes to the pronunciation of vowels and consonants
Lololololol 😂😂😂 I knew what "Salmiak" is and I couldn't stand your innocent behavior and since you asked "What is Salmiak?" I couldn't stop laughing because I knew what would happen 😂😂
Aaaah, my stomach hurts from all that laughter 😂😂😂
You're too cute ❤
Samiakk is NH4Cl, and can clean the tube in the wc concentrated. Eating this your shit get softer. The right way to consume this, is to let it melt in your mouth
I love salmia
I literally can't stop laughing!
We need this as a Halloween candy in America that you hand out to kids you don't like.
I'm sorry for torturing you with licorice and salmiak! But seeing those are some of my personal favorite snacks I wanted to see your reactions, I love Salt Sild myself and prefer the Salmiak Fisherman's friend. :P Glad you liked some of other stuff though, and i figured you might like the macrel. Though is one chocolate missing? I know i sent some Dronning Sjokolade too? or are ya gonna use it for it's indeded use, baking?
You gave them a nice mix - makes me miss Norway...
When Grapes Pop i live in norway c:
Hedvig Kingland
Er norsk jeg også, men bor i USA for øyeblikket - savner norsk godteri!
yeah the salmiakk flavor has a similar kind of enjoyment to spicy foods. i really did not like it for the longest time but i've taken after my pops and i cant get enough of the stuff now
Du Myggen, du konne kje sendt de någe godt heller?? Sånn så Daim eller vanlige melkesjokolade
norway have the best chocolate
Signe Osan Olsen no shit
Yea, Norwegians tend to think so....
Switzerland has very good chocolate (at least as good as ours in Norway).
Belgium probably has the best chocolate in the world. Definitely way better than Norway.
Signe Osan Olsen Helt klart den norske er best 🖒
Norway always winn
I use to make Mackerel stew, which I serve with rice.
1-2 onions (depending on size and taste) is chopped and fryed in some oil with
1 teaspoon pepper.
Add 2 tins of tomatoes and 2 tins of beans (I usually use white beans in tomato sauce, but any will do),
3 tins of mackerel in tomato sauce, 1 teaspoon curry powder, and salt it to taste. Cook for 5-10 minutes.
This was a favorite with my children when they were small.
"What is a salmiak??" oh dear poor guys was going through my head, hell aint over yet
always thought salmiak is that pipe cleaner that stink haha :D
It’s a strong slightly salty flavor,
Famous last words...
i love that you guys are so positive about the "makrell i tomat"! most people that gets this and tries in videos just look at it and smell it and assume it will be bad. It is actually really good
Am i the only norwegian that gets mad when they say kvikk lunsj tastes just like a kit kat...
I also hate the fact that people say that Kvikk lunsj is Norway`s version of Kit Kat: Because what they don`t know, is that Kvikk Lunsj was made a year before Kit Kat was made. So Kit Kat is actually America`s version of Kvikk Lunsj...
Dalsboj a) kit kat was first released in 1935, kvikk lunsj 1937 and b) kit kat is English, not American.
Oh, my bad. Sorry about that.
Yes.
Taste nothing alike. I don’t like kit kat, but love kvikk lunsj
As a Norwegian this video (and part 1) was very amusing to watch! I love watching videos of people from other countries eating Norwegian snacks. So far I've watched Americans, Brits, Australians and I think Germans? But these was by far the most entertaining ones! I also think that in most cases you did a good job pronouncing Norwegian words. ^^
To get makrell i tomat, try the norwegian sailors church in Kobe I think it is. Not sure if they are still there. If you visit, make sure to taste the waffles there too.

hvor jeg kommer ifra kalte vi det for "Bestemors siste mensen"
I like that you guys are so positive
Wow for a little Norwegian like me, Japanese people eating Norwegian snacks is like kings eating your home made ice cream. It is so cool watching this!
Du er sinnsyk
Hey! They did a test in Norway when it came to * Makrell i Tomat* and it had the exact same nutrients as fresh Mackerel, the sauce does of course increase the carb count a bit but its very healthy and tasty! One box a day is enough omega 3 as well:)
Filip Lenz isnt it only one portion? like a single meal, anyway its very nice
HT C just one portion of fish( rich in fat like salmon, tuna or macerel) three or more times in a week will give you all the omega 3 you need macerel in tomato juice is great on bread, hot potatoes, pasta, rice, you name it or just on its own I like to musch/squash it with a fork as much as possible before spreading it on toast almost like its a paste

It is not healthy by any stretch of the imagination. Sorry to burst your bubble.
Abba mackerel and tomato on whole wheat bread with a thin layer of mayo on top, best breakfast.
In Norway we bring kvikk lunsj when we're out hiking :)

Important info: Kvikk Lunsj isn't like a Kit Kat, it is the ORIGINAL that Kit kat copied! ;) It is much older! And much much better too!
Zuno Zoo kvikk lunch copied kit kat, kit kat came out in 1957 and kvikk lunch in 1959
KitKat came in 1988 while kvikk lunsj came in 1937...

Kvikk lunch is smaller then kitkat and have don’t soo much chocolate on
I buy the salmiak variant of Fisherman's Friend all the time and I personally love it. Seeing your reaction to it made me laugh so hard lmfao 😂😂😂😂😂
OMG, Lol! 😂😂 This was the best! You both had my cracking up! You guys are so brave for trying everything, and I feel so bad for laughing while you are suffering through some of those snacks. But it's all in good fun. 😊😊😊
I have to agree that the mackerel in tomato sauce looked delicious and I wish I could try the candy with the raisins and hazelnuts....
Thanks for another fun food haul!💜💜💜
i love that you have prejudices and still go for it with an open mind. good job guys!
0:42 Glad you said that, because I was just about to say "THATS NOT A SNACK" lol!
You guys are so positive !
Oh dear, so many variations on salted licorice! Hopefully, all the chocolate and delicious fish made up for it. And I can't believe this was only half of your food haul. Your friend is so generous. Thanks for the video and have a great weekend.

The mackrel is an important source of omega 3 in the norwegian diet.
Yeah, but it’s not snacks. It’s something most people eat for breakfast.
So funny and so happy you finally got to try some norwegian food and candy:)
I dont know about everyone else, but we only buy the big chocolate bars for holidays...christmas, Easter or at other times when you are having people round. Sometimes when we go skiing or hiking.

But we still have those mini fairy tail chocolate bars.
the fairytale ones still exist. as does other smaller versions of melkesjokolade.
Cool vid guys! Nice of the Norwegian guy to send you stuff, but much of it was candy that not many Norwegians even buy, like Lakrisbåter, Knott, Nero etc. It was also unnecessary with all the chocolate bars, because they're basically all the same with some different bites in them.

Knott is a candy I always buy when I'm at the movies.

Haha jeg digger den Japanske aksenten. helt rå på norsk uttale også :D
Ronsire enig
If you want more of that mackrell you can go to "sjømannskirken" or sailor's church it's like a norwegian store/church for norwegians abroad that are pretty much in every county. They probably sell it there👌
tomato makrell is really good for your health and body
Stabbur-makrell, or as many Norwegians (including myself) call it, makrell i tomat, is superb! I frequently have a slice of bread with makrell i tomat and a little dash of mayonnaise for breakfast. SO yummy!
Your Norwegian skills continue to be excellent! "Lunsj" is pronounced exactly like "lunch" - it's just a Norwegian spelling of the same word. :)
lol that reaction to the salmiak....:) classic. my favorite has to be the tomato paste thing too.
I love your food and snacks testing videos!
I love eating that makrell with warm rice and minced onions and tomatoes. So yummy!
had a laughing attack when i saw the fishermans friend salmiak flavoured one...was thinking "this is going to make them make wierd faces"
i'm a northern norwegian and i love the salty flavoured candy....there is one kind of salty candy that is worse than the ones you tasted and its called hockeypulver
Love the videos keep them coming love from Norway.
Oh god, when I saw the "flykrasj" (plane crash) as we call Makrell i Tomat (because it looks like a plain crashed and got smashed together into a small tin can..), I was afraid the person that sent this in was trolling you and saying it was a snack. So glad you got to try it out on bread!
jeg har aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaldri hørt noen kalle det flykræsj???? hvilket fylke er du fra?
Hi guys. Marie Williams from Louisville, Kentucky. I have not postec in a while, but I watch everything, every week. I am so glad you two found each other together you all are so precious and funny. Love y'all to bits, and I hope youcan come to Kentucky some day and let introduce you to some of our wonderful local foods and drinks.....especially Big Red soda from WhiteCastle.
As an Asian born in Norway I couldnt help but laugh when you guys were gonna try the Salmiak and salt sild, because as a child, when I first tried it I got the same reaction. Im not a fan of salt sild but I can handle Salmiak..sometimes.
I think mackerel in tomato is sold in every country, its just not that common maybe. And as you say, you can actually eat that for breakfast, lunch and dinner cause its very healthy ;)
Started cringing so hard when I saw salmiak. Though I have to say black licorice is one of my favorite things. Loved the video, keep up the good work.
I am Norwegian and i eat that makrell i tomat with rice all the time, its great!
Nobody told you that Salmiak is LICORICE in strong? poor you! I LOVE licorice and Salmiak! Again a very nice vlog! Best regards from Germany!
The tiny Villosa Sallos diamond pastilles are fantastic!
It really isnt, its a mineral salt used primarily for industrial cleaning. But man its delicious!
😂😂😂😂😂😂
I can't stop laughing brothers!!! Nanda kore? Lololol!!
All of the chocolates looked yummy!! Thanks to Tommy for sending fun snacks for you to try!!

Norway have a bread culture similar (but not identical) to the German one and that is what we eat the macrell with.
Salmiak is a throat lozenge. It is Ammonium Salts that agitates the throat to cause viruses to get spat out of the mouth. Briesling sardines would be nice to send. Good job, Tommy.
Now I'm very curious about those salty licorice snacks. I may have to take a chance and order them from Amazon just to try. When I was a kid, I used to love eating these salted dried plums my mother got at Chinese grocery stores. My friends tried them and immediately spat them out.
How they taste?
"i hope its not Fish and Snails" best moment in the vid XDDDD
Tommy is a real champ for giving all of this candy i'll bet that was between 75-100dollars worth of candy
thanks guys another great video
You brave men eating with a white shirt
asombrosas invenciones especially the makrell i tomat! I always spill when I wear white clothes....
unOrdinary!!!!!!!!
You guys are good in Norwegian! I am for Norway. You guys are good youtubers
that marzipan jelly thing in germany is a "Dominostein" you should try it :D Norwegian has the best LICORICE Candy and alcohol i know
Thank You
They also have mackerel in spicy tomato sauce and even sweet and sour sauce now. But I like the traditional one in tomato sauce the best. I like to put mayonnaise on top too, but that's just me.
Hahaha. I knew that. .I have Lebanese friend from there in Norway. .once she send me a different kind of chocolates uuhh I like the taste of salmiak. .the home made bread ohhh I love it. I always love to see your mother cooking and not a lot of condiments. .I try her korokkei and potato salad and I really love it. .thanks a lot. .godbless you always. .
I live in Norway and my favorites is the "madelstang" and "melkesjokolade fruktoott"
mackerel in tomatosauce, in norway we just call it "planecrash" or "Dead man in a box" lol :P but i really like it too, it is healthy to eat as well, it is most common to eat it on a slice of bread with some butter, some use majonaise on top as well, but i have not heard of someone eating it with rice or as dinner, i would not recommend eating it hot :P
Knott was a childhood favorite of mine. I was surprised at the strong reactions to it.. it's not that intense. I love all that salmiak-flavored candy.. Lakrisal, Fisherman's Friend, Tyrkisk Pepper..
Too bad you didn't get any Walters Mandler chocolate (it's in Freia's Melkesjokolade series, those lovely 200g bars). Otherwise I'd say this is a pretty good representation of Norwegian candy.
Lakrisal is the shit
Ammonia actually translates to salmiakk in Norwegian. Fear not, the stuff used for cleaning is not the same as the stuff used in candy, though it is chemically similar.
You guys are REMARKABLY good at pronouncing Norwegian words! This was highly entertaining to watch! Also, Kvikk Lunsj doesn´t taste like Kit Kat, hehehehe
confession... I LOVE salmiak... my cousin sent me some from Sweden when I was a kid, and I've loved it ever since
Smash probably the most liked candy in Norway
I LOVE Knott XD those are some of my absolute favourites, and the grey one is the best one :P
I'm Norwegian - say no more :P
Really like your videos, keep up the good work. Greetings from denmark
Salmiak: When you need something worse than the weather to lighten up your mood...
Always fun to see how people reacts to salted licorices. I'm Norwegian and I like them. But I also know Norwegians that hate that taste.
I was surprised over how good you pronounced the Norwegian names on the candy!
And about candy, I do NOT classify "Makrell i Tomat" (that fishy-thing in tomato sauce) as a snack. It is more of something we have on a slice of bread to breakfast or lunch. And I don't like it. :)
I found an import store in Nagoya that sold the Norwegian mackerel in tomato sauce. So it is obtainable in Japan, but it was really expensive!
Funny video, guys. Maybe a slightly too large selection of choclate. And Salt sild is by no means the saltiest snack in Norway. I‘d love to see you guys try out some Dundersalt or Tyrkisk peber 😄
small funfact about the Troika chocolate: there is no adverticment, and ppl in the industry couldn't understand why or how it sold so well. it was found that it was males in their 30's or therearound that bought it mostly, and they didn't watch too mutch commercials anyways, and bought it because they liked it.
this comment is just a long list of red lines, don't wanna proof read it XD
Hi guy's Norway snacks yummie part 2 thanks stay safe God BLESS to all
Kubbe as a noun means a "log", as in a wood log.
Kubbe as a verb means "to fall asleep when very drunk".
I just eat mackerel in tomato sauce straight out of the can :D Greetings from Finland!
Well, now I have to go cover a bag of Bugles in chocolate!
Katimashi my thoughts exactly! Hahaha
lol yes bugles. I wonder if they had salt on them before the chocolate though?
Katimashi That's exactly what "Smash" is. And I agree, I liked them better before they added the salt to it. And it's become a f***ing trend here now. And elsewhere too, I bet. Leave chocolate salt-free! ✊
hahaha, you guys are so funny, evey time you taste something. mmm, oohh, mmmm
from norway
A very common thing for the Makrell i tomat is to have mayo on top (just a touch).
Okey, that was interesting. Loads of good chocolate, but I felt it was missing some of the non-chocolate variants. Especially something called Tyrkisk Peber, and Hockeypulver, as well as my favorite chocolate (which I think is discontinued) Kvikk Lunsj with sea salt.
jeg savna også hokkey pulver og tyrkisk pepper!!!! hva skjedde med dem liksom
Why would they try danish (tyrkisk peber) and swedish (hockey pulver) in a video about norwegian stuff?
De er ikke norske.
I am from Norway and troika is my fav.
ole kristian ruud den er god ja 😍
Thats why we bring like 50 boxes mackerel every time we travel back to Thailand xD
Salmiak is that horrific salted licorice. It tastes/smells like ammonia because it is salted with ammonium chlorid. In the food industry this salt goes by sal ammoniac which is then shortened to salmiak. To my knowledge very few people not raised eating this incredibly potent and salty licorice find it repulsive. Which I understand the saltiness is insane like its saltier than eating pure table salt.
RobRuckus65 my Norwegian husband loves it. Especially that Turkish Pepper one. It's the Devils candy 😂😂😂
I love one called dundersalt. It’s best after I had a few and my mouth started to get sore on the roof. The pain is bliss. I know it’s weird, but it’s my fav thing about them
cool that the nautica hat dude doesnt have the great pronunciation the guy in black has. But that makes it a lot more interesting to watch actually :D love u guys. hugs from norway
As soon as i saw you guys taste the mackerel, i had to go get some for myself
Troika! Man, you guys are lucky getting this stuff in the mail.
