I have never seen glögg with a foam! If you ever find a Scandinavian food store in the US, I recommend the brand Blossa if they have it. It's my favorite of all glöggs I have ever tried! Glögg is the Swedish version of mulled wine, but it is not exactly the same as mulled wine in other countries as different spices are used. You are suppose to drink it with raisins and pealed almonds in the drink when you drink it. The base of the Glögg spices are cloves, cinnamon, cardamom and ginger.
I think they were coned... that's not glögg, glögg is not warm wine. glögg i served with raisin and nuts in a cup no foam... that is some trendy shop i think that have taken an own interpretation of glögg
@@WyattandReyka we never drink glögg to cinnamon buns tho ;D we mostly drink it when outside at winter time and waiting to start a "tipspromenad" ;D where we walk around in a small town and someone has prearranged questions on paper that you answer with 1 x 2 :D like a quiz. or at a christmas buffe before the food. the best thing to drink to cinnamon buns is ice cold milk! thats what most does :) or coffee if you like that.
The reason it's spiced is to overpower the taste of wine that's gone bad. Back in the day, importing wine from the continent was incredibly expensive. Every now and then, a barrel would crack during shipping and the wine would go bad. Because it was such an expensive commodity, people would add whatever spices they had at hand in order to be able to drink it anyway.
To add to everyone else, often the sugar content in glögg is increased if the alcohol content is low so if you got it from a cafe it might be quite sweet since they probably don't have a alkohol licence @@WyattandReyka
Glögg is something we drink traditional in the winter that's why it's warm. You got lingon (lingonberry) to the meatballs. You said something about cloudberry, they are called hjortron in swedish. They are light orange in the collor and they taste like a sweet mix of mango and a raspberry. They are ecellent on waffle with icecream.
The glögg didn’t look right. We don’t have foam on our glögg here in Sweden. It’s usually served in a much smaller amount than what you got too. We don’t drink a big glass of it and not with cinnamon buns. Usually we add raisins and flaked almonds to it, which we fish up with a teaspoon when they are softer and have become infused with the glögg. If we serve anything with it, it would likely be lussekatter (saffron bread) or ginger bisquits. We only drink this in winter time. What you had looked like a different drink altogether. Lingon berries are not served with most foods in Sweden, only with a few dishes and meatballs is one of them. Meatballs are not so often eaten as fine dinner food, it’s more a filling lunch meal really or family dinner food, although you can of course eat it when you want. But you won’t usually get it at a fancy dinner party here in Sweden. We love our meatballs though although we don’t consider them fancy food. Just as often as we eat them with potatoes, cream sauce and lingon we also eat them with milk stewed macaroni or with spaghetti and ketchup. It’s quite common here to have a bag of meatballs in your freezer, either homemade previously or store bought versions of various brands. We just pop them into a frying pan, cook some potatoes or pasta and eat. So although many tourists seem to think this is fancy food in Sweden, it isn’t. Tasty though! We have a name for our Swedish traditional food dishes. We call them Husmanskost. Meatballs are husmanskost. So if you visit Sweden and look for traditional Swedish food, check the menu for husmanskost. Some husmanskost can be considered fine dine food and some is more simple home dinner kind of food. You can find vegetarian versions of some husmanskost. Meatballs are of course often meat based (beef and pork mixed or only beef), but you can easily find chicken meatballs and different plantbased versions made of peas or soy.
@@WyattandReyka I met my Swede online in ‘96, emigrated to him in Borlänge in ‘97, and in ‘09 we decided to try living here in Buffalo, NY where I’m born and raised, for a while with our son. We hope to move back in the next ten years when hubby gets close to retirement age!
That's an AMAZING story. Cheers and hope you guys are doing well in Buffalo. I (Wyatt) am a big american football fan and love Josh Allen on the Bills. Cheers and hope your hubby enjoys retirement when he gets there! My dad is about to retire too. Exciting times!!
As for mulled wine that you drank, it should be drunk warm when the flavors are released and then you drink it during Christmas. To understand how it is with the spicy mulled wine, if you first taste it cold and then the same mulled wine but heated, you will notice that the heated mulled wine is tasty. Mulled wine tastes especially good when you have been out in the fridge, so the warm mulled wine with spices warms up the body. Best brand of mulled wine is Blossa strong wine mulled wine (14% alcohol)
If you are in Stockholm I can recommend the restaurant "Soldaten svejk", they have good food for reasonably prices and they have walk in. There "plankstek" is highly recommended, it's an old swedish classic that did fall out of style for a while but it is making a comeback.
I usually drink glögg that is very smooth and round taste, made with red wine (or sometimes white!) and sometimes a little apple must or juice in some brands, and then the common glögg spices for that glögg taste! :)
Great video. Too bad you guys came during our coldest summer in recent times :D And like all other comments mentioned, Glögg is something you have in the same way you would drink hot chocolate, but a bit more fancy. Sometimes when you have christmas parties, this is what you would serve as people arrive or when the get together starts. Served both with and without alcohol. Not sure why they served it at a bakery in the summer, never seen that before :D
Super interesting! Yeah it was a bit odd to drink in summer, but enjoyable nonetheless! Would love to have it next to a fire with a blizzard outside. Nice, warming drink 🥰 are you from Sweden?? 🤔
@@WyattandReyka Oh nice, you definately should travel down the westcoast in the summer. All the way from Strömstad down to Halmstad. It's beautiful in June/July. Also the eastcoast with the islands Gotland and Öland. Beautiful in the summer.
One more thing. Meatballs are not served just with mashed potatoes at all. It is just as common with boiled potatoes, lingonberry sauce and pickled cucumber.
@@WyattandReyka Yay I hope that you will someday there's a lot to do by for example the Malmö-Lund part you can get to the other city by like train, bus...
Im always supicious of "real swedish meatballs" when you get them in a place like Stockholm. They never seem to get them the "old way" right. I mean they are nearly always good. But to find some proper ones you should head for some small country town tbf.
4,45 in Swedish,vilken snål portion !! 4 köttbullar o en liten klick potatismos,undrar vad de kostar ? The tiniest(tiny) portion I ve ever seen ! Should be at least 7 meatballs..
Oh man, yeah. That’s one of our biggest grievances at restaurants. You shouldn’t leave hungry! Yet we often do. Maybe it’s our big, American appetites, but we need a lot of food to be full haha
@@WyattandReyka you were cutting both the meatbolls and the toast with the fork from what i could see, i am not complaining, just observing 😉 and you guys seems like nice guys having fun!
Good correction. Seemed like we had them on like every plate but we DEFINITELY didn’t eat everything lol. Cheers hope you enjoyed the rest of the video
@@WyattandReyka It's ok. I just wish you would do a little more research before stating things as a fact. This is out there now, and nobody really reads the comments
Stockholm prices are extremly expensive. If you had gone outside Stockholm prices woud have dropped. Because your tourist they will direct you to the places most expensive.
HOLY SHIT THAT'S EXPENSIVE. x_x 4:25 WHAT THE HELL IS THIS!? That's so little mashed potato, what a scam. The ratio is all off, way too much sauce. Insane how people pay crazy prices for this stuff. You guys didn't get knives haha?
@@WyattandReyka Yeees it's typical Swedish pizza. Every pizzeria has banana as an option. But I don't want the curry on, it ruins it so make sure you don't judge it only on that if you get curry. Also pizza sallad always comes with pizza here and it's crazy to me that Sweden is the only place in the world that does that! It's soo good.
Let me guess. Surströmming. Nobody really eats that stuff. It's a meme. Then something something fika. It's just a coffee break. There's no "Fika culture". By law companies most give breaks during the shift. Some people drink coffee, some don't.
@@WyattandReyka Idk what he's on about, it's false. Perhaps he lives south of sweden, or not even in sweden at all. But the further up north you go, the more common the surströmming tradition is. As for the fika, i somewhat agree it's overblown. But it's a culture thats here for sure. Most dates for example would usualy start out with a fika instead of a full on course meal date. If you hit it off during the fika, you'd go on a 2nd date. And what he says by law companies gives breaks during the shifts is also true. However they're usualy spaced out like 09.00 in the mornining for some coffe, then you've lunchbreak then around 13-14.00 ish you get another break with coffe and fika. Altho ofc not everyone drinks coffe nor eats pastries during this time. But most usualy do.
Thanks for elaborating there! We were confused because it contradicted a lot of what we have read and learned in traveling Sweden!! Can’t wait to come back and explore more some day soon
Our life changed when we tried Swedish meatballs for the first time.
ABSOLUTE GAME CHANGER!!! Right?! We cannot wait to have some more again soon 🤗
For the better I hope. When made well they are truly awesome.
@@WyattandReykaIts not hard to make at home

😂 makes sense. It seems like a Christmas time sorta drink. Can’t wait to try some again in the Christmas markets of Vienna this year!
A bun should "never never never" have frosting on it. It is to destroy it. Or rather, no pastry gets better with frosting.
