    Max is the GOAT, family company that started out in a small town north of the arctic circle with a population of less than 10 000.
    Also Max and McDonalds have the same wings, but they're better at Max, they're more moist and have a better flavor to them, probably due to a different oil being used for frying them.

      The key word for me is "fresh" taste, which makes Max the winner by far.
      The "Swedish" recipe for better burgers is tasty sauces (instead of just ketchup/mustard that will be the case in many countries - with optional plain mayo) .

      ​@@PontidenvresigeWhat do you mean with dirty? If you're talking about how messy it can be inside restaurants, blame it on certain customers. The staff at Max try to keep everything clean, but when there's an unexpected rush of people, it's hard to keep the place clean AND push orders out quickly. It's a fine line between efficacy and maintenance at times.

    Some interesting things that might confuse Americans going to a Swedish McDonald's:
    The soda on the receipt will show as size L/M/S on the receipt, which is not Large/Medium/Small, that's Swedish Liten/Mellan/Stor (ie. opposite order). Also a Swedish large coke is about same size as an American small size. So if you buy a large coke, you get a small US size, and it will say "Coke S" on the receipt 😆

      Seeing Sweden is like one city in the US population wise, are there any nation wide burger restaurants/franchise in the US which aren't in other nations too (like McDonald's and Burger King) And was the menu at McDonad's & Burger King the same in Sweden as in USA or did it have variations?

    Fun to watch, not least since your hotel is just opposite my office. As for the Västerbotten cheese sticks, it is a cheese from the Västerbotten region of Sweden. It is a hard cow's milk cheese with tiny holes and a firm and granular texture. Strong in flavour, its taste is described as somewhat like Parmesan cheese, salty, but with more bitter notes. The Västerbotten cheese pie has become something of a staple among the treats for Easter, Midsummer, crayfish and Christmas in Sweden.

    Never heard anyone say a Kanelbulle has a "hot" taste, maybe they had a bit too much cinnamon in it. Or they just put way too much sugar in the US version. While there is a fair bit of suggar in a kanelbulle, it's not supported to overpower the main ingredient, the cinnamon. We also don't glaze them with melted sugar as I've seen them do with McDonald's cinnamon buns in the US(traditionally, I'm sure it's an option at bakeries), just sprinkle sugar on top.
    If you like it sweeter, there are versions with apple or vanilla.
    My mother used to sometimes make them with apples mashed into a fine paste(äppelmos) and spread thinly over the flattened dough before it's rolled up. Like it more then the chunky version i sometimes come across from bakeries.

    The MAX hamburger chain started in 1971 in the city of Luleå in Norrbotten. Max is the hamburger chain that beats out Mc Danaolds in several places in Sweden and is considered to have the best food among the hamburger chains in Sweden. Personally, I prefer the Flippin' Burgers place. Then they do everything themselves from scratch, such as grinding the ground beef with fat themselves and shaping the hamburgers, a bakery makes bread for Dee's hamburgers, they make the french fries themselves from potatoes, they pickle the red onion and cucumber themselves plus everything else they serve.

      Halloumi is a name protected cheese primarily made from sheep, but can also be goat. But I has to be from Cyprus. It’s origin protected (like Champagne) so generally it’s considered really bad for the environment. Especially as
      Cyprus has the highest use of antibiotics in EU. There are heaps of similar local cheeses just not called Halloumi. For instance the Swedish made cheese is called Grilloumi. As it’s mostly grilled.

    Real Swedish fast food is kebab and pizzas. But, the actually REAL Swedish fast food is hotdogs, fries, ketchup, mustard and räksallad. That's like the most Swedish one, if maybe not a "Pucko" drink and a "Tunnbrödrulle" which is like a bread with mashed potatoes, hotdogs or sausages or what have you, and some salads and shrimp salad (räksallad) ketchup and mustard. Mashed potatoes with hot dogs are probably the most Swedishiest of them all.

      Oh no, these are eaten all the time. The tunnbrödrulle and the other one is kind of hard to come by these day I've noticed myself. Most people make it at home instead I suppose. The fries and hotdog dish is one that was much more common in the 70's and 80's, around the time "kebab" came to the scene. The typical swede prefer a hotdog or such if nothing else is available, these days it's common to come by places that also sell kebabs and hamburgers etc. @@DoesntPayFullPrice

    For reindeer burgers, you have to travel to northern Finland - not as many options for sauce and spices, but the quality is superb. But back to Swedish fast food: If you enjoyed those burgers, you really should try something from "Sibylla". If you find a well established Sibylla fast food restaurant, they will have some of the best burgers available. Next step would be any of the proper restaurant burgers (the ones without drive-in) from "Bastard Burgers", "Tugg Burgers", "Phil's" etc - usually smaller franchises.

    You guys really missed out on the Green Garlic dip, it’s epic. And another great thing about Max it’s that they actually sell their dressings, dips and buns in regular supermarkets, so you can make your own patty with their dressing - there are however better Swedish franchises than Max.
    However the iconic quintessential burger ever must be the El Maco. A burger with “Tex-mex” flavors and fries with a special seasoning. Don’t know if you heard about “fredagsmys” when the majority of Swedes have a sort of tacos o Friday evenings. Tho it’s nothing like tacos… it’s hard cornbreads or soft tortillas, with mince beef with a special seasoning, salsa (yeah right), and veggies. Pretty nice and actually delicious but really not more taco than a roasted corn on a cob…
