- Lisa has been having some Swedish food cravings lately and some of her absolute favorite things to eat in Sweden can't be found in America. Out list of cultural differences is always growing so for this edition of Sweden vs. America, here is a list of 10 popular Swedish foods that are almost possible to find in stores in the United States.

I've been living in Sweden for 3 months now, and I already am dependant on most of those things! I don't understand lingonberry jam and salted licorice, but OMG. Kalles kaviar is incredible.
Alice Babb use lingonberry on meatballs, meatloaf, fried herring, pork belly. Or just from the can with a spoon. Maybe with a salty licorice 🤤
Lingonberry with meatballs, ”brunsås” and mashed potatoes is the best thing!
Lingonberry jam on crushed knäckebröd (crispbread?) in milk is supposed to be super good (according to my dad, at least).
I think Lingonberry jam is overhyped, but it's a must if you're ever eating Palt (a traditionally meat-filled potato-dumpling, what). Along with butter, and in my opinion, golden syrup.
Try lingonberry jam in a glass of milk..
Lingonsylt är lika beroendeframkallande som heroin... Typ. Nästan. Älskar det. Lingonsylt alltså.
O inlagda saker.
Viktoria Backéus lingonsylt finns i andra länder med
@@zeffe0528 har någon påstått att det inte gör det? Lingon växer vilt i Nord Amerika också för den delen. Fast under andra namn.
Viktoria Backéus det är så sant
Har du testat Hjortron sylt?
I just learned that halloumi was cheese this month. I always thought it was tofu! I said to my bf "it's cheese?! You know I love cheese, why didn't you tell me?! All those times we went to Max I could've gotten that!" and he said "how I am supposed to know you don't have that in America!"
Speaking of cheese, one thing I always bring back with me is Västerbottensost. It's the best and it's banned in America because of the nitrate content. 😕
Jag bodde utomlands i 6 år och det jag saknade var fan prästost
lol
Prästost är så jävla gott! Om man säger att man inte gillar det då FAN!
Jag saknar alltid Arlas Grevéost
Det värsta som kan hända!
Du har gjort ditt val 😂
Fil och gräddfil.......salt lakrits är typ det konstigaste ever att de inte fattat "over there";)) Jag saknade svenska chips också.......tycker lätt Sverige har världens bästa chips....
Gräddfil har de i USA. Sourcream.
Men ja! Finns inga bättre chips än i Sverige. Så konstiga smaker utomlands och så små påsar!
TOTORO ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Alla andra länder är U-länder när ser kommer till chips.
I Ryssland säljer Estrella chips med lax smak. Men krabbchipsen jag hittade i Kazakstan var faan ta mig äckligare.
Det finns Doritos fast det är de ända, Estrella är de bästa!!
Loved this video! Especially the salty liquorice part haha. The “sill” Lisa is missing is not fermented though I guess. Then it will be surströmming 😂
Can’t wait for the video when it’s the other way around. Cheers guys!
Most of your videos are very interesting to watch.Useful and talented.Thank you.Excellent week end from Dordogne France
You too are amazing. I learn a lot of things from your videos in the most entertaining way possible
You are making me miss all of these things! I’m literally making my partner take a trip from Vancouver to Toronto, Canada because I found one bakery that make traditional semla, kladdkaka och kanelbullar.
Amanda Glasel Was it good?
I have been living abroad twice so I know how it is to miss Kalles kaviar.
I love you two ladies and enjoy your videos very much. Stort tack.
Sjukt roligt som svensk att se det här klippet! Kram på er!
My mom is a swede living in Canada and my Mormor literally mails her all of these things, plus Swedish magazines. I love salty hard licorice and the shrimp cream cheese spread, but not the pickled herring....ew haha. Great video! 🇨🇦
Hahahaha that's amazing. What a great Mormor!
How do English-talking people know on wich the grandma/grandpa is? In Sweden it is two different names for them
@@Klara.H if you have to make a distinction you use maternal (mormor/ morfar) or paternal (farmor/ farfar) grandparents. Or you can say " my grandparents on my mothers/ fathers side.
shrimp cream cheese spread is the best thing that have ever happend
You forgot surströmming.
Hi those are awesone n everything else don't know but good to know n YALL ARE SO BEAUTIFUL N THANKS FOR THE VLOGS!
I lived in the UK for 7 years but luckily there were a couple of Swedish /Scandinavian shops around. I always missed proper smoked ham, kaviar and salty liquorice - yup all the salty stuff😊
Agree totally. I am Norwegian/ Canadian and thank goodness we have a Viking Foods store in Toronto with Scandi imported foods🇸🇪🇳🇴
I think black liquorice is an european thing. Or at least nordic. Don't see anyone from utside Europe liking that. My swedish favorites are Risifrutti manna, kladdkaka, gifflar and lussebullar. Greetings from a norwegian who travels to Sweden 3-4 times a year to stock up on food, drinks and candy
I think salmiak flavored liquorice is a Scandinavian thing, and partly north European. ;)
Many people from northern Germany, Holland and Belgium like it too. The ordinary sweet liquorice, without salmiak, is liked by the Engländers as well (such as All Sorts, etc.)
It’s a Finnish/Swedish thing. But I dislike it 😂
@@Robman92 If it was, they wouldn't have it in northern Germany, Holland and Belgium. It did not originate in Finland (despite claims from certain nationalistic finns).
Herr Friberger uh, I thought it came from Finland or atleast that it’s most popular there. My mistake then : p
Yes, probably most popular there, that part is true. :)
AAAAA i live in Louisiana, USA and i went to sweden for the first time in July! I absolutely fell in LOVE with KEX Choklad!!!! Also, we eat crawfish religiously here!
You can get Halloumi in most grocery stores! I even used to buy it in a grocery store in Juneau Alaska. I live in LA now, and it is everywhere here, including in dishes in many restaurants! Most Mediterranean restaurants have a dish with it for sure! I’m also a Swede who loves halloumi!! (And kalles kaviar and salty black licorice)
We can't find it anywhere except specialty stores and then it's like 10 bucks for a tiny little piece.
@@ThisColorfulWorld Have bought both Halloumi and Lingonberry sauce in Whole Foods before. But stocking often varies by store to some degree, and Amazon's acquisition could have changed business-wide priorities for some less popular items
Yes it’s definitely expensive!!
I've been to Sweden twice. I'm glad you mentioned risifrutti. We have milky Rice here in Spain, but not with Jam.
Louisiana Land of Crayfish The expression there is, snap it, pull it, suck it , lingam berry aka cowberry or fox berry These plants thrive from Massachusetts to Alaska, Can't help with the rest.
I have a feeling these two wouldn't go for lingam berry.
@@fordhouse8b lol ok I misspelled it lingon berries aka cowberry or fox berry
Yeah, but Louisiana crayfish aren't cooked the same. Can't compare.
Lingam berries are what men carry around always.
Omg I understand you so much! When I lived in Spain (even if it only was for 5 months) I missed Kalles on hardboiled eggs so freaking mutch!!!!
watching this and eating semeltårta is the best thing you can do after school!
Pretty awesome video. Thanks!
I've found a few of these in the US through Ikea, European Food Stores and by Ordering Online.
Looove both. Also that food 💐💐😍😍😜😜not all but some Vielen Danke herzliche Grüsse aus ecuador
Vilken rolig video!!❤️❤️😋😋
så härligt att se era videos
Many of them are available in Minneapolis, MN! We have a shop called Ingebretsen's Gifts and Foods. All of our grocery stores have pickled herring, and many of them have halloumi.
You might know this by now since I’m watching this video so late after it was published but IKEAs in the US (at least in Dallas) have Kalles, lingonberry jam, and many Swedish candies my Swedish boyfriend is obsessed with! So if you’re craving it you might try there☺️
I'm from the UK and we eat pickled herring here, but we actually call it a roll mop, and I love it! Salted liquorice sounds ghastly though, but I bet my Mum would love it lol
I looove pickled herring! So yummy... my boyfriend's family have it with their Norwegian Christmas Eve meal
I am a half swedish, half mexican, living in México. And I misssssssss all the things you said!!!! My mouth is watering!!!!!
Describe Lisa with one movement: *pickle dance*!!! 😂😂👌
media.giphy.com/media/p4sSE2QcDWvMAtvmQe/giphy.gif You're welcome! HAHA
@@ThisColorfulWorld omg yeees 😂👍
If you’re in Los Angeles you should check out Olson’s Deli. They make fresh semla on weekends and have other tasty Scandinavian dishes on their menu. They also have candies, breads and other Swedish goods to buy. :)
Love you guys!! :D :D
Love you too!
While living and studying in Japan for a year, one of the things I found I REALLY missed was Gräddfil....
Just came across your video really like it now going to watch your other ones hope you get to do video of what Lauren Misses when your in Sweden
yeas!! I think they said at the end of the video that one is coming up soon =) xoxoxox
Nando a southafrican burger joint/chain has it. They have some resturants on the us east cost.
The pickeled hering and kalles kaviar you can get in Ikea in the usa ( in their food section )
also lingonberry Jam.
You have such nice videos, thanks for making them! I'm a Finn and all that stuff is very popular here as well, apart from the saffron ice cream. There's a lot of similarities in our cultures, and not just when it comes to food but a bit of everything. :)
The swedish pronunciation in the beginning is great! :D
It's just a matter of time before this is a Huuuge channel!
We have semla in Italy too... in fact in Boston we have a neighborhood called North End is very Italian. They have it there all year long
Hilarious, fresh, super cute, Lauren speaking Swedish - precious, Lis smiling nonstop & explaining it all in such an adorable way! Poor Button with these salty liquorish candies hahaha I relate to most of the food, Europe is Europe, but fish out of a tube is too much hehe. Love you, sweethearts 😘🙏😂
Crayfish/crawfish...go to Louisiana. Pickled herring /Solomon Grundy... Nova Scotia🇨🇦. Halummi is available in Lebanese markets here and even in some speciality food stores.
Hahahah Fish in a tube. Dying.
Smoked fish in a tube, try anchovy paste (in a tube). Lauren, you may, however, have to sleep on the sofa. Also any Greek food shop will have halummi (sp.).
unfortunately, we don't really have greek food shops around these parts.
@Antoniya It's not really fish in a tube, it's fish roe in a tube
Wow, you two are soo cute!! It's a great joy to listen to you two. Good luck in the future!! Hugs!!
You need to come to Illinois we have all those things !
how come? you got lots of finnish or scandinavian people there?
Exactly what I was about to comment
Love black salty licorice, now I need to try the Swedish kind, need a brand to search for :)
Defenetly miss kladkaka-frozen cakes.And Marabou chocolate with peanut caramel 👍🏻😁 I tasted caviar and it was soo salty.Wasnt bad but too salty 😂
I love the beginning 😂
Hahahahahah I freeze under linguistic pressure! -Lauren
You can see the wheels turning in my head.
This Colorful World ....MAT 😂 your pronunciation is really really good though!
Senapssill!!
Skulle nog ta med mig 100 kg. Överblivna kokta potatisar från igår med senapssill på mackan! Jag dräglar när jag skriver...
Funkar med kaviar också.
Eller sill på kokt ägg. Ahh..
Ja - allihop typiskt danskt
Omg I miss Kalles kaviar so much 😩😩 especially with egg for breakfast!!
lingonberry are available in eastern Canada (Newfoundland), but are called Partridge berries.
Scott Carter Lingonberry..😂
Haloumi is awesome. Ate it all the time when I was in Cyprus.
I always stock up on Kalles at IKEA! Even if the cafeteria food is subpar, they still have Lordagsgodis, lingonberry, pickled herring same as in Sweden! (:
I know they eat a lot of crayfish in the southern states, perhaps you can find a local Southern style restaurant that serves crayfish and ask them where they get theirs. Sometimes it's not there but I usually see linden berry jam in the jam section of Safeway. Since it's impossible to find fresh or even frozen linden berries what I will do is pour the linden berry jam over some frozen cranberries sprinkled with sugar, sometimes with orange rind and a shot of some type of effervescence, and smash it up with the back of a fork. It's the next best thing to fresh linden berry jam.
Good video! :) :)
Hi! I live in Los angeles and most of these things are available!! Hallumi cheese is in whole foods and omggg if you want an amaazing zaffron icecream you have you MUST try saffron and rose on westwood blvd.
Saffron ice cream is Persian and its easily found in LA
Love the video! But, we can get pickled herring here. The brand we see most often is "Vita". Is it different from Swedish pickled herring?
OMG. I am Swedish. When I was in USA for eight months the thing I missed most of all was coffee! Especially Gevalia. Even when my family sent me coffee, it never tasted the same. I also missed our thin awesome pizza and of course Swedish meatballs and Swedish butter, like Flora! But most of all my family :)
Saltlakrits is the best thing ever, my partner hates it as well so at least I get to have it for myself! (It is always fun to trick him into tasting a new kind of licorice though lol)
I'm surprised Halloumi hasn't made it to the states when I've been visiting I'm always looking for it and is always so surprised when I can't find it it is a really great substitute for meat.
Also something I miss when I go to the states is swedish pizza (it is really a distinct kind of pizza) and kebabtallrik, I love my fast food
I love that so many couple are like this! haha, Half lOVES things like salty licorice and smoked fish roe, and the other half are absolutely grossed out. My partner and I are the same
Lauren’s Swedish pronunciation is so insanely good! I wish I could pull it off, too, but no. I lived in Växjö for five months in 2007 and Göteborg for two months in 2008 but the accent, if you will, didn’t stick at all. I might not sound mega Finnish when I (try to) speak Swedish but I definitely don’t sound anything like Lauren, either. PS: SEMLOR 😍! DJUNGELVRÅL 😍!
As a Dane..
I'm willing to forgive past grudges ..
Love our cuisines, (my family have a HUGE hunting area up in Sweden, so spend a lot of time there.. And yes, Lingonberry and Salt licorice are a staple.. (both can keep their pickled herring tho..
I'm from Seattle Washington. In a town called Ballard there is a grocery store called scandanavian specialities. You can find them online
Not sure what exactly they ship and they are often out of stock because they are so popular, but you can get a lot of good food. They have pickled Herring, salty licorice, real swedish fish, kex bars and all kinds of godis. They also have swedish coffee, fisksoppa, fiskbullar, lingonberries and lingonberry jam, knäkebröd etc. You should check them out.
I am surprised you can’t find lingonberries and pickled herring. Both are easy to find in New England. I have a Norwegian background but the pickled herring is not just Scandinavian. The last time I bought some the woman at the check out was so psyched to see it and she was English/Irish background and it reminded her of her grandfather. What I get is from Maine. I usually get imported Lingonberries (hard to get Norwegian so I have to settle for Swedish ha ha ) but I think they grow it some in Wisconsin and Minnesota. When I was a kid it was harder to find cardamom in the pod for baking, but with a larger southeast Asian population in my area it can be found in most grocery stores now.
I remember watching a documentary on a famous swedish hockey player (believe it was Markus Näslund) and in his garage he had a fridge filled with Fjällbrynt messmör xD. I don't eat it myself but that's probably the most swedish thing i've seen on television
Y'all! Time for a road trip down South to get your crawfish fixin'. :D
I happen to have a half finished bag of nappar, an unopened bag of djungelvrål, and I just finished eating two two sunny side up eggs on toast, topped with some Kalles Kaviar. Only about a third of a tube left from my last resupply, so I guess I'll be going through withdrawal soon enough ☹️.
I'm Swedish that food is very normal here:)love the video!
Just found this video. My mother was born in Sweden and I spent a lot of time there as a kid so I know most of these. Mama used to love mesmor, no clue if that is still a thing. And I can't do proper vowels but I miss a good honokaka.
I would love to hear what the best salty licorice from Sweden is. Can I order it?
Currently have spent 4 months away from Denmark in the US and my salt liqourice cravings are crazy!!! Also really miss danish rye-bread - I'm gonna have the people who picks me up at the airport when I go home in 1 month bring me "Smørrebrød" (Open faced sandwich)
im swedish and i lived in socal for 4 years and had no problem finding most of these sure it might me a bit more difficult but you can find it. and for the things you cant find you could easily get the ingredients to find.. don't be discouraged yall. sil, and kalles kaviar is available at ikea then theres a specific candy store in La with a bunch of swedish candy called Sockerbit.
Greeting from Turku Finland.
This is kind of funny. I am a finn who speaks also swedish and works at the ferry between Stockholm and Turku (Åbo).
I really love all those 10 swedish foods and we can get each of it from finland too. Eventhought these might be swedish not finnish.
Inform if you are coming to this side of the world soon again!
We really enjoy Turku! A very underrated city.
Är det inte två k i Turku. Som i Turkku. Jag är ju svensk, så vet ju inte. Men är du från Åbo borde veta :)
Jag har trott att det är två k. Kanske för att många ord stavas med kk i Finland.
@@claesblom De är bara med ett K. Men vi brukar ju använda ganska mycket också Åbo här :)
@@ThisColorfulWorld Thank you ! Och ni är så vackra människa ❤
@@claesblom vet du att namnet har bara ett k men sen i genativ formen försvinner det! Turun Satama betyder Åbos hamn
We have almost all of these in norway too :3
We have pickled herring in Southern California some places. I don't know if it is exactly like the Swedish version.
Dont they have them in ikea?
@@Mr_Seppo I understand they do, but I have bought pickled herring in the grocery store. I have seen it at smorgasbords sometimes as well. I haven't looked for it lately.
There is a porridge made of lingonberry and semolina (I guess). I svensk mannagryn. Sugar in the mix. Sour and salty candies are also my favorites. Though you didn't ask from Finnish people. Kalles is absolutely good. Of Swedish food I've also tried surtsrömming. Sour herring. Not my cup of tea. Or herring in this instance.
Also. I like to make my own meatballs. Everything in any store is just second best.
Well, not swedish, but norwegian! When I was in the states I missed bread. And knekkebrød. And all the different things we put on bread. It was also oh so very sad to celebrate christmas without my norwegian traditions! On new years I actually went to an IKEA and found knekkebrød, so I went to the grocery store, found Jarlsberg (Norwegian cheese) and bell peppers, so on new years I ate knekkebrød with cheese and bellpeppers, lol :P
When I was in america ( Texas) for three weeks back in 2011, the one thing I missed the most was a-fil. A-fil med bananer i, sååå gott!
Bästa videon !!
oh, I have kalles kaviar upstairs, gonna go get some with o'boy now
Asså semlor! Älskar semlor ❤️❤️. Längtar så mycket 😘😘😘😭.
Är ju så enkelt att göra egna.
Maybe someone already said this but you can order Kalles from Amazon. I hear Whole foods and oddly Walmart may have it too. I'm almost out of my tube so need to get more very soon. I love this stuff, I think Americans if given a try would love it too.
Jeg elsker de spøkelse salt snopet! Favoritten her i hus sammen med masse annet salt snop🙌🏽 Så heldig jeg bor i Norge så det meste fra Sverige er ganske likt her
Vad är snopet på svenska?
I am intrigued by the Kalles caviar. Excuse my ignorance but because it's fish roe does it taste/look similar to taramasalata? I know could eat that stuff all day. Can any Swedish person or anyone that's tasted it please tell me.
Abroad I sometimes miss "Budapest bakelse", which is a totally Swedish thing. I once tried to find it in Budapest itself, bud nobody had aclue.
Svensk potatis, svenskt knäckebröd, lingon, svenska havregryn. Swedish potatoes, Swedish crisp bread, picking lingon berries and Swedish rolled oats. And Czech beer and Swedish snaps! That's what I miss if I'm in the States for an extended time! Comfort food in general, without added sugar ;)
Lol, that was awesome.... and now i'm hungry, mwuah!
a cold boiled potato sliced in about 5mm in between, then drowled in kalles on a good piece of bread, you are into a real swedish treat early in the morning!😀 yummy yummy its beyond belive in taste with a good serious cup of swedish coffey
try cranberry sauce, its not a perfect substitute for lingonsylt but pretty close. Had the same problem when I moved to England (from sweden)
could not agree more about meatballs. I am American and have been to Sweden many times, actually was adopted by a Swedish family when I was about 45 years old lol. Had meatballs at my friends/families house in Svenljunga while playing cards(ploomp) later on that trip I had meatballs in Stockholm at an expensive restraunt......home made ones killed the one in Gamla Stan by a mile!
Jätte kul video
Älskar er kanal!🇸🇪🇺🇸
You can definitely get crawfish in the State. They are huge down south especially in Louisiana🦐 and you can find frozen in the grocery stores
I agree with every single one of these. Living in Cambridge I can order some of it from Occado or go to the Scandi kitchen in London but the prices to get these items abroad is just not sustainable:P
I just have to say.. reading the captions for this video with no sound is both confusing and hilarious!
Hahaha oh man, we try to keep up with the captions but sometimes a video slips by with just the auto- generated ones. Always hilarious
The "Semla" is traditionally eaten on the Tuesday before the beginning of lent. Nowadays you can find and eat them any time of the year.
Saltlakris är det bästa som finns! Häxvrål i mitt hjärta😍😍😂
You can get knäckebröd(crispbread), inlagd sill (pickled herring), kalles kaviar (roe paste), djungelvrål etc from amazon.com
I miss these foods so muchhh I haven't had them since last year :(
Ikea sells Scan meatballs, and all grocery stores sell the ingredients to cook them. They sell crawfish all over America in resturants & in grocery stores, fresh and frozen. Yes, while lingon jam is hard to find, cranberry sauce isn't. Cranberry sauce is basically cranberry jam, used in the same way, with the same taste, just using a different berry. They're almost identical. They sell Kalles caviar on Amazon. Just have that delivered, np. Hope that helps you feel a bit more at home while in the states.
Hej hej. I like your movies a lot! Thanks and keep making them please!
One small remark though, the Dutch liqorice which you get in most foreign countries is absolutely terrible, it is like saying swedish meatballs aren't great because I have eaten them at Ikea. (i know how good Swedish meatballs are, I am a big Sweden fan and had them from a local person in Sweden). I would even dare to say that you might like good Dutch liquorice as much as the Swedish ones or even more.
I love most Swedish food a lot aswell and I miss those fresh kanelbullar, lingonsylt is great on food I would not even had imagined before coming to Sweden. Ficka is the best way to spent your afternoon!
Something I find weird is taste differs from countries with a brand. I mean Dutch cheese brands in other countries taste terrible, while they taste great here. So for example you guys have a lot of "Gouda" cheese, even saying on the package it is "Svensk Ost", but Gouda is a city in The Netherlands where the cheese brand is from. It tastes good here, but I have tried many different packages in Sweden and I wondered how you can get that stuff through your mouth, it is bad, taste like plastics, not the full creamy and ripen taste it is supposed to have.
Which makes me wonder, why is that? Why do brands taste way better in the country they are originally from? Maybe something for a new video?
Crayfish are a big thing in the south, I was shocked to find anyone anywhere ate them because I grew up in the north in a big city and they were sold as pets in pet stores hahaha. So go to some place like Louisiana and you'll find places serving it all over. I was raised eating pickled herring and never knew it was a Swedish thing until I met my boyfriend and he was stunned to learn an American ate it haha. I've always eaten fish eggs, but never in paste form.
