- Is IKEA in Sweden different than IKEA in the USA? We visited IKEA in the homeland to find out!
Who are Katie & Andrew?
Katie grew up in a small town on the coast of Washington State (think Twilight country), and Andrew grew up in San Diego, CA. We met when we were both interns working at Disneyland and have been inseparable ever since.
After getting married in 2015 we decided we wanted to dedicate our lives to adventure and fun!
We have traveled to 31 states, 9 countries (so far), and have visited Disney theme parks probably over 500 times in the last 12 years. We are always looking for the next venture, because as we like to say, "you can make even the simplest things like going to the grocery store fun."
When we are not filming or traveling you can probably find us making pancakes or traversing whatever city we are in to see all of the local movie/tv filming locations in person!
"right across the river" - it is actually a part of the atlantic and not a river....
Yees .. ☹🙁😕🤔😳😱😭😰👿
8:18 that is used for making berry juice. also I like the fact that you love the horses, they are originally from the county Dalarna in Sweden where I'm from.
DALAHÄSTAR!!!
Yeah not sure about where they got the Scandihorse. It is from Sweden and Dalarna.
You guys need to go to Nusnäs in Dalarna to find the real "Scandi horses" or Dala horses as they are called by us. That's were there from originally. And you can see them being made and painted.
YES!!! And they are not even painted 😄
@@NikesZ28 I think the idea is for you to paint them yourself.
But I agree that it's strange to call it Scandi horses when it's a very local item.
It's like calling a ILNYC T-shirt a North American style T-shirt.
0:31 That's not a river, it's a strait!
1:02 You do have the American version of the IKEA restaurant. Just like all the other countries' IKEA. It's quite fun to check the different IKEA menus in different countries. Like in Spain they have paella, in the UK they have biryani and mac&cheese, and breakfast with sausages and beans and stuff, in South Korea they have Bulgogi fried rice, in China they have sichuan style chicken spicy beef rolls, and kung pao chicken, in the US you have mac&cheese, breakfast plates with waffles and bacon etc, so all IKEA menus are adapted to the local cuisine, but with a few Swedish dishes on the menus, like the meatballs.
1:24 These family parking places exist at most bigger parking lots, not just IKEA, in Sweden. Isn't that common in the US too?
3:47 Their "Nytillverkad" line ("Newly manufactuered") are like favorite items from the past, they started making items that they used to have earlier. I bet that bright yellow sofa was popular in the 80s for instance.
9:33 Shoe horns is very important to us, since most of us take our shoes off when entering, and on when leaving of course, so a shoehorn helps a lot, and a long one is good for the elderly, or if you have a back pain or something.
10:59 Rye bread is very common in Scandinavia. Like open faced sandwiches with this shrimp sallad, or other things. Or just with some cheese for breakfast.
If you like the "skagenröra", it's very easy to make at home, just mix some pealed shrimps, with some mayo (I prefer 50/50 on mayo/creme fraiche), roe, dill (lots of it!), lemon and some salt and pepper. I like to add some chopped red onion too, but that's just a preference.
It's great on toast (I prefer rye, but wheat is fine too), on a avocado, on baked potatoes), or served in a glass like a starter.
_"So all IKEA menus are adapted to the local cuisine"_ Never heard of that before.
Must have happened after Kamprad's death (along with going woke and no cash allowed).
Next step is perhaps having product names in English... :((
Hello from Denmark Nice Videos just subscribed 😉 og hej vore naboer i Sverige Dk Se
Thank you for watching!
Hej hej, granne! :)
@@AlexKall Hej Hej Nabo ;)
Yoou were eating a seafood salad and rye bread
is a special shrimp salad from Skagen. so to 99% served on toast.
Americans not being able to tell the difference between tuna and shrimp. Oh dear me!
Love how you Americans often are so positive and enthusiastic. Welcome to Sweden Ihope you have/had a nice stay! 😊
If you're really in to Ikea, you should have gone to the one in Stockholm. It's way larger than the one in Malmö
Very fun and entertaining.
In addition, you make me see myself as a Swede in a different way.
Not bad.
Many thanks.
So, IKEA in Malmö you first stop in Sweden 🇸🇪 … kinda cool … ;-)
you will appreciate the long shoe horn as you get older. thought you would try the meatballs and see if they taste the same as in the US.
Yeah, the long shoehorns are common here in Sweden.
I have no clue why you say Eyekea in Ammerica.
It's the same I as in Katie, visit and so on, it's not Amereyecans.
Just details, but why?
Yes why!?
Guess if you want to explain it to an american you would write it as Eekea, maybe.
Learn to pronounse IKEA: his name was Ingvar Kamprad. EA stand for where he was born. Can you say INGVAR? I!!! NOT ajKEA !!
First time a women left IKEA with only 2 purchased items...
Hi disKover with Katie and Andrew !
8:18 Bottle with strainer and closing cap is for making blueberry juice, lingonberry juice and elderberry juice and so on.
Skål Tom ☕😄
5:04 Whaaaaaaat?! They go to ikea just to WALK AROUND? WTF?!!
Man, i really don't understand this whole thing with IKEA... Oh well - different strokes for different folks, i guess 😂
I walked and took the bus and subway/metro when I lived in central Stockholm. But I mostly bought batteries and lunch.
Oh, you found the not politically correct pastry.
The classic name have an N in it...
Scandihorse is too broad, specific to the landscape and county of dalarna but sure they are a thing in most of the nordics. They are good luck or whatever... dalarna is my rival county so most here do not buy things with those symbols. Here we have the burning straw-goat which many belive is good luck aswell when it burns that is, which is illegal. We are also famous for a boy nicknamed gävlepojken(town name+boy) who went on tour and pointed out witches to burn and drown to the locals. We are the evil neighbour of dalarna I guess... hehe
Greetings from Gävle, Gävleborg.
I enjoyed your video. Welcome to Sverige.
the bottel is for strain juices lik berry juices to get rid of peel ans seeds
Fun and interesting.
@0:30 The river? Wth? Americans....
Do you have to rub it in?
You're a lovely couple!
Typically ignorant American couple rather.
Yes i´m Swedish.I liked your video alot,thank you.The Scandi Horse is the original Tourist trinket probably originate from the introduction of railways in Sweden in the late 1800´s.
These horses are still crafted from Wood and handpainted in different colourmarkings.They are available to buy in the US,(N.Y,L.A,New Orleans,Chicago,Pittsburg ,Seattle etc.OH),.-The water between Malmo ,(Sweden)and Denmark is actually part of the Atlantic Ocean called the Oresund,-NOT a RIVER !!!.Lots of mysterious Russian ships passing there now.
Love your positive spirit. Welcome to Sweden.
Now try to pronounce the name correctly for once - it is NOT "eye-kee-ah". The name is projnounced "ee-he-ah". Got it?
??? I am hoping you made a typo 🙂
