      OLW and Estrella are the two leading crisp/snack companies in Sweden and they are both very common. The dips are commonly eaten with crisps or vegetables on friday or saturday night. When it comes to my favourite dip, it's without a doubt Hot Holiday

    Estrella currently has its home in my hometown, Gothenburg.
    The brand was founded as early as 1946… With the import of bananas.
    At that time, Folke Andersson was a true entrepreneur who could do business with most things. Juicer, caravans and much more were in his shop. But before the snack production started, it was mainly bananas that Folke was dealing with! He imported bananas from South America, and even today there is a football stadium named after him in Ecuador. Imports from South America are also what influenced the company name "Estrella" - which means "Star" in Spanish.
    In 1957, Folke Andersson tasted potato chips for the first time, during a boxing match in New York. It was the tastiest he's ever eaten. Folke decided to start making potato chips at home in Sweden.
    This makes Estrella the first company in Sweden to manufactor chips

    OLW is short for Old London Wasa. Wasa from the company Wasabröd (Wasabread) that makes hard bread "knäckebröd". And Old London was the name of an american company's (Borden Foods) factory in New York. Wasa wanted to make snacks and made a deal with Borden Foods and created Cheez Doodles. They were only allowed to use the name Old London Wasa for a limited amount of years. So when the contract was over they just changed it to OLW.

    According to the Estrella site:
    "Ranch" in USA vs. Sweden
    Ranch taste in USA is often something different than in Sweden. In Sweden, Ranch often refers to a flavor combination of tomato, onion, herbs, pepper and cheese. In USA, classic Ranch is a combo of i.a. onions, garlic, herbs, spices and mustard!

    Dill is an important herb in Sweden. It flavors mainly fish dishes, but also salads, snacks and snaps. The good thing is you can't overdose on dill. It has a maximum level flavor that doesn't increase if you add to it. And you want quite a bit of it. It's not pungent or overpowering in the least. Try fresh dill and caraway in your boiled potatoes. Let the caraway cook along the potatoes and add fresh dill in the last minutes of cooking. Stalks can cook along, the fine plumes are added last for decoration and more flavor. Sprinkle some salt and you're good to go. Goes well with any type of fish or red meat. If you can't find fresh dill, dried works almost as good.
    Oh, and we don't pronounce Estrella in Spanish. It's "es-TRE-la".

    Edit: oh yeah, holiday! Don´t know if it means anything special. We use the word "semester" for vacation-holiday and "högtid" for like chistmas-holiday. They probs just put holiday on there to make it sound americanized, since chip and dip is american rather than swedish. Like "fresh island" too is just to make it sound american, and ranch is just ripped right from o.g. ranch from the u.s. ;D

    Nacho Cheese is my absolute favorite from OLW. You should try that one! It really stands out from the others since they usally use garlic, pepper and stuff like that in most dips which makes most dips taste a little bit the same. No dip is tasting like Nacho Cheese since it doesn't use those common ingridients that most dips use. The cheese taste is soooo good! .. ;)

    Holiday is a very bad translation from the swedish word "helg", which means both "holiday" and "weekend". Potato chips are a traditional weekend snack in Sweden. The dip should be called "Weekend".

      @Jäs Please Exactly, thank you. Holiday, like you have the weekend off from work. We have that Holiday dip here in Norway too, and it's one of my top favourites. And I also like the Ranch one, but unfortunately, we can't get that here. But Holiday goes with almost any chips, because the flavor isn't owerpowering. And I agree with Nathan and Hailey, the dill/gräslök one probably would be good with some nice fried fish. And they're right, gräslök is chives in english. It translates from swedish to something like "Grass onion", as it looks like grass straws, but has that onion like taste to it.

We have them in Norway too, but it's under a different brand name called Maarud, but the packaging is the same and the same parent company. Same with the chips.

    In my experience, OLW and Estrella are about as common in the North of Sweden at least. Any mid-sized supermarket I can think of usually has two stands or some other space where they can display every available flavor for either brand but they usually don't put them next to each other. For instance, one brand on each end of the snacks-section or sometimes next to the sour-cream.
    Personally, my favorite is probably Holiday, it tastes great dipping cucumber sticks, baby carrots, or bell pepper wedges too
    Edit: I wrote this prior to watching the entire video so I hadn't seen you do the cucumbers :)

  • @jayamilapersson4030
    @jayamilapersson4030 3 роки тому

    Holiday taste is Bellpeppers and onions that are the big flavours,
    Dill and chives( the green pack) is my favourite, and I use it for the crisps with the same flavour.
    The fresh island is similar to Rhode island dressing so thats probably why it goes well with vegetables.
    And ranch is ranch but I think the colour comes from tomato powder.
    And all of them is 4 of the most popular dips here. And yes you can mix them with naturall yoghurt to make sauses with less fat and they are good to eat with Other foods like grilled meat, but you have it like on the side you dont marinate the meat with it. Dill and chives, and holiday is also good to mix into unsalted butter to just put some on fish or meat right before eating. I also sometimes use holiday even I want a better/ intense taste of bellpepper in some recepies.

Don't really have a favorite dip but if I have to choose one it would be the 3xLök(3XOnion). It's a dip with red onion, garlic, yellow onion, and ramsons(wild garlic?).

    We Swedes say "chips". Most of us speak more of an American English.
    Swedes are very health conscious. A big thing in snacks the last couple of years, are chips and cheese doodles made of lentils. 40% less fat, vegan, gluten free and full of protein.
    It´s cheaper and almost as easy to make your own dip with sour cream. Just ad salt and your choices of dried spices and a pinch of sugar. I usually put in some finely chopped onion.
    A surprise and almost a life hack, is to dip Salt & Vinegar chips in plain sour cream. It will blow your mind. ;)
