14:32 that is not a Swedish cheesecake. Swedish cheese cake is a type of cottage cheese with ground almonds and you can take one bitter almond to get the classic taste. which is baked in the oven until it turns golden brown. served warm with whipped cream and strawberry jam or another good jam.
Very nice video, but Wolter and his fellow travelers still has a lot to learn. Swedish edibles foreigners really should discover: Seafood (except salmon and shrimps)! Try havskräftor/Norway lobsters/Dublin Bay prawns, Krabba/brown crab and Swedish oysters - and please get to know our ways of preparing cod, halibut, turbot, sole and many other kinds of fish. Costly, yes, but it will be worth the expense. Scandinavian seafood is, simply put, unparalleled. Other hearty, traditional dishes than meatballs! Try kåldolmar/kålpudding, kroppkakor, stångkorv/isterband (served with skånsk potatis if you're lucky), biff à la Lindström, wallenbergare, ärtsoppa och pannkakor, stekt fläsk med löksås, stekt fläsk och raggmunkar, järpar, slottsstek, pannbiff med lök and dillkött, just to mention a few classic everyday dishes everyone in my country loves. Game! Try deer, moose (American English)/elk (British English), reindeer (yes, we eat Rudolph), hare, bear and wild boar. And don't forget to try kebab pizza!
Korv Stroganoff is a staple in many Swedish homes as well. I also love Fiskpudding with kokt potatis and skirat smör but that might not be as common. (Fishpudding with boiled potatoes and clarified butter?)
Bit of a reference: Swedish military had pea soup with pancakes for dessert for ages on thursdays, so even today many restaurants have this on Thursdays. It’s great.
Yep, I was just going to mention the seasons. Nypotatis (freshly harvested small potatoes in late spring, just cooked, served with some salt and butter), the crayfish is already mentioned (late august/early september), chantarelles (in my opion best served on a toast, simply fried with salt and butter) in late summer/early autumn, sill (herring) and lax (salmon) used to be more for the big holidays, but is now more widespread. If you are lucky and know a hunter, you can perhaps get moose and deer (I love roedeer) in the autumn. If you get it, DON´T miss the gravy! I grew up with hunters around me, and we kids always came to the moment where we asked our grandmother if it was ok to mush the cooked potatoes with the gravy... :D ...she always said yes, but we had to ask first.
Lutefisk is a traditional thing that i would say only the elder generation eats around Christmass. But i will say that surströmming (stinky fish) is something you really eat in Sweden but only in the very northen part of Sweden! If you sre in Sweden then a must is Kladdkaka and Semla!
Yea! Lutfisk is for the elder generation, by grandma used to love that shit, i have never given either lutfisk or surströmming a try, the julskinka, revben, and all the other thing we use to have on christmas is more than enouth for me.
@@paulozavala3232 I love both surströmming and lutfisk. Fermented and dry fish. Okay I am not that young anymore 😅 But in our big family all generations eat it and loves it too. With a few exeptions regarding surströmming. Anyway even they join us at the party and have something else to eat instead. 🎉🎉🍓
Hi. big fan! Not to be like that, but the picture with your cheesecake, that looks like cheesecake, not ostkaka. I don't want to litter your comment field with links for an example though. :) Also, the punchrulle, we call them "dammsugare" colloquially. It means "vacuum cleaner", cause when they were new people thought they looked a little bit like those really old school vacuum cleaners.
@woltersworld Okay, that makes perfect sense! :) They're both so good, and so entirely different, I hope everyone who visits gets a chance to try it out :)
Yes cheesecake is something totally different than what we called ”ostkaka” i e cheesecake in swedish. Two different desserts. Love both kinds though. The cheesecake is most often frozen or baked and then chilled in the refridgerator. And is very sweet in it self. The ”ostkaka” is baked in the avon, made of mixed almond, egg, cheese rennet and other stuff. You eat it warm with jam and whipped cream.
Fermented herring is still a thing, especially in the northern part of Sweden. The capital doesn't resemble all of Swedish cuisine. For example where my wife is from they serve "Nävgröt" (Nehvgroet) Which is a sturdy oatmeal dish typically served with Lingonberry, fläsk (flesk) i.e pork and the grease from frying the pork to blend the oatmeal with - and no she isn't from the north but west part of Sweden :)
thanks wolters for those video, we are moving from France to Sweden in a few days and your video helped a lot! can't wait to experience all this. as French you know how important food is! 😊

My only comment is that we do not lack service. We just respekt integrity very much. If you. Pay big money at a restaurant you don't want someone to disturb you every 5 min..
What is this heresy?! Swedes most definitely eat surströmming! Some swedes of weaker stock might shy away. But the rest of us stand proud with a surströmmings-wrapp in hand and valor in heart (at least once a year, in the late summer/early autumn)!
@@M.E.G.A While it is true, that Norrland stand above the rest of us in surströmming-glory, their wisdom was never lost to us southerners. Once each year, my neighbourhood gets to enjoy the rich aromas and joyful fragrances this culinary behemoth has to offer.
If you get good service, which is more common than one would think, of course you can tip. Same in Finland. Ant they really appreceate it. And I strongly suggest you check out the pastry shops for international stuff like cannoli. For example Drottinggatans Karamellaffär in Stockholm. Best cannoli I have had so far.
4:00 You said kanelbulle right. But you should try some of the creamy pastries too. Like prinsesstårta/bakelse, Budapest, Napoleon, etc. Or if you don't like whipped cream, just a nice sweet and buttery wienerbröd (Yes, all fancy names that sounded grand or exotic a century ago.)
We had lutfisk at the now closed Oaxen Slip as part of a julbord a few years ago. I figured if I was ever going to give it a shot it was there and then. I’m glad I didn’t wimp out, but I don’t need to have it again. Everything else we had was great. Pity it closed.
I agree that it's hard to find traditional swedish food (Husmanskost in swedish) in restaurants nowadays. Your best bet is either lunch buffets in working parts of towns (or touristy places if you settle for meatballs) or roadside restaurants. But if you want anything else than meatballs it can be hard regardless. The comments here are full of great suggestions, but for those your best bet is probably to befriend a swedish person and get invited to eat at their home. I think it's really sad that most restaurants here only do international stuff.
Im swedish and I really liked this video.The restaurants in Stockholm are really good nowadays. It is maybe a bit surprising that italian restaurants are really really good in Stockholm. In my opinion it is way better italian food here than in Italy. Come here and try it out.
Lutfisk (lutefish) doesn`t smeel either taste anything but my family crave thats every xmas. Surströmming (smelly fish) smells like death but taste more salty.
The so called lunch buffets are more likely to be dagens ratt, -todays dish- with sallad bread and coffee for a decent sum. The dish varies every day. But Thursday is often pea soup and pancakes. But you are right, thats where to find the traditional Swedish dishes. Arrive at 1pm, when the lunch battle normally is over and you can eat in peace without standing in line.
I want to give praise to the unsung (some would say better... I say better) bulle. Kardemummabullar (cardamom buns) are so god damn good! And they are served tight beside the cinnamon ones. They tend to be stickier and with that lovely floral cardamom note. Try it!
They have a word for their older more traditional food as well -- > Husmanskost. But like you stated a lot of the recipes are getting more and more rare as the younger generation isn't as enthusiastic about it.
They're harder to find, but when you're aching for a chocolate ball you really want find the ones covered in nib sugar instead of coconut flakes. Is it healthy? No, but you only live once. 😊
You forgot plankstek, pretty classic restaurant/pub food. A piece of meat with pommes duchesse served on a plank, basically. I recommend going to Lion Bar or Älgen to eat it
normal lunch dishes in sweden restaurants are: wallenbergare; pea soup with pankakes, oxjärpar; oval meatballs, fried rödspätta with potatoes and räkröra, gulasch. isterband och boiled potatoes and dill sauce, steak black and white with fried or boiled potatoes then as standard with lucn ther is usually a sallad buffet. cracker bread is really really good but i cant eat it, it has too much salt and is kinda unhealthy only because of it, swedes in general does not know or are aware of like the mechanics of salt in human body lol.. and btw this is probably like 99,9% the only reason swedish cracker bread isn't like a mainstay staple food around the world.. kinda funny and sad at the same time xd
You forgot to tell that at the crayf7dh parties you can get really drunk. Normally you eat between 10 and 20 crayfishea each and for every claw you eat, you tradtionally empty a glass of snaps.
In my family we eat Surströmming. My daughter somes home especially for the Surströmming, she loves it, and so do we. At least once or twice a year during the season in late August. Please stop saying that nobody eats it.
It is called lingon, not lingen. And we do not need to say lingonberries (lingonbär) in Sweden. We just say lingon for the berries and lingon jam if a jam is made of it.
The punch roll (aka Dammsugare =Vacuum cleaner) needs something to wash it down with, coffee if you like, tea for me. Lutfisk is still eaten around Christmas, but its popularity is fading a bit I think.

Thank you Wolter for updating your review of swedish food! Its still this that Meatballs, Pizza, Kebab, Suchi isnt that swedish.. its international! However, swedish meatballs served with brown cream sauce, with lingonberrys and pickled cucumber is a "trademark"! And then.. whatabout the most fancy dishes served at the fancyest resturants.. its fresh fish or other seafood, as a starter toast skagen/asortments of pickled herring/ and löjrom is even more expensive then Beluga caviar.. or a cheaper starter "Västerbottenpaj" could do!? In anyway.. to help Wolter and his international audience.. there is a lot of Shrimps in Scandinavia for food.. its not Prawns! One thing anybody visiting sweden need to try is a "räkmacka", an open shrimp sandwich! Only the locals new where one get the freshest shrimps.. (a hint, at Feskekörka in Gothenburg) but even in Stockholms nicest resturantes! There is still a lot of seafood to try, but altso if one is in Stockholm.. reinder, moose, elk deer.. fryed baltic herring, crayfish/lobster! Its this, no normal swede eat/use prawns in there cooking.. but when we visit the mediterainians, we love to eat prawns and octopus.. becuse they know how to cook it!
Also, I do believe that is like a crime against Sweden if you diss the punchrulle outside of parliament. Just so you know. Since Russia invaded Ukraine, we've become a bit more itchy in our trigger finger :p

Fermented herring. Eating in August for enthusiasts.
