Everyone, welcome back to our channel.
Today you're gonna be able to try Swedish food and Swedish candy. I bought a variety of things.
I can't wait.
Are you ready to bring it out on the table?
Yes. I have no idea what you have in store for me.
This is all gonna be a surprise and most of these things it's gonna be the first time I've ever tried it so go for it.
I'm not a picky eater. So I think I'll be able to eat all of this. No problem.
We'll see about that.
Here we go.
And here we have it.
Okay, tell me what we have here.
In this little bag we have "Smågodis" or "Lördagsgodis". (= Pick 'n Mix Candy)
We'll start with a good one that I think you'll like. This one is called peach. It's very sweet.
Easy, love it.
Typical gummy candy.
One of my favorite candies, it's the salty screw.
Salty, see for me candy shouldn't be salty it should be sweet. It looks like-
Mmm Wow! This is the best candy.
You like it?
You can have that one for me.
Are you sure?
Yup. Positive.
Tastes like salt.
I mean, it's like I just had a spoonful of salt.
This is the salty-
Take a bigger bite than that.
No finish it! Finish it!
I can't finish it.
What?
Oh my God.
That is disgusting.
Yum!
No.
That is one of the best candies.
My eyes are watering. I've had my sodium intake for the entire day after that thing.
That was all of the "Lördagsgodis".
We're gonna continue with the "Chokladbollar" or chocolate balls.
It's pretty much a ball of chocolate with coconut flakes on top.
Yeah, that's good.
"Ahlgrens Bilar" and the slogan for this one is "Sweden's most bought car". This has been a tradition since 1953.
Everyone loves this car. I've never met a person who doesn't like it. So you have three different flavors.
So here we have the white, the green and the pink.
It kind of taste like tutti frutti.
It tastes like a dehydrated marshmallow. It kind of looks like one. Yeah, it's good-
-I wouldn't buy it, but good to try it.
Should we try out some food?
So we have "Räksallad" or "Skagenröra". Sweeds love seafood and shellfish.
Usually you have this on top of like a toast with dill on top with lemon.
It's like a starter, or you can have it with fresh shrimp which is really good too and it's made with mayo.
It's good, but I mean it's basically shrimp in a fat of mayo so how can it not be good. It's just pure fat.
I mean, you turn this upside down it's not gonna fall off because it's so fatty.
Good, though.
This was okay. If you make it yourself, it's 1,000 times better.
That's okay. What is this?
That is "Sill".
You can't make this up. It says ABBA on it.
That's what happened to them these last 30 years. They went into retirement and started making Skardsgordsill.
"Skärgårdssill".
No, but it's a brand.
So this is herring.
We eat herring during Christmas and Midsummer.
I've never had herring.
Never?
Eh, no.
Wouldn't see any occasion to eat something like this.
I actually learned to eat herring just like a couple years ago and these are like the lighter ones.
We also have this, onion herring, which I think looks disgusting.
Ooh, I would not eat that.
But this I can eat.
So do I put this on toast or what?
No, you eat it like with potatoes as a starter.
Why are you smelling?
Hmm..
Is it good?
No, it's not. It tastes exactly how you would expect raw fish in a cup of vinegar to taste.
Yeah, it's not good.
Try this one. That one will be better.
Let's try that one. The ABBA version. ABBA "Sill"
How was it?
It tastes like...
You know that smell that you smell at the beach of like rotting seaweed?
Yeah.
If you're down at the ocean, that's what it tastes like.
I think it smells good.
Um, do you want to try some?
No, I'm OK.
So you know it doesn't taste good.
Let's try this one. "Gifflar".
Every Sweede loves these.
How could you not, they're really good.
This is good.
Good to bring if you're going out for the day to the ocean.
That's the difference between Los Angeles food culture and Sweden.
I found the Swedes love their pastries, cake and coffee.
ABBA "Sill" and coffee.
I think that's European.
Yeah. Maybe.
Very European.
The food here is very heavy for me.
I would say that Sweden in general are way healthier than America though.
Fatest people in the world. One of the highest obesity rates in the world.
Maybe for certain parts of America that might be true, but in general California everyone eats very healthy.
Hmmm. I've seen some pretty big people.
I never knew what cream was until I moved here. I never had bought cream, whipping cream-
-cooking cream anything like that until I moved to Sweden.
I've never cooked with it. You just don't cook with it in LA.
Yes, you do. You don't know about it, because you don't cook.
I cook...
That's a whole other story, a whole another video. I cook plenty.
Sure, you do.
Where's my phone? I want to show you what I have to eat for lunch.
Here you have meat with some sort of cream and some other sort of cream.
You have potatoes and cream with fish that's breaded.
That looks really good. He's wrong.
Here you have more potatoes and some sort of meat drenched in cream.
If you ask for a cream on the side or sauce on the side, this is what you get.
I wouldn't necessarily say Sweden is healthier than America.
I would. I stand by my point. Let me do this.
Let me add a picture here to a typical Swedish breakfast and we'll have the audience decide.
Next thing that we should try is..
What is this? This looks strange and interesting.
"Kalles Kaviar"
That's what we have on sandwiches.
Typically on a crisp bread and I would have a piece of boiled egg on the crisp bread and then put this on top.
Let's try it.
You wanna put it on this?
Sure.
So this is fish eggs what do you call it? Caviar.
Oh, does not smells good.
What is this?
Crisp bread.
Bread?
This is like what they would give to the sailors when they're sailing to the new world.
Because it doesn't rot. What the hell is this?
It's crisp bread.
It's healthy.
This is like a cracker.
No, it's crisp bread.
So, you just...
Mhm. Put a little piece there.
This is toothpaste or what is it.
Oh my god, that smells terrible.
Mmm.
Oh My God.
You don't like it?
I first just tasted the crisp bread and it tasted okay, but then I got a taste of that-
-the whatever this is, the fish toothpaste. Oh my god.
Can you just rattle off the ingredients real quick?
52% cod caviar, oil, sugar, potato flakes, tomato puree, salt, antioxidants.
I need water or something.
We're coming to the bad stuff or all the good stuff for me. First off we have "Jättesalt"
Which means very salty.
One for you, one for me. Cheers.
Take the whole thing.
Do you suck on it, or do you do chew it?
Suck on it.
Oh My God.
That is hideous, that is terrible.
So good.
It's just salts like compressed salt.
Ok, this is even worse.
I need some more hot shot before we continue with any of these because this is gonna be...
"Djungelvrål".
Very excited.
Salty monkeys.
Eat the whole thing.
It burns at the top of my mouth.
Mmm.
So good.
Where did this acquired taste for licorice come from for Swedes?
I have no idea.
Worst part it gets stuck in your teeth. So the tastes just kind of lingers there.
Pizza, Swedish pizza.
Wow!
Kebab pizza.
That looks really good. I'd really want a slice of this.
It's not...
It's not.. sliced.
You don't slice your pizza in Sweden.
So they slice their cheese, but not the pizza.
I'll slice my own cheese, but the pizza. Are you serious?
It usually come like this? You told them not to slice it?
No.
You don't have not to slice the pizza just for this video didn't you?
No.
We don't have a pizza slicer.
We have a scissor.
Scissors?
Yep.
They want us to slice the pizza with scissors.
Yes.
What do we pay them for?
To make a pizza.
This is unreal.
They just cut every corner they can and we're paying them $20 for a pizza they can at least slice it-
-with their specialized machinery.
Why are you slicing the whole thing like that?
I've never sliced a pizza with scissors before?
Yeah, you can just cut a small piece.
You gotta admit this is a good pizza though.
Well, let you know as soon as I try it.
It's really good. It's really good. I still have the taste of fish egg, licorice salt, cream-
-and other things in my mouth, but this pizzas still really good. Mmm.
What's on it?
Tomato sauce, cheese, kebab, spices.
Like garlic sauce, like mild sauce and peperoni.
Wow. It's really good.
Mm-hmm.
Would have been a lot more enjoyable if I don't have to cut it myself with a pair of sewing scissors, but still.
Nonetheless.
Okay, last but not least. I've cooked a homemade Swedish meal called "Flying Jacob".

Last meal.
I'm not excited whatsoever to try it. It smells good. I'll give it that. Okay, just a reminder-
-we have bacon, chicken, cream, bananas, peanuts, rice and chili sauce.
The bacon. I'm gonna go with the bacon to ease into it.
I'll have to give it another shot here.
So good.
It is pretty good. I like the banana with the peanuts. It's kinda like Thai food. It's like a a mixture of Thai-
-I'm gonna try to get a piece with bacon, chicken-
-all in there and the rice. It's not bad.
Anything else you want to say before we leave?
Come to Sweden. We have great food, great candy. Great people.
Great people great everything. The food the weather not so great. Everything else, just wonderful.
