My name is Kjens! My Kjena! How are you? I'm good at how you're doing! I'm good! Are you going to make a video on Swedish? Yes! Okay, what's the name of the video? Matt. Welcome to this month's Swedish-American culture comparison video. Was that a slash sign? Yeah! So this week is a very special week. This is a Swedish preparation video for your trip to America. Okay, we've been now in the states for a little while and Lisa is having withdrawals. Is having withdrawals. And so she's put together a list of her top 10 favorite foods that she can't get in America. So if you are Swedish or Scandinavian or European or something that's not American, she's about to list 10 foods that are extremely hard to find here. Number 10. Kreftor or Kreifisch. They are so good. They're salty. So in Sweden, we boil them with a ton, a ton of dill. And you actually... Okay guys, I know this sounds gross, but it's very good. You like suck the juice out of there. It's so weird. Stamack. The weirdest thing. You're sitting at a table of sweet barbaric right now. It's just a lot of kreftor. I love kreftor. Kreftor. Kreftor. Number 9. Halumi. How this is not huge in California is like beyond me. All you Swedes. We all know it's like Halumi burgers at max. You can find Halumi, Halumi, Halumi. It's everywhere and it's so good. It's such a great substitute also, I think for me. Halumi is not Swedish per se. It's from Cyprus. But it's hugely popular in Sweden. I feel like it's becoming like a Swedish thing. Yeah, and it hasn't made it to the States at all. Besides for like a super expensive, matter of time, I'm sure. Yeah. Number 8. Shuttbullar. Or meatballs. And it always happens. People are like, oh my god, I key out. Yeah, meatballs. I go there for the meatballs and I'm like, good for you. Maybe, maybe not. You haven't had them. Well, they're pretty good. Okay, maybe they are. I'm just saying that if in the future you get a chance to taste real homemade Swedish meatballs, then please do because it is a big, big difference in flavor. And they can come like a little bit larger size. And it's just, it's a different, it's a different game. Number 7. It's a cardamom flavored bun. You cut it in half, you stuff it with almond paste, which is delicious, especially if it's homemade. You use heavy whipping cream, whip it up, real nice and airy, puffy, and put it in the middle and the lid on top. It's like a burger basically, but with cardamom, dough, and cream in between. And it's like, it's worth its own trip to Sweden for sure. Well, I can agree. Number 5. Lingon. Lingamberry. Lingamberry anything. Gosh, it's so, it's so good. And when you have a dish that needs Lingamberry jam, there's like, like, mousse meatballs. Oh my god, mousse meatballs. It's really good. It's not often when it happens, the withdrawals are real. It's a struggle. Number 5. Safron ice cream. I know that you guys, maybe you are one of these people that I would love to be that make your own ice cream and it tastes amazing. I have actually not tried that yet. I don't think you have either, have you? Not with you. Oh, but you have. Oh yeah. Oh, can you make good ice cream? Kids, we used to do that in, like, science projects in school. With wrong thoughts. That is so American. You make ice cream in chemistry class. Yeah. I love that. You don't really use in America. Definitely not in Southern California. I believe it's the, I think it's like, omesh. The Safron is a huge part of their cooking and so they have Safron flowers everywhere. So, come Safron season. It's everything's fully cooked with Safron there. Number 4. Salt block rice, salt delicious. Always and forever in my heart. Okay, so it actually is getting a little easier to find here but it's not Swedish famous brands the ones that I'm looking for. They're kind of like Dutch brands, not as good. But I'm not complaining. I can find them. At least you can find them. At least I can find them. But whenever I go to Sweden, I stack up on my hicks, little wall and... Why don't you just go ahead and grab your... Okay. You're about to see how serious this is. This is the perfect example of all the things that I dislike. It's salty licorice everywhere. These are so good. These are kind of new. Have you guys seen this? It's like a... Sman ghost. Yeah. But here, look, you can see in here there's some other candies that aren't licorice but now they're only available to licorice eaters because they're salt all over them. It's a strategy. Okay, okay. We have a video to do. Come back here. Hey. Number three. Kicks, Koklaud. Kicks, Koklaud doesn't really have a translation. It's just what it is. It's a... Kicks chocolate. So I love it and my latest guilty pleasures that are really, really like it with my morning coffee and make like a little lotting in the morning and then I have a nice... You're eating candy for breakfast. I know you have to stop me. Number two. Sea or pickled herring. I know. This is a weird thing. Fremendid pickled fish. But again, it's that salt. I just love these salty pickled things. I, however, do not miss pickled herring. I'm kind of sticking to the more traditional ones. The classics. But that might change. We'll see. What is that dance? Oh, that's my pickled dance. Oh. And number one. What is the number one thing that you miss? Kallus Kaviyar. For all of you who are waking up in the night just like craving and dreaming about smoked fish row out of a tube. I'm right there with you. Oh my god. Oh my god. Dream big. Dream big. Well there you have it. Lisa's top 10 most missed Swedish foods. So if you're planning your trip to the States, think wisely, none of those foods will be readily available to you. If you're an American planning to go to Sweden, any of those foods will be an interesting experience for you to try. And that does it for this video. Thanks for sharing all of your insults. Oh yeah, that was so lovely. Sorry I blew salted licorice air in your face. That was very cruel. I also just want to say that we're going to make another video about what you miss as an American when you're in Sweden as far as like candy and marriages and things and things to put. Spoiler alert. It's probably a lot more processed than your food. I want to know what you guys think. Do I have terrible taste? Can you kind of relate? Or what would you miss if you left Sweden as far as foods and candies and stuff? I want to know. I definitely want to know that I'm not alone craving all these weird stuff.
