So as promised, you guys asked for Swedish meatballs made by a swede. Okay. And I was telling Mrs. W. the day that I'm very lucky to have in-laws that I actually like. So I'm hoping for you some nice food. No turkey this year. That's right. So a lot of folks said that this was not really that new of a deal, that they had had Swedish meatballs before at IKEA. IKEA, I say IKEA, how do you pronounce it properly? IKEA. IKEA. How do you say Huskivarna, please, from a swede? Yeah, he was Kona. See, I've been saying it right the whole time. Yes, I know. No, it was from Huskivarna. He was Kona. Okay. So the ladies are going to make a proper Swedish meatballs. Absolutely. No horse meat? No horse meat today. Only beef. Only beef. Okay, so I'll let you get started. I'll step out here and I think you'll enjoy this. Okay, so what do we have for ingredients? We've got the hamburger, we've got just the bread. You guys have kind of crunched that up in little pieces. Yep. You're cooking the onions down. We've got some egg yolks. How come you guys didn't serve this to me when my first visited Sweden? Do you remember what the family made? No. So I'm not an adventurous eater. And I don't like fish. Right. Very well. Yep. And they eat a lot of fish in Sweden. Absolutely. A lot of smelly fish. Yes. And so the family decided to put on kind of a traditional Swedish, was it smorkish board? Yes. How is it? Very fermented. Lots of beans. With a lot of the traditional food, which is a lot of fish fermented. And so I was looking through, it was all, I was looking through this and I'm thinking, good grief. There's nothing here that I'm going to eat. This is so disgusting. And I saw one thing that it looked good to me. And you know what it was? It was fish sticks. Oh, fish sticks. It was Gordon's fish sticks. I saw that like, I'll have that. I know what that is. We actually had that for the children. It just exactly happened. And so I'm scooping them on my plate. And some nice woman I remember who it was. She's like, oh no, that's for the children. She took it away. She took it back on my plate. Oh no. So I've got like these little tiny, like you know, little new way, new of new vocuisine. We get them a little like a pea and you get a little thing. That's what my plate looked like. Well, and the whole family was like, your boyfriend doesn't eat very much. He's been very thin. Where are we? So it was, so it was off to McDonald's. The first thing we're going to do is take the bread, 100 little pieces, soak it in some milk. I am grating some onion. Sometimes you can actually even chop this if you want to. But I think we like smaller pieces. So we are grating some onions in here. Let me help. There's another half onion over there if you want to grab that. Found it. Otherwise I'm good at putting stuff away for them. So Helen, let's go, bro. Come on under the sand. Yeah. Do you can? Yeah. Tall. You have a here of four egg yolks. Four egg yolks, I can do that. So I am just, we're just going to use the egg yolks in this particular dish. So I am getting the egg yolks separately from the white. And then this is going to get into the ground beef, right? We are going to go ahead and mix the bread and the beef and the eggs and the onions. So I'm going to go ahead and soften the onions first before we add it into the beef mixture. Okay, so what do we have for ingredients? We've got the hamburger, we've got just the bread. You guys have kind of crunched that up in little pieces. Yep. You're cooking the onions down. We've got some egg yolks. Hello. Is this meal sweet, love the food? We've got to give a couple of months first. Yeah, she's not quite into the solids yet. I think she's our calling her big little. But she's looking pretty solid herself. So we're starting to add the ingredients into the kitchen. And we're going to go ahead and mix it and mix it and mix it. You know what they call these in Swedish? What meatballs? Yes. Should I have the bowl? Oh, I didn't know. I don't think you can say that. This is a family channel. Shit, that's a mess. Shit, it's going to be a lie. So I do, guys. So more and more, what year was it that you came over from Sweden to America? I came over 1965. 1965? And then I was in Annie. So what was your first impression when you saw America? How was it? How was it? Had you been to America before? Well, I was here for a summer for three weeks. So it was a big surprise. Well, it was still a big surprise to live in a family. And the other times it was just all glitzy and fun. Now I was in the family. So the lady in the house told that I worked. She was a great cook. So she really inspired me to keep on going. So that was wonderful. I like that lots. Yeah. I think every time I saw something new, I said, oh, boy, everything was a boy because I was really impressed easily. So when we were at our wedding, we have a good friend, Don, who said something really funny. You came over from Sweden in the 60s. Right. And you brought the 60 Swedish dialect? Correct. And you still kind of got that going on, but I understand. Yeah, that's what they joke about me and the family when I go to Sweden. You're going to go back to Sweden. Like you're saying you're saying you quote a... Oh, it's a groovy man. That's right. That's right. That's right. They do make fun of your own occasions. But do you know it's funny how some words is cycled around? So I think some of the words are now being used again. Now you're cool again. No, you're so hip-hop. I find you. Always. When we got our last vacuum, we called it our robot. And so we would be like, Jack, would you like to use the robot? And so at first you thought it was pretty cool. He doesn't think it's so cool anymore. A little tip is to go ahead and fry up some of the meatball first to see how it tastes. Because depending on how fresh your spices are, it can taste very different. This way we know whether we need to add some more spices or not. Plus we get to taste the deliciousness before we actually start making the meatball. How was it growing up with a Swedish mother? I would imagine there weren't a lot of those around. Where do you grow? No, there were not a lot of those. It was interesting because she cooked food that was different than what everybody else would eat. So we had chicken curry, we had a lot of fish. But also we eat that with string. A knekke brun. Right? Satslokris. Satslokris, absolutely. So we had some things that were a little bit stranger. And then, you know, was it a lemon? A parmimbans? A cardamom roll. Yeah. So delicious. Yeah. And then we had our holidays were a little bit different. Christmas Eve, instead of Christmas Day. You'll grow and film the thing. So you'll throw out your Christmas tree and you'll have a party all about it. You know, things that are kind of strange. So Justin, what's the deal with the sour strumming? Do people actually enjoy that? They do. And it's actually a big, big, parties going on with seed strumming. I've had it a couple of times. I can't say it's on my list of being delicacies. But it's just the thing about it. You see it outside. It's usually in the fall. You had something called the almond potatoes. They are almond shaped. And then you have onions to go with it. So we're cream, a special type of bread. And you roll up the seed strumming that smells putrid. Is what do you call it? Yep. Smells terrible sour. So sour. So sour. Yes. And what they have done is they have taken a Baltic hearing, I believe it is. And they put it in cans with some certain bacteria. Oh, yeah. We've all seen the videos. Yes. Yes. We've grown American men cry. We've just known the cast are being opened. Oh, yeah. You're absolutely correct. So if I were to have some of that for you next time, would you like to, would you enjoy that? No. All right, mom. We've got a clean as we go. Just like the pro. OK. My husband tells me that all the time. Svenska, that was Angenska. I was going to tell her. He told her little, Angenska, never. So the papa's wife, I don't know, you need a set of a new or did, did instead of a day. Hello, young talent. I'm Nikis Svenska. See what I mean, Cody? It is confusing. I've been working on my Swedish. What's your advice? What do you have? Tita, Nehund. What about a color? It's not dog meat. Oh, that's so funny. You said, look, no, dog. No, you did. What I love is that you came over with your girlfriend. Yeah. And she also married an American. She did. Yeah. She needs a Connecticut. Which I mean, I think I've just like the, those those American men can really woo the women. Anyways, mom liked Cody. And she, because of her Swedish accent, she said to me, oh, did you talk to that long fellow instead of tall? That long fellow, he was so nice. And I was like, yeah, that long fellow, he was so soft. Not my kind of guy. But apparently he was. Well, it's always fun to hear stories of people, and that, I think. Right? Right. Well, guys, this looks very nice. I think we're going to have a nice meal. Yes. Let's go out. So delicious. Is it good? Mm-hmm. Okay. Oh. Yeah. Oh, yeah. It is good. It's good. It's good. It's good. It's good. Yeah. It's good. It's good. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So we're having, actually we're going out to the Thai food tonight. Yeah. But you guys will put these in the fridge and then we'll bake them. Yeah. And then we'll make the whole dinner tomorrow. So I don't know if that, if the finished product will be in this video or the next one, depends on how long it takes. But yeah. Regardless. Okay. We're going to eat. Yeah. These are great. So all right. Thanks for watching. All right. I'll see you on there on the next video. And make sure you're good at bombs up. That's what I'm saying. Oh, where did it go down? I'm going to go down.
