Don't be unsure, Beryl. There are tons, TONS of salt-cured foods around the world. Meats, fishes, veggies, even a few fruits.
The kladdkaka looks a lot like a Sacher Torte from Germany. Texture like NY Cheesecake, sinfully fudgy.
Salt – read Mark Kurlansky’s book! It will give you a framework for an episode. The Midwest has loads of Swedish and Norwegian food. Yes, it goes way beyond hot dish and jello. PS Give that doggy half a meatball or a little piece of lox! She’s way better behaved than my 2 monsters.
With the waffle a bacon dish, the waffle it's actually suppose to have potato in it (and obviously be a pancake like you mentioned), so that would make it different from a normal waffle
Ansjovis are better translated as "sprats," not "anchovies." But in any case Janssons frestelse is delightful. And Swedish baking is WORLD CLASS.
1:23 the ones who left forgot to bring flavor to the new country. I grew up in a town where nearly everyone had at least one grandparent from the Old Country but never any Scandinavian food except lefse, lutefisk, herring on salad bars, & a few Christmas cookies. Haha a tourist once asked me if I’d ever met anyone from Sweden before…ummm yeah lady, 25% of my home town…
Do the salt video! In Peru we have a preserved salted fish called charqui. We have salt mines as well which are beautiful to visit. Never tried charqui myself but I have visited the salt mines 😊
I'm part Swedish! My great-grandparents immigrated around 1906. They both went separately and then my great-grandmother sought out my great-grandfather because she had a crush on him from meeting him back in Sweden and they got married.
I didnt expect freaking jumpscare at 0:34 wtf
Kladdkaka. Someone might already have answered this, but kladdkaka is only known as kladdkaka. It’s the TRANSLATION that … harder. How do you translate a word with the same meaning? And people will ask questions, so you describe it as something else that the person might know better. Translation sticky cake. Describe as kind of brownie, kind of mud cake… But it’s only known as kladdkaka hete
I got so stressed out when you said you were having lingon with your waffles 😅
Darlin' Beryl! Thanks so much for all your vids – you're my absolute fave. Also – I've noticed your eye but I always just thought it was cute and not even worth a mention. I get peoples' curiosity and I appreciate you acknowledging it pragmatically. I'm sure you know, but just want to say anyway, that it's just a lovely quirk and makes you all the more endearing. Thanks for consistently great content – I never tire of ya! X
these dishes sound like dogshit
It is not hard how to describe lingonberries. They're like cranberries without the bitter aftertaste.
My dog won't eat bread. lol Cute doggo! Going to look for that chocolate cake!
A salt episode!! I love that idea 😊
BAchelor delight is done with tuna fish and Ladies delight ( Gummröra or Kärringröra) is a lovely mix with Sourcream , mayo and cold smoked salmon , served with roe.
In the smörgåsbord setting you wouldn’t have lingonberry with the meatballs.
Beryl- we need to see a salt episode, a fat episode, an acid episode, and a heat episode!!!
Thanks so much for the low down on Marcus Gunn. I looked it up and the article said the condition can be sporadic and yours is sporadic. When I started watching your vids I took the eye signal as a sign of liking the bite very much. It's not a failsafe sign but pretty close to revealing your satisfaction with the bite. Rock On.
Oh no not smorgasburg 😂 it is smörgåsbord in Swedish meaning sandwich table. The English translation is Smorgasbord. Also the potato casserole is the best, it should be even fattier with a lot of butter and cream and a crunchy top because of how long time it spent in the oven 😋
Thanks for the eye flutter explainer, I just thought it was a cute physical trait. It still is, but it's cool that your eye has a name.
Hi i'm from Denmark 👋 we ofte eat pickled herring with thinly sliced hardboild eggs to cut the fishy taste of it 😊 I would love to see a episode about danish food 🫶
I eat waffles with sour cream and slightly sugared strawberries! Delicious 🙂
We dont eat it really
First time I see your channel @Beryl Shereshewsky Omg.. have no idea what you ate..(yeah I did)😅… I live in Sweden, born here, but have Finish parents.. so in the food section I have part of both… BUT I could not concentrate on what foods you ate… because you are so qute. 🥰 Is it going too far, to ask if you'r single 🤭🤭
Its too bad the kladdkaka is wrong. May e cause you got a non gluten version? Though tbh storebought kladdkaka is always a bit too dry imo. Still delicious looking, but not really a kladdkaka.
Its somehow both more dry and more wet than its supposed to be lol.
Kladdkaka has kind of a shell of more solid dry "crust" on top, and the inside can go from stick to gooey.
I like mine gooey, and straight from the oven, the inside is almost like melted chocolate. And I bread the pan with butter and dried coconutflakes.
And I often make it like portionsized in cupcake tins instead of doing a big cake in a spring form pan, cause then I can freeze them and eat it for longer. (I totally will eat a whole pan by muself in a couple of days and thats not very healthy lol)
As a Swede, I eat waffles more as a dessert rather than a savory dish, with strawberry (jam) and whipped cream. Gubbröra I don't think I've never had in my life. Smörgårdstårta and Jansson frestelse I don't like at all. Pickled herring (Sill) I don't like either, although I eat eat it twice a year, Christmas and midsummer, because tradition. About "Gravad lax" it totally depends, if you buy just ordinary from the grocery shop, it's not particularly special, but if you buy expensive from a good fish shop, it's splendid. Potatis and purjolökssoppa is awesome, but only my own recipe lol (vegetable stock, garlic and heavy cream is the secret). I can get behind kladdkada though, but you should also try "kärleksmums".
That chocolate kladdkaka was not the real one because I don’t like chocolate so much and this one was not kladdkaka
Beryl, we LOVE your eye in our house ❤❤❤ In fact, we came up with saying if something is really good. We say, "The eye don't lie." 😊
PLEASE do a chocolate episode! I know you aren't a fan, but most of us are LOL
