Ahh.. Your question, I did a thesus on Swedish cheese.. We actually have a rich heritage of cheese that goes back to viking times. The monks who tried to christianise Sweden wrote diaries about the people here and their way of life. And there is the first mention of the cheese. How the Norse had cob shaped cheeses.. And every farm made their own.. This is the beginning of what is then to be known as Swedish household cheese. (Hushållsost) When the country christianised.. A lot of dairy farms paid the church tax with cheese. the Priests cheese would contain more cream and better milk then the househould cheese... So inherently it became different from household cheese. The Priests would store them so they would become a stronger tasting cheese.. Prästost. Priest's Cheese. The monks made their own cheese. Munkost.. (Monks cheese) etcetc. Sweden today has hundreds of cheeses unique to Sweden.. And they are virtually unknown to the rest of the world.. I had thought to make a web series about this on youtube.
I had no idea our cheese was so obscure. I guess one becomes blind to the things that are common to ones own home. But, now that you mention it... we have A LOT of cheese, and most of it really do come from Sweden. Huh.
Swede here. I eat eggs with kalles on a BUTTER SPREADED "soft vetekaka" almost everyday, I like it on hardbread aswell. The butter though is what these "trying kalles reaction videos" most often miss. Also, we love dill in Sweden.
there are many different types of soft cheese in tubes, it is made from real cheese, which has been finely grated and heated with salt, because it has been heated, pasteurized, it does not need to be kept in the refrigerator, you should store it in the refrigerator after opening the package, but keeps for a few days maybe a week at room temperature after you open it, so it's good camping food
Dear britt, we have a very rich cheese culture. Historically a big part of our economy has been based on dairy and with long winters it has primarily been in the form of aged cheeses. There's so many varieties, but the main style is hard cheeses without mould. Some are full fat, others are from skimmed milk. Some are grainy others are closer to swiss type cheese. But we have a very high quality cheese industry today.
ABBA fish products were first, they gave permission to music ABBA. 😊 Knäckebröd is real bread, eggs and Kalles yes (with butter of course) cheese in a tube yes, but prefer "real" cheese. Love Cheese! 🧀 Vegetarian and vegan are great options of course, if they do it well.
My Swedish soul died a little when you said "do you eat it on real bread?" 😂 To me Knäckebröd is one of the best bread there is. When my parents sent a packet to me when I was studying abroad I was SO happy because I was so tired of the soft bread!
Our cheese is top notch! My Greek father asks me to bring him some every time I come to visit😄 Especially Prästost (direct translation: Priest cheese). Very rich and flavourful
Another thing to take note of with the ”shrimp cheese” or räkost that they specifically used is that it is ”laktosfri” or lactose free and that too affects it, saying that i also arent a fan of shrimp, they do have other versions that are way more common too like, BaconOst (Bacon Cheese) and SkinkOst (Ham Cheese)
In Sweden you can buy mackerel in tomato sauce, in small metal cans. You get a couple of files in each can, they are very popular! Someone had the brilliant idea of throwing these in the blender and make it into a purée, and stuff it in a tube. I wouldn't eat that, I'd just buy them whole 🤣 If you google "Mackerel in tomato sauce" you might see how they look.
We love cheese too we have lots of really nice cheeses VästerbottenOst is the best tjough. Knäckebröd is baked in a low temperature an a long time ❤ You can most likely get those things at IKEA specially Kalles kaviar. Kalles is sooo good on boiled eggs. Soft cheese is also often in tubes.
It is not fake cheese it is quality cheese they melt with special salt and then add different flavours. Like shrimp or ham or bacon and other flavours.
Kalles Caviar is SMOKED all of them but gold takes it to a whole new dimension. Gold really explodes in flavour in the mouth. So darn tasty. Ooohh wait i´m swedish grown up on Kalles LOL
1. Butter, tube kaviar and cheese or egg works best with darker bread or knäckebröd. Yes, for breakfast. 2. My favorite cheeses are: Västerbottenost, Mästarost(from Glada Bonden Mejeri) and Gräddost. Maybe mesost but I don't know if it's a cheese. 3.I prefer bacon, mould or normal cheese in tubes, but shrimp also works. I think it tastes pretty cheesy, not that artificial. 4. Makrill in tomato sauce is much better in cans.
Bread with butter, eggs and kaviar is a staple at breakfast in many Swedish homes, my favorite bread for a Äggmacka is Polarbröd Rågkaka (soft rye flatbread).
If I’m out of Crispbread / knäckebröd I can eat kaviar on soft bread .knäckebröd , butter ,cold boiled egg and kaviar . Or warm boiled egg on knäckebread and only butter .
We have a lot of cheese in Sweden. Many more different variants than what I feel the UK has, . We also cut our cheese with a osthyvel. Overall, we have a lot of products made from milk. Yes, kalles goes well with all types of bread. Best is almost on a very light fluffy bread. Yes, we also have Kalles on eggs ABBA the company existed long before the ABBA music group. So if someone were to sue someone, it is the company that would sue the music group. But I always think there was some disagreement between them, they deal with very different products. The ABBA company deals with fish, only, but they do a lot with fish. Svennes is a competitor to Kalle's so different companies. If Kalle's is Coca-Cola, then Svennes is Pepsi.
We also have a few hundred different cheese tubes too. Everything from Bacon cheese and whiskey cheddar to brown cheese (mesost) in tubes. It's *real* cheese, it's not velveeta. There's a lot of different "just cheese" brands. You might want to taste Reindeer cheese first.
Most Swedish cheese is the hard variety with mild, creamy and nutty taste, most of them are akin to the Dutch variants, which would explain why Gouda is also very popular here alongside classics like Grevé and Herrgård. Then we have some sharper variants like the acclaimed "Västerbottenost".
The good thing about food in tube (Kalles, mayo, mustard, tomato paste, different kinds of cream cheese) is that it doesn’t need to be stored in the fridge and the tube packaging will prolong the shelf life.
If Parmesan is the King of cheese then the Queen of cheese is Västerbotten Cheese! Västerbotten cheese over surströmming or a good Västerbotten cheese pie!
Kaviar....So good. I eat two lingonbread every morning with butter, kaviar and egg. Perfect breakfast. Not on knäckebröd but you can have it yes. The Lingongrova bread I eat is a dark bread.
Tubed cheese is called mjukost, meaning soft cheese. But a better name would be smältost, meaning melt cheese. There’s nothing fake about it, it’s made from hard cheese that melts from certain salts. It’s really good, and handy when camping etc. You can use it for cooking also, shrimp cheese soup is really good. 😋
And swedens most famous cheese i think is Västerbottensost. It's made only in västerbotten in a Village called busträsk. And it's very good but not cheap 😅
The crackingbread, kales, egg and a cup of coffee on the side. Chef’s kiss 😋 Or you can just have an egg in a cup and put Kalles all over that thang. Yum yum!
Kaviar is Sweden's gift to the Nordics. We eat it in Finland and I think it's even more common in Norway. Finland has the "bread cheese" Norway has the brown cheese but I'm not sure if Sweden has any unique cheeses of their own. I suppose they do but never heard of it either
Västerbotten is popular as well. Very tasty one. And there is ALOT of tube cheese to choose from. Hot Jalapeno, schrimp, crayfish, ham, bacon, diffirent mushrooms cheese, chorizo, reindeer etc etc etc
Yes to shrimp and cheese, an amazing combo. And YES it is actual cheese. Soft cheese in tubes are a big thing. Dwayne, when you come to Sweden you need to try the classic cheese in a tube: Raketost. (Rocket cheese)
I sometimes eat kalles kaviar with eggs but not on Knäckebröd but instead on bread rolls. It's very tasty 😊👍. It's also very common for us Swedes to eat Kaviar with eggs.
Many of these delicious soft cheeses with different ingredients - bacon, shrimp, ham, crayfish etc - is also available in trays which allows you to empty the contents completely. The tubes are handy but sometimes difficult to completely empty
Why do they HATE butter.. no swede would eat anything that they eaten without putting butter first on there crakers or any other sort of bread! I have watched a lot of foreginers trying swedish food.. especialy sandwich food.. where is the butter.. where is the butter?? Soo.. the swedish name for sandwich is "Smörgås", Smör =butter and gås in this context is whats goes along withe bread and butter! So one supose to put someting els on top of that.. in this case egg and Kalles! Or egg and sill!
✋ It’s funny you say no Swede would, but I actually never put butter on anything when eating Kaviar. Kaviar and butter don’t mix well imo. Next time don’t speak for everyone when stating YOUR opinion. Thx
The Abba food company has been around since 1838. The music group Abba just happened to get the same name because they used the initials of the group members.
I only eat Kalles kaviar with eggs, usually on a sandwich. I don’t eat knäckebröd that often though. I like knäckebröd but it’s not very filling. I only eat the original Kalles kaviar - krav obviously if I can find it.
Spreadable liver paté is a very common on breakfast sandwiches. Egg with Kalles kaviar is also a common breakfast item. Kalles is also a bit like vegemite where you either love it or hate it. Kalles even made a commercial were they travelled to Tokyo, L.A. and NYC and offered free samples to people on the street and then only showed people not enjoying the flavour and the ending with the slogan "Kalles, A very Swedish flavour".
We have a lot of different good cheeses in Sweden. Especially hard cheeses. And yes we eat brie here. it is very popular on baguettes together with salami.
Egg and Kaviar is the magic combination on bread, but kaviar and cheese is also suprisingly tasty together. I rarely eat kaviar alone on bread. Some people also add chives. Kaviar is an aquired taste. Easier for kids to like it, adults is a hit or miss for the first time taste. But in general, kaviar should be eaten together with something, like mustard, you would never eat it on its own.
Cheese is one topic where I’ll go ”yeah, we have it and it’s generally very good…. but danes do it a lot better than us.” A good danish cheese smells like 10 gymbags but the taste is orgasmic!
We often eat Kalle's Caviar on a bread called Hönökaka and Knäckebröd. Räkost are best spread on the sandwich. All are good with butter before putting on the toppings.
Kalles on half of a boiled Egg, as it is , is SuuuperNice !!! .. add Knäckebröd+Butter..and it`s even better.. Me, I like it with a Glass of cold Apple Juice.. / btw Dwayne, you really need to try the Classic "Tunnbrödrulle med Räksallad".. it`s soooo good...It is a rolled thin Potato-bread filled with a Hotdog/sausage + mushed Potatoes+ Mustard/Ketchup + the odd addative Shrimpsalad..,(Potato bread is a reeealy old kind of bread originaly baked in an old open oven maintained by an open fire.. )
We have lots of cheese in Sweden, most common are hard cheese, and we use cheeseslicers (Norwegian invention) and not knives like barbarians. We also have cheese in tubes: shrimpcheese, baconcheese, dillcheese, about as many different flavours as potatochips has. Hard cheeses: Västerbotten (used for pie to eat with the crayfish) Prästost(Priest), Grevéost(Count), Herrgårdsost(Manor), Svecia, Hushållsost(Household), Gräddost(Cream) and lots more.
The cheese in those tubes are cream cheese. It is a type of cheese that is not matured as long as regular sheese. So it is still made from milk and got of lacto asids from milk. It is basicly sheese that is put in a tube before it goes harder and becomes a regular cheese. And fake cheese is often just difrent kinds of fats ans acids that is combinated to behave as cheese. It is not often used in Sweden at all. But som crappy pizzas thar you buy frozen and just heat in you owen has "cheese like products" aka fake cheese rather than real cheese. If you go to the deli section of an avrage grossery store you often can get nice goumet cheeses from Sweden there.
Eggs with Kaviar is a classic, doesn't matter if you put it on bread or not. The kind of bread doesn't even matter either, it's good on both knäckebröd and soft bread.
Just going to mention that shrimpcheese (which is slightly smoky melty shrimpy cheeseness) is super good as a outdoor, carry with you when out walking in nature, seefoody goodness. I'm quite certain that they're made of actual cheese, so no fake cheese.
Knäckebröd with Kalles, or in a more rich breakfast sandwich is usually used for either breakfast (majority of the time) or in a snack or for some on top of eggs during christmas.
I have Kalles on softbread with butter and eggs, so good! I spread the kaviar on the bread like butter and then put boiled eggs on it. Räkost is soooo good my god, there is also one with ham (skinkost) its amazing!
Yes, Kalles kaviar (or any of the other swedish brands) is perfect for cracker bread, but I'm puting butter on first. Kaviar also works perfect with boiled eggs, sliced on bread or just as it is. Another speciality I love is leftovers from fresh bolied potatoes sliced on the buttered bread (preferebly swedish cracker bread), kaviar on the potatoes and toped with a litle of dill and chives on the kaviar.... delicious! Several of the most common brands of kaviar has a "mild" version, that isn't so edgy, but with alot of the smoked taste, those I like best. Kaviar is also great at buttered toast. About cheese; Yes, there are swedish cheese. Some of the typical swedish cheeses are Västerbotten, Svecia, Herrgård, Grevé and Prästost.
Traditionally we bake a big batch knäckebröd once a year to get it to last until next time. It will probably last for several years if stored dry and cool. In Sweden you can have the same brand name if they cover totally different areas. Shrimp cheese is really good, it's not fake cheese but it's actually real cheese softened with melting salts. Vegan caviar is actually quite good but it's not the same as real roe, it's its own thing.
I am Swedish and eat boiled eggs with kaviar EVERY morning for breakfast. But I prefer Svenne's kaviar over Kalle's, since it is a bit milder in taste. Thank you for posting. I had no idea that tube food is a particular Swedish thing, so I learned something new today.
I like Spiced cheese 🧀 its a type of cheese with added spices. In Swedish, the term usually refers to a gritty hard cheese seasoned with, among other things, cumin, and where cloves and cumin can also be included. 🐭 This type of seasoned cheese is similar to a seasoned version of Swedish cheese, and there are several manufacturers in Sweden. Seasoned cheese is eaten, among other things, at midsummer and on crayfish slices and is also considered an important topping on crisp bread for the festive meal "pea soup and punch".
Boiled eggs and Kalles Kaviar on any type of preferably buttered bread (including sourdough) is a Swedish breakfast staple. Typical Swedish cheeses include Västerbottenost (named after the geographical region) and Prästost (means vicar or priest cheese). Hard salty cheeses kind of similar to cheddar. There are other cheeses as well.
The soft-cheese shrimp thing is just cheese, water, shrimp and melting salts. The melting salts emulsify the cheese with water to get a spreadable thing.
Eggs in half, topped with some seafood (prawn, cray fish e.g.) and a line of Kalles... Maybe some mayo... Nomnom. Nomnomnom! Perhaps on a slice of dark bread... And you get a reason for drinking a snaps!!! I sometimes crave for plain white bread, a good cheese and some Kalles on top. That and a glass of Ice-cold O'boy afterwards. Oh... Those memories...
The head office moved to Stockholm in the 1850s and in 1906 the company AB Bröderne Ameln was registered, which was shortened to the Abba brand. In 1928, the company started manufacturing in Kungshamn. The band ABBA was way later so the foodbrand Abba aint infringing at all, the band is more infringing on the name. 😏
I've had Kalles Kaviar on sliced hard boiled eggs on hard bread every morning for 40 years :p The Makrill in tomato sauce I just buy the small tin version and just mix it up with a fork and spread it on soft bread.
I eat it either on a slice of syrup loaf (Google Syrup loaf or Sirapslimpa if you want to know what that is) or a slice of toasted wheat or whole grain bread with butter and ideally sliced hardboiled eggs. It goes Butter, Kaviar, Eggs. If you put the kaviar on top and you're not careful the eggs can fall off (Yes I clumsy). With the butter and kaviar on the bottom the eggs get sorta glued onto the sandwich hehe :) It is also a very common thing to put on boiled eggs in general, soft- or hardboiled doesn't matter. In fact, in my mind when I was growing up Kalles Kaviar was more associated with eggs than bread because in daycare/preschool when they gave us breakfast they often used to give us chocolate milk (Milk+chocolate powder called Oboy in Sweden) and sandwiches with butter and sliced eggs on them and I would always put Kalles on top. That particular combo of the sweet of the chocolate milk and salt of the kaviar is a precious feelgood taste-memory.
I used to like Kalles kaviar at as a kid but only kaviar and butter, no bread. You can use kaviar on any type of bread, and it’s also popular for boiled egg, where some like to slice the egg up and put it on the sandwich with the kaviar. In Sweden we eat sandwiches for both breakfast and evening food (kvällsmat) and kaviar can be a common things to put on them. We have a lot of different cheeses with varying tastes and I prefer the more mild ones due to my ARFID, my favorite is hushållsost (household cheese). A difference to the uk/us is that our cheeses are blocks which we don’t cut into, but slices/grate with our cheese slicer osthyvel. I love the last tube but in the mild cheese version. There’s a lot of different flavors when it comes to the tubed cheese, such as the bacon cheese one
I love cheese in a tube. There's a lot of different flavours, like plain, ham, salami, reindeer, hot jalapeño, even blue cheese (lovely on ginger snaps), but prawn flavour is a real classic.
I use Kalles on every type of bread. But my favorite is white bread, specifically any type of Polar Bröd. Or on breakfast buns, freshly baked. Best way to eat a Kalles sandwich is with butter and newly hard boiled, sliced eggs on top. My favorite type of Kalles is either the more smoked one with fuller taste or the striped one with cream cheese. I do not like dill, but Kalles have a dill flavoured one and a milder one, I don't know if Svennes is cheaper than Kalles but I look at it as the budget version of Kalles.
On the topic of plastic and recycling; there is a very good video on youtube (with subtitles) on how waste is dealt with in Sweden. It´s called "Rundvandring på Gärstad avfallsanläggning". I believe it would make an interesting sweden reaction video.
Sweden has some very good hard cheeses such as Västerbotten, Präst and Herrgård. Just make sure that they are aged properly (6 months or preferable more). There are also some cheeses of the more exotic sorts such as Mesost for the more adventurous ones.
Don´t forget to try Abbas caviar in glaslid can, red or black. both works fine and is a tradition put it on half cuted eggs. That is the tradition can during easter or christmas., also it works with toasted bread with butter.
You should try cream cheese with the taste of crayfish. With most cream cheese tubes small pieces of shrimp, bacon, ham or whatever is added in the cream. Crayfish cheese is on the contrary mixed with crayfish juice which adds saltiness and differentiates from the other cream cheese`s. Also if you let cream cheese in tubes dry for a while in room temperature it will actually taste like regular cheese.
you can eat kaviar on pretty much any bread, egg and kaviar is a very common combination. The tube-cheese is not ''fake'' cheese, it is literally hard cheese that is melted and mixed with salt and water + flavoring like actual shrimp or ham.
I’m swedish and I usually eat kalles kaviar with a piece of toasted bread, a thin (or thick, depending on preference) spread of kalles and then a cut up hard boiled egg on top. But I don’t recommend you drink something other than water after you’ve eaten kalles because it does not taste good, wait for a bit (like 10-15 minutes) before you drink anything else after having eaten kalles, the taste really sticks in your mouth.
You can have kalles kaviar on normal bread, What you should try is Kalles on bread and put cheese slices on top of the kaviar. that's good. You can put Kalles on Egg, that I think many do. schrimpcheese is the best one of them.
You can eat kaviar on bread. I'm not the biggest fan of kaviar as it is very strong/salty but i still miss it and buy it once a year for my household. Its like olives, you can learn to eat it later in life or you never learn. But is also a staple in many Swedish households. Nicest way to eat it would prob be some kind of bugette/white bread, boiled eggs and maby cucumber. And get the original one and one diluted with cream so you can see the difference.
We have excellent hard cheese, Västerbottenost, Grevéost, prästost... The best way to enjoy Kalles Kaviar is knäckebröd with butter, sliced egg and then kaviar on top. Räkost is good, eat it on Hönökaka, it is a swedish kind of flat bread. But they should have started with the räkost, since it is mild. I guess their reaction on the cheese is because of all the kaviar they had.
Caviar on eggs that are on toast yes or that hardbread. Caviar on cheese yes and whatever bread we fancy. Eggyolks mixed with caviar and mayo i think then piped bac into the eggwhite like devils eggs. And cheese boy do we have a variety of cheeses from mild to well preserved and yes we like brie, we also have our own blue cheese like Stilton but it´s swedish. And also that caviar comes in many levels of saltyness, also one with dill yes we love dill in this country so much so that we even have chive and dill flavored crisps.

My favourite hard cheese is Kvibille Cheddar, esp. the 12-month aged variant. So good.
Or just plain lagrad prästost (preferably 18 months or more).
Just as good as Västerbotten in most context.
I like both, but I use them for different purposes. But I guess your point stands.
The good thing about food in tube (Kalles, mayo, mustard, tomato paste, different kinds of cream cheese) is that it doesn’t need to be stored in the fridge and the tube packaging will prolong the shelf life.

White bread with butter, Kalles Kaviar and sliced hardboiled eggs is something i highly recommend.
Yes, we even have a traditional cheezy dessert: Deep fried cheese with cloudberry jam and deep fried parsley.
If Parmesan is the King of cheese then the Queen of cheese is Västerbotten Cheese! Västerbotten cheese over surströmming or a good Västerbotten cheese pie!
Kaviar....So good. I eat two lingonbread every morning with butter, kaviar and egg. Perfect breakfast. Not on knäckebröd but you can have it yes. The Lingongrova bread I eat is a dark bread.
Tubed cheese is called mjukost, meaning soft cheese. But a better name would be smältost, meaning melt cheese. There’s nothing fake about it, it’s made from hard cheese that melts from certain salts. It’s really good, and handy when camping etc. You can use it for cooking also, shrimp cheese soup is really good. 😋
And swedens most famous cheese i think is Västerbottensost. It's made only in västerbotten in a Village called busträsk. And it's very good but not cheap 😅
The crackingbread, kales, egg and a cup of coffee on the side. Chef’s kiss 😋 Or you can just have an egg in a cup and put Kalles all over that thang. Yum yum!
French people are actually extremely found of Kalles. Every time I visit my friends in Paris they demand I bring a couple of tubes of Kalles.
Kaviar is Sweden's gift to the Nordics. We eat it in Finland and I think it's even more common in Norway. Finland has the "bread cheese" Norway has the brown cheese but I'm not sure if Sweden has any unique cheeses of their own. I suppose they do but never heard of it either
We actually have a lot of hard cheeses. Known brands are Grevé, Präst and Herrgård. They can be found in any store.
Västerbotten is popular as well. Very tasty one. And there is ALOT of tube cheese to choose from. Hot Jalapeno, schrimp, crayfish, ham, bacon, diffirent mushrooms cheese, chorizo, reindeer etc etc etc
Västerbottenost. Svecia. Herrgård. Wrångebäcksost. Ädel. Boxholms Gräddost. Boxholms kryddost. Svarta Sara...
Yes to shrimp and cheese, an amazing combo. And YES it is actual cheese. Soft cheese in tubes are a big thing. Dwayne, when you come to Sweden you need to try the classic cheese in a tube: Raketost. (Rocket cheese)
I sometimes eat kalles kaviar with eggs but not on Knäckebröd but instead on bread rolls. It's very tasty 😊👍. It's also very common for us Swedes to eat Kaviar with eggs.
Many of these delicious soft cheeses with different ingredients - bacon, shrimp, ham, crayfish etc - is also available in trays which allows you to empty the contents completely. The tubes are handy but sometimes difficult to completely empty
Ikea sells Kalles basically everywhere on the planet.
we have kalles on souerdough, baugette, knäckebröd, fried fish...
yes egg and kalkes is a thing
Why do they HATE butter.. no swede would eat anything that they eaten without putting butter first on there crakers or any other sort of bread!
I have watched a lot of foreginers trying swedish food.. especialy sandwich food.. where is the butter.. where is the butter??
Soo.. the swedish name for sandwich is "Smörgås", Smör =butter and gås in this context is whats goes along withe bread and butter! So one supose to put someting els on top of that.. in this case egg and Kalles! Or egg and sill!
✋ It’s funny you say no Swede would, but I actually never put butter on anything when eating Kaviar. Kaviar and butter don’t mix well imo. Next time don’t speak for everyone when stating YOUR opinion. Thx
The Abba food company has been around since 1838. The music group Abba just happened to get the same name because they used the initials of the group members.
Yes Kalles + Eggs is a classic combination. I don't eat boiled eggs any other way.
I only eat Kalles kaviar with eggs, usually on a sandwich. I don’t eat knäckebröd that often though. I like knäckebröd but it’s not very filling. I only eat the original Kalles kaviar - krav obviously if I can find it.
Spreadable liver paté is a very common on breakfast sandwiches. Egg with Kalles kaviar is also a common breakfast item. Kalles is also a bit like vegemite where you either love it or hate it. Kalles even made a commercial were they travelled to Tokyo, L.A. and NYC and offered free samples to people on the street and then only showed people not enjoying the flavour and the ending with the slogan "Kalles, A very Swedish flavour".
Kalles Kaviar on a buttered knäckebröd with slices of hard boiled egg is a perfect combination.
As a swede. I Only eat Kaviar on Any type of bread with butter, Eggs.
I often take Kalles with me abroad for the hotel breakfast eggs. The best!
We have a lot of different good cheeses in Sweden. Especially hard cheeses. And yes we eat brie here. it is very popular on baguettes together with salami.
I like shrimp cheese, but I don't eat it regularly, it's more like I bring it if I go out into the forest with some bread. Really convenient 😅
Egg and Kaviar is the magic combination on bread, but kaviar and cheese is also suprisingly tasty together. I rarely eat kaviar alone on bread. Some people also add chives. Kaviar is an aquired taste. Easier for kids to like it, adults is a hit or miss for the first time taste. But in general, kaviar should be eaten together with something, like mustard, you would never eat it on its own.
Cheese is one topic where I’ll go ”yeah, we have it and it’s generally very good…. but danes do it a lot better than us.”
A good danish cheese smells like 10 gymbags but the taste is orgasmic!
We often eat Kalle's Caviar on a bread called Hönökaka and Knäckebröd. Räkost are best spread on the sandwich. All are good with butter before putting on the toppings.
Kalles on half of a boiled Egg, as it is , is SuuuperNice !!! .. add Knäckebröd+Butter..and it`s even better.. Me, I like it with a Glass of cold Apple Juice.. / btw Dwayne, you really need to try the Classic "Tunnbrödrulle med Räksallad".. it`s soooo good...It is a rolled thin Potato-bread filled with a Hotdog/sausage + mushed Potatoes+ Mustard/Ketchup + the odd addative Shrimpsalad..,(Potato bread is a reeealy old kind of bread originaly baked in an old open oven maintained by an open fire.. )
The boy KALLE is still living. He is about 72 years and has free kaviar all his life
We have lots of cheese in Sweden, most common are hard cheese, and we use cheeseslicers (Norwegian invention) and not knives like barbarians.
We also have cheese in tubes: shrimpcheese, baconcheese, dillcheese, about as many different flavours as potatochips has.
Hard cheeses:
Västerbotten (used for pie to eat with the crayfish)
Prästost(Priest), Grevéost(Count), Herrgårdsost(Manor), Svecia, Hushållsost(Household), Gräddost(Cream)
and lots more.
The cheese in those tubes are cream cheese. It is a type of cheese that is not matured as long as regular sheese. So it is still made from milk and got of lacto asids from milk. It is basicly sheese that is put in a tube before it goes harder and becomes a regular cheese.
And fake cheese is often just difrent kinds of fats ans acids that is combinated to behave as cheese. It is not often used in Sweden at all. But som crappy pizzas thar you buy frozen and just heat in you owen has "cheese like products" aka fake cheese rather than real cheese.
If you go to the deli section of an avrage grossery store you often can get nice goumet cheeses from Sweden there.
Eggs with Kaviar is a classic, doesn't matter if you put it on bread or not. The kind of bread doesn't even matter either, it's good on both knäckebröd and soft bread.
butter first then spread it out, thats the best way if your not a swed, u can also have sliced cheese on it thats tasty.
Just going to mention that shrimpcheese (which is slightly smoky melty shrimpy cheeseness) is super good as a outdoor, carry with you when out walking in nature, seefoody goodness. I'm quite certain that they're made of actual cheese, so no fake cheese.
Knäckebröd with Kalles, or in a more rich breakfast sandwich is usually used for either breakfast (majority of the time) or in a snack or for some on top of eggs during christmas.
I have Kalles on softbread with butter and eggs, so good! I spread the kaviar on the bread like butter and then put boiled eggs on it. Räkost is soooo good my god, there is also one with ham (skinkost) its amazing!
Yes, Kalles kaviar (or any of the other swedish brands) is perfect for cracker bread, but I'm puting butter on first. Kaviar also works perfect with boiled eggs, sliced on bread or just as it is. Another speciality I love is leftovers from fresh bolied potatoes sliced on the buttered bread (preferebly swedish cracker bread), kaviar on the potatoes and toped with a litle of dill and chives on the kaviar.... delicious! Several of the most common brands of kaviar has a "mild" version, that isn't so edgy, but with alot of the smoked taste, those I like best. Kaviar is also great at buttered toast.
About cheese; Yes, there are swedish cheese. Some of the typical swedish cheeses are Västerbotten, Svecia, Herrgård, Grevé and Prästost.
Traditionally we bake a big batch knäckebröd once a year to get it to last until next time. It will probably last for several years if stored dry and cool.
In Sweden you can have the same brand name if they cover totally different areas.
Shrimp cheese is really good, it's not fake cheese but it's actually real cheese softened with melting salts.
Vegan caviar is actually quite good but it's not the same as real roe, it's its own thing.
1:10 we have so many different types of cheese, soft cheese, hard cheese, etc.
I am Swedish and eat boiled eggs with kaviar EVERY morning for breakfast. But I prefer Svenne's kaviar over Kalle's, since it is a bit milder in taste.
Thank you for posting. I had no idea that tube food is a particular Swedish thing, so I learned something new today.
I like Spiced cheese 🧀 its a type of cheese with added spices. In Swedish, the term usually refers to a gritty hard cheese seasoned with, among other things, cumin, and where cloves and cumin can also be included. 🐭 This type of seasoned cheese is similar to a seasoned version of Swedish cheese, and there are several manufacturers in Sweden. Seasoned cheese is eaten, among other things, at midsummer and on crayfish slices and is also considered an important topping on crisp bread for the festive meal "pea soup and punch".
Boiled eggs and Kalles Kaviar on any type of preferably buttered bread (including sourdough) is a Swedish breakfast staple. Typical Swedish cheeses include Västerbottenost (named after the geographical region) and Prästost (means vicar or priest cheese). Hard salty cheeses kind of similar to cheddar. There are other cheeses as well.
The soft-cheese shrimp thing is just cheese, water, shrimp and melting salts. The melting salts emulsify the cheese with water to get a spreadable thing.
yes also on soft bread we use this paste of kalles to in a way glue slice of egg on to the bread.
Eggs in half, topped with some seafood (prawn, cray fish e.g.) and a line of Kalles... Maybe some mayo... Nomnom. Nomnomnom! Perhaps on a slice of dark bread... And you get a reason for drinking a snaps!!!
I sometimes crave for plain white bread, a good cheese and some Kalles on top. That and a glass of Ice-cold O'boy afterwards. Oh... Those memories...
The head office moved to Stockholm in the 1850s and in 1906 the company AB Bröderne Ameln was registered, which was shortened to the Abba brand. In 1928, the company started manufacturing in Kungshamn. The band ABBA was way later so the foodbrand Abba aint infringing at all, the band is more infringing on the name. 😏
I've had Kalles Kaviar on sliced hard boiled eggs on hard bread every morning for 40 years :p
The Makrill in tomato sauce I just buy the small tin version and just mix it up with a fork and spread it on soft bread.
a toast with butter eggs and kaviar is yummy
We use tubed shrimp cheese as training treat for our dog. 🐩 Work great and keep even if it's not stored in the refrigerator.
I eat it either on a slice of syrup loaf (Google Syrup loaf or Sirapslimpa if you want to know what that is) or a slice of toasted wheat or whole grain bread with butter and ideally sliced hardboiled eggs. It goes Butter, Kaviar, Eggs. If you put the kaviar on top and you're not careful the eggs can fall off (Yes I clumsy). With the butter and kaviar on the bottom the eggs get sorta glued onto the sandwich hehe :)
It is also a very common thing to put on boiled eggs in general, soft- or hardboiled doesn't matter.
In fact, in my mind when I was growing up Kalles Kaviar was more associated with eggs than bread because in daycare/preschool when they gave us breakfast they often used to give us chocolate milk (Milk+chocolate powder called Oboy in Sweden) and sandwiches with butter and sliced eggs on them and I would always put Kalles on top.
That particular combo of the sweet of the chocolate milk and salt of the kaviar is a precious feelgood taste-memory.
I used to like Kalles kaviar at as a kid but only kaviar and butter, no bread. You can use kaviar on any type of bread, and it’s also popular for boiled egg, where some like to slice the egg up and put it on the sandwich with the kaviar. In Sweden we eat sandwiches for both breakfast and evening food (kvällsmat) and kaviar can be a common things to put on them. We have a lot of different cheeses with varying tastes and I prefer the more mild ones due to my ARFID, my favorite is hushållsost (household cheese). A difference to the uk/us is that our cheeses are blocks which we don’t cut into, but slices/grate with our cheese slicer osthyvel. I love the last tube but in the mild cheese version. There’s a lot of different flavors when it comes to the tubed cheese, such as the bacon cheese one
I love cheese in a tube. There's a lot of different flavours, like plain, ham, salami, reindeer, hot jalapeño, even blue cheese (lovely on ginger snaps), but prawn flavour is a real classic.
I use Kalles on every type of bread. But my favorite is white bread, specifically any type of Polar Bröd. Or on breakfast buns, freshly baked. Best way to eat a Kalles sandwich is with butter and newly hard boiled, sliced eggs on top. My favorite type of Kalles is either the more smoked one with fuller taste or the striped one with cream cheese.
I do not like dill, but Kalles have a dill flavoured one and a milder one, I don't know if Svennes is cheaper than Kalles but I look at it as the budget version of Kalles.
On the topic of plastic and recycling; there is a very good video on youtube (with subtitles) on how waste is dealt with in Sweden. It´s called "Rundvandring på Gärstad avfallsanläggning".
I believe it would make an interesting sweden reaction video.
Sweden has some very good hard cheeses such as Västerbotten, Präst and Herrgård. Just make sure that they are aged properly (6 months or preferable more). There are also some cheeses of the more exotic sorts such as Mesost for the more adventurous ones.
In Sweden we always use butter on knäckebröd. So knäcke+butter+kaviar is great!
Don´t forget to try Abbas caviar in glaslid can, red or black. both works fine and is a tradition put it on half cuted eggs. That is the tradition can during easter or christmas., also it works with toasted bread with butter.
You should try cream cheese with the taste of crayfish. With most cream cheese tubes small pieces of shrimp, bacon, ham or whatever is added in the cream. Crayfish cheese is on the contrary mixed with crayfish juice which adds saltiness and differentiates from the other cream cheese`s. Also if you let cream cheese in tubes dry for a while in room temperature it will actually taste like regular cheese.
you can eat kaviar on pretty much any bread, egg and kaviar is a very common combination.
The tube-cheese is not ''fake'' cheese, it is literally hard cheese that is melted and mixed with salt and water + flavoring like actual shrimp or ham.
Yes. Kaviar works on all breads. Some are better some are worse. Yes it so good with eggs, using kaviar instead of salt.
Kalles kaviar + egg on bread is VERY normal in sweden.
If you want to try a Swedish cheese, the "Västerbottenost" is what you really should try. It's amazing.
My family always eat boiled eggs with Kalles kaviar 😊. Bread, butter, egg and kaviar is a fantastic breakfast.
I’m swedish and I usually eat kalles kaviar with a piece of toasted bread, a thin (or thick, depending on preference) spread of kalles and then a cut up hard boiled egg on top. But I don’t recommend you drink something other than water after you’ve eaten kalles because it does not taste good, wait for a bit (like 10-15 minutes) before you drink anything else after having eaten kalles, the taste really sticks in your mouth.
You can have kalles kaviar on normal bread, What you should try is Kalles on bread and put cheese slices on top of the kaviar. that's good. You can put Kalles on Egg, that I think many do. schrimpcheese is the best one of them.
You can eat kaviar on bread. I'm not the biggest fan of kaviar as it is very strong/salty but i still miss it and buy it once a year for my household. Its like olives, you can learn to eat it later in life or you never learn. But is also a staple in many Swedish households. Nicest way to eat it would prob be some kind of bugette/white bread, boiled eggs and maby cucumber. And get the original one and one diluted with cream so you can see the difference.
We have excellent hard cheese, Västerbottenost, Grevéost, prästost...
The best way to enjoy Kalles Kaviar is knäckebröd with butter, sliced egg and then kaviar on top.
Räkost is good, eat it on Hönökaka, it is a swedish kind of flat bread. But they should have started with the räkost, since it is mild. I guess their reaction on the cheese is because of all the kaviar they had.
You can eat kalles kaviar om everything that is bred! Works with warm chocolate and egg.
Caviar on eggs that are on toast yes or that hardbread. Caviar on cheese yes and whatever bread we fancy. Eggyolks mixed with caviar and mayo i think then piped bac into the eggwhite like devils eggs. And cheese boy do we have a variety of cheeses from mild to well preserved and yes we like brie, we also have our own blue cheese like Stilton but it´s swedish. And also that caviar comes in many levels of saltyness, also one with dill yes we love dill in this country so much so that we even have chive and dill flavored crisps.
We do not put shrimp-cheese on eggs, at least in Finland. Kalles on eggs is fine. Kalles kaviar is salty/sweet but not fishy at all, its good try it
