Wow, thanks so much for all the info, and the history of knackebrod! Interesting to learn and hopefully our Swedish pronunciation will improve in the future with your help here. Thanks so much! :)
@@3sclubfood Anytime! Love your youtube content! I am half American half Swedish, but living here in Sweden since 2007.. If you have any questions I am always up for explaining. I have studied Norse/Swedish culture at the university including cuisine. Watching you try stuff really makes my day. Reminds me of when my mom's side of the family comes here to Sweden for a visit.
When I was a kid I used to have those cardamom skorpor with orange marmalade and mild, hard cheese and a glas of chocolate milk. I loved it, haven't had them since then though.
Knäckebröd need some topping! Try butter and some good cheese. Maybe a dutch one like gouda? And on top of that add some vegetables like cucumber or pepper. In Sweden they are popular to eat for breakfast if ur in a hurry:)
”Skorpor” is something I have, with some butter on, along with glasses of blueberry soup………on days when my stomach feels very bad…… And in Sweden, we class ”knäckebröd” as bread. 😊👍🏼
Skorpor do seem like they'd be good for a bad tummy, and blueberry soup sounds interesting! We tried knackebrod as open sandwiches in our latest video :) Thanks!
@@3sclubfood yeah usually when I was homesick as a child I would eat skorpor with butter and cheese (and sometimes with orange marmalade too with the cheese)
So what we basically do in Sweden with the Skorpor Kardemumma is have some butter on it with maybe a slice of cheese on top but this also depends on who you are! Nut they also work very good with a cup of coffee! this also goes for the flat bread/crispbread is that you should have some butter and a slice of cheese with maybe some jam on!
Arrack is a sweet liquoir made of distilled molasses. In Sweden we make a liqueur called Punsch made of arrack, we use to drink this hot together with split yellow pea soup and Swedish (thin) pancakes usually on thursdays. We also have an other old candy (from 1950) from Sweden called punschpraliner with a more pronounced taste of arrack/punsch. I love IKEA's elderflower drink concentrate at summer, and lingonberry drink concentrate for lunch/dinner.
Thanks so much for the info on arrack and how it's used. We love both those Ikea juices too, and have a hard time deciding which to get if we eat there!
Hi! Very interesting video, again!, i would use butter on the skorpor and the round hard bread. Your swedish is perfect as usual, maybe because you look swedish. You are both so charming too.
We tried skorpor and knackebrod with butter and cheese in this video: ruclips.net/video/Q4zyn1rS9Dc/видео.html But you're right, they are better with toppings! Thanks :)
Personally I have butter on the skorpor and on the knäckebröd... And also cold cuts/and or cheese on knäckebröd...and sometimes marmelade on skorpor... Love from Stockholm Sweden
Knäckebröd needs topping. At least butter but also cheese, boiled egg, kaviar, liverpaté and some veggies. Skorpor could be eaten with butter, cheese and marmelade. Also dipped in tea or coffee or eaten with hot milk in a bowl.
4:30 The bottoms are the tastiest (less bitterness from burn). But you need some butter on these as well. Some cheese and/or orange marmelade on top of the butter is good too. Preferably eaten with coffee, tea, milk or drinking chocolate on the side.
My favorite way of eating knäckebröd is with butter, cheese and some thinly sliced cucumber. If you're feeling brave you can have some Swedish kaviar between the butter and the cheese. Swedish Kaviar has a very strong salty, fishy taste so don't use too much when you first try it. Make sure it's separate the kaviar from the cucumber if you combine those two because the water from cucumbers will make it gooey and runny and it's not as good.
That sounds pretty good. We did try some Kalles in a video and it wasn't too bad! We should definitely try it this way next time we get some. Thanks! :)
Skorpor and knäckebröd is the swedish version of hardtacks. Winter survival food bascially was the purpose originally :) Now it's just such an aquired taste and ingrained in the scandinavian dna its a stable food.
Try to dipp your crisp rolls in coffee. Cardemom is used to flavour coffee in the eastern corner of Mediterranean Sea On your crispbread… Some butter and cheese
We tried those, and more, in a more recent video. ruclips.net/video/Q4zyn1rS9Dc/видео.html You are right, those toppings are needed for best experience :) Thanks!
We have cardamom in most of our cakes in Sweden, most in cinnamon buns, either we do cardamom buns with cardamom filling and cardamom in the dough. we often put cardamom in the dough when we make regular cinnamon buns.
@@marcusfridh8489 Ooo, we looked those up and they look scrumptious! We've been really busy lately but will have to see if we can bake some one day. Thank you!
Agreed, it's better with butter and especially marmalade. We try that out in this video ruclips.net/video/Q4zyn1rS9Dc/видео.html if you'd like to check it out :) Thanks!
Skorpor is literally rusk. Twice baked bread. It lasts for years if kept dry. Å - Oh , rohg pronounced similar to rouge - råg Ä - Eh, Vore shensla - vårkänsla ö - Uh, bruhd pronounced similar to blood with a lilt to bud uhhhhhhhhh... - bröd
3.56, you suppose to have butter and a slice of cheese on it, same with 6.20, you really have to use butter and cheese otherwise it´s not tasty//me from sweden
never seen any of these, but the brand says IKEA, so its their own brand wich u only get in IKEA and it must be a new thing.. never seen it her ein swedish Ikea
A commenter suggested that maybe Ikea tones down some flavors to cater to American palates. Sounds like it makes sense, although disappointing (to us) we're not getting the true tastes, if that's the case. 🙂
The "Å" is pronounced a bit like tha "aw" in "hawk". "Ä" is pronounced a bit like the "ai" in "fair". Knäckebröd is bread that should be served with condiments. They're never eaten on their own. Cheese, butter, paprika, smoked reindeer meat and tomatoes are some suggestions. Oh, yeah, "Marabou" is a Stork... and a Swedish company brand named after said stork. They used to have the stork in their logo in the latter half of the last century somewhere.
With all the helpfulness we should be able to pronounce Swedish words properly soon. :) Wow, reindeer meat, never knew that existed, but makes sense. Poor Rudolph though, lol And interesting tidbit about Marabou chocolate! Thanks so much!
We imagine Ikea snacks aren't the best example, but hopefully one day we can figure out how to have a more authentic Swedish snack experience! :) Thank you!
@@3sclubfood Marabou is like THE chocolate here for many. When we went on holidays with long road trips as a kid it was thing thing mom brought out to keep us kids at bay.. ;) My fav is the normal or "Frukt & Mandel" (the almond and raisin one).

@@3sclubfood There are some Reese´s at the closest store, justa five min bicycle ride from me, I am tempted to get sometomorrow now.. Oh I do understand why he loves them! :D
Ah - as for the kardemumma, "cardamom" google translate tells me. Buns often have cinnamon or cardamom here - or both! I ike both actaully. Perfect stuff witha cup of coffee for "fika" - you´ve heard about "fika", right? :)
Cardamom is Rebecca's fav new spice. Must be cool to have cardamom in more of your foods. We've heard of fika, from a Swedish crew member on a podcast we watch.
@@3sclubfood Oh, nice! I did not know until today when i googled, that we in Scandinavia were high consumers. I thought all of Europe and the US used it. I mainly like it in buns, usually with cinnamon but most bakerys don´t mix them. When buying a fika - it can be tough chosing a bun with cinnamon or cardamom then.. ;) Some people put a little cardamom in the coffee before brewing, at Christmas, here. It gives me a bit of Christmas feeling.. I do it sparingly to kinda save it just for that and I am not sure I like it.. ;)
Hmm, guess cardamom competes with cinnamon flavor or something. Might have to be a rebel and mix them just to see why. And Oh. My. Gosh. You can put cardamom in coffee? Welp, I know that tomorrow morning's coffee is going to be experimented with!
My view on the IKEA stuff, their "own" stuff not like marabou, that they sell, is that it is quite cheap and kinda bland. But that is okay, becuase it is most of the time cheap.. For example the beer they have, here, as well as the chips, is pretty simple, bland ones. But since the price is low - I´m fine with it. Same for a lot of the food they sell, the foo you buy an take home, not the bistro. Like the hot ogs, the jam etc. But it is what it says on the tin - like the lingon berry jam is lingonberry jam, even if a bit sweet and I guess, a little mroe sugar than I prefer. Same for like their sodas etc. I usually buy some food when I go to IKEA, I have two of them about the same distance from me, just under an hour with public transport to both, subway and bus for one, commuter train and bus for the other. I´ve hear that Swedes abroad appreciate them since you can get Swedish food-equivalents.. ;) There to feel a little home.
Agreed, Ikea's foods not gourmet but, it's a fun and different experience most of the time. The only store we like shopping and eating in. Funny how we go to Ikea for something different, and a Swede would go for something familiar. 😊
@@3sclubfood Oh yeah! That is pretty fun. Here they have a restaurant inside and a "Bistro" just outside the cashiers. mayeb the same here? The bistro has all the food you can buy home as well as real cheap hot ogs, cinnamon buns, coffee, some pan pizzas. The hot dogs are like half a dollar. if they have the chocolate "balls" over there, they might be worth a try. Oat, butter, sugar, cocoa and coffee kinda rolled into a ball, sometimes covered in chocotate and either coca flakes or pearl sugar. I like the chocolate taste with that hint of coffee.
Yep, we have the bistro area. We got some odd looks for buying 6 packs of knackebrod there last time. (Ikea's a fairly big drive for us) Not sure we've noticed those chocolate balls, but will def be on the lookout now, thanks!
