There is a much nastier fish you missed out on. The very much infamous "surströmming"... Then again, most swedish people wont touch it either so perhaps good that you did not try it.
Hey, om swedish and yes oreo chocolate is popular in Sweden, The swedish fish im kinda tierd of beacause it’s original in Sweden and only tast like strawberries but sometimes it doesn’t taste like it, Thoes black Sour gummies is called lakrits, it’s like law and krist, I know kinda weird haha 😝, and plop is good I kinda like that but u may get a little soggy on the fingers and sticky, And the vegan thing I kinda don’t like so much, the bread that u said was kinda dry but tasted healthy is called, Knäckebröd. Its a sort of bread that is dry and doesn’t taste so much, Some people loves knäckebröd. And the other stuff u tried is a 10/10 but you sould next time try Swedish drinks or Swedish Snacks, like popcorn or chips and the dip would make is better(dip it’s like a sauce u dip the chips in) by the way I love your videos and when you try other countries food! Hope you will read this! ❤
I wouldn't say these are five snacks, it's one snack and four kinds of candy. And the Oreo chocolate bar is probably the one that is the least like any other Marabou chocolate bar. The salt on the Salta S is not sodium chloride, liquorice become salty by adding another salt - ammonium chloride, or salmiak. Salmiak is very potent and is very diluted with sugar even for this extra salty candy. If you really want good liquorice you should visit Finland, they really make the best liquorice and salty liquorice. A small note on the translation app: Adjö has become a sort of archaic to say farewell ("farväl" is archaic as well). We simply say "hej då".
I swear, 99% of swedes secret hobby is watching foreign people try our salt candy. Its kinda hilarious as it so normal to us, even so we completely understand the absollute shock it must be to non-scandenavians. Im quite impressed how far you went with it. most immediately spit it out and never touch it again. And, yes, at least from what Ive heard from other foreign people, it is an aquired taste. Even tho many never give it a second chance, some do and it seems they've come to like it. I cant really vouch for this as I, probably like most swedes who likes it, has been eating it since before I can really rmember. But some people I know who came here from abroad didnt like it when they got here but like it now so, who am I to argue?
That cracker is what we call "Knäckebröd" which was basically made, along with pickled vegetables, dried fish etc as food to bring with you on long journeys and to survive winters. It's very common thing to eat as breakfast, mostly with butter on and various condiments like ham with cucumber, paprika, tomatoes etc on it. Eating it just with that filling will indeed make it feel dry without anything to drink with it, especially if you're not used to it. There's a lot of different types of Knäckebröd with different types of herbs and spices (not chilis or stuff like that, but seeds etc).
Regarding the "Salt skum" - the unusual ingredient you seemed to be both intrigued and surprised by is ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) aka "salmiak" (typically combined with licorice, sugar and a binding agent). Very popular in northern Europe and kinda nowhere else.
Ohh that’s a cool fact to know! Haven’t heard of or tasted anything like it in the US or Korea, so definitely enjoy learning these bits of info, thank you! 😊
There are lots and lots of candy in Sweden with ammonium chloride @@shelleyseokim I love them. The most well known is in a yellow bag with a monkey on it, it is called Djungelvrål which translated to english would be Roar of the jungle. I have not problem with eating a whole bag 🙂
@@jimsteinmanfan80 When I heard about salty licorice and what it is, it brought to mind a candy I had as a kid in Indonesia, called pastilles. Was I close? I am looking forward to trying it. I've bookmarked a visit to Lakritsroten, are there any other brands you'd recommend?
"As a memory its a ten". Thats a really positive way to see it 😊. I like how you seem very open minded - that an experience doesnt have to simply be either good or bad. ❤
As a swedish person I remember as an adult being so surprised when i realized how foreign people struggled eating salmiak, or our salty licorice. But i've eaten it since i was a kid, whole bags of it. AndI never even considered them weird or special.
The "cracker" is crisp bread made with rye and its eaten as a breakfast food. Its quite healthy and stays edible for a long time. It probably rose to prominence because it can be eaten much later than it was made. It was actually used in military rations for that reason.

The sandwhich isn't a snack per se, but something we call "mellanmål" (directly translates to "middle meal" but roughly rather means "meal in between meals"). It's just something you're supposed to eat in between meals if suddenly hungry, or maybe add to a quick breakfast if you're travelling or on the road. Oh, and also, "Swedish Fish" isn't normally sold in pre-packed bags in Sweden. You buy them in "lösvikt" (no idea how that translates, but when you pick candy in a paper bag like a la carte).
We never take offense! WE find it hilarious. It is like our Caviar that many do put on that hardbread you ate! Not many like it outside of Scandinavia.
Swedish fish exist here but they're mostly (only?) sold in like pick n mix/bulk confectionery whatever the term is in English where you use a ladle to mix your favourites in a bag and pay by weight It's called pastellfisk here though, pastel fish, like crayons
I am glad you like our candy and i smiled when you tried the Salt skum. I eat those once per week and there is other candy that is even more salty then these :)
4:37 The crisp bread is the whole point. But you'll want a fluid with it. It's essentially a meal. It's not intended as snack as such but say a lunch or something on the go.
@@shelleyseokim It's definitely a healthier breakfast then what Americans usually eat for breakfast. And it's really convenient. Instead of containing preservatives it's just dry. The stuff in between on that one isn't quite as dry. But it's possible to eat with things that's canned or dried too. Meaning that some crisp bread like that and with other thing that holds for literally years you can have a breakfast ready in a cabin that you bought and brought there perhaps 3-4 years earlier and it's still good food and ready to bring with you out when going skiing. What you bought... It doesn't last as long... To put it mildly...
that is skum(foam), it feels a bit weaker than the harder ones, but might just be the texture that make it feel like that...the S candy is kiddie liquorice Djungelvrål was my favorite candy before I reached double digit in age
Scandinavians (specially Finland and Sweden) love their salty licorice (and sweet licorice). There's one called "Svenskjävlar" that is made right around the corner that's intense, I can't eat more than a few at a time and I love salty licorice. A current (past couple of years) growing trend is dadels "spiced" after different flavors, including licorice, some candy types (like the small prepacked bags you saw at the stores) or different ground nuts.
It's funny how you reacted to the sweet licorice vs the salty. The sweet one was in Gott & Blandat. Licorice is an acquired taste, if you like salt and sweet, that's what it fullfills. It's really good paired with dark chocolate
The paprika snack is actualy Swedish Rye Bead, the rye bread is also nice to buy alone (without flavor) and add Butter and a thin layer of "kalles kaviar" (Smoked fish rowe)
"plopp" is the sound a bubble makes when it pops. Or when a drop of water hits a water surface. Or when you open the lid on a pressurized glass jar and you hear a "plopp" because of the pressure difference.
Thing is swedish fish is not actually a swedish thing. It originated in sweden but its more of a american thing now, and most swedish people have never even tried it before. Almost forgot swedish fish was originally meant for the american people not the swedish.
I watched your video where you explored Swedish culture, and it was quite entertaining! When you tried the Swedish candy, "Salt Skum," I couldn't help but chuckle at your reaction to its saltiness. If you thought that was salty, I must recommend you try another Swedish candy called "Djungelvrål" (Jungle Roar). As the name suggests, it's even saltier, and it might give you quite the taste bud challenge! It would be interesting to see your reaction to it in a future video. Keep up the great content!
Hiii, I’m a Swede and I think it’s so fun to see other people around the world test Swedish Candy/snacks/food! The hard bread is actually called “knäckebröd” in Swedish and it is just hard bread😊 btw I think you chose the perfect snacks/candies to start with💗
"Swedish fish" is actually an american candy produced by a swedish company. We have them here too, but we call them "pastellfiskar" and and you can usually find them as a pick and mix candy. But the liqourice version, "salt sill" is more famous here.
Much food in Sweden have a lot of salt in or on it. I guess it is in bedded in our gens sins the middle ages when we use salt to prolong and store the food. The premade crackers is a meal that you can take on the go and that keep you fed for a long time because of the fiber. You should have tried polkagris or polka-cains if you haven't tried before
This video was hilarious! :D As a Swede, honestly I also find it really difficult to eat “salt skum” as I really don’t like licorice lol Tack för den här videon :D Oh and btw “plopp” doesn’t really mean anything in Swedish, it’s more of a “nonsense word” but it can be used as “pop!” (Like a sound effect kinda..? 😭) Also if you haven’t tried it already, you should try “daim” chocolate! It’s really good in my opinion :>
@@Luredreier Oh okay, but I just saw how she talked a little about it in the video and I love Daim so I thought it was a good idea for her to try it. :)
We do have Swedish Fish, basically the exact same look. But they are in the "plockgodis" section only in our Grocery stores or candy stores. Plockgodis is like an isle of individual candies that you choose freely from to create your own candy bag. I don't know the english word sorry!
It's not the same product. Swedish Fish was originally made by Malaco, which also makes pastellfiskar, but it was made specifically for the American market. They look different, taste different and have a different texture. Not exactly worlds apart, but still different
Spot on with the licorice. I had to learn to like it as a Swede, but I'm the odd man. It's easier if you start with sweet licorice. (I loved kimchi from the very start.)
The closest thing to Swedish fish in Sweden that I have found is Hallonbåtar (Raspberry boats), usually found in conjuction with liqouric boats Lakritsbåtar.
There are several stuff that is saltier than salt. In the most northern countries, we have always had problem finding salt since it originally came from evaporated ocean/salt water (evaporation require heat). We are hardwired to like salt since it was uncommon until lately (100 y ago). Salmiak is THE saltiest stuff in existence.
A tip for the next visit: If you go to a candy department in Finland, half the content is black -- licorice and salmiak. They know what they love and managed to make a wonderful chocolate-salmiak mix 15-20 years ago (that was copied by us in Sweden). It shouldn't be possible, like putting chocolate on potatoes, but they did it. Sheer sisu and a Manhattan (/Esbo?) Project, I'd guess. 😅 I think you can find salmiak-chocolate all the way south as northern Germany and England, we're happy to give salmiak and surströmming back to them, as thanks for their great beers! 🤎
Stockholm and Paris are 1 543,68 km apart. it's like Japan and Taiwan. No gelatin in Gott & Blandat, it's glucose syrup. Adjö is like the french adieu. It's very old. Hallå is Swedish way of answering the phone or calling out to someone to see if they are there, not really for greeting someone. Hej (Pronounced hey) is how we greet someone and to say goodbye we say hej då (pronounced 'hey dough' or 'hey D'oh'. å like Homer Simpsons "D'oh").
@@magnusnilsson9792 No. You don't pronounce å like "aw" in dawn not unless you make dawn sound like down. sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%85 Click on the audio, you sound like you have no comprehension. Also, no adjö is literally etymologically from the french adieu. en.wiktionary.org/wiki/adj%C3%B6 Everything that you said was so wrong I was surprised to see that you spelled things correctly.
Surprise, we don't call it "Swedish fish" in Sweden. Those gummies in the "Gott & Blandat" bag is sort of the original version of Swedish fish though, although the most popular version in Sweden is the salty black licorice version.
As soon as I saw Oreo its already game over! I have utterly high respect for this video just because I will be doing food Vlogging & traveling, this is just a highlight of that huge thumbs up for trying unique snacks! I didn't expect the last snack but wouldn't mind trying it🙌
My exact reaction when I saw the Oreo marabou 🥺 I would love to see your reaction to salt skum someday 😆🔥 And YESS I can imagine your travel-foodie vlogs being so engaging and colorful, can’t wait!! 😋
@@shelleyseokim I would love to try the Oreo, Oreo has been a fav of mine for sure 🤩 I think the salt skum already define its flavor with your reaction😅 jk well honestly im down to try anything that other countries will offer😂 I hope it is, I appreciate your support 🙈 im still mastering the art of editing like yours😌
Anyeong~! These types of videos are always fun, thank you for sharing! I hope you're having a nice time here in Sweden! Marabou (I rhyme it with Caribou) isn't a Swedish word, it's actually the name of a kind of stork, the Marabou Stork. According to Wikipedia the origin could be Amharic. If you visit a convenience store (like ICA, Hemköp, or a Coop) keep your eyes peeled for Ballerina biscuits. I'd say they're more or less our equivalent to Oreos. The standard Ballerina is composed of two biscuits, one vanilla shortbread, and one chocolate, sandwiching a layer of nougat. I'm really impressed that you went back for a second bite of that Salt Skum (Skum roughly translates to Foam, but could also mean suspicious, unsure if it's a play on words since they look like rocks?). That specific type of candy is rather polarising, in the sense that very few are indifferent towards it. Generally people either love it, or hate it. When I visited Massachusetts a few years back, my absolute favourite thing were these little bags of like, I think freeze-dried cheese. They were called Moon Cheese, and my friend urged me to try them when we went by CVS to refill her prescription. I got obsessed! As far as I know, we don't have anything like that here in Sweden. They were so good.😭
Wow, thanks for such a detailed and informative response, Dojan! From just 48 hours of exploring the country, I love Sweden already. I felt very relaxed, even starting from Arlanda airport 🤭 I love nougat, Ballerina biscuits sound yummy 😋 Haha, I wanted to challenge myself with that salt skum! It was such a unique snack, I had to give it my all 😂 not surprised by the polarization in #teamskum, maybe I’ll be a fan someday :) Ohh you got a healthyish yummy snack for an American one 😂 so glad you got to explore this country a bit, hope you enjoyed your international travel(s) too! 🙂 edit: also, annyeong! 🇰🇷
Hi, swede here! Just want to say I loved this video. You are really sweet and have great reactions, and I always laugh seing someone try our salty candy. We swedes do have a lot of liquorice, and it's always fun to see someone foreign try! "Salt Skum" means "salty foam", and it refers to the foamy texture. Im sure other people have said this, but if you wanted to try to the most stereotypical salty liquorice its called "djungelvrål", which translates to "djungle roar" or "roar of the djungle" and its both salty and sticks to your teeth. I could easily eat a packet of salt skum, but a whole packet of djungelvrål?, that takes a while! And also, yeah its not only salt but often other types of acids as well, which gives it extra punch! Even worse is "Svenskjävlar", meaning "swedish bastards" and its crazy sour!! its fun to try though! "Gott och blandat" directly translates to "good and mixed", and its really popular here. There are 2 types of liquorice in that bag, both sweet liquorice, but the harder ones that stick to your teeth is made without gluten, and the honeycomb shaped ones are made with gluten, and are therefore softer! Marabou is just sweet milk chocolate with different flavours and stuff in them, and I personally do not really care for either them or "plopp", its just kind of too sweet!
The thing with some salty candy, like salty S-märke is that the salt is a different kind of salt I think it's Ammoniumchloride instead of Sodiumchloride (regular table salt) and it's called salmiaksalt by some
I don't think I've ever met anyone that doesn't like Plopp. And barely anyone from the US that likes our salt-licorice ^^ Don't worry, absolutely no hard feelings :) It's an acquired taste to be sure. I used to get Gott & Blandat all the time as a kid and I would give all of the licorice to my dad. These days though I love it!
10:07 I've never eaten more than 1 of those at a time. There's a sour version as well. And I can eat 2 of those. I think they can provide an interesting contrast to other candy/snack flavours, in limited quantities.
So about the Swedish Fish. It's a rabbit hole to go down. Because Swedish Fish are actually not Swedish, but they also are... sort of. The original recipe was made by a Swedish candy manufacturer, who then wanted to sell it in North America. But Swedish Fish is made by a company in Canada, so it's not Swedish, and you can't find it in Sweden. But we have our own form, and it's sold in little boxes. I think it's called Zoo here (I'm sure someone in the comments can refresh my memory)? So it's not Swedish, but it is, but it isn't. Make sense? Also, going in for another try of the salt licorice was very brave. Because of our cultural history (salting is one of the best ways to preserve food) Nordic countries use an insane amount of salt and we're used to a lot more than most other cultures. It's okay to not like things too, most people give it a low score and that's fine. I commend you for keeping an open mind and turning into a positive experience though.
So cute asking if anyone eaten this, or a whole bag. Majority of us in all the Nordic countries + Holland eat a lot of liquorice. It's almost equivalent to asking a Korean if you tried kimchi & that comment about sour wasabi, got me too 🤣🤣🤣All the best from Denmark ❤
Salt Skum ❤. It's amazing (imo). Swedish candy is really either really good (like Swedish chocolate) or to the extremes like Salt skum or Patroner. If you're ever in Sweden again you should visit Kandyz or Hemmakväll, they have insane amounts and varieties of candy. Keep going, you have a really good on camera persona.
I noticed the Swedish candy polarity!! Aw wish I knew earlier, they sound fun to explore! on my bucket list for my next visit someday then 🍬 and that’s generous of you to say, thank you!! 😌
@@shelleyseokim Just for some more cultural understanding; ammonium chloride was added to some cough syrups for kids many years ago which meant children were exposed to the flavour and grew to like it. Eventually somebody came up with the idea of making candy with the stuff and, voila: We have salty liquorice.
aw you're the first to say that haha tysm, i've learned through the comments that "hej" is usually more popular :P and i love gummies and stretchy candy, no wonder i had such a blast in sweden ^^
There are different strengths of Kimchi. If you can get hold of big cabbage bits of Kimchi, and fry it - the flavour changes for the better in my opinion. Althou i do love raw kimchi too so im biased
First love your video! Thanks for evening so humble and fun to listen to 😊 I see that this video is old and hope your are doing amazing and staying safe!
1:25 Marabou Oreo, that's like Swedish candy meets American cookies. Ive had oreo's before, they are alright. I prefer the superior Ballerina cookies, totally not cause I'm Swedish. I would suggest you try out Ballerina whenever you get the choice, they are similar to Oreo's but Swedish. 5:16 That's cause we don't technically sell them as "Swedish fish". that's what they are called in USA or Burgerland as I love calling it. Here in Sweden they go under different names, pastellfisk is what they are commonly called. They are also normally sold as part of a mix or sold as part of pick and mix, they normally don't have their own separate packaging/bag. They are sometimes also called "malaco fisk", hopefully this will help you find them easier in the future. 9:30 "I'm sorry" You don't have to be, salty liquorice is quite a regional thing for Sweden and Finland, it's an "acquired taste". I quite love salty liquorice, it helps growing up here and growing up with candies like that. I still remember those salty S from a little neighbourhood kiosk me and my family would go to, buy candy on Saturdays when I was a kid (they would sell big salty S for 1 krona per S).
@@SvengelskaBlondie I bought around 10 more marabou Oreos back in Sweden after this vlog 😅😅 I almost got addicted to sweets again because of it haha. Yes I learned from commenters that Swedish fish is an American thing 🥲, so I started telling my American family and friends this fact! I love hearing about memories people have with their local candy.. and I actually am starting to like salty licorice haha I bought 2 bags of bubs skull candy to share with friends :)
@@shelleyseokim If you like salty licorice, you gotta try a Swedish candy called "djungelvrål". It's a bag of candy with a shouting money on, it has small salty licorice money candies. They are really good, think you would love them if you like salty licorice 🥰. Edit: That's quite allot of Marabou Oreo's, thought they are very nice so I understand that you went a bit ham on them. Funny enough, there are a few differences between pastellfisk and Swedish fish, one being that Swedish fish uses ingredients not allowed in the EU.
Star anise would be a better comparison I think maybe? The distinctive taste comes from anethole which can be found in fennel, star anise and aniseed :)
That Wasa Sandwich is exactly what it says; a (hard bread) sandwich, not a snack :P Oh, and with Plopp and other toffee filled chocolates you put the entire square in your mouth otherwise you would get sticky all over your hands and face!
Swedish Fish, despite their name, are not originally from Sweden. They were created by the Swedish confectionery company Malaco in the late 1950s specifically for the North American market. So they are much more popular in North America and actually pretty rare in Sweden.
Weird how the algoritm just picks up an old video like this. Anyway, good on you for actually giving it a serious try! I really respect that. It's definitely an acquired taste.
i was trying to say "hallå" and it ended up sounding like "aloha" but turns out i should've just said "hej" 🫠... i'm sorry 😞

It's definitely a healthier breakfast then what Americans usually eat for breakfast.
And it's really convenient.
Instead of containing preservatives it's just dry.
The stuff in between on that one isn't quite as dry.
But it's possible to eat with things that's canned or dried too.
Meaning that some crisp bread like that and with other thing that holds for literally years you can have a breakfast ready in a cabin that you bought and brought there perhaps 3-4 years earlier and it's still good food and ready to bring with you out when going skiing.
What you bought...
It doesn't last as long...
To put it mildly...
that is skum(foam), it feels a bit weaker than the harder ones, but might just be the texture that make it feel like that...the S candy is kiddie liquorice
Djungelvrål was my favorite candy before I reached double digit in age
Scandinavians (specially Finland and Sweden) love their salty licorice (and sweet licorice). There's one called "Svenskjävlar" that is made right around the corner that's intense, I can't eat more than a few at a time and I love salty licorice.
A current (past couple of years) growing trend is dadels "spiced" after different flavors, including licorice, some candy types (like the small prepacked bags you saw at the stores) or different ground nuts.
It's funny how you reacted to the sweet licorice vs the salty. The sweet one was in Gott & Blandat.
Licorice is an acquired taste, if you like salt and sweet, that's what it fullfills. It's really good paired with dark chocolate
The thing with salty licorice is that sweetnes and freshnes that comes afterward.
It's a thing when it comes to Swedish cuisine; Salt - Sweet - Sour
if you think "Salt skum" is salty then you should try "Svenskjävlar" it's like x10 😁🤣
The paprika snack is actualy Swedish Rye Bead, the rye bread is also nice to buy alone (without flavor) and add Butter and a thin layer of "kalles kaviar" (Smoked fish rowe)
nobody actually likes kaviar stfu

"plopp" is the sound a bubble makes when it pops. Or when a drop of water hits a water surface. Or when you open the lid on a pressurized glass jar and you hear a "plopp" because of the pressure difference.
I live in sweden and i love the candy!!!
Most of it is candy
Thing is swedish fish is not actually a swedish thing. It originated in sweden but its more of a american thing now, and most swedish people have never even tried it before.
Almost forgot swedish fish was originally meant for the american people not the swedish.
Gott & blandat means there is mixed candy
I watched your video where you explored Swedish culture, and it was quite entertaining! When you tried the Swedish candy, "Salt Skum," I couldn't help but chuckle at your reaction to its saltiness. If you thought that was salty, I must recommend you try another Swedish candy called "Djungelvrål" (Jungle Roar). As the name suggests, it's even saltier, and it might give you quite the taste bud challenge! It would be interesting to see your reaction to it in a future video.
Keep up the great content!
Hiii, I’m a Swede and I think it’s so fun to see other people around the world test Swedish Candy/snacks/food! The hard bread is actually called “knäckebröd” in Swedish and it is just hard bread😊 btw I think you chose the perfect snacks/candies to start with💗
Knäckebröd är så gott med rätt saker till. När man var yngre så såg man på det som pesten haha
@@MrToobyy Jaaaaa🥲
"Swedish fish" is actually an american candy produced by a swedish company. We have them here too, but we call them "pastellfiskar" and and you can usually find them as a pick and mix candy. But the liqourice version, "salt sill" is more famous here.
Swedish Fish is produced in Ontario Canada, by Cadbury Adams.
@@AlexKall ok. It was created by and used to be produced by Swedish company Malaco until Cadbury Adams took over production in America
I love Wasa. They are the founder and pillar of Swedish hardbread. I love the crunchiness 😊
Much food in Sweden have a lot of salt in or on it. I guess it is in bedded in our gens sins the middle ages when we use salt to prolong and store the food. The premade crackers is a meal that you can take on the go and that keep you fed for a long time because of the fiber. You should have tried polkagris or polka-cains if you haven't tried before
This video was hilarious! :D As a Swede, honestly I also find it really difficult to eat “salt skum” as I really don’t like licorice lol
Tack för den här videon :D
Oh and btw “plopp” doesn’t really mean anything in Swedish, it’s more of a “nonsense word” but it can be used as “pop!” (Like a sound effect kinda..? 😭)
Also if you haven’t tried it already, you should try “daim” chocolate! It’s really good in my opinion :>
Daim isn't Swedish, or even nordic.
It's sold all over Europe.
@@Luredreier Oh okay, but I just saw how she talked a little about it in the video and I love Daim so I thought it was a good idea for her to try it. :)
@@thatloafofbread8311
Actually, I was dead wrong there, sorry... -_-
Og *is* Swedish...
And I was just being stupid...
@@Luredreier Oh, it’s fine :)
I’m glad you admitted that you provided the wrong information, not all people do that. Thank you 🫶
We do have Swedish Fish, basically the exact same look. But they are in the "plockgodis" section only in our Grocery stores or candy stores. Plockgodis is like an isle of individual candies that you choose freely from to create your own candy bag. I don't know the english word sorry!
It's not the same product. Swedish Fish was originally made by Malaco, which also makes pastellfiskar, but it was made specifically for the American market. They look different, taste different and have a different texture. Not exactly worlds apart, but still different
The English word should be "Pick and Mix"
Spot on with the licorice. I had to learn to like it as a Swede, but I'm the odd man. It's easier if you start with sweet licorice.
(I loved kimchi from the very start.)
When she pulled "Salt skum" out, i was like: "That's going to be one heck of a surprise"
The closest thing to Swedish fish in Sweden that I have found is Hallonbåtar (Raspberry boats), usually found in conjuction with liqouric boats Lakritsbåtar.
There are several stuff that is saltier than salt.
In the most northern countries, we have always had problem finding salt since it originally came from evaporated ocean/salt water (evaporation require heat).
We are hardwired to like salt since it was uncommon until lately (100 y ago). Salmiak is THE saltiest stuff in existence.
Yeah we had a lot of brine and saltcured foods back in the day
As a Swedish person the plopp after you take a bite you tilt it up so the filling those not drip
People who are Swedish and hearing her say hallåa
Her:Mmarabo
Me:Why are we still here?
😭
0:01 Halloa??
A tip for the next visit:
If you go to a candy department in Finland, half the content is black -- licorice and salmiak. They know what they love and managed to make a wonderful chocolate-salmiak mix 15-20 years ago (that was copied by us in Sweden). It shouldn't be possible, like putting chocolate on potatoes, but they did it. Sheer sisu and a Manhattan (/Esbo?) Project, I'd guess. 😅
I think you can find salmiak-chocolate all the way south as northern Germany and England, we're happy to give salmiak and surströmming back to them, as thanks for their great beers! 🤎
Stockholm and Paris are 1 543,68 km apart. it's like Japan and Taiwan.
No gelatin in Gott & Blandat, it's glucose syrup.
Adjö is like the french adieu. It's very old.
Hallå is Swedish way of answering the phone or calling out to someone to see if they are there, not really for greeting someone.
Hej (Pronounced hey) is how we greet someone and to say goodbye we say hej då (pronounced 'hey dough' or 'hey D'oh'. å like Homer Simpsons "D'oh").
"å" is more like "aw" in dawn.
"Adjö" is more final like "goodbye forever".
@@magnusnilsson9792 No.
You don't pronounce å like "aw" in dawn not unless you make dawn sound like down.
sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%85
Click on the audio, you sound like you have no comprehension.
Also, no adjö is literally etymologically from the french adieu.
en.wiktionary.org/wiki/adj%C3%B6
Everything that you said was so wrong I was surprised to see that you spelled things correctly.
When I moved to USA and eating their sour candy I was so disappointed because I was grown out eating the sour candy from Sweden.
Surprise, we don't call it "Swedish fish" in Sweden. Those gummies in the "Gott & Blandat" bag is sort of the original version of Swedish fish though, although the most popular version in Sweden is the salty black licorice version.
Those paprika sandwiches are actually so good. I usually eat them to get a snack in the middle of the day.
As soon as I saw Oreo its already game over! I have utterly high respect for this video just because I will be doing food Vlogging & traveling, this is just a highlight of that huge thumbs up for trying unique snacks! I didn't expect the last snack but wouldn't mind trying it🙌
My exact reaction when I saw the Oreo marabou 🥺 I would love to see your reaction to salt skum someday 😆🔥 And YESS I can imagine your travel-foodie vlogs being so engaging and colorful, can’t wait!! 😋
@@shelleyseokim I would love to try the Oreo, Oreo has been a fav of mine for sure 🤩 I think the salt skum already define its flavor with your reaction😅 jk well honestly im down to try anything that other countries will offer😂 I hope it is, I appreciate your support 🙈 im still mastering the art of editing like yours😌
Btw i live and am from 🇸🇪
Gott&Blandat is very good you other guys should defintly try it its soo tasty i tried it myself and it was so good
I have never really liked it cause it tastes too much like chemicals
im sweden and got o blandat is amasing and marabo
Oh yippie yay!!!!!!! I am from Sweden!!!!!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️oh and with the marabou you were super close of how we pronounce it!!❤️❤️
I know Marabou is so good its even mý favorite chocolate🍫
Anyeong~! These types of videos are always fun, thank you for sharing! I hope you're having a nice time here in Sweden!
Marabou (I rhyme it with Caribou) isn't a Swedish word, it's actually the name of a kind of stork, the Marabou Stork. According to Wikipedia the origin could be Amharic. If you visit a convenience store (like ICA, Hemköp, or a Coop) keep your eyes peeled for Ballerina biscuits. I'd say they're more or less our equivalent to Oreos. The standard Ballerina is composed of two biscuits, one vanilla shortbread, and one chocolate, sandwiching a layer of nougat.
I'm really impressed that you went back for a second bite of that Salt Skum (Skum roughly translates to Foam, but could also mean suspicious, unsure if it's a play on words since they look like rocks?). That specific type of candy is rather polarising, in the sense that very few are indifferent towards it. Generally people either love it, or hate it.
When I visited Massachusetts a few years back, my absolute favourite thing were these little bags of like, I think freeze-dried cheese. They were called Moon Cheese, and my friend urged me to try them when we went by CVS to refill her prescription. I got obsessed! As far as I know, we don't have anything like that here in Sweden. They were so good.😭
Wow, thanks for such a detailed and informative response, Dojan! From just 48 hours of exploring the country, I love Sweden already. I felt very relaxed, even starting from Arlanda airport 🤭 I love nougat, Ballerina biscuits sound yummy 😋
Haha, I wanted to challenge myself with that salt skum! It was such a unique snack, I had to give it my all 😂 not surprised by the polarization in #teamskum, maybe I’ll be a fan someday :)
Ohh you got a healthyish yummy snack for an American one 😂 so glad you got to explore this country a bit, hope you enjoyed your international travel(s) too! 🙂
edit: also, annyeong! 🇰🇷
Hi, swede here! Just want to say I loved this video. You are really sweet and have great reactions, and I always laugh seing someone try our salty candy. We swedes do have a lot of liquorice, and it's always fun to see someone foreign try!
"Salt Skum" means "salty foam", and it refers to the foamy texture. Im sure other people have said this, but if you wanted to try to the most stereotypical salty liquorice its called "djungelvrål", which translates to "djungle roar" or "roar of the djungle" and its both salty and sticks to your teeth. I could easily eat a packet of salt skum, but a whole packet of djungelvrål?, that takes a while! And also, yeah its not only salt but often other types of acids as well, which gives it extra punch! Even worse is "Svenskjävlar", meaning "swedish bastards" and its crazy sour!! its fun to try though!
"Gott och blandat" directly translates to "good and mixed", and its really popular here. There are 2 types of liquorice in that bag, both sweet liquorice, but the harder ones that stick to your teeth is made without gluten, and the honeycomb shaped ones are made with gluten, and are therefore softer!
Marabou is just sweet milk chocolate with different flavours and stuff in them, and I personally do not really care for either them or "plopp", its just kind of too sweet!
The thing with some salty candy, like salty S-märke is that the salt is a different kind of salt I think it's Ammoniumchloride instead of Sodiumchloride (regular table salt) and it's called salmiaksalt by some
I’m from Sweden and I’m really happy you liked the chocolate ❤❤❤
Hey! Love your video! This is my favourite video! I never looked at your video❤❤😊
She so cute and kind❤
I don't think I've ever met anyone that doesn't like Plopp. And barely anyone from the US that likes our salt-licorice ^^
Don't worry, absolutely no hard feelings :) It's an acquired taste to be sure. I used to get Gott & Blandat all the time as a kid and I would give all of the licorice to my dad. These days though I love it!
10:07 I've never eaten more than 1 of those at a time. There's a sour version as well. And I can eat 2 of those.
I think they can provide an interesting contrast to other candy/snack flavours, in limited quantities.
so cool! thanks for sharing :)
All Swedes: yes, finally tasting the licorice salty candy, bet that will be a challenge for you :D
Plopp is a swedish onomatopoeia of something dropping into water. No idea why its called that but for sure very nice candy
as a sweed, i couldnt stop laughing too people trying to pronounce swedish names 😅
So about the Swedish Fish. It's a rabbit hole to go down. Because Swedish Fish are actually not Swedish, but they also are... sort of. The original recipe was made by a Swedish candy manufacturer, who then wanted to sell it in North America. But Swedish Fish is made by a company in Canada, so it's not Swedish, and you can't find it in Sweden. But we have our own form, and it's sold in little boxes. I think it's called Zoo here (I'm sure someone in the comments can refresh my memory)? So it's not Swedish, but it is, but it isn't. Make sense?
Also, going in for another try of the salt licorice was very brave. Because of our cultural history (salting is one of the best ways to preserve food) Nordic countries use an insane amount of salt and we're used to a lot more than most other cultures. It's okay to not like things too, most people give it a low score and that's fine. I commend you for keeping an open mind and turning into a positive experience though.
So cute asking if anyone eaten this, or a whole bag. Majority of us in all the Nordic countries + Holland eat a lot of liquorice. It's almost equivalent to asking a Korean if you tried kimchi & that comment about sour wasabi, got me too 🤣🤣🤣All the best from Denmark ❤
Salt Skum ❤. It's amazing (imo).
Swedish candy is really either really good (like Swedish chocolate) or to the extremes like Salt skum or Patroner.
If you're ever in Sweden again you should visit Kandyz or Hemmakväll, they have insane amounts and varieties of candy.
Keep going, you have a really good on camera persona.
I noticed the Swedish candy polarity!! Aw wish I knew earlier, they sound fun to explore! on my bucket list for my next visit someday then 🍬 and that’s generous of you to say, thank you!! 😌
@@shelleyseokim Just for some more cultural understanding; ammonium chloride was added to some cough syrups for kids many years ago which meant children were exposed to the flavour and grew to like it. Eventually somebody came up with the idea of making candy with the stuff and, voila: We have salty liquorice.
Salty Foam is only lightly dusted with Ammonium Chloride (yes, not regular NaCl). I need a lot more.
I NEED TOO TRY THE MARABOU OREO!
ITS REALLY GOODDDD
As an swedish person i loved how u said hello att the start❤ edit: also sweden is popular with the gummies and stretchy candy❤
aw you're the first to say that haha tysm, i've learned through the comments that "hej" is usually more popular :P and i love gummies and stretchy candy, no wonder i had such a blast in sweden ^^
I can easily eat an entire bag of salty liquorice, but I have trouble with kimchi, so the opposite, haha! 😅
There are different strengths of Kimchi. If you can get hold of big cabbage bits of Kimchi, and fry it - the flavour changes for the better in my opinion. Althou i do love raw kimchi too so im biased
First love your video!
Thanks for evening so humble and fun to listen to 😊 I see that this video is old and hope your are doing amazing and staying safe!
this is so sweet, thanks for watching and for your kind words! Stay safe and well out there!
1:25 Marabou Oreo, that's like Swedish candy meets American cookies. Ive had oreo's before, they are alright. I prefer the superior Ballerina cookies, totally not cause I'm Swedish. I would suggest you try out Ballerina whenever you get the choice, they are similar to Oreo's but Swedish.
5:16 That's cause we don't technically sell them as "Swedish fish". that's what they are called in USA or Burgerland as I love calling it. Here in Sweden they go under different names, pastellfisk is what they are commonly called. They are also normally sold as part of a mix or sold as part of pick and mix, they normally don't have their own separate packaging/bag. They are sometimes also called "malaco fisk", hopefully this will help you find them easier in the future.
9:30 "I'm sorry"
You don't have to be, salty liquorice is quite a regional thing for Sweden and Finland, it's an "acquired taste". I quite love salty liquorice, it helps growing up here and growing up with candies like that. I still remember those salty S from a little neighbourhood kiosk me and my family would go to, buy candy on Saturdays when I was a kid (they would sell big salty S for 1 krona per S).
@@SvengelskaBlondie I bought around 10 more marabou Oreos back in Sweden after this vlog 😅😅 I almost got addicted to sweets again because of it haha.
Yes I learned from commenters that Swedish fish is an American thing 🥲, so I started telling my American family and friends this fact!
I love hearing about memories people have with their local candy.. and I actually am starting to like salty licorice haha I bought 2 bags of bubs skull candy to share with friends :)
@@shelleyseokim If you like salty licorice, you gotta try a Swedish candy called "djungelvrål". It's a bag of candy with a shouting money on, it has small salty licorice money candies. They are really good, think you would love them if you like salty licorice 🥰.
Edit: That's quite allot of Marabou Oreo's, thought they are very nice so I understand that you went a bit ham on them.
Funny enough, there are a few differences between pastellfisk and Swedish fish, one being that Swedish fish uses ingredients not allowed in the EU.
I'M FROM SWEDEN💙💛🇸🇪
Star anise would be a better comparison I think maybe? The distinctive taste comes from anethole which can be found in fennel, star anise and aniseed :)
Oo I’m not too familiar with it, but star anises look so cute and seem healthy in moderation! kinda wanna try some now 🤔
Ahhh I love that you’re in Sweden (I’m from Sweden heheh❤)
Ahhh jag älskar att du är i Sverige (jag är svensk heheh❤)
we Swedes are crazy about salt licorice. But you made a good effort to eat it. take care. 우리 스웨덴 사람들은 소금 감초에 열광합니다. 하지만 먹느라 수고 많으셨습니다. 잘 지내세요 .
That Wasa Sandwich is exactly what it says; a (hard bread) sandwich, not a snack :P
Oh, and with Plopp and other toffee filled chocolates you put the entire square in your mouth otherwise you would get sticky all over your hands and face!
I like the S-märke salty skum but the red ones are more my favorite. I think liqurits is a Swedish thing.
Can you please come to Denmark❤😊
aw i would love to someday :)
seeing foreigners eat salty liquorice brings me great joy
We here in Scandinavia love salt in general, esp salty licorice. Think it's in our genes, since we used salt as a preservative for MANY years xD
As a swed, i love watching people eat our candy because I never experienced it like you did! I LOVE the “sour wasabi” 😂❤ and can Eat a hole bag. ❤
Swedish gang
👇🏽
So cute😍
Salt skum or lakris is really a hit or miss, i personally hate it but some people find it delisious lol
I love salt skum haha
Swedish Fish, despite their name, are not originally from Sweden. They were created by the Swedish confectionery company Malaco in the late 1950s specifically for the North American market. So they are much more popular in North America and actually pretty rare in Sweden.
If you ever come back to Sweden, you have to try Gifflar!!! 😍😍😍😍
The Salt Skum doesn't actually contain any sodium. It's just that the salmiak activates the salt receptors in your tongue.
Am swedis !jaja
Salted licorice is pretty good in ice cream actually.
Swedish candy is now a phenomena in the US
not surprised 😋
Actally goodbye in swedish is Hej då å its little bit like o
"The salt scum has forever been infused in my brain" 😂 Sorry on behalf of our snacks
8:50 AHAHAHA it never gets old seeing new ppl try scandinavian licorice it's funny every time watching people try it
I was waiting the entire video for you to try the salty candy XDD
So funny.
at least you didnt chose the worst one. there are waaaay worse hahahahah
Djungelvrål
that salt liquorice is the best. give it 10 to 15 sec and i have eaten the hole bag :)
Weird how the algoritm just picks up an old video like this. Anyway, good on you for actually giving it a serious try! I really respect that. It's definitely an acquired taste.
ik I am shooketh too 🤔 thanks, I had fun trying :)
