As a Norwegian, I have to say it's difficult to beat both the Danes and the Swedes when it comes to their bakeries and pastry. However, the one thing they cannot get really right, is the 'skolebrød' and perhaps it's cousin, the 'solskinnsbolle'. For anything else, I'd go Swedish, I think - except for the... danish(!).
School bun is the best. The one in Norway with hvite icing, Coconut spread and yellow vanilla curd. Just best school memories cause it s called Skolebrød =schoolbread❤❤❤ all pastery and bakery stuff is great in Norway and Denmark and Sweden. 😊😊😊
My Grandma was from Norway, & used to Bake These Rare Norwegian Desert Cookies for all of The Grandchildren. However, I miss them so much, but have never found Bakeries with her amazing recipes.
we do have really great bakerys and such here in the nordic countrys :) if you are in Stockholm and some time you should deffinetly visit for example Tössebageriet and be early if you do.. they have a chocolate mousse and passionfruit cake that is to die for. of course they have plenty of other stuff and they are usually first or very new with stuff like the semel wrap, its like a semla but a wrap :)
4:42 I’m pretty sure it wasn’t advertised as an “all you can eat” breakfast. I think it’s just a regular breakfast buffet, where the focus is not on eating as much as you can, at all.
Just like everything else in the Nordic countries, we do things very, very, well. Despite our close bonds, we have our differences, so also in the food department. When I as a Swede are in another Nordic country, I always eat what they do and I feel like a fish in the water. It´s like you cant have bad food anywhere here.
Hi guys, as you are so outdoor active you dont need to think about adding gold to your hips with all that nice and tasty bakeries. Thanks for sharing with us. Btw, I can ask a local living in Ballstad (Lofoten island) for his and his family and relatives for recommendations on cafes and bakeries in the far north. Just to prepare you for another trip to a MUST see of nature on our planet. CU
@@OurStorytoTell Hi Tanner, just found this video today with true, honest and great content. Hope you can put the information given into your planning for one day, Pleas also take into consideration of Island Senja, Andoya and Vesteralen. From my point of you up the North Cape isnt worth as it isnt the far northern part and a rip off to get there. ruclips.net/video/k6S5SKC2LUo/видео.html Yes, best season for travelling staying away from the crowd will be starting in mid august. Be aware the ferry running from Gryllefjord(Senja) to Andenes will stop beginning/mid Sept. Its an old russian fishing trawler and the journey can be very rough sometimes. Always worth to visit Senja with so many spectacular places and hikes. CU
Rather funny is that as a Swede I have never ever associated Norway with good bakery. Denmark is famous for its "smörrebröd" (sandwiches with various toppings) but Norway? The only thing I have heard of from our neighbours in the West is "Vestlandslefsa" - and that is more like bread you eat with your regular meals. For the most delicious buns, cakes and pastries I rank Sweden as #1 (yes, I might be a wee bit biased).
I mostly agree, Swedish pastry is top notch. But your bread, though? Not so much 😳I’d choose Norwegian bread everytime, or perhaps Danish ‘rugbrød’ for special types of sandwiches. As a Norwegian I used to live and work in Sweden for some years, and had to bring bread and brunost from Norway to survive 😊 ‘Vestlandslefsa’ is not at all bread, closer to cake.
@@jandmath It's true that our neighbours - especially Finland - eat more rye bread than us Swedes do. We are more into white sweet bread. Then again, it's a matter of what you're used to eat from your childhood. Had I lived in any other country I would probably have to bring some Swedish stuff in order to survive. Although our Nordic countries in many ways historically are close connected there are also some differences when it comes to food. 🙂
As a Norwegian I have to say I usually find bakery from other countries too sugary. I guess we use less sugar in most products in Norway, and the taste buds get used to the less sugary content. That is probably the reason why I love Norwegian pastries and cakes. Everywhere else there is too much sugar. To Americans it probably is too less sugar in Norwegian bakery. There are still many Norwegians who love sugar, so they may prefer pastries from other countries. An example is that I never drink Pepsi Max because it is too sweet for me. I prefer Cola Zero because it is not so sweet (both produced in Norway).
What a delicious video! Oh to be young and enjoy all those treats 😂... now I am a little more selective, just so not to pack on the pounds... but with babies years ago, it used to be so easy. It's wonderful to watch y'all enjoy ❤. Have a blessed week.
Thanks for the kind comment 💛 We definitely didn’t hold back did we!? 😂 we know this time won’t be around for forever, so weee happily enjoying it now!
If you're ever in Sweden during winter season, you've got to try out the seasonal pastry 'semla'. It's tradtionally eaten on 'fat tuesday' in february, but you can get them from ~January to March.
We actually asked at one of the bakers if they had semla and they told us the same thing! Bummer we couldn’t taste one, but we’ll have come back again :)
My experience is that semlor are not a "love at first sight" experience but more an acquired taste for your average foreigner. The first time I tried one it felt like they had just filled an ordinary wheat flour bun with whipped cream so my initial reaction was "this is weird!" But with time you realize it's the almond paste that makes it work. If there's the chance to buy a deluxe variation to get more of the paste do it!! :-) Now after living here for 30+ years I do enjoy 2-3 per season but then I'm satisfied for another year.
I much prefer savoury items as I rarely eat cakes due to the high sugar content. That shrimp sandwich that Tanner ordered looked absolutely divine. I was salivating as he took the first bite. The cakes all look amazing, very pretty, but give me a hot dog with onions any day.
Look up toast skagen recipies to make your own utlra Swedish favorite shrimp sandwich. I can't eat shrimp because of allergier, but anyone who has tried a proper toast skagen will vouch for it.
@@AbsolutePernilla Bummer that you have an allergy for shrimp. One of my nephews gets really ill if he inadvertently eats even a small one. Thankfully, I absolutely love shrimp (we call them prawns in the UK), so I will be looking into that toast recipe. Thanks for the tip!
I concur with your evaluation. The Norwegian bakery appears to be excessively dry (like their jokes), whereas the Swedes exhibit a commendable mastery of moisture. Danes comes in somewhere between.
All Swedish baked goods or candy have much more sugar in it compared with Norwegian counterparts. Not bad by any means, but man you miss Norwegian bread after a couple of days in Sweden.
Well, they chose the dry bakery. They missed Verdens beste and Norwegian marsipan cake, as well as waffles with sour cream and strawberry jam. Otherwise I totally agree - Norwegian bakery is wonderful to a Norwegian since it is less sugary. When you get used to less sugar, too much sugar tastes too sugary, and it's not good at all.
@@ahkkariq7406 "too much sugar tastes too sugary"...? Well that says it all. I wonder if too much of anything tastes too much of that very thing? Maybe it´s in the words "too much". Remember to not be too smug about it. Norwegians...lol
..and it is nice to see that there is , at least two American people , that understands that Sweden is NOT the capital of Scandiavia. : D !! And I hope You understand that the people from Danmark , Sweden , Finland and Norway considering us all , to be Brothers and Sisters : )
I have to share this one with you. I thought of us as siblings, but then I read this somewhere... The Nordic family explained: Denmark is the mild mother Sweden is the strict father Norway is the beautiful daugther Finland is the rebelious son Iceland is a very close cusin and Greenland is the adopted child I think it's brilliant - but it's also uplifted us from "annoying little sister" to "mild mother" 🤣 Peace and love from Littlesister
Hi Our Story to Tell! The word FIKA was a code word for drinking coffee with friends and acquaintances. Because a king prohibited the working class and others to drink coffee. Skål Tom ☕😄
@@OurStorytoTell You live and learn something you everyday 😄 Skål Tom. Coffee quickly became a major commodity in Sweden, which disrupted the rest of the trade, so on five occasions there has been a coffee ban in Sweden. The first came in 1756 and the last was during 1817-22. It was during the last coffee ban that our "coffee club" arose or in swedish ”kaffegille” .
As a Norwegian never heard Lom has the best pastry in all of Norway. The audacity, and you know the quality and the recipes varies depending on where in Norway? So even though the same pastry, it will taste and be of different quality. We also have way more than this, and each village/town has their local baked goods that's specific to their valley or village. And these seemed slightly under cooked tbh.Too pale.
The audacity? Triggered much? Morten Schakenda and the bakery in Lom are pretty well known in Norway. Is it the best bakery? Maybe not, but taste is very subjective. So no need to go off like that. Greetings from a fellow norwegian 😅
Yeah, I missed it, too. Norwegian waffles is also a must. With butter and brown cheese or sour cream and strawberry jam. Not to forget krumkaker with cloudberry cream.
@@annicaesplund6613 The name Kvæfjordkake is related to two sisters from Kvæfjord in Troms. They had this café in Harstad. Nearly hundred years ago they bought a recipe (kongekake) from Denmark. The cake got popular in the area, and people started to simplify the recipe. When the café closed, it was the simplified recipe that took off, and when it was published in a Norwegian magazine, it became populare all over Norway.
Ha, I live not that far from the Bakery at Svartskog you visited, and I also were at the Lom bakery not long ago :). My cabin is in that mountain area. I really like the town of Lom. I have not finished the video yet, but did you visit the Heidal Ysteri/Bakery? It is not very far from Lom and also have amazing baked goods.
..I just wanted to say : I Love Your videos. And the other videos You made from earlier : The editing , the drone footage , the entire presentation is exeptional! ..I do not know who makes the final videos. But it is good. Thank You for all the videos , and all the work!
I'm so glad you said that! 😍 I can't keep comming up with new compliments each time she uploads 🤩 Enlish is my second language, and I've run out of superlatives 😉
Thank you! Risa does all of our editing, so your comments mean a lot 💛. They take a lot of work but the memories have been amazing and we’re glad we’ll have them for a long time.
I hope you finished the Skolebrød because the vanilla egg cream center is the BEST thing about it... Then again, most likely you did as baked goods from actual bakeries here cost a FORTUNE! xD
I think the Danes kind of got a bum rap in your taste test. Maybe you were all sugared out by the time you got there? I live in Sweden but I cherish the memories of having genuine fresh Danish pastries (wienerbröd) a few Copenhagen mornings. The variety of fillings nearly made me swoon. My personal favorite was the (nutella-like) chocolate filling, but there are others just as good. It's essential that they're eaten fresh. Don't expect to find their equal in Sweden, where their imagination doesn't seem to stretch beyond standard vanilla/custard.
As a Dane I must agree, trying one bakery and 4 things is letting us down 😪and non of them are IMHO the best you can get here, beside maybe the brunsviger (just made it myself last week) a classic on Fyn/Odense.
@@Uriel-Septim. This video started a little brunsviger craze in my family. then Brunsvigeren's Day came around: Apparently the bakers on Fyn use about 6 times as brown sugar as in the rest of Denmark. Half of the brown sugar sold to bakeries in Denmark goes to Fyn 🤣🤣
As a Norwegian, I'll have to agree that Swedish and Danish pastry is better, mainly because it's more of a tradition for it there. I think norway wins when it comes to bread, though, especially wholemeal bread. Danes use a lot of rye and dense bread, which doesn't taste that good, and Swedish bread is a joke in my opinion.
I remember when we went to Denmark with my Danish class (I lived close to the Danish border at that time so we spent a few hours in Denmark one day). I don't think my teacher liked the fact that me (and one of the guys I think) had fries instead of smørebrød (I hope I spelled that right). But I don't really like bread so why would I buy some (I think it was like one or two slices per portion) very small, overpriced slices of bread when I can get a whole portion of fries for the same price.
Since cardamom origin in northern Europe is newer than the Viking age, I doubt the story is true. Danish baking history though uses a lot of Cardemom in their recipies.
It’s interesting in the USA because there are bakeries but specific cupcake, cookies or donut shops seem to be much more popular. We love some of the products at these specific cookie or donut shops, but we can’t say we have really gone into a bakery with everything available (other than the grocery store bakeries & those don’t compare 😂).
You dont wanna know what us swedes call that yellow stuff in the middle of those pastries.. well ima say it anyways, we call it "mormors hosta" literal translation "grandmas cough"
1 minut in: I'm telling, you if Denmark doesn't win this one, I'm going to unsuscibe! 🤣🤣🤣 At the end: Oh NO - now you'll find out it was an empty threat. But honestly: the Finns have sisu AND they've stolen our happiness), The Norweigians have beauty and oil, the Swedes mines and enourmous woods. All we have - or rather HAD, thanks to you - is our pastry and that poxy mermaid. Now YOU've given them our pastry..... It is a little plaster on my wound, that the last cake, Brunsviger, was litterally from my local baker (Gertz), and it's special to FYN. For bithdays a huge Brunsviger is cut in shape of a girl or a boy and decorated with glasing and candy. Else we eat it for breakfast: butter half a bun, then throw half a brunsviger on top - opside down, so you don't grease your finger. Guten Apetit - and let me know if you want a recipe for the brunsviger. It's an easy one to make yourself.
Oh no! Glad to hear you’re deciding to stick around 😊. No way, that’s the same bakery you go to? We’d love the recipe if you want to share! Could you send it to ourstorytotellcontact@gmail.com? That also fun to hear it’s eaten for breakfast and at birthdays. We’re going to look that up now to see how their shapes!
@@OurStorytoTell Google KAGEMAND or KAGEKONE, and you'll see some. The rest of Denmark do them too, but a different "material" The recipe will be in the mail...
You have the best beaches, though. And the best TV shows, I guess. As a Norwegian I love the Danish landscape, with the sand dunes. All is rocks, here in Norway.
@@ane-louisestampe7939 The views are pretty, of course. But you get used to them, and it's hard to grow vegetables in steep slopes. It is not impossible if the slope is south-facing, but it requires more effort. Tourism is an important industry in Norway, but it has its limitations, and it also costs a lot to maintain. You cannot charge an entrance fee even though it was expensive to build the roads leading to the view, and also expensive to maintain the roads. The roads are usually built for the local population, but must be built to withstand more traffic than they create, and they must be maintained more frequently because of the traffic. Norway welcomes tourists. We are proud of our country and want to share it - but we cannot live off a beautiful view. Fortunately, the country has more to offer.
Oups.. getting trough Norway, Sweden and Denmark.. on bakeryes? Its rather this that Scandinavia is famouse for our seafood! I altso belive that every US citicen is scared of seafood, in scandinavia its our national dishes!
Don’t worry, we had our fair share of seafood while we were there! Keep an eye out for our Scandinavian food video. Right more I could go for some fresh shrimp 😋
As a baker I am not offended by this video. Rather a bit jealous. You guys picked some good bakeries, which most don’t. I’ve seen way to many reactions to garbage cinnamon buns bought at the gas station.
It would be very difficult to not include our children as they are right there experiencing all the new foods and places with us. They’re a part of our family and our main purpose is to document our families memories.
This was really nice to watch. Thank you so much for the review of our bakery, Sjögrens i backen i Grebbestad
We loved it! Incredible staff and delicious pastries and food. We’re missing it already. Thank you!
As a Norwegian, I have to say it's difficult to beat both the Danes and the Swedes when it comes to their bakeries and pastry. However, the one thing they cannot get really right, is the 'skolebrød' and perhaps it's cousin, the 'solskinnsbolle'. For anything else, I'd go Swedish, I think - except for the... danish(!).
'Skolebrød'👍åt en hel del när jag jobbade i Norge🇸🇪
I also think in Norway it’s also based a lot on if your town is known for baking in the past or not.

As a Dane I must agree, trying one bakery and 4 things is letting us down 😪and non of them are IMHO the best you can get here, beside maybe the brunsviger (just made it myself last week) a classic on Fyn/Odense.
@@Uriel-Septim. This video started a little brunsviger craze in my family. then Brunsvigeren's Day came around:
Apparently the bakers on Fyn use about 6 times as brown sugar as in the rest of Denmark. Half of the brown sugar sold to bakeries in Denmark goes to Fyn 🤣🤣
Grebbestad is gourgous by the sea. Been there in the 80s 😊
It is gorgeous!
As a Norwegian, I'll have to agree that Swedish and Danish pastry is better, mainly because it's more of a tradition for it there.
I think norway wins when it comes to bread, though, especially wholemeal bread. Danes use a lot of rye and dense bread, which doesn't taste that good, and Swedish bread is a joke in my opinion.
So true.
The Danish "spanduar" is a sarcastic comment to ww1, ratatata, bloody germans! 😂😂😂🎉
I remember when we went to Denmark with my Danish class (I lived close to the Danish border at that time so we spent a few hours in Denmark one day). I don't think my teacher liked the fact that me (and one of the guys I think) had fries instead of smørebrød (I hope I spelled that right). But I don't really like bread so why would I buy some (I think it was like one or two slices per portion) very small, overpriced slices of bread when I can get a whole portion of fries for the same price.
Haha love that story! 😂 Makes sense to us!!
5:30 How fast kids learn how to subdue the earth. 😮😂🤣😂🤣
Since cardamom origin in northern Europe is newer than the Viking age, I doubt the story is true. Danish baking history though uses a lot of Cardemom in their recipies.
Do American bakeries compete, I wonder?
It’s interesting in the USA because there are bakeries but specific cupcake, cookies or donut shops seem to be much more popular. We love some of the products at these specific cookie or donut shops, but we can’t say we have really gone into a bakery with everything available (other than the grocery store bakeries & those don’t compare 😂).
I was a bit worried the girl might get stabbed the way the fork was moving from about 3:05.😀
5:56 Try to take of the paper oraond the cake next time it will be nicet to eat it we dont eat it with the Papper on. ;)
You dont wanna know what us swedes call that yellow stuff in the middle of those pastries.. well ima say it anyways, we call it "mormors hosta" literal translation "grandmas cough"
Danes call it "The bakers bad (infected) eye"
Never heard that before. /fellow swede
its a pitty we couldnt try even one of them!😂
Wish we could have shared!
1 minut in: I'm telling, you if Denmark doesn't win this one, I'm going to unsuscibe!
🤣🤣🤣
At the end: Oh NO - now you'll find out it was an empty threat.
But honestly: the Finns have sisu AND they've stolen our happiness), The Norweigians have beauty and oil, the Swedes mines and enourmous woods.
All we have - or rather HAD, thanks to you - is our pastry and that poxy mermaid. Now YOU've given them our pastry.....
It is a little plaster on my wound, that the last cake, Brunsviger, was litterally from my local baker (Gertz), and it's special to FYN.
For bithdays a huge Brunsviger is cut in shape of a girl or a boy and decorated with glasing and candy.
Else we eat it for breakfast: butter half a bun, then throw half a brunsviger on top - opside down, so you don't grease your finger.
Guten Apetit - and let me know if you want a recipe for the brunsviger. It's an easy one to make yourself.
Oh no! Glad to hear you’re deciding to stick around 😊.
No way, that’s the same bakery you go to? We’d love the recipe if you want to share! Could you send it to ourstorytotellcontact@gmail.com?
That also fun to hear it’s eaten for breakfast and at birthdays. We’re going to look that up now to see how their shapes!
@@OurStorytoTell Google KAGEMAND or KAGEKONE, and you'll see some. The rest of Denmark do them too, but a different "material"
The recipe will be in the mail...
You have the best beaches, though. And the best TV shows, I guess. As a Norwegian I love the Danish landscape, with the sand dunes. All is rocks, here in Norway.
@@ahkkariq7406 I'll give you that we have the best beaches - and the warmest saltwater ☺
But Nothing Compares to the views from those rocks of yours 🤩
@@ane-louisestampe7939 The views are pretty, of course. But you get used to them, and it's hard to grow vegetables in steep slopes. It is not impossible if the slope is south-facing, but it requires more effort.
Tourism is an important industry in Norway, but it has its limitations, and it also costs a lot to maintain. You cannot charge an entrance fee even though it was expensive to build the roads leading to the view, and also expensive to maintain the roads. The roads are usually built for the local population, but must be built to withstand more traffic than they create, and they must be maintained more frequently because of the traffic.
Norway welcomes tourists. We are proud of our country and want to share it - but we cannot live off a beautiful view. Fortunately, the country has more to offer.
Oups.. getting trough Norway, Sweden and Denmark.. on bakeryes?
Its rather this that Scandinavia is famouse for our seafood!
I altso belive that every US citicen is scared of seafood, in scandinavia its our national dishes!
Don’t worry, we had our fair share of seafood while we were there! Keep an eye out for our Scandinavian food video. Right more I could go for some fresh shrimp 😋
@@OurStorytoTell Thanks, now Im relived!
Denmark🧇
What did the scale say after the trip? 😂
I'd have to say that noone beats Denmark when it comes to pastries.
Lovely family you have
Thanks for the support!
As a baker I am not offended by this video. Rather a bit jealous. You guys picked some good bakeries, which most don’t. I’ve seen way to many reactions to garbage cinnamon buns bought at the gas station.
04:02 Vil du ha sånn bolle eller sånn bolle? LMAO
Leave Europe, no, never. Just stay! We want you here!
..maybe that means : come back to Europe. Because they came frome here from the beginning.. : D
You have a point 😉
why do you want to leave Europe? stay here
Long story short, we are on a work contract that doesn’t let us stay for more then a few years!
Seriously keep the kids out of the video. So disturbing. Will not watch youre videos again. Sorry
It would be very difficult to not include our children as they are right there experiencing all the new foods and places with us. They’re a part of our family and our main purpose is to document our families memories.
