It's not called Scandi horse, it's a Dala horse and it's not a scandinavian thing it's a swedish thing. A very local item from Dalarna, Sweden. No other scandinavian nation have a horse item like that. Ikea only have those horses at IKEA as to honor a bit of the swedish culture. The horses is not in it's traditional colors at IKEA but the horses itself is an icon of Sweden.
I just watched a really lovely couple visiting Ikea and being positive, curious and interested in my culture and went to the commetary to find a completely unnecessary amount of people being negative for absurd reasons. I’m sorry you have to deal with them and thank you for uploading this video. Välkommen tillbaka! 🇸🇪👋🏼♥️
8:13 When you’re making lemonade from berries from scratch you don’t want seeds and such in the finished drink, the strainer will prevent that. The funnel is to make sure everything ends up in the bottle without making a mess.
You guys need to go to Nusnäs in Dalarna to find the real "Scandi horses" or Dala horses as they are called by us. That's were there from originally. And you can see them being made and painted.
@@NikesZ28 I think the idea is for you to paint them yourself. But I agree that it's strange to call it Scandi horses when it's a very local item. It's like calling a ILNYC T-shirt a North American style T-shirt.
Fun fact, Skagenröra is named after the Danish city of Skagen. Yet it is not superknown across Denmark because it was first made by a Swedish chef from Stockholm. And despite it's "inventor" being from Stockholm it is also much more popular on the south and westcoast of Sweden than in Stockholm or east/north of Sweden (this applies to most "röror" and seafood in general). On the westcoast we eat "röror" for breakfast. The flask with the strainer is for making berry juice. The "Scandi horse" or as we call them "Dalahäst" is from the county of Dalarna and they are usually decorated in a certain style if you get a proper Dalahäst rather than IKEA copies. Oh and in the beginning of the video... no, just no... that is not a river, that is a strait. 😉
Because anyone can legally just walk out into someone else's forest and pick berries in Sweden, it's pretty popular to make your own fruit and berry juice concentrate. Of course Ikea has the tools to make that! Oh, and shrimp samdwiches are also a very Swedish thing, just as Skagenröra, or its restaurant sibling Toast Skagen.
The bottles are for making "saft", like the "lingon dricka" you drank in the restaurant but it can be made of any berries. You cook them and then strain them.
0:31 That's not a river, it's a strait! 1:02 You do have the American version of the IKEA restaurant. Just like all the other countries' IKEA. It's quite fun to check the different IKEA menus in different countries. Like in Spain they have paella, in the UK they have biryani and mac&cheese, and breakfast with sausages and beans and stuff, in South Korea they have Bulgogi fried rice, in China they have sichuan style chicken spicy beef rolls, and kung pao chicken, in the US you have mac&cheese, breakfast plates with waffles and bacon etc, so all IKEA menus are adapted to the local cuisine, but with a few Swedish dishes on the menus, like the meatballs. 1:24 These family parking places exist at most bigger parking lots, not just IKEA, in Sweden. Isn't that common in the US too? 3:47 Their "Nytillverkad" line ("Newly manufactuered") are like favorite items from the past, they started making items that they used to have earlier. I bet that bright yellow sofa was popular in the 80s for instance. 9:33 Shoe horns is very important to us, since most of us take our shoes off when entering, and on when leaving of course, so a shoehorn helps a lot, and a long one is good for the elderly, or if you have a back pain or something. 10:59 Rye bread is very common in Scandinavia. Like open faced sandwiches with this shrimp sallad, or other things. Or just with some cheese for breakfast. If you like the "skagenröra", it's very easy to make at home, just mix some pealed shrimps, with some mayo (I prefer 50/50 on mayo/creme fraiche), roe, dill (lots of it!), lemon and some salt and pepper. I like to add some chopped red onion too, but that's just a preference. It's great on toast (I prefer rye, but wheat is fine too), on a avocado, on baked potatoes), or served in a glass like a starter.
_"So all IKEA menus are adapted to the local cuisine"_ Never heard of that before. Must have happened after Kamprad's death (along with going woke and no cash allowed). Next step is perhaps having product names in English... :((
8:18 that is used for making berry juice. also I like the fact that you love the horses, they are originally from the county Dalarna in Sweden where I'm from.
@@disKoverwithKatieandAndrewYou should try to get some real authentic Dala Horses. They are each hand carved and traditionally kurbits painted. You don't find them in IKEA, but they are everywhere tourists go.
The meat in the Skagen should be Shrimp, but saw a really cheap brand a few years back that used surimi, same meat as it crabsticks. And the recipe is normally mayo, creme fraishe, red onion, onion powder, shrimps, dijon mustard, lemon juice and dill lots of dill.
Hahaha,... 🤭Hur sjutton fick du Öresund, mellan Danmark och Sverige att bli en del av Atlanten? Öresund tillhör Östersjön, gränsen mellan Östersjön och Nordsjön går från Kattegatt. Sedan sträcker sig Nordsjön fram till Storbritannien och Skottland. På ANDRA sidan till väster vid Wales, där tar Atlanten vid!
Hahaha,... 🤭How the hell did you get Öresund, between Denmark and Sweden, to become part of the Atlantic? Öresund belongs to the Baltic Sea, the border between the Baltic Sea and the North Sea runs from the Kattegatt. Then the North Sea stretches to Great Britain and Scotland. On the OTHER side to the west by Wales, where the Atlantic takes over!
@@johanandersson9208 I know there are two seas, Kattegatt and Skagerrak. Can also be spelled Skagerack. I learned that in grade four at school. You should probably look at the map a little better! Kattegatt is around Denmark's islands, Jylland, Själland and Fyn. Skagerrak is up north from Denmark and between Skagen and Kristiansand in Norway. Then flows into the North Sea and then we are back in what I commented on earlier. The North Sea stretches all the way to Great Britain and Scotland. Jag vet att det finns två hav, Kattegatt och Skagerrak. Kan också stavas Skagerack. Det lärde jag mig i årskurs fyra i skolan. Du får nog kolla på kartan lite bättre! Kattegatt är runt Danmarks öar, Jylland, Själland och Fyn. Skagerrak är upp norrut från Danmark och mellan Skagen och Kristiansand i Norge. Sedan mynnar den ut i Nordsjön och då är vi tillbaka i det som jag kommenterade tidigare. Nordsjön sträcker sig ända in till Storbritannien och Skottland.
If you hade taken the train up north about 80 miles (about an hour, 1,5 by car) you would have come to the original IKEA place Älmhult. Which has an IKEA museum which is situated in the first ever IKEA store.
If you want to know what was in that less than $2 (19 Swedish kronor) salat with ryebread then go look up Toast Skagen, it's named after Skagen in Denmark, but is highly popular in Sweden under the name Skagenröra, in Denmark it go by the name Skagenssalat, that you can buy in several different version in all supermarkets all over the country. You can also get a Danish version of Skagen Salat in Lidl in Germany.
Hi disKover with Katie and Andrew ! 8:18 Bottle with strainer and closing cap is for making blueberry juice, lingonberry juice and elderberry juice and so on. Skål Tom ☕😄
Cool to see your happiness , you seem to like going to IKEA, i do too, about half of my furniture is from IKEA. those scandi horses, never heard the name before, we tend to call them "Dala häst" dala is like a particular community called Dalarna and häst is horse.
All the same stuff is in our Canadian IKEAS... Besides Sweden will always have more variety and options because it's IN Sweden...they know all the best stuff.
Glad you enjoyed your visit to Swedish IKEA. And, yes, we have a lot more stuff than other countries. Why give away all the stuff, best ideas stay at home.. And the translation is not "Goodnight my darling", It´s "Goodnight my treasure" Just so you know.. Oh, right, the bottle with the strainer on top is for making your own wine. The strainer collects the remains of fruit to keep the wine clearer.
When i think about it i really don't know much about the US really, but people jokingly say that sweden is the most americanised country, the US is second. I guess there are alittle truth to it because i notice that people like alot of US things and the bubbly personalities many americans seem to have work well in Sweden. Tho it takes a while for swedes to become bubbly, ther are some kind of shell that need some bubblyness to melt :D Then many of us in Sweden become fairly bubbly too.
When it comes to the size of that oven, it's on the small size by Swedish standards too, but IKEA's showrooms are kinda cramped so they can't fit anything bigger in there really. Myself and most people I know have a stove and an oven about 10 cm/4 inches wider and those still have plenty of space for the Christmas ham or a huge amount of casserole, but roasting a whole turkey isn't really a thing here in Sweden and thus if you want to splurge on appliances, it makes more sense to go for a second oven than an even bigger one. It's similar when it comes to fridges and freezers, most modern Swedish kitchens don't have that combo but rather one of each of that size. Again, I think it's a matter of IKEA not having enough space to showcase their larger models, since if you go to an electronics store, things are very different.
8:00 In Sweden you basically have a small fridge, a large fridge, or a double. A double is simply two normal fridges side by side, and its basically because its super cheap. The other reason is that they can be mask as built int furniture, something that can note be done with the wide fridges. Well sort of. Those built in draw fridges exist in Europe also, but you will not find them at ikea, they are way to expensive. While they can be combined with IKEA kitchen. Its worth saying that they do a lot of tryout in Ikea in Sweden, so some products may be trail runs, but there is for sure a wider array of products in Sweden. Worth saying that the IKEA Kitchen part didn´t originate in Sweden, but it originated in Germany then was brought from there to Sweden.
Dont mind the Swedish comments, swedish people just loves to correct people in youtube comments for some strange reason. Kinda hits a nerve with me it is embarrassing. Anyway, it is cool to here the difference between Sweden and America and you seem like such a cute couple!
The Öresund "river" is 10 miles wide, meaning as wide as all of Manhattan is long (not wide). Would that mass of water constitute a "river" to you? It's an oceanic strait which takes half an hour to cross by high speed ferry.
At the beginning, you were pointing to something you referred to as a salad. I just wanted to inform you that it is not a salad. It's a shrimp sandwich on a rye bread. That is a typical Swedish thing, the shrimp sandwich which should be overflowing with shrimp, of course :)
You Americans don't have the Lollo Rosso (red and white) salad in your great country? Because the man calls it Cabbage! This is so funny!... 🤣😂🙈🙈🙈... So I go on and quote him..."I don't know what meat is in this"... and then he talks about Tuna? It's called Skagenröra and it actually says "Shrimp Salad" on the shelf. So obviously there's shrimp in it. Why is the lady so surprised by the tray carts? In addition, there are these carts on which you can stack three trays in three levels, also in the USA.
Scandihorse is too broad, specific to the landscape and county of dalarna but sure they are a thing in most of the nordics. They are good luck or whatever... dalarna is my rival county so most here do not buy things with those symbols. Here we have the burning straw-goat which many belive is good luck aswell when it burns that is, which is illegal. We are also famous for a boy nicknamed gävlepojken(town name+boy) who went on tour and pointed out witches to burn and drown to the locals. We are the evil neighbour of dalarna I guess... hehe Greetings from Gävle, Gävleborg.
Brand-new IKEA has opened in Copenhagen. NO CAR PARKING!! But over 500 bicycle and cargobikes spots and chargers for electric bikes. Heavy and big things will be delivered. The shop is very close to S-train. It also features a garden on the roof.
You didn't need to cross the bridge, as we also have several Ikeas in and around Copenhagen in Denmark. One close to my present home in Taastrup 😁! And in Denmark we have a town named: Middelfart.
Yes i´m Swedish.I liked your video alot,thank you.The Scandi Horse is the original Tourist trinket probably originate from the introduction of railways in Sweden in the late 1800´s. These horses are still crafted from Wood and handpainted in different colourmarkings.They are available to buy in the US,(N.Y,L.A,New Orleans,Chicago,Pittsburg ,Seattle etc.OH),.-The water between Malmo ,(Sweden)and Denmark is actually part of the Atlantic Ocean called the Oresund,-NOT a RIVER !!!.Lots of mysterious Russian ships passing there now.
Dear friends! Malmö is not across the river from Denmark, it is across the sea - salt water. Invest in a map and avoid confirming the somewhat widespread opinion that Americans have no idea of geograpy!
just gets irritating when u say scandi style. what is that? call a shrimp sandwich a sallad, a dalahäst a scandi horse. get ur facts right before u say what or how things are. and im quite sure danish, finish, norwegian and swedish ppl dont like to be called as the same
First of all its Swedish not Scandinavian.. And its an DALA HORSE from Sweden .. try using Google sometimes .. "A cross the river " American being American .....
@@disKoverwithKatieandAndrew Sure, but you forgot the horses in your rely, though. They are called "Dala horses", because they specifically come from the region "Dalarna" in Sweden. I have no idea where you get "Scandi-horse" from, we have seperate countries in Scandinavia, with seperate cultures, in general it is quite insulting to have your own culture generalized by saying it in such a way. I'm sure it is purely from ignorance on your part, however it is still annoying to listen to. Our cultures may be closesly related, but they are quite distinct. I'm sure a Norwegian would be equally insulted if you called their famous, patterned, wool shirts (Lusekofta), "Scandi-shirts", or or the Dane's Lego "Scandi-bricks". A proper Dala horse: The general shape of the horse is the same, but a real Dala horse is intrically decorated in different patterns. If you want a proper, Swedish, Dala horse, get one of those. They are normally red as the base color, and the decorations can have a lot of variation. Google it.
@@disKoverwithKatieandAndrew Yes please. The I is like the i in finger, then a K, the E is like the e/a in hey/hay, and the A is like the a in ah or u in up 🙂
@@Axessor I say renå but it's up to France people to cortect me. In sweden and probably the rest of europe, i is said like in in, AmerIca and lot of wotds in USA, but it's not ee.
@@birrextio6544 Well if you’re from the south of Sweden you probably pronounce the rolling R similar to the French, the rest of us don’t. Nothing wrong with that. My point is that there are millions of companies from all over the world and it’s impossible to first look up where that company originates from and then pronounce it in their native language.
@@Axessor My point is only that Americant cant say IKEA even if they have 4 other 'i" in the title that is said right. But there is always one that must argue.
As an American who has been living in Sweden for the past 26 years, I have to admit that I found this couple to be extremely embarrassing! Then I remembered the first time I traveled from Northern Germany, where I lived for nine years, to Stockholm, Sweden by train and I was astounded that the train had to board a ferry in order to cross the ocean strait separating Denmark and Sweden. 🫢 I had just assumed that Scandinavia was one land mass. These days the ferry is no longer necessary due to the Öresund Bridge.
It's not called Scandi horse, it's a Dala horse and it's not a scandinavian thing it's a swedish thing. A very local item from Dalarna, Sweden.

It is not a "scandinavian horse". It is a tradition from the part of Sweden called "dalarna". The name for the horse is 'dalahäst'= horse from dalarna

Jag var på Ikea i Uddevalla i Sverige häromdagen & jag köpte bland annat lite matlådor osv!
Which river
raw balls, that's way more PC then we used to call them back when I was young...
I used to have the same blue/white striped shirt as katie, but then i stopped working as a waiter 😅
Hey servers make a lot of money so we are ok with this. haha
The first Ikea in the world is in Älmhult Sweden (Ikea museum)
The largest in the world is Ikea Kungens Kurva Stockholm
The largest now is in Goyang, South Korea: 163 000 m², it opened 2018. But Stockholm is on second place
Nice view of a parking lot😅😅
Haha
Family parking is not really a Swedish thing, but rather European.
Very fancy
River! 😂
You're a lovely couple!
Typically ignorant American couple rather.
Thanks! We do what we can. haha
OH please dont call them scandihorses, they are swedish not scandinvian and are called dalahäst (horse from Dalarna)
the bottel is for strain juices lik berry juices to get rid of peel ans seeds
Cool! Thanks for the info
@@disKoverwithKatieandAndrew at least i think so I what I would han use it for
Scandihorse is too broad, specific to the landscape and county of dalarna but sure they are a thing in most of the nordics. They are good luck or whatever... dalarna is my rival county so most here do not buy things with those symbols. Here we have the burning straw-goat which many belive is good luck aswell when it burns that is, which is illegal. We are also famous for a boy nicknamed gävlepojken(town name+boy) who went on tour and pointed out witches to burn and drown to the locals. We are the evil neighbour of dalarna I guess... hehe
Greetings from Gävle, Gävleborg.
The north sea lake 😅
Brand-new IKEA has opened in Copenhagen. NO CAR PARKING!! But over 500 bicycle and cargobikes spots and chargers for electric bikes. Heavy and big things will be delivered. The shop is very close to S-train. It also features a garden on the roof.
Yoou were eating a seafood salad and rye bread
is a special shrimp salad from Skagen. so to 99% served on toast.
Americans not being able to tell the difference between tuna and shrimp. Oh dear me!
@@PUTDEVICEit isn’t from Skagen, it is a Swedish invention!
@@GMDahlberg yes i know it is called skagenröra because it is named after the sea between Denmark and Sweden, the sea is called Skagerrak
@@PUTDEVICEno it is named after the Danish town of Skagen - but you would have to look very hard for it there since it isn’t a Danish dish.
You didn't need to cross the bridge, as we also have several Ikeas in and around Copenhagen in Denmark. One close to my present home in Taastrup 😁! And in Denmark we have a town named: Middelfart.
They have sallad?? Its an sandwich
Yes i´m Swedish.I liked your video alot,thank you.The Scandi Horse is the original Tourist trinket probably originate from the introduction of railways in Sweden in the late 1800´s.
These horses are still crafted from Wood and handpainted in different colourmarkings.They are available to buy in the US,(N.Y,L.A,New Orleans,Chicago,Pittsburg ,Seattle etc.OH),.-The water between Malmo ,(Sweden)and Denmark is actually part of the Atlantic Ocean called the Oresund,-NOT a RIVER !!!.Lots of mysterious Russian ships passing there now.
Actually it's a toy for children and even older then that.
Nott river its ocean
skatt = treasure not darling
The most signifikant is that you cant buy Absolut country of Sweden vodka i swedish ikea…😂
Dear friends! Malmö is not across the river from Denmark, it is across the sea - salt water. Invest in a map and avoid confirming the somewhat widespread opinion that Americans have no idea of geograpy!
Going over the river ??!!! wtf
First time a women left IKEA with only 2 purchased items...
"They also have it in English!!!" Americans ....
Inte konstigt att ni är generellt så mycket större i USA!?😂
Det heter IKEA, inte AJKIÄ.
theyre only swedish horses, not scnadinavian
@0:30 The river? Wth? Americans....
😂
If you're really in to Ikea, you should have gone to the one in Stockholm. It's way larger than the one in Malmö
IM not dekoration from USA,i live and Are born in gothenburg 😊
11:00
just gets irritating when u say scandi style. what is that? call a shrimp sandwich a sallad, a dalahäst a scandi horse. get ur facts right before u say what or how things are. and im quite sure danish, finish, norwegian and swedish ppl dont like to be called as the same
First of all its Swedish not Scandinavian.. And its an DALA HORSE from Sweden .. try using Google sometimes .. "A cross the river " American being American .....
Why you pronounce it eyekea? Also we call those horses "Dala horses".
Ikea is the American pronunciation in our advertisements here. We should probably say it the Swedish way!
@@disKoverwithKatieandAndrew Sure, but you forgot the horses in your rely, though. They are called "Dala horses", because they specifically come from the region "Dalarna" in Sweden.
I have no idea where you get "Scandi-horse" from, we have seperate countries in Scandinavia, with seperate cultures, in general it is quite insulting to have your own culture generalized by saying it in such a way. I'm sure it is purely from ignorance on your part, however it is still annoying to listen to. Our cultures may be closesly related, but they are quite distinct. I'm sure a Norwegian would be equally insulted if you called their famous, patterned, wool shirts (Lusekofta), "Scandi-shirts", or or the Dane's Lego "Scandi-bricks".
A proper Dala horse:
The general shape of the horse is the same, but a real Dala horse is intrically decorated in different patterns. If you want a proper, Swedish, Dala horse, get one of those. They are normally red as the base color, and the decorations can have a lot of variation. Google it.
@@disKoverwithKatieandAndrew Yes please. The I is like the i in finger, then a K, the E is like the e/a in hey/hay, and the A is like the a in ah or u in up 🙂
Was waiting for her to yell "I want to talk to the manager!
I have no clue why you say Eyekea in Ammerica.
It's the same I as in Katie, visit and so on, it's not Amereyecans.
Just details, but why?
Yes why!?
Guess if you want to explain it to an american you would write it as Eekea, maybe.
Do you pronounce Renault like a frenchman or Toyota like a Japanese?
@@Axessor I say renå but it's up to France people to cortect me.
In sweden and probably the rest of europe, i is said like in in, AmerIca and lot of wotds in USA, but it's not ee.
@@birrextio6544 Well if you’re from the south of Sweden you probably pronounce the rolling R similar to the French, the rest of us don’t. Nothing wrong with that.
My point is that there are millions of companies from all over the world and it’s impossible to first look up where that company originates from and then pronounce it in their native language.
@@Axessor My point is only that Americant cant say IKEA even if they have 4 other 'i" in the title that is said right.
But there is always one that must argue.
Ikea pleeease, not Ajkea. But nice you are do positive.
As an American who has been living in Sweden for the past 26 years, I have to admit that I found this couple to be extremely embarrassing! Then I remembered the first time I traveled from Northern Germany, where I lived for nine years, to Stockholm, Sweden by train and I was astounded that the train had to board a ferry in order to cross the ocean strait separating Denmark and Sweden. 🫢 I had just assumed that Scandinavia was one land mass. These days the ferry is no longer necessary due to the Öresund Bridge.
scandi here and scandi there, i cringe everytime i hear that.
