- This is part two of a box sent to us by one of our Swedish subscribers. In this video we make dips that can be found in Sweden and then we taste them with cucumbers and crisps. We also try two different flavors of Swedish crisps!
In part one we tried cheesy snacks, some sweets, and a ton of pick-n-mix candy so if you haven't seen that video yet, then check it out here: • Americans Trying Swedi...

We hope you enjoyed the video! We are curious to know...are these dips common in Sweden and if so which one is your favorite?
OLW and Estrella are the two leading crisp/snack companies in Sweden and they are both very common. The dips are commonly eaten with crisps or vegetables on friday or saturday night. When it comes to my favourite dip, it's without a doubt Hot Holiday
My favorite is "roasted onion" i also use the onion and garlic dip in meatloaf and meatballs,
holiday dip and estrella grill chips is the best
Nacho cheese or chili cheese in which yiu dip carrots, cucumber, and green pepper. Yum
Really common, last time we had it togheter with vegetables. :)
2:08 Someone, please send them a decilitermått förfan!
LOL!
@Kevin Popov Bara det att dom sa i videon att dom inte hade någon aning om hur mycket en deciliter var och därför ringde några vänner som förklarade ungefär hur mycket det var...
hahah you made me laugh! De borde få hela mätskalan + måttstock! + vickt!
HAHA
@Kevin Popov Väldigt vanligt att folk blandar med créme Fraiche istället för gräddfil, en liten créme Fraiche är på 2dl, det är säkert det dom menar med att det inte behöver vara 3dl.
If the chip break you have to send in a rescue one to swoop it up with. That is also a rule in Sweden 😉
Ahhh...makes sense! “Rescue chip” is a great name 😁
Both is equally as common. Estrella and OLW is the biggest brands of crisps and dips in Sweden.
Yes it's like Coke or Pepsi for snacks.
Even though Estrella was first with dips (and had my favorite - Blue Cheese)
Every store that sell crisps in Sweden sell OLW and Estrella. Pringles are quite common too and I have also seen a brand that should be familiar to you in a number of places - Lay's.
@@tommiejonsson8952 You can get Lay's in pretty much every supermarket in Sweden these days ;)
OLW is far better :)
OLW is short for Old London Wasa. Wasa from the company Wasabröd (Wasabread) that makes hard bread "knäckebröd". And Old London was the name of an american company's (Borden Foods) factory in New York. Wasa wanted to make snacks and made a deal with Borden Foods and created Cheez Doodles. They were only allowed to use the name Old London Wasa for a limited amount of years. So when the contract was over they just changed it to OLW.
We just had those cheese doodles in our last video!
Huh, i didn't know that.
Good to know.
Estrella currently has its home in my hometown, Gothenburg.
The brand was founded as early as 1946… With the import of bananas.
At that time, Folke Andersson was a true entrepreneur who could do business with most things. Juicer, caravans and much more were in his shop. But before the snack production started, it was mainly bananas that Folke was dealing with! He imported bananas from South America, and even today there is a football stadium named after him in Ecuador. Imports from South America are also what influenced the company name "Estrella" - which means "Star" in Spanish.
In 1957, Folke Andersson tasted potato chips for the first time, during a boxing match in New York. It was the tastiest he's ever eaten. Folke decided to start making potato chips at home in Sweden.
This makes Estrella the first company in Sweden to manufactor chips
Dill is an important herb in Sweden. It flavors mainly fish dishes, but also salads, snacks and snaps. The good thing is you can't overdose on dill. It has a maximum level flavor that doesn't increase if you add to it. And you want quite a bit of it. It's not pungent or overpowering in the least. Try fresh dill and caraway in your boiled potatoes. Let the caraway cook along the potatoes and add fresh dill in the last minutes of cooking. Stalks can cook along, the fine plumes are added last for decoration and more flavor. Sprinkle some salt and you're good to go. Goes well with any type of fish or red meat. If you can't find fresh dill, dried works almost as good.
Oh, and we don't pronounce Estrella in Spanish. It's "es-TRE-la".
Did not know that about dill! That’s so cool.
@@FromtheHobbitHole Also, pickling salt cucumbers with dill (in a sweetened/sour pickle juice) is amazing with various kinds of salty meats (like Salisbury steak).
According to the Estrella site:
"Ranch" in USA vs. Sweden
Ranch taste in USA is often something different than in Sweden. In Sweden, Ranch often refers to a flavor combination of tomato, onion, herbs, pepper and cheese. In USA, classic Ranch is a combo of i.a. onions, garlic, herbs, spices and mustard!
Thanks for sharing! Having mustard and garlic in the American version and then pepper and cheese in Sweden’s version definitely does make a difference
Good tip here: Carrots go really well also with these dips! :)
Mixing dip is so much easier using a fork than a spoon. Try it.
Yes, I was just about to comment that. -Swedish dip mixer since 1989.
Hmmm...never thought of that! Thanks for the tip 😊
I was going to comment this. But the I saw your post 😆
@Marko Petrovic I always use a miniature whisk. Not the ballon type but the one shaped as a circle at the bottom. WAY better than a fork! Try it!🙂
this is what u get for your traditional swedish family movie night on fridays haha. (because you don't get candy until saturday)
That's the good thing by being adult, you can eat everyday, the dentist becomes happy aswell.
"We in here the United States had no clue what a deciliter was". Every time I hear this I laugh a bit. It's so fascinating to me that a system is totally dominant in the whole world except three countries USA, Myanmar and Liberia) is so unknown by people in the US. This means that roughly 95% or the world's population uses a system that is so unknown. I'm not trying to throw any stones in any direction, it just baffles me. Regards from a fellow Swede.
Yeah a system based on 10s, it's too difficult for them? :P
@@ESPirits87 Nah, it's because pretty much everything in USA uses the imperial system. Just imagine how much it'd cost for the army to re-adapt to another unit of measurement, pretty big deal. All the new tools, re-designing of mechanical parts and so on and so forth...
Imperial isn't too hard to work out the basics of since it's a binary system :)
@@Dealman15 The army, navy, air force, marines and coast guards are already fully metric. And most, if not all, car manufacturers are using metric.
Usa använder det metriska systemet fast det är bara militär forskning fabriker nasa som använder det. finns t.o.m. en väg som använder km istället för mph.
@@darkiee69 Welp, I stand corrected then. I'm pretty sure money is still one of the biggest deciding factors.
The swedish crisp game is and always will be on point
In Sweden we boil the potatos with dill at midsommer (some does it at easter and X-mas to). Potato goes greate with dill.
And chive is used in a lot of cold sauces that goes with the midsummer food.
That ”O” at 8:00, is almost the perfect Swedish proonounciation for ”O”, as in the brand OLW. But you can cut it short a bit. :)
Thanks for the video, very fun to see people try stuff you grew up with, for the first time.
Thanks for letting us know! 😃 Glad you enjoyed the video so much!! ☺️
Yes, also dip fresh cauliflower and carrot spears, totally awesome!
Agreed!
@@FromtheHobbitHole Carrot spears and Holiday dip is my favourite combination.
...and radishes...
And cucumber 👏🏻
It's so fun and intresting watching you guys experience something I've grown up with and loved all my life! Great stuff!
Glad you enjoyed it!
A tip, try mix the ranch or holiday or Fredh island dip with some fried pieces of bacon and some fried pieces of chicken, then use it as topping on baked potatoes.
A super quick and delicious Friday dinner.
That sounds delicious!
Wow, this sounds soo yummy!!!
Today alot of new crisp makers pop up in Sweden.. and they are one of a kind.. the best Estrella and Olw lags behind!
Funny fact I where at a job interview at Estrella here in Gothenburg as an machine repairer.. didn´t take the job so work with sealings for the offshore/nuclear industry around the world.
Hi, thank you for a lovely video :) So, we say estrella with hard R and L. And OLW like "O-L-V". Dill and chive chips are my favourite, I´m happy you got to try some! Have a nice day
Edit: oh yeah, holiday! Don´t know if it means anything special. We use the word "semester" for vacation-holiday and "högtid" for like chistmas-holiday. They probs just put holiday on there to make it sound americanized, since chip and dip is american rather than swedish. Like "fresh island" too is just to make it sound american, and ranch is just ripped right from o.g. ranch from the u.s. ;D
You are very welcome Anne-Lie! We are glad you enjoyed the video. 😊 So you call your vacations/holidays semesters? That’s a new one to us! We are used to semesters being a specific timeframe of the school year.
@@FromtheHobbitHole yes and the longer time you get off school every now and then is called lov like christams-lov and summer-lov.
@@supersimme The brand Estrella is apparently supposed to be pronounced with the letter L and not J as heard in this commecial ruclips.net/video/Hnc4RYURdjk/видео.html it also says so on the wikipedia site and it is Swedish after all and so am i.
@@FromtheHobbitHole semester not semesters, no s in the end.
dill chips we mostly dont dip, commonly most used is salt chip natural taste with any dip.
I think OLW is the most popular brand, but Estrella is definitely up there. I personally prefer Estrella chips just because they're much crispier than OLW. My parents refused to give us chips as children, so we grew up with cucumber, carrot and bell pepper "spears" with holiday dip every friday.
We noticed how the Estrella chips were crispier than OLW
I think that depends on who you ask!
You guys need to widen your cousine. Every single holiday, secular as religious, has its very specific season related smorgasbord dishes well worth a try. You've got tonnes of stuff explore...
Keep the spirit up. Great work. ❤️
Cucumbers and carrot spears are common to dip
Im more in to cheese doodles than the crisps...we are probably more referring holiday to vacation.
We like dipping those vegetables too.
Another great video, i have tried some of those things and i absolutely LOVE those dill crisps. Was good to hear what you thought of everything
Thanks, Helen! 💚💛
For Cheese doodles and dip I think OLW is the best but for crisps Estrella wins hands down..
Wow I've come across your past few videos on youtube and I love 'em! You're so sweet together reviewing things!
Glad you like our crisps and dip!
Greetings from a fellow Swede
Hello! Thanks for the kind compliments. 😊 It’s nice to hear when people like yourself enjoy the videos we make 😁
Hey there! I live in Sweden! And how i understand the thing about "Holiday" is that we actually had a crisp flavoure called "Holiday" wich was removed from the stores! So they came up with the "Holiday" flavoured dip instead. :) At least thats what i got to learn about it! :)
Are you sure the dip didn't come first? I see the launch year of the crisps as 2013 but the dip is alot older than that. (I can't say for sure that the crisps arent a relaunch though)
The Holiday dip has been around for at least 40 years, if not even longer.
And the Holiday chips were born 2013. No relaunch😅
Fun fact: A lot of people think potato chips were invented in the US, but as it turns out the first mention of what we now know as potato chips/crisps (thin slices of potato deep-fried in some form) is from an English cookbook some fifty years or so before the US variety was officially invented. The more you know.
"OLW" is prononuced o-el-ve =)
"För att ni älskar det goda!"
I like crisps made of lentils and peas flour the best. They are populsir here
Dill and Gräslök dip is my favorite! :D
In Finland those Estrella dip powders are mixed with 2dl of kermaviili which is kind of sour cream but with less fat.
I love that you had cucumber with the fresh island flavor! It's my absolute favorite and it's always the one sold out first where I live lmao
I'm an Estrella boy, I think they have crispier chips than OLW which I personally like
Grillchips Needs to be OLW though. Rest I can agree with.
Yes this are both the big brands of chips and dip in sweden. I sometime put more sour cream and pour over raw chicken and then cook in the oven. The ranch and holiday makes great sauces
Sounds delicious!
We call the chips in sweden so it should be perfectly fine to call them just that. We arent english. :)
We are used to calling them crisps in all of our UK tasting videos 😜
These are the two biggest snack brands. But are some other popular brands that specialize in crisps that are kettle-style and with interesting spices and herbal flavors. I usually prefer those. Svenska LantChips and Gårdschips.
For an even taste, I usually let my dip cool in the refrigerator for about 15-30 minutes to make sure that the sour cream absorbs the mix and its flavors.
My favourite, and also a childhood memory, is the dill an chives taste, with the dips in the same taste but i also like the holiday dip with different vegetables, my favourite are cucumber, pepper and cauliflower. I prefer the vegetables with dip before the chips. 😊
Dill-& gräslök is my 🙌🏻❤️ of all time. And Holiday with cucumber, minicarrots and peppers is great.... I also use Holidaydip as my hamburgerdressing/sauce 🤩
Holiday dip on hamburger sounds amazing!
My favorites are fresh island dip with black pepper crisps ,some swap the
sour cream for a thicker yoghurt. In Sweden this is one of the best ways for parents to make their kids eat vegetables. The dips are a great combination with cherrytomatoes, celery stalks, cucamber, bellpeppers & carrots cut in spears obviously.
We love dips with all kinds of veggies, too! It definitely does help one eat vegetables having them covered in flavoring 😜
Holiday dip works best out of any dip with veggies, but I also like it with any chip!
My favorite swedish dip is probably OLW's nacho cheese. I usually spice it up with mixing a pinch of cayenne pepper in it.
Fun video, but now I’m hungry!! Gonna go grab some crisps and ranch dip!! Keep the food tastings coming!! 👍
Glad you enjoyed it, Julie! Enjoy your crisps and ranch!!
Both are always found in the stores, I think they are the most common brands we have in Sweden. I like Ranch in the OLW dip. And Estrella when it comes to chips.
Just commenting before I watch that I'm so excited that you're tasting my favorite potato chips 🤩
Also my favorite dip 🤩
If you are metric impaired, quickest way to check is to just google "3 dl in cups" and it'll give you the results. (1,26803 cups)
Day of the Tentacle!
But they are americans and doesn't have 1.26803 cups. Too many decimals....😉😀
😂”metric impaired” 🤣
We did do that, but then we weren’t sure if they had given us the right “cups” measurement because apparently there are a few different ones in the world. So to be safe, we check with friends that we have in the Nordic countries 😉
Holiday is my favorite with chips but sometimes with cucumber and/or carrot sticks.
sometimes cucumbers and even carrots are used with those dips. i actually think its better.
You are so sweet in how you approach the tasting. It just feels so respectful. Glad that you liked them.
I prefer OLW to Estrella, and my favourite dips are actually Holiday, Ranch and Fresh Island. There is a spicy Holiday though that is suuuper good too. :)
Why do you call them crisps instead of chips? :) If you do it to try to say it the way we do over where, we actually say chips like you do.
OMGOODNESS IDK how I missed this video. Those dips looked yummy. And the whole time (you can ask Vicki) I was like “stop your potato allergy.”
😂😂😂
Carrot sticks together with the Fresh Island dip! 🤤 best combo!
Hi, my absolute favourite is Holliday, and the best is to peel carrots and then make sticks out of them and dip, you should try that. OLW is an abbreviation for Old London Wasa. I wish you a Happy New Year.
We do like carrots and dip! Happy new year to you too!!
We Swedes say "chips". Most of us speak more of an American English.
Swedes are very health conscious. A big thing in snacks the last couple of years, are chips and cheese doodles made of lentils. 40% less fat, vegan, gluten free and full of protein.
It´s cheaper and almost as easy to make your own dip with sour cream. Just ad salt and your choices of dried spices and a pinch of sugar. I usually put in some finely chopped onion.
A surprise and almost a life hack, is to dip Salt & Vinegar chips in plain sour cream. It will blow your mind. ;)
Dipping Salt & Vinegar chips in plain sour cream is brilliant and so simple! Thanks for the fun tip. We’ve also come across lentil based snacks here in the States, and they are quite good!
My Favorite for many years was to dip the Sourcream and Union Chips in the Dill and Gräslök dip, it's a so unexpected and good combination!
It sounds like a great combination!
Those dips look like a lot of fun, and yeah, spears were the way to go!
Yes! "Holliday" I guess is means vaccation. Because I don't see any connection to any swedish holliday with the taste of it..
You can also tase carrot-spears or pices of califlower if you want healthier snacks to dip.
I guess. Or it could be like a collective word for a "special" occasion like birthdays, weekends, party or when you just wanna treat yourself with something special maybe. "TV decadence" would be a better name ;)
Seems like enough sourcream about 2:48 in the video. I bet you enjoyed everything too. Keep doing awesome content!
Hot tip. Those Dill chips together with Marabou chocolate! Either mjölkchoklad or Apelsinkrokant!
In Sweden sour cream usually come in perfect 3 dl cups. So i just pour my dip straight into the sour cream cup. Perfect cup for dipping. :P
Also...I'm not sure of the exact number. But there is around 8-10 flavors from each of the 2 brands.
That’s super helpful having the containers being the exact size!
Except, gräddfil is MUCH better for dip! 😁
@@attesmatte But that is what it means. Did you have it mixed up with crème fraîche?
@@thobiasr1472
Ooh, you're absolutely right! I thought sour cream was their crappy version of creme fraiche, but it's actually gräddfil! 😂 This explains a lot! 😂🙈
@@FromtheHobbitHole I think the bags are designed to match the common serving size of gräddfil, it’s not random luck :-)
Yaaaaaay more videos. Keep being awesome 😃
Holiday is like Christmas / Easter in Sweden too. Vacation is time off work. 30 days off / year ❤️
Estrella is pronounced estrella you pronounce the l as l not j, that’s mostly because Swedes generally speaking don’t tend to speak Spanish. We mispronounce the word
I miss OLW dill chips...so need a visit at the nearest Scandinavian market.
If you have an ikea nearby you can get it there. Way cheaper aswell
I'm from Sweden and got relatives in California, they are also sold on the Dill chips, he said it doesn't exist in the US?, or maybe he just preferred OLW.
OLW dill chips are the BEST!! 😍
@@philipandersson876 ah thanks for that tip. I am now reminded how much cheaper the cloudberry is at Ikea too.
@@ESPirits87 sadly seems that way. I haven’t found them in California either yet.
OLW Dill was my solid favorite when living in Sweden. I’ll give the Ikea ones a go if I can find them. Nomnomnom
Holiday is a very bad translation from the swedish word "helg", which means both "holiday" and "weekend". Potato chips are a traditional weekend snack in Sweden. The dip should be called "Weekend".
Ahhh...now that makes sense!
@Jäs Please Exactly, thank you. Holiday, like you have the weekend off from work. We have that Holiday dip here in Norway too, and it's one of my top favourites. And I also like the Ranch one, but unfortunately, we can't get that here. But Holiday goes with almost any chips, because the flavor isn't owerpowering. And I agree with Nathan and Hailey, the dill/gräslök one probably would be good with some nice fried fish. And they're right, gräslök is chives in english. It translates from swedish to something like "Grass onion", as it looks like grass straws, but has that onion like taste to it.
Sour-cream and onion dip by Estrella is my favorite dip with cucumbers and carrots
One of my favorite dip and chips combinations are dill dip with dill chips both by Estrella.
The dill dip and dill chips combo is a good one.
Yeah Holiday is my favorite too.
Though it's rare to eat flavoured crisps and dip. I think most people just have salted crisps with dip.
Hi guy's.To me a Holly day is like a semester in the summertime.Great video by the way.
Thanks!! ☺️
My all time favorite scent is the smell of a freshly opened bag of Dill & Gräslök chips. =)
It does smell amazing!
the dill and gräslök (dill and chives) is the most classic. 3 dl is about 1 and a half cup, one cup is about 2 dl.
About Estrella.
The company was founded by entrepreneur Folke Andersson in 1946. Back then they imported bananas from South America so it is the spanish word for "star". Folke went to New York in the 50s and tasted potato chips for the first time and loved them. He then started manufacturing snacks himself. Estrella is located outside Gothenburg.
Thanks for the history lesson! 😊
@@FromtheHobbitHole Visited Estrella many times for work so have it fresh in mind. Also been eating waaay to much snacks over the years....🙂
Great channel btw!👍
What’s wrong with eating lots of snacks?? 😜 And thank you! 😊💚💛
My favorite one is Holiday. It's also the original. The flavor is green, red and yellow paprika (bell pepper) onion and garlic, and MSG lol. We have them in Norway too, but it's under a different brand name called Maarud, but the packaging is the same and the same parent company. Same with the chips. English word holiday refers to vacation, or a break from routine in Scandinavia, but the direct translation "helligdag" is used for holiday season like in the states.
Thanks for the insight on the “holiday” word! And don’t you just love msg? 😜
tzatziki-dipp with vegetables like cucumber, carrot and cauliflower.😋😋😋
We love tzatziki!!
@@FromtheHobbitHole I don't remember if it OLW or Estrella do. 🤔.and in Sweden it's Chips, and in UK Crisp..👍
In my experience, OLW and Estrella are about as common in the North of Sweden at least. Any mid-sized supermarket I can think of usually has two stands or some other space where they can display every available flavor for either brand but they usually don't put them next to each other. For instance, one brand on each end of the snacks-section or sometimes next to the sour-cream.
Personally, my favorite is probably Holiday, it tastes great dipping cucumber sticks, baby carrots, or bell pepper wedges too
Edit: I wrote this prior to watching the entire video so I hadn't seen you do the cucumbers :)
Nacho Cheese is my absolute favorite from OLW. You should try that one! It really stands out from the others since they usally use garlic, pepper and stuff like that in most dips which makes most dips taste a little bit the same. No dip is tasting like Nacho Cheese since it doesn't use those common ingridients that most dips use. The cheese taste is soooo good! .. ;)
There is another brand called Lantchips and aims at our Swedish potato cultivation. To promote Swedish farmers or potato farmers as we say.
It is a harder chip that is available in different flavors that are manufactured by a small company but it is available throughout the country.
That’s awesome!
My favorite dips are Holiday and Sour cream and onion. I always ask my parents to send some whenever they are sending me a package. (I live in Germany) Sour cream and onion dip is really good as a salad dressing as well. We usually mix it with a tiny bit of milk (after it is mixed like you did).
Food thinking with the addition of the milk!
Holiday taste is Bellpeppers and onions that are the big flavours,
Dill and chives( the green pack) is my favourite, and I use it for the crisps with the same flavour.
The fresh island is similar to Rhode island dressing so thats probably why it goes well with vegetables.
And ranch is ranch but I think the colour comes from tomato powder.
And all of them is 4 of the most popular dips here. And yes you can mix them with naturall yoghurt to make sauses with less fat and they are good to eat with Other foods like grilled meat, but you have it like on the side you dont marinate the meat with it. Dill and chives, and holiday is also good to mix into unsalted butter to just put some on fish or meat right before eating. I also sometimes use holiday even I want a better/ intense taste of bellpepper in some recepies.
Didn’t think how fresh island and Rhode Island are similar flavors. Good to know that you do t actually use the dip in dressing form as a marinade.
I think we have like 15-20 different dips in Sweden and a lot of different crisp flavors to choose from but my favorite crisps are either the parmesan flavored potato crisps or if I don't want potato crisps we have sourcream and onion lentil crisps. Don't really have a favorite dip but if I have to choose one it would be the 3xLök(3XOnion). It's a dip with red onion, garlic, yellow onion, and ramsons(wild garlic?).
My favorites are OLW Sour Cream and Onion Chips, OLW Ranch Dip, Estrella Salt and Vinegar Chips, Estrella Holiday Dip.
The Holiday dip is marketing.
"Make the dip" ...so funny 😂😂
😅😉
Estrella means star in Spanish and a star appears in Estrella's logo. The trademark was registered in 1946 by Folke Anderson, who at the time owned several banana plantations in South America. Estrella began its business by selling popcorn via popcorn wagons in Western Sweden.
My favorite dip is probably Fresh Island, or Ranch (different brands but quite similar).
About OLW (O L V) or Estrella, both are somewhat the leading brands. They usualy has somewhat similar "flavors" but different "tastes" and names.
Carrot spears are also common (instead of cucumber).
We like dipping carrots into dips as well! Along with broccoli, cauliflower, cherry tomatoes, and celery.
Holiday for us is vaccation, like going away for summer
in Spanish, esterella is also used for movie stars (as well as Actor and Actriz = actor and actress)
That's because estrella means star in Spanish like you know a star....
Matching the right dip with different chips is a science in Sweden 😀
We have so many chips brands and there are a lot of small manufacturers making great chips (crisps).
It will take years to perfect you favourite combo 👍🏻
Bet it will!
So the thing that make the other ones not vegan friendly is that they tend to have whey and quite often skimmed milk powder. The sign on the Holiday mix was added quite recently but it has always been vegan, at least they did not raise the price when that happened. (OLW recently made some vegan dip-mixes, but those are more expensive then the once you have there)
As for the brands, OLW has had a few owner through the years but except from Borden Foods investment when they started it has been kept in the Nordic countries at least. Meanwhile Estrella while started as a Swedish company had Kraft Foods as owners but are now owned by Norweigan Herkules Private Equity Fund. For how common it is, you will find both in most stores and people will have strong opinions on what brand is best.
Holiday dip is marketed as the most sold one too, but I can't find the reason for the name. I guess it is just beause it is a nice sounding English word and you eat chips when you have time off.
Also you pronunce Estrella with hard lls so not in the Spanish way.
It’s interesting that the Holiday name is just a fun name and doesn’t seem to have any meaning. Thanks for the comment packed full of great info!
@@FromtheHobbitHole Yeah, it's not about any specific holiday at least (although, I can see why you might think so, considering the name).
I think it could be intended more in sense that the British use "holiday" as their preferred word for "vacation", but I feel like it's really just a name that is supposed to sound kind of nice and relaxed (possibly by way of invoking thoughts of summer vacation?). The name being in English might give it a bit more leeway as "just a name that sounds nice" as well.
It's one of these products that have been around for ages, too. The manufacturer does not really allude to why it has the name in current marketing at least, and I don't believe it has been any clearer in the last few decades at least.
Well, whether the mix is vegan friendly or not doesn't really matter if you mix it with a dairy product.
We call the weekend holiday (helgdag in Swedish), since Sunday is a holy day literally.
recommends that also dip with
Carrot. So good:)
This was great fun to watch! You just had the most common type of swedish crisps and by the look of you it seemed you enjoyed it. But there are many other flavors that I personally think is better. What is the most common type of crisps in the states.
I have always imagined that your products tastes like a sucker punch with the flavor the packaging tell. And by now you must have figured out that I’m a Swede (but with Finnish roots)
Estrella is the spanish word of star but we pronounce it with LL. The person who started Estrella owned some banana plantations in South America.
You should try out dipping carrots and red pepper in the holiday dip. It's really yummy. ^^
Bet it is!
We have one with only garlic too here in Sweden, to bad it wasn’t there for you to try. It’s my favourite 👅
Too bad is right!
Maybe someone have mentioned it but those mixes fits well with food as well, for example grilled meat.
I can’t live without dill chips. I eat one bag a week. Atleast.
Fresh Island is me and my girlfriends go to dip if not the Ranch dip is available. Goes great with the Sourcream & Onion chips or Cream Cheese chips.
Fresh island is my favourite. Here in Sweden it is almost impossible to eat chips without dip. My favourite mix is jalapeño chips (from coop brand) and garlic dip by estrella brand.
@
From the Hobbit Hole RANCH MIX is so good for bbq meals greeting from sweden
So fun seeing you taste some of my favorites, not often i eat Chrisps without dipp..😍😍
The name Holliday has no special meaning.
Fresh Island has also chrisp with the same flavour but i couldn’t find in small packages.
The Vics is more for sour throth, not to ease allergic reactions if you are getting symptoms when eating potatoes you should use Antihistamine usually all it is the starch in potatoes peel you should avoid.
No skin contact my son is also sensitive off the outer layer. Also Apple peel, kiwi peel so see if you having that to??
This is my own dipp
2dl Sour Cream
3-5 garlic cloves i love garlic 😍
Salt
White peppar
Grill seasoning
Paprika
Chili powder ( tiny
Blend well
Dipp away 😍😍
Glad you enjoyed watching it, Jenny! We had so much fun making and eating the dips!! I typically do take an antihistamine when my potato allergy is really bothering me. I have not had any similar reactions to any other foods. Also, thanks for the homemade dip recipe! We will have to try that 😉
Good to see u guys....❤
Those Dill n Graslok chips is my childhood favs ...I figured only the UK used the crisps word we use the chips as you guys ofc
We got in the habit of saying crisps in our tasting videos since we’ve primarily done UK snacks and candy, but typically we call them chips. Lol
