Hi! Dane here! Just dropping some facts about stuff in the video; - Leverpostej is, as you said, a liver paté and it is VERY popular here. it doesen't go on crackers tho, it goes on rugbrød or any other bread.. It mostly goes in lunchboxes and is eaten for lunch (or breakfast on a peace of white bread) and depending on the person, it can be topped with remolade, pickles, mayonaise, pickled beetroot and so much more (my fav is bacon lol) - The cocio (chocolate milk) is very danish! The stuff at the bottom is not syrup, but most likely the chocolate that sink. Cocio is made of sugar, chocolate and milk! that's it! You have to remember to shake it VERY well or it tastes kinda bland.. - Yes, here we (most of us atleast) are raised on ryebread, and bread with alot of seeds and protein and fibers. It is very rare that you see white bread, or even toast in kids lunchboxes, because it's so Danish and extremely normalised to eat healthy bread! - Nope! The potatoes aren't pickled! They're in a salt brine and are often made into carmelized potatoes around chrsitmas time (mostly at the christmas dinner on the 24th) Sorry if this sounded snobish, i just love educating people about my country :,)
No thank you.... no excuses.... Personally i am dead tired of foreigners coming here to make a video of our food, places, people, mentality etc and then gets everything wrong....
@@elifan06 "Pucko is a classic Swedish drink made from milk, sugar and chocolate. It is currently manufactured by Cocio in Denmark. Standard logo in 2021."
It is actually illegal in Denmark to charge the customer for an item if it falls and breaks. The stores are the ones taking the risk by having it displayed, so they take the loss. So there is no "you break, you buy" policy, as it is literally illegal.
I don’t think they can make you pay for it in the states or Canada either. They might ask, but unless they press charges because the damage was deliberate, they can’t force you to pay.
@@Davidisaname No it isn't. Assuming you are Danish since you commented on Danish law, here is a quote from Dansk Erhverv: "Hos Dansk Erhverv modtager vi jævnligt henvendelser fra medlemmer, der er i tvivl om, hvordan reglerne er, hvis en kunde kommer til at ødelægge en udstillingsvare i butikken. Udgangspunktet er, at kunden ikke skal betale, hvis der er tale om et hændeligt uheld."
Yeah, back in the day, in winter time, finding a hot dog stand (skinke kutter, if you know the Danish slang), you might see Cocio being kept warm on the plate ment to keep hot dog bread warm. It was heaven on a cold work day.
Salling is the Private Label for Føtex and Bilka. The two stores are owned by the Salling Group. Every price marked with red color on the LED-tags is on sale. The Lay's chips was on sale. Normal price per bag is aprox. Dkr. 25,00 - 34.00,- (USD 3.57 - 4.86) depending of the brand. The pickled potatoes is just cooked and peeled then filled with water. Typically used for caramelized potatoes. You can rinse them in cold water and eat them cold but I wouldn't recommend it. 😉
@@AnamiDK That is correct. I was in doubt if Netto also have Salling products. I didn't mention Netto because it's a discount market. I was focused in that Bilka is a Hypermarket and lastly Føtex is a supermarket and these to have the same brand and labels. Netto can have some own labels and brands that the others might not have.
@@ingloriousdaneNettos private label brands are named differently, but the products are the same. I work in netto and sometimes we’ll get a box or two of “Salling” products, which are identical to say “Snaxters” “Hello Sensitive” “Sereno” or “La Campagna” (Nettos private labels). So it’s the same product in a different packaging, but usually things are a bit cheaper in Netto.
Love your videos. 3:54 Since you ask about if milk needed to be refrigerated since thats whats in cocio here is some info about that. Cocio, a popular Danish chocolate milk brand, uses sterilized milk in its production. This type of milk undergoes a high-temperature sterilization process, which allows it to be stored without refrigeration until it's opened. The sterilization process ensures that the milk is free from bacteria and other microorganisms that could cause spoilage, making it shelf-stable. This is why Cocio chocolate milk does not need to be refrigerated until after it has been opened.
Yeah commonly labeled as UHT in most of Europe, but in the nordic countries it is rather uncommon with UHT products, chocolate milk like this is one exception. Here in Sweden in my stores the Cocio is still sold from a fridge.
@@mycide some supermarkets do that in my store they put 1 liter cacao in fridge even if it don’t need to be since people want them cold the same with whipped cream on cans some store put in fridge and some don’t since it don’t need to be refrigerated before after it got open

I agree with you that supermarket prices are not that bad in Denmark. When many tourists complain about the prices, then I think it is because they tend to buy from the tiny grocery store, or from 7/11, where the prices are typically 2-3 times higher than in a regular supermarket, where you guys went.
@michaelsrensen2452 ... There is no VAT sales taxes on food in England, while we pay 25%, so this is the main reason food is cheaper in England, unfortunately for the English their wages are also vastly lower on a average, so the English struggle with the price level even with no sales taxes, while food is actually cheaper in Denmark for a Dane in compare with the income level.
@michaelsrensen2452But our wages are much higher, we actually get something for our tax money that helps normal people get better lives. Or Coops aren't insane macho guys who shoot first and asking questions later. You have a good chance of getting a fair trial even if you are not wealthy and you can walk the streets safely in almost all of the country. But you take the trip and live abroad for a few years and the report back. I did. I learned a lot about what was actually valuable to me in my life, and tax rate was not really registering compared to other things. In Texas I only paid 22% tax but felt like I got nothing for it. Had to live in a gated community guarded by rent-a-cop like security to be safe. Paid road toll to use the nice roads. No tax paid dentist for kids so you see a lot of people with butt ugly smiles. And the list goes on. Just my 0.02$
@michaelsrensen2452 Even though you complain about taxes, then removing them would do nothing! The prices are rarely reflective of the actual product but rather the average resident's purchasing power. The proof is in Switzerland where they have little to no taxes and therefore each person has more money. But in return almost everything there costs TWICE as much as they do in Denmark.
@michaelsrensen2452 Our food prices are mainly due to corporate greed, not taxes, there are very few actors in the market and they are exploiting that shamelessly.
"you break it, you buy it" does not apply here. the store has insurance and won't force you to pay for something falling off the shelf or even you dropping it walking around
Copenhagen is simply gorgeous. I went to this supermarket a few times last year. The prices are externally high compared to Germany, it is also cheaper in Sweden. But the Danes also earn correspondingly well. Denmark is absolutely worth a visit.
Salling is the "overhead" brand for Føtex, Bilka, Netto and so on. Just like in Sweden there is Axfood who owns Willys, Hemköp, Tempo. So the Salling brand can probably present everything from rubberboots to snacks... Lovely to see a current clip from Denmark, it's been too long since last time I went there. It somehow becomes very, very far away when you move north from Skåne in Sweden.
Kender ikke der rigtige ord for vores kartofler I vand. Pickled, er syltede ting. Brine, er salt lage. Men kartoflerne er jo ikke syltede, bare I vand. Intet ondt ment herfra.
Sometimes you get fruits and vegetables based on weight here, but since we are used to a price per item, it seems to be a way to gouge people more, because its always noticably more expensive than normal. At least in my experience. But visiting Denmark, getting and cooking your own groceries, rather than eating out, is one of the best ways to save money. Cocio is a Danish chocolate milk. And probably the best in the world. What you really need to do is get one when getting a hotdog or a burger.
For lunch many danish people has plain smørrebrød on rye bread, same as the fancy one, but less toppings. The potatoes in the glass are not pickled- just boiled. Typically used for making sugar glazed potatoes
6:05 Salling Group is Denmark's largest grocery group with chains such as Føtex, Bilka, Netto, BR and stores in Denmark, Germany and Poland. It competes with another grocery group called Coop that owns the chains suchs as Super Brugsen, Kvickly, Brugsen, 365 Discount and Irma.
2:01 That chicken + 2:29 pork sandwich I get one of each min. 1 a week 8:19 The potatoes are not pickled, they are often used for making caramelized potatoes especially for christmas.
Im from Denmark and i really loved this review! 😍 I would have loved to walk through with you guys and explain on the way, you seem like nice peepz - Good travel ♥
Leverpostej is a kind of patè, we only call it postej, cause it's a slightly different process. And it's very popular, because nobody likes the taste and texture of liver, so we decided to make it somewhat enjoyable. It is served hot and nearly liquid for a traditional Christmas lunch, with mushroom and bacon (that's where the bacon mix idea came from), on the regular, we consume it cold, with pickles/beetroot, and deep fried onion. And it typically goes on schwartzbrot (rugbrød/rye bread), since it has a more dark and malted taste, that's also great for most cheeses, from the sour brie to gouda to spicy cream cheese, and the stingy blue cheese, and our Danish fish classics: pickled or smoked herring with radish, and makrelsalat, which is just canned mackerel in tomatosauce, with a layer of mayonaise, mixed in, or on top. And for beer, of course. We do eat a lot of seedy schwartzbrot, habitually, in spite of it not being culinarily useful for anything else. Carlsberg is possibly the best/most balanced PILSNER, in the world. And there's Grøn Tuborg, if you want more bitter hops flavor, also fine, but probably can't contend with the world palette.
0:53 - You walked into a Føtex, it's like the middle stop between a regular supermarket and a hypermarket like Bilka or Walmart. It's also quite expensive.
6:21 Salling is not actually a brand of chips, it's the store's own brand, which is why they're cheaper, they cut out the middle man, between the manufacturer and the store. You'll come to find that a lot of different items go under the specific store's own brand, but you'll only be able to find it in a specific store, so most stores will have their own budget products.
Uht milk is milk heated to 135° C for 3-5 seconds, after that all bacts. are gone, and the product can be stored outside the fridge, a little like you can do with butter if you heat it just below boilingpoint for a short time/few minutes.
You should check out Norway if you want to see expensive prices - go grab a couple of beers in the supermarket. Normal Danish supermarkets have vegetables at the entry - 99%. Just not in certain warehouses.
The yeast used in many, many Lager beers in the world all use the strain of yeast isolated and described by the Carlsberg labs back in the day. the invention of the Ph-scale for measuring the acidity/alkalinity of liquids was also from the Carlsberg labs. :) All the red prices in Føtexi is a sale price, not the normal prices :)
i am from Denmark the chocolate Milk is only stored in supermarkets/groocer´s outsight coolers(to save energy consumption) but every person who buys them put them in fridges to get it cold enough to drink later (its also recommended on the bottle "Bør nydes afkølet"/should be enjoyed chilled"
these are not pickled potatoes. it's small boiled potatoes in water. many use them to make something we call brown potatoes. melt sugar in a frying pan on low heat, when the sugar has melted, add a good piece of butter. when the butter has melted and mixed with the brown sugar, add the potatoes and fry on low heat until they are well browned. eaten with roast pork with good sauce.
Both Norway and Sweden are known for having much higher prices on food, and Beer/Alcohol! We do produce much food by ourselves, but as Danish salaries are high, so are the prices. And The Nordic COOP is one of the largest buyers of Coffee in the world, so we generally get "The Good Stuff"!
@@PoulNoergard I - honestly can't say that much about Sweden, except that finer wines may be reasonably priced(!), but I have travelled much in Norway, up and down, so at Least I know that food prices are high!
Leverpostej is not a pate, it's its own thing, and putting it on a cracker would be quite weird, you'll get a lot of funny looks if you do. However Cocio chocolate milk is really good, and if you buy a hotdog at a vendor, do get it with a cocio. Cocio isn't available in that many countries, but a few years ago they began exporting to New England area of the US.
Hvad tror du ordet "postej" kommer af? Dansk leverpostej er dog normalt noget grovere end normal pate, men du kan købe finerhakkede leverpostej, som du måske mere ville forbinde som pate.
@@tjampman Selvom de har et fælles ophav er de hver især gået i meget forskellige retninger, så nej, de er ikke det samme. Det kunne du måske sige i middelalderen, men den sluttede som du forhåbentlig er bekendt med for et par år siden.
@@tjampman Pasty eller Pie, men du skal så også huske at briterne har bevaret dejen i deres retter, igen et eksempel på hvordan tingene er gået i hver deres retning. For vores postej har de ikke et ord, og det er helt normalt at forskellige sprog ikke altid har et ord for noget.
Generally I would suggest you should check our Lidl or Rema 1000 too. Føtex is one of the most expensive grocery stores in Denmark, while Lidl and Rema 1000 are discount stores.
Hi guys, if you are missing Indomie nudels you can find it when you go back to Tampere. There is lot of asian stores in Tampere but for you the one across the street from trainstation is probably the most convenient for you and it is second biggest one in Tampere (as far as I know). The store is called Golden Crop.
6:18 Salling chips are a private label brand, it's only sold in the Salling Group stores. The big chip names here are KIm's ( Slogan: When you are hungry for fun), they actual started with making Marcipan and is still the best in that game ( Odense Marcipan). The first snacks they made was peanuts name Cock Nuts and they had to add the 's in the name because of cigarets named the same. The second is Taffel Chips, they are a bit older than Kim's and are kinda the king of holidays, as the salt chips (Taffel Originals) they make are almost a tradition to use during Chrismas and so on. They are great with potatoes and sauce, and have been a thing for 65 years now.
3:49. Wine isn't that common among parties or for the weekend (unless you're a more middle aged person). A lot of Beer, cheap vodka & a few ciders is mostly common. Despite carlsberg being danish, more and more seem to stick with Tuborg, royal or odense (the beer brand). because of how much love we have to beer, some parts of the country you can get a 24 pack beer for about 10 usd (Plus 3,42 usd for the recycling = 13,42 usd). Also, if you think the chips section is massive, you're gonna get mind blown by the candy section. Many stores have a major section of candy, jelly & etc.
The grocery store starts with a big non-food section because Danish law limits the maximum size of a supermarket. So Føtex (short for foodwares and textiles) was invented which is 1/2 a supermarket and 1/2 a non-food market, and only the food part counts against the size limit. I hope you are coming to Aarhus, the second city of Denmark!
We need to get a video where you compare the three Nordic countries that you have now visited. What is the same, what is different? We don't really notice all of these small details, I would love to hear how you see us!
8:25 It's not pickled potatos. It's mostly used to make brown potatos. It's mostly used with a dish called 'Flæskesteg, brune kartofler and rødkål'. Many people eat it as their main course on Chrismas eve. Either that or roast duck. It can be eaten all year round but for the most part it's part of the Chrismas for many danes in one way or another.
When you say the prices in Denmark are similar to the prices in Sweden, remember the Danish krone is worth much more than the Swedish krona, so 100 DKK is around 150 SEK.
I am Swedish i never visited the other Nordic country's grocery stores kinda interesting but not surprising since i know their habits and espected some similarities.
You totally missed the opportunity to come to Estonia from Finland (there's a ship from Tallinn to Stockholm as well so wouldn't have to go through Finland). Way cheaper than Scandinavian countries but also with a lot of history.
Loved your video. I must say even for some of us Danes, Copenhagen is a very expensive place to visit. Food prices in generel have gone up a lot since the war in Ukrain startet. The sunflower olie and rapse olie (don’t know the English Word for it) used to cost around 8.95 pr liter in Rema before the war in Ukrain. And that’s just an example.
The potatoes aren’t pickled (sorry to disappoint 😂). They’re boiled and stored in water. You drain them and then cook them in a caramel to be served with traditional meat dishes like pork or duck (something fatty) and along side gravy and pickled red cabbage - the same kind you had on your smørrebrød with frikadelle (the meatball one). Also, you picked a very expensive store by accident. Most Danes get the majority of their shopping from Netto, Lidl and Rema1000 which are cheaper.
You should've tried our bread. None of it will taste like it does in America. Both Canada and the US use a lot of sugar in their white bread and rye-bread is the best in Denmark. Another thing you should know about shopping in Denmark is how we generally shop. There are certain products that aren't a problem to buy at any time, but Denmark is very much a discount culture when it comes to purchasing groceries. It's common to follow what discounts there are on different wares and then buy a surplus of XYZ discounted item. The discounts can be huge. As an example I just purchased 4x 1 liter canned soup for 10kr which is normally 35kr each.
No, but they were stille very good. The ones in Canada are red in colour, and have a peppery flavor inside. The ones in Denmark were more orange, and no pepper, BUT still very sour and yummy
Meny and Føtex are the more expensive stores to go to here. Coop, Netto, Lidli are the more manageable ones. Also you should try finding a local Bazzar where you can get a lot of good stuff from around the world. There is one right next to Rødovre station called Ottoman :) Enjoy your stay and try not to buy sugary stuff, because that stuff is taxed extra here :D Leverposteg goes on our dark bread known as Rugbrød / Ryebread :)
The potato in glass is not pickled, it's just potato water.! I always use them to make Carameld potato😊 Others use them if they are in a hurry, or just a bit lazy 😅
7:30 White bread is a Roman thing and found in any country influenced by them. Sliced bread is *extremely* unhealthy and is a American thing adopted by others. Bread already sliced in the store is worse then candy full of preservatives to keep it from molding before you get a chance to eat it, as the slicer will introduce mold and bacteria to the bread. If you want bread that's actually *food* buy fresh breads and slice them yourself in the store in a bread slicer there and eat it within a week, that way the mold won't have time to do too much damage even without preservatives. Germany and Scandinavia tenss towards using the whole grain in our breads, including all of the nutrients, and often also using whole seeds etc. The grain type most used is found in bands going through Scandinavia depending on what grows best locally etc. Rye, wheat, barley, oats etc are all grown in various areas.
Youre supposed to buy the chocolate milk then put it in the fridge to cool it before you drink it. Otherwise its yucky. But they will almost always have them in the fridge section as well if you just need one cold right now.
One important note on prices. Denmark has a LOT of "offers".. f.ex. we NEVER buy most of our goods (like eggs, butter etc.) until there's an offer on it in one of the shops. The offers is typicly 50% off or more for these goods.
Salling is a specific food group that the supermarket you are in is under and it is their local food for their supermarket, you will not be able to buy the product in another supermarket that does not belong to the Salling group.. and that you chose to go into Føtex, which is one of our most expensive supermarkets in Denmark, and then see that the prices are a bit wrong. You could well have chosen other supermarkets in Denmark, which have both 10 and 20% lower prices than Føtex has for the same products.. The Salling group is owned by Mærsk, which is also the world's largest container ship company
The Cocio chocolate milk is indeed a very Danish thing. Remember to serve it straight from the fridge, and shake well. You will be surprised how quickly the bottle is empty. 😘
I am wondering how Ivana is feeling? And are her food tastes changing with pregnancy? Mine did! Things I loved previously I could no longer eat or drink… I assume that if she had nausea it was in the first trimester (?), that has passed. Anyway, how is she feeling, lovely Ivana? 🤗
As a dane i will say this, a lot of the prices you showed are on a discount. But besides that, these mega malls are usually cheaper than smaller grocery stores in smaller towns. We have convenience stores that have peices closer to something you would see in a gas station.
First I wants to say thank you for the totally fair and great review of my country, second, if you wants to ask any questions feel free to :) I think I can tell you alot about my little weird country :D fruit and vegies and that expensive in Denmark, I dont think so, but meat, cheese and such can be. and you can get cheaper wine its just in another store.. Bilka aint the cheapest, Aldi and Lidl is, I think :)
2:50 did she say fish ? ;D lols. its says fresh delicious with cream. it is liver/fat cooked with different spices. used on bread with some toppings. or as it is on bread alone , if your are in a hurry.
Note A Store like this in denmark is not the cheap family grocery store, you would want to go to stores like Netto or Rema1000 or Aldi. there you can normal get stuff for 10-15% cheaper or more with some good products.
The beer is usually cheaper if you stay out of the expensive stores like the one you're in here. I usually get 6 Tuborg for around 30 dkr when I shop in a "discount" store in Denmark

Føtex is known to be more expensive though🙂 There are discount shops, many of them
Not so much discount these days :P Feels like even Rema1000 and Netto is getting expensive, but yes Føtex is more expensive
Yeah it's way more expensive than smth like fakta
Carlsberg is Danish, which is probably why it is reasonably priced
Also alcohol and beer in particular is fairly cheap in Denmark compared to the rest of Scandinavia

Salling is the in house brand, for Salling Group, which Føtex is a part of. I would say, that Denmark is a Kim's Chips country 🙂
Yeah. Even if most would say that Taffel is the best brand for potato chips in Denmark.
@@drdewott9154 no one says that
@@justbasic314 9/10 people I've talked to about chips on average have said Taffel is their favorite brand.

"you break it, you buy it" does not apply here. the store has insurance and won't force you to pay for something falling off the shelf or even you dropping it walking around
Yeah thats just an american thibg and nasty 3rd world places like vietnam or something...
Copenhagen is simply gorgeous. I went to this supermarket a few times last year. The prices are externally high compared to Germany, it is also cheaper in Sweden. But the Danes also earn correspondingly well. Denmark is absolutely worth a visit.
Well they went to a pretty expensive grocery store.
If you went to Rema1000 or Netto, or discount stores, it would be cheaper than this:)
@@hamza9540maybe 365 for that time,but I think it’s shutting down now.(in some places)
@@az3Iz No, Lidl, Rema1000 and Netto are all cheaper than 365 :)

Salling is the "overhead" brand for Føtex, Bilka, Netto and so on. Just like in Sweden there is Axfood who owns Willys, Hemköp, Tempo. So the Salling brand can probably present everything from rubberboots to snacks...
Lovely to see a current clip from Denmark, it's been too long since last time I went there. It somehow becomes very, very far away when you move north from Skåne in Sweden.
the "pickled" potatoes are for making a very danish speciality, caramelized potatos which are served at special occations like christmas diners.
Kender ikke der rigtige ord for vores kartofler I vand.
Pickled, er syltede ting.
Brine, er salt lage.
Men kartoflerne er jo ikke syltede, bare I vand.
Intet ondt ment herfra.
Og biksemad
Og svensk pølseret
Yeah the "pickled potatoes" are just peeled potatoes in water. They are raw - so you will need to boil them before eating 🙂
@@ChristianHag no there are pre boiled
Sometimes you get fruits and vegetables based on weight here, but since we are used to a price per item, it seems to be a way to gouge people more, because its always noticably more expensive than normal.
At least in my experience.
But visiting Denmark, getting and cooking your own groceries, rather than eating out, is one of the best ways to save money.
Cocio is a Danish chocolate milk.
And probably the best in the world.
What you really need to do is get one when getting a hotdog or a burger.
6:16 Salling/Salling Group is the store owner, it`s the cheap store brand. Kim`s is the Danes favourite/largest chips company.
Super helpful, I wish more people did supermarket videos and showed prices. Thank you.
For lunch many danish people has plain smørrebrød on rye bread, same as the fancy one, but less toppings.
The potatoes in the glass are not pickled- just boiled.
Typically used for making sugar glazed potatoes
6:05 Salling Group is Denmark's largest grocery group with chains such as Føtex, Bilka, Netto, BR and stores in Denmark, Germany and Poland. It competes with another grocery group called Coop that owns the chains suchs as Super Brugsen, Kvickly, Brugsen, 365 Discount and Irma.
-Irma- R.I.P.🥀
2:01 That chicken + 2:29 pork sandwich I get one of each min. 1 a week
8:19 The potatoes are not pickled, they are often used for making caramelized potatoes especially for christmas.
Bear in mind, Føtex (the shop they are in) is one of the most expensive in Denmark..
2:52 no fish
it's leverpostej, made with Liver and fat, the first one got cream added, and second one bacon , or directly translated liver pâté
Im from Denmark and i really loved this review! 😍
I would have loved to walk through with you guys and explain on the way, you seem like nice peepz - Good travel ♥
Where in Denmark are you from ?
Leverpostej is a kind of patè, we only call it postej, cause it's a slightly different process. And it's very popular, because nobody likes the taste and texture of liver, so we decided to make it somewhat enjoyable. It is served hot and nearly liquid for a traditional Christmas lunch, with mushroom and bacon (that's where the bacon mix idea came from), on the regular, we consume it cold, with pickles/beetroot, and deep fried onion. And it typically goes on schwartzbrot (rugbrød/rye bread), since it has a more dark and malted taste, that's also great for most cheeses, from the sour brie to gouda to spicy cream cheese, and the stingy blue cheese, and our Danish fish classics: pickled or smoked herring with radish, and makrelsalat, which is just canned mackerel in tomatosauce, with a layer of mayonaise, mixed in, or on top. And for beer, of course. We do eat a lot of seedy schwartzbrot, habitually, in spite of it not being culinarily useful for anything else.
Carlsberg is possibly the best/most balanced PILSNER, in the world. And there's Grøn Tuborg, if you want more bitter hops flavor, also fine, but probably can't contend with the world palette.
0:53 - You walked into a Føtex, it's like the middle stop between a regular supermarket and a hypermarket like Bilka or Walmart. It's also quite expensive.
You should try the Cocio chocolatemilk, it's a winner
8:22 - Grocery store products here are usually insured. If something breaks it's usually an insurance write-off here.
6:21 Salling is not actually a brand of chips, it's the store's own brand, which is why they're cheaper, they cut out the middle man, between the manufacturer and the store.
You'll come to find that a lot of different items go under the specific store's own brand, but you'll only be able to find it in a specific store, so most stores will have their own budget products.
Uht milk is milk heated to 135° C for 3-5 seconds, after that all bacts. are gone, and the product can be stored outside the fridge, a little like you can do with butter if you heat it just below boilingpoint for a short time/few minutes.
You should check out Norway if you want to see expensive prices - go grab a couple of beers in the supermarket.
Normal Danish supermarkets have vegetables at the entry - 99%. Just not in certain warehouses.
The yeast used in many, many Lager beers in the world all use the strain of yeast isolated and described by the Carlsberg labs back in the day. the invention of the Ph-scale for measuring the acidity/alkalinity of liquids was also from the Carlsberg labs. :)
All the red prices in Føtexi is a sale price, not the normal prices :)
i am from Denmark
the chocolate Milk is only stored in supermarkets/groocer´s outsight coolers(to save energy consumption)
but every person who buys them put them in fridges to get it cold enough to drink later (its also recommended on the bottle "Bør nydes afkølet"/should be enjoyed chilled"
these are not pickled potatoes. it's small boiled potatoes in water. many use them to make something we call brown potatoes. melt sugar in a frying pan on low heat, when the sugar has melted, add a good piece of butter. when the butter has melted and mixed with the brown sugar, add the potatoes and fry on low heat until they are well browned. eaten with roast pork with good sauce.
Both Norway and Sweden are known for having much higher prices on food, and Beer/Alcohol! We do produce much food by ourselves, but as Danish salaries are high, so are the prices. And The Nordic COOP is one of the largest buyers of Coffee in the world, so we generally get "The Good Stuff"!
Higher prices for food in Sweden... don't think so. Norway yes, higher.
@@PoulNoergard I - honestly can't say that much about Sweden, except that finer wines may be reasonably priced(!), but I have travelled much in Norway, up and down, so at Least I know that food prices are high!
Leverpostej is not a pate, it's its own thing, and putting it on a cracker would be quite weird, you'll get a lot of funny looks if you do. However Cocio chocolate milk is really good, and if you buy a hotdog at a vendor, do get it with a cocio. Cocio isn't available in that many countries, but a few years ago they began exporting to New England area of the US.
Hvad tror du ordet "postej" kommer af?
Dansk leverpostej er dog normalt noget grovere end normal pate, men du kan købe finerhakkede leverpostej, som du måske mere ville forbinde som pate.
@@tjampman Selvom de har et fælles ophav er de hver især gået i meget forskellige retninger, så nej, de er ikke det samme. Det kunne du måske sige i middelalderen, men den sluttede som du forhåbentlig er bekendt med for et par år siden.
@@vrenak så hvad er det engelske ord for postej?
@@tjampman Pasty eller Pie, men du skal så også huske at briterne har bevaret dejen i deres retter, igen et eksempel på hvordan tingene er gået i hver deres retning. For vores postej har de ikke et ord, og det er helt normalt at forskellige sprog ikke altid har et ord for noget.
@@vrenak ok, jeg tror overgiver mig på den her.
Godt svar.
Glad to see you guys reaction to ketchup flavoured chips, I love those !
Thank you for the information about It !!!😊
Generally I would suggest you should check our Lidl or Rema 1000 too. Føtex is one of the most expensive grocery stores in Denmark, while Lidl and Rema 1000 are discount stores.
Love Rema 1000 😮
@@ranikster9955 Is also where I do most of my grocery shopping.
Or Netto
Idk why but i love seeing people visit my country❤
18.00 for that bag of chips. In America it is 4.00. Why are the prices so high?
Hi guys, if you are missing Indomie nudels you can find it when you go back to Tampere. There is lot of asian stores in Tampere but for you the one across the street from trainstation is probably the most convenient for you and it is second biggest one in Tampere (as far as I know). The store is called Golden Crop.
Is that new place/store? Haven´t noticed that one. I know that what is at Tullintori and other at Kuninkaankatu.
6:18 Salling chips are a private label brand, it's only sold in the Salling Group stores. The big chip names here are KIm's ( Slogan: When you are hungry for fun), they actual started with making Marcipan and is still the best in that game ( Odense Marcipan). The first snacks they made was peanuts name Cock Nuts and they had to add the 's in the name because of cigarets named the same.
The second is Taffel Chips, they are a bit older than Kim's and are kinda the king of holidays, as the salt chips (Taffel Originals) they make are almost a tradition to use during Chrismas and so on. They are great with potatoes and sauce, and have been a thing for 65 years now.
7:13 We also have Xtra in Denmark because we also have Coop
3:49. Wine isn't that common among parties or for the weekend (unless you're a more middle aged person). A lot of Beer, cheap vodka & a few ciders is mostly common. Despite carlsberg being danish, more and more seem to stick with Tuborg, royal or odense (the beer brand). because of how much love we have to beer, some parts of the country you can get a 24 pack beer for about 10 usd (Plus 3,42 usd for the recycling = 13,42 usd). Also, if you think the chips section is massive, you're gonna get mind blown by the candy section. Many stores have a major section of candy, jelly & etc.
The grocery store starts with a big non-food section because Danish law limits the maximum size of a supermarket. So Føtex (short for foodwares and textiles) was invented which is 1/2 a supermarket and 1/2 a non-food market, and only the food part counts against the size limit. I hope you are coming to Aarhus, the second city of Denmark!
flaeskesvaer is my favorite danish snack... And polser and... Tuborg Gold beer... They really know how to enjoy life!
P.S You also need to try their smorrebrod... THIS IS A MUST! if you travel to Denmark
Thank you 🩷
Love you guys!! 💞 Looking forward to your next video!!
Xoxo 💞
We need to get a video where you compare the three Nordic countries that you have now visited. What is the same, what is different? We don't really notice all of these small details, I would love to hear how you see us!
Good idea!
... and hopefully they don't mince their words while they are at it, because otherwise the comment section is definitely going to do that for them.
Good topic. Maybe we’ll discuss this on a livestream #JetFam
I live in Sweden. We pay a lot for groceries here.....
Not easy to compare prices becouse the wages and all other costs is quite diffrent between
8:25 It's not pickled potatos. It's mostly used to make brown potatos. It's mostly used with a dish called 'Flæskesteg, brune kartofler and rødkål'. Many people eat it as their main course on Chrismas eve. Either that or roast duck. It can be eaten all year round but for the most part it's part of the Chrismas for many danes in one way or another.
When you say the prices in Denmark are similar to the prices in Sweden, remember the Danish krone is worth much more than the Swedish krona, so 100 DKK is around 150 SEK.
FYI - box wine was invented in Australia (not Canada!) 😅
Some hotels in Copenhagen have a communal kitchen, like the “Urban House Hostel” in central CPH
9:14 Fun fact, the most popular brand of instant noodles has historically been the Thai brand Yum Yum
Welcome to Denmark/velkommen til Danmark 🎉🎉🎉🎉 (yes im Danish)
I am Swedish i never visited the other Nordic country's grocery stores kinda interesting but not surprising since i know their habits and espected some similarities.
Beer is cheaper than water in some cases in Denmark.
We love our Leverpostej for sure.
Boxed wine is a proud Australian invention👍
Another thing to love you for - boxed wine =)
And s big thanks to your down under for that... We call it milking the one tit goat..
We have a very small boat with a very small fridge. And we thank you Australians for the invention
Didn't know that. Well done Oz!
Thanks, Australia!
You totally missed the opportunity to come to Estonia from Finland (there's a ship from Tallinn to Stockholm as well so wouldn't have to go through Finland). Way cheaper than Scandinavian countries but also with a lot of history.
Tallinn is a beautiful great city.
The prices in Denmark are only high when you compare them to other countries, where wages and income are lower. Such as Finland and Sweden
cheese and onion potato chips is a favorite in uk ,then moved to canada and had to settle for sour cream and onion .
In Germany paprika
in Canada, the lays ketchup is the best!!! It was not the same as the pack we bought in Denmark….
Loved your video. I must say even for some of us Danes, Copenhagen is a very expensive place to visit. Food prices in generel have gone up a lot since the war in Ukrain startet. The sunflower olie and rapse olie (don’t know the English Word for it) used to cost around 8.95 pr liter in Rema before the war in Ukrain. And that’s just an example.
Depending on what supermarket you visit and what specific item you need, we do sometimes pay per weight for certain vegetables/fruit and meat.
As a Dane, this was a very interesting video to watch! 🔥
The potatoes aren’t pickled (sorry to disappoint 😂). They’re boiled and stored in water. You drain them and then cook them in a caramel to be served with traditional meat dishes like pork or duck (something fatty) and along side gravy and pickled red cabbage - the same kind you had on your smørrebrød with frikadelle (the meatball one).
Also, you picked a very expensive store by accident. Most Danes get the majority of their shopping from Netto, Lidl and Rema1000 which are cheaper.
You should've tried our bread. None of it will taste like it does in America. Both Canada and the US use a lot of sugar in their white bread and rye-bread is the best in Denmark.
Another thing you should know about shopping in Denmark is how we generally shop. There are certain products that aren't a problem to buy at any time, but Denmark is very much a discount culture when it comes to purchasing groceries. It's common to follow what discounts there are on different wares and then buy a surplus of XYZ discounted item. The discounts can be huge. As an example I just purchased 4x 1 liter canned soup for 10kr which is normally 35kr each.
Did Lays ketchup chips taste the same as in Canada??
No, but they were stille very good. The ones in Canada are red in colour, and have a peppery flavor inside. The ones in Denmark were more orange, and no pepper, BUT still very sour and yummy
Some things are literally half the price in Rema, I hardly ever shop anywhere else.
Meny and Føtex are the more expensive stores to go to here. Coop, Netto, Lidli are the more manageable ones. Also you should try finding a local Bazzar where you can get a lot of good stuff from around the world. There is one right next to Rødovre station called Ottoman :) Enjoy your stay and try not to buy sugary stuff, because that stuff is taxed extra here :D
Leverposteg goes on our dark bread known as Rugbrød / Ryebread :)
Salling is a Private Label.
Pickled potatoes are primarily used for caramelized potatoes.
Fun fact: Salling is their own brand, but they are made in the same factory as the expensive branded products.
5:59 the chips bag whit Max on it is also lays
the potatoes are not pickled, just ready to use
There is also a "copenhagen" tax which makes the prices higher because the shop is in copenhagen
Out of curiousity - did the Lays Heinz in Denmark live up to the ones in CA?
They were good, but the ones in Canada are the best chip ever
The potato in glass is not pickled, it's just potato water.!
I always use them to make Carameld potato😊
Others use them if they are in a hurry, or just a bit lazy 😅

White bread is a Roman thing and found in any country influenced by them.
Sliced bread is *extremely* unhealthy and is a American thing adopted by others.
Bread already sliced in the store is worse then candy full of preservatives to keep it from molding before you get a chance to eat it, as the slicer will introduce mold and bacteria to the bread.
If you want bread that's actually *food* buy fresh breads and slice them yourself in the store in a bread slicer there and eat it within a week, that way the mold won't have time to do too much damage even without preservatives.
Germany and Scandinavia tenss towards using the whole grain in our breads, including all of the nutrients, and often also using whole seeds etc.
The grain type most used is found in bands going through Scandinavia depending on what grows best locally etc.
Rye, wheat, barley, oats etc are all grown in various areas.
Youre supposed to buy the chocolate milk then put it in the fridge to cool it before you drink it.
Otherwise its yucky. But they will almost always have them in the fridge section as well if you just need one cold right now.
Love from Denmark❤️❤️
One important note on prices. Denmark has a LOT of "offers".. f.ex. we NEVER buy most of our goods (like eggs, butter etc.) until there's an offer on it in one of the shops. The offers is typicly 50% off or more for these goods.
Boxed Wine is actually an Australian invention from back in 1964
I live in denmark and even i didnt knew about a bicycle parking lot xd
..but it is copenhagen.. so ofc they have. Its more effective than a car
Salling is a specific food group that the supermarket you are in is under and it is their local food for their supermarket, you will not be able to buy the product in another supermarket that does not belong to the Salling group.. and that you chose to go into Føtex, which is one of our most expensive supermarkets in Denmark, and then see that the prices are a bit wrong. You could well have chosen other supermarkets in Denmark, which have both 10 and 20% lower prices than Føtex has for the same products.. The Salling group is owned by Mærsk, which is also the world's largest container ship company
Well thanks for in joyimg my country
The Cocio chocolate milk is indeed a very Danish thing. Remember to serve it straight from the fridge, and shake well.
You will be surprised how quickly the bottle is empty. 😘
Love this. You are an excellent observer, almost spot on every time.
1:00 Every item will have price per kg or liter listed for easy comparison. It's in small print on the price tags. It is mandated by law.
I am wondering how Ivana is feeling? And are her food tastes changing with pregnancy? Mine did! Things I loved previously I could no longer eat or drink… I assume that if she had nausea it was in the first trimester (?), that has passed. Anyway, how is she feeling, lovely Ivana? 🤗
Thanks for asking! Ivana is feeling great! She craves sweets a lot more than usual.
@@JetLagWarriors haven't watched your videos in the past few months. We also have a 1,5 yr old keeping us busy and I didn't know. Felicitari!!!! 🍾
As a dane i will say this, a lot of the prices you showed are on a discount. But besides that, these mega malls are usually cheaper than smaller grocery stores in smaller towns. We have convenience stores that have peices closer to something you would see in a gas station.
First I wants to say thank you for the totally fair and great review of my country, second, if you wants to ask any questions feel free to :) I think I can tell you alot about my little weird country :D
fruit and vegies and that expensive in Denmark, I dont think so, but meat, cheese and such can be.
and you can get cheaper wine its just in another store.. Bilka aint the cheapest, Aldi and Lidl is, I think :)
2:50 did she say fish ? ;D lols. its says fresh delicious with cream. it is liver/fat cooked with different spices. used on bread with some toppings. or as it is on bread alone , if your are in a hurry.
Salling Group owns supermarket chains like Bilka, Netto and the one you were in: Føtex. And then they sell their own brands in those chains.
A too refined palette for instant coffee and buying Lays and prefer white bread. I can’t even LOL
The whole finished chicken is about the same price for the same size raw chicken. And they do a good job.
Note A Store like this in denmark is not the cheap family grocery store, you would want to go to stores like Netto or Rema1000 or Aldi. there you can normal get stuff for 10-15% cheaper or more with some good products.
Cocio chocolate drink put it in your cooler when cold shake until bottom is clear, is is only cocoa now drink....
6:20 Salling is the brand that owns the supermarked you are in, so its store owned brand name, the Danish chips are Kim's
The beer is usually cheaper if you stay out of the expensive stores like the one you're in here. I usually get 6 Tuborg for around 30 dkr when I shop in a "discount" store in Denmark
Another Dane here, Salling is our most reasonably prized chips, but Kims is our other most beloved brand of chips, just way, way more expensive.
I have been working in a Føtex for many years. I would love to take you on a tour through the danish way of shopping and eating.
