Korvmoj is Swedish slang that means "hotdog stand". Lördagsgodis means "Saturday candy", as kids here are told we only get to buy and eat candy on Saturday. Belöning means "reward". Daim said as dime was spot on!
I'm one of those people who adore salmiak/ammonium chloride/salty liquorice, and I have done as long as I can remember. When I was around 6, I begged every weekend to walk into the city centre so I could buy my Saturday sweets at a shop there. This meant I could choose all the candy myself and they had a whole wall of liquorice pick-n-mix and I always just picked form that. Now as an adult I go for sour gummies and salty liquorice, and at the bottom of the bad there's usually some salty liquorice like the ones you had but with some sour residue on it, amazing!
What makes pick-n-mix unique, other than the format, is that we have so much more gummy candies than what you can get anywhere else.
I stayed in Malmö for a couple months and was so surprised how popular liquorice is in Sweden. I enjoyed trying many varieties of it while there even if I don’t really like the stuff. Haha
I miss the Brach's Pick-a-Mix stand you used to find at most supermarkets. The Eight O'clock coffee grinder at A&P too. You could smell either from halfway up the aisle.
Saw too many kids just stick their hand in the Brachs, lick a few candies and then throw them back in. Often 2-3 year olds but sometimes 13-14 year olds. Nope. Never did that. I do love and miss the Brach's Burnt Peanut candies, but always got pre-packaged.
The Neapolitan coconut candy... 😅
My husband and I were just talking about missing Brach’s Pick-a-Mix! I miss those cream chocolates and the soft toffees. I’m 60 and I never saw a Branch’s selection of candy that wasn’t individually wrapped. No opportunities to lick anything and actually not much hard candy.
@@therewillbecatswithgwenhwyfar I miss those too.
I loved the Brach’s Pick-A-Mix and I still miss it.
Those veggie dogs are served there with a sweet, purple pickled cabbage, thin fried onions and a little mustard. Another way to get the sweet and sour crunch is to top hotdogs with a little coleslaw and a little sauerkraut and Dijon.
Not any more. I was very disappointed when I had one this past week for the first time in years. No more pickled cabbage and the fried onions were just the dry French's fried onions.
Yum!
Those ketchup and mustard bottles look like bottles of poster paint for kid's art projects.
💀 Totally!
My favorite of your videos are your Hard Times series. I would love to see more prison recipes or anything from Clara's depression recipes! Please!
Depression recipes are depressingly relevant these days. I find myself cooking more and more like my Granny used to!
Here in Sweden, pick and mix candy is huge! Every (there may be few exceptions) grocery store has pick and mix candy, usually close to the checkouts.
I really like Djungelvrål, while yes, it tastes salty initially, but when you get through that salty cover, the licorice has a vanilla undertone to it (at least for me)
I'll have to say though, the candy you got at IKEA is not really what a typical candy bowl would look like here in Sweden, we just have so many more options and often also include bite sized chocolates or chocolate covered pieces of candy (often the candy itself is like a firmer version of a marshmallow)
Swedish candy often play with your senses through textures and combining sweet and sour and salty flavors.
Usually freshness isn't an issue with pick and mix candy if you buy the more popular ones, it simply sells so fast that it doesn't really have time to become stale while in the containers in the store. Less popular stores or less popular types of candy, can however have issues with stale candy just because there's not enough rotation (and/or the store just doesn't give a damn and don't change out candies that have been in the containers for a while)
We used to have them here, but ever since Covid most places got rid of them.
Agreed! Once you get used to the ammonium chloride it starts to taste sweet rather than salty. It's a kind of "grown up" sweet, like comparing milk chocolate to dark chocolate. This is the most amazing aspect to salty licorice, it transforms your sense of taste :D And tasting other things afterwards transforms those tastes too. Drinking coke after is a really different experience!
Fun fact for you, Emmy: the name of those sweets, "Lördagsgodis" (Lohr-das-go-dis) = "Saturday Candy" and refers to a traditional idea of eating sweets only on Saturday, as a practice for good dental health :) The pick-and-mix candy wall is hence a common treat for the saturday grocery shopping trip, when you want to get a little bit of everything for your one cheat day.
Ha! That's a neat fact and thanks for including the pronunciation. 😆💫
And we in Finland sometimes say Lösgodis, if they happen to be Swedish speakers :) literally meaning "loose candy" or irtokarkki in Finnish, aka pick & mix. Pick & mix is a serious business in Finland and Sweden, we both eat quite a lot of it per capita.
Wasn't that because candy used to be more expensive historically?
And korvmoj as was the name of the veggie dogs, is a slur of korvkiosk (hot dog stand)
@@erzsebetkovacs2527 Not really.
They did a horrible study (the Vipeholm experiments) at an institution for developmentally disabled in the forties and fifties, and that's when Saturday candy became the norm.
SHE LIKES THE DAIM CAKE!!! rejoicing right now, that thing is sooo delicious
I once had a fainting episode in IKEA in NJ and was offered to sit in an interview room for a few minutes to recover where I fell asleep....AND THEY FORGOT ME! I woke up and the lights were dimmed and people were restocking shelves!
That must have been very surreal lol. That happened to me (not the fainting part) at a Planet Fitness. I fell asleep on the hydromassage and they never woke me up, I finally got up 3 hours later!
@@samirascarletthonestly bless them they knew you needed the rest
They expected you left on your own not took a random nap in a shop
They can’t be expected to remember if you were shopping ill or not they’re just doing a job
If you’re sick stay home - what if you fainted on a road or while driving
It’s safer for everyone
They didn’t say anything about being sick. They said they had a fainting episode. There’s various medical conditions where you might feel faint. Maybe they have issues with blood sugar and just needed to sit down and eat something. And they didn’t say anything about driving. Maybe they use public transportation.
Also Where I work, if someone had a medical emergency (which I would consider a fainting episode), we would probably have called EMS and would certainly have been checking on them at least periodically until they left. What if their medical condition changed and became life threatening? Management dropped a major ball there, IMO.
Oh no!
Also, as a vegetarian, I appreciate Ikea's veggie patties and such, because they're actually veggie rather than fake meat.
The gummies Emmy tried are also made with vegetable gums / starches rather than gelatine, so they're vegetarian-friendly
I'm not even a veggie but they are very nice, and I do appreciate that they don't try to make them look like meat. I found their not-dogs to be reminiscent in flavor to the breaded veggie sticks we used to get in school lunches.
@MrNikkitikkitavi Do not google what is gelatin made from. 😂
😆 🤣 Love when Emmy says oh I was expecting it to be longer 😂 🌭
Her husband did not
😂😂😂@@SplicedSerpents
I live in rural Western Massachusetts USA. A year ago, I was driving my daughter home from work around 10pm in my Prius. I came around a bend going uphill to meet a moose standing dead center in a smaller road. I think my Prius wasn't even up to his belly! I flashed my lights and honked the horn to no avail. When I saw another car approaching in the other lane, I got worried but they also stopped and finally after about 5 minutes the moose wandered off into the woods!
We call the moose the king of the forest here. Royalty doesn't move on command!
So this is about candy….
@@blumberg1982 Emmy talked about how she had never seen a moose and how big they were....
As a massage therapist, the Ikea bags make great laundry bags for toting sheets back and forth.
Yes! That's exactly what I used them for at university.
Ooh maybe I'll get snacks from Ikea for my solar eclipse picnic 😂
😂
It's been almost 30 years since I've had a chance to practice my meager Swedish. It was nice to see some words that I understood on the packaging.
And definitely Dime on the pronounciation of Daim, and years ago, in the UK they spelled the brand as Dime, and famously there was an ad campaign with Harry Enfield promoting eating armadillos, "Crunchy on the outside, Soft on the inside, ARMADILLOS!!!", well, not literally but it was just the Dime bar ads being silly, along with Ikea's "Chuck out your Chimps today!" ads back in the 90s... :P
“That blokes a nutter” 😂
Always a treat to watch a new Emmymade video. I’d probably get teary as well if we were ever to meet because your videos are always a great distraction from the stresses of life; very therapeutic😌
That veg dog - I'm sorry, but I just can't even! Look at it! Ugh. The ten year old in me won't stop laughing... Lol!
I couldn't help cracking up when it fell out of the bag and plopped onto the pkate 😂🫢
@@kyibobpeb I know, I can't un-see it! ROTFL! Still shaking my head 😂😂😂
“Love it” - *throws to side* 😂❤️
It took me until 22 minutes in to realize it was your mic on your shirt and not just a cute little black heart. 😂
I also loved going to IKEA as a young person. I don’t recall ever eating the food, but I loved looking at all the demo kitchens and rooms and something about how precisely organized the buildings are was satisfying to me.
The pick and mix candies kind of similar to Canadian penny or five cent candies I remember from growing up!
Loved the video for the blast of nostalgia, thanks Emmy. ☺️🖤
I adore IKEA food. Here with the family card you get 50% off their cafeteria food on fridays which is insanely low, and kids eat for literal pennies. The food is very filling too. Their hotdogs are the cheapest you can get here! And I really like their hashbrowns too. Easy McDonald's dupe.
And yeah, sadly the pantry section got smaller in general. I miss the bread you could bake in the carton :( but one thing I can recommend are their oat cookies, especially the sugar free ones - they have sweetener but I like that they have more of that salty quality I personally adore in oat cookies.
Also I like that they have three types of meatballs now - the classic (though you can get different types of meat in the frozen section), veggie and plant-based. Veggie are vegetable-based, not trying to be like the meat ones or anything, just a vegetarian option. But plant-based are actively trying to be like the meat ones, which is a good option too.
I want to try those hot dogs! My favorite veggie sandwich patties are always the ones that don't try to taste or look like meat, like a spicy black bean and corn patty or a big falafel. They make for a good quick, easy, self-contained plant-based meal when you're in a rush or dealing with a work lunchroom "kitchen."
Belöning men reward , Lördagsgodis means Saturday candy, since kid in Sweden used to get candy on Saturday only.
I’m so glad you made this video! I love so many of these IKEA treats and it’s nice to see somebody enjoy them
as well!
Lørdagsgodis means saturday sweeties and it is always a mix. The supermarkets have tubs where you can mix the sweets yourself…any kids highlight when tagging along your parents on the saturday shopping trip. It used to be the only day we were allowed to eat sweets.
My local-ish Ikea sells the veggie dogs near the checkout and serves them with cabbage, mustard, and crispy onions-delicious!
I loved this video it reminded me of some of the OG Emmymadeinjapan videos!
I agree. I picked up some of those big bags at Lidl and Aldi in Germany. Love them.
I live in the city that IKEA was founded in. Älmhult in Sweden🤗
Lördagsgodis= Saturday Candy
Belöning =Reward
Awesome as always thanks ❤
I always look forward to every emmy's video's
Her voice is so soothing and stays the same calming tone. I could listen to her for hours. ❤
I love your videos so much because you’re so authentically you and it just makes me feel so warm and safe. Much love to you 🥹🥹❤️
That cake looks wonderful, thank you Emmy!
Hello from Sweden 👋🏻
Yummy!!!Thanks Emmy for that video❤
When I went to Ikea, I really liked the CHOKLAD chocolate bars and the LÖRDAGSGODIS Sour Foam candy that had Pear and Forest Fruit combo mix (they're pink and white squares) the best. The hearts that are berry flavored are good too. There was also these rolls of chocolate pieces that kind of were shaped like rolos that I forget the name of. My kiddo liked Daim candy as well, so that looked delicious.
Also, "rostad lök" just means "roasted onion", and "festligt" means festive or fun.
Nice to discover the treat collection. I always went for the dried caribou/or similar sausage & anything lingonberry.♡
I’m so excited!
Scrumptious!!!
Love the black licorice 😋
Lordasgodis means Saturday Candy because it is/was a custom to let the kids indulge in candy one day a week and to hold off the rest of the week to help keep their teeth healthy. My Norwegian family used to send me a Barne Possa (child’s bag) filled with a mixture of candies for Christmas. If you have a chance to try Freja chocolate, it’s the best in the world. It inspire Roald Dahl when he wrote Willy Wonka. At IKEA you can find Maribou chocolate sometimes and it’s the best approximation I can find stateside.
The onions are my favourite part of their veggie dogs. They add a nice textural component to the hot dog which is pretty mushy. These aren’t the best veggie dogs but I’m happy that they have the option. I love Daim cakes and the bonus is that they are gluten free so it is a great easy option if you have guests who don’t eat wheat flour.
Love Ikea's ginger cookies and hazlenut chocolate bars!!
Their ginger cookies are Devine!
I love the big blue bags! I got loads of them before the flat got renovated last year. I've got so many LARP and cosplay costumes I had to store away during this time I packed everything in these bags!
Also come in handy for shopping big and heavy things like aquarium substrate, large bags of potting soil, etc.
Me and my family are addicted to that daim cake after the first time trying it in the food court
I saw people in the comments giving accurate translations to "lördagsgodis" (which actually has an interesting story behind it, explaining why candy was recommended once a week only) and "belöning". In addition, "korvmoj" is regional slang for a hot dog kiosk/shop.
i'm a swedish convert after a study abroad, and I recommend the punsch rolls (or dammsugare) from the freezer area. they're often the closest thing i can get to the real thing here in the states, they're different but definitely worth a try!!
You said "I was expecting it to be longer" lol love that ❤
You made me want to try everything.
Your kids are going to love all that candy
Thank you for you! I was so happy to have met you and had such a great interaction with you! I love all the products and items you help us learn about!!! I hope I helped you with everything you needed! Thank you for the double shout out! I Love all of your reviews! Especially the MRE'S! Being in the Mass. Army National Guard and seeing your reviews about them is awesome!!! Thank you! Hope to see you again!😘💖
I liked the German Gummy Bears my dad brought home for me in the eighties. They were so good and you only needed one as it was the size of a small child's hand. They were also individually wrapped. I loved those things.
I recently had their lingonberry soft drink. Right out of the fridge it is so refreshing! Today I had their herring in mustard-dill sauce on a sandwich for lunch.
Also you’re just the cutest 😭😭❤️
I live 3 miles from ikea in my local area and go w my husband and fam on tues and Fridays for half price meals! Coffee is free for ikea family members, dessert is inexpensive and the eatery has its own entrance! IKEA is the new coffee house! lol! The veg hot dogs are served at the main entrance eatery with stone ground mustard and I think pickled red cabbage and fried snack onions on top! Delicious! The ikea brick coffee the green liable is super tasty and smooth w a little fruitiness, lots of floral and chocolate…and not too expensive… $9 a pound! Thanks for this video, Emmy! ❤ so fun!
Gifflar is my favorite sweet from IKEA
I love salted black licorice❤
I usually get the oven baked chicken with yummy sides. So good 😋🍗
I Love this videoooos ❤❤❤
My absolute favourites from Ikea are the "chokladbollar" which are chocolate oat balls with coconut shavings on the outside, and the "punsch rolls", which are kinda like little cake pops wrapped in marzipan and dipped in chocolate. They're sooo good!
Those chokladbollar are really simple to make yourself.
It's one of those things every Swede grow up being the first thing you "bake" in preschool and at home.
We go to IKEA for the meal and to wander around. I loved the wall of candy and their chocolate cake.
Right?! Good times.
That Daim cake, YES! The first time i had Daim candy i thought it was the most wonderful thing and i still do. Definitely top 3 candy for me, expensive here in South Africa though so a bit of a splurge and 1 is simply not enough.
Oh how I wish the closest Ikea wasn't 3 hours away! Those all looked so scrumptious!
that chocolate moose is so cute❤
Love the veggie dogs! It's so nice to have something easy to make with "health" stuff in it!!
I love IKEA! I am so looking forward to my next visit! When I get a Daim cake, I cut it and freeze the individual slices. I also like the plain Almondy cake, but I haven’t seen them in the stores for a while. I also miss the princess tortes!
In Finland pick and mix section is basically at every supermarket so I was surprised when I found out it's not normal in most countries. Especially in the USA since there seems to be a culture of getting what you want when you order food or drinks. I mean that you can take out and add things and that is very normal so choosing the candy you want should be a thing too!
Emmy you should come to Finland (or Sweden) to experience the pick and mix sections! :D Also, it would be nice to see you taste fresh nordic bilberries, lingonberries, cloudberries and strawberries!
Just know that the after taste is the licorice it self. Licorice root tea is a natural sweetener. That is the aftertaste you get. Try Stash tea that’s licorice root
Now that's a bowl of happy!!
i love daim. i just want to go there to get some ahhh
We have the mixed bin bulk candy wall section in every food store in Sweden we have also specific only candy stores, people love candy in Sweden 😋😋😋
Aww I love that moose 🫎
perfect "thats what she said moment" when the sausage fell out the bag
that's what she said
I love their ketchup and mustard. It's great mixed together. I dip my fries in it.
We still have the pick and mix wall in my local IKEA in Perth, Western Australia
Love you!!
My rule of thumb for "veggie" burgers and hot dogs, is if it's trying to emulate meat, its (usually) not as good. but if it's only a "hot dog" or burger, in that its the shape to fit on a bun, they tend to be pretty good.
Ooooh i love Swedish candies sadly don't have an IKEA near me but i do occasionally treat myself from a Scandi food website. Yum
They have some around Christmas that’s a mix of apple pear and some other Swedish fruit but their almost like foamy gummies with a soft airy texture
I always love perusing pick & mix candy in any store. This love started with Brach's candy back in the 70's & 80's (I still have a soft spot for their root beer barrels and sour balls), which got supercharged when I discovered various ethnic delis had their own imported versions. While I have yet to find a black licorice that I truly like, I have managed to find a few that are somewhat tolerable - usually owing to the fact that other flavors have been mixed in, such as rhubarb or huckleberry.
As a dane we have those crunchy unions too and I love them
There's a small bon bon in NYC! It's pretty amazing but quite small
Biting thru wires is wild Emmy 😂😂😂
My favourite Ikea foods are the hotdogs and the seafood balls i.e. vegan fish roe. The seafood balls are not always available when I visit, so it it really grab when I see them. There is also their oat biscuits and ginger snap biscuits which are really nice and worth buying the big packets.
But logistically speaking, it is not easy, as it is a minimum of two buses to get there, or a taxi or Uber.
One of my favorite Ikea food items is the Blueberry Dryk! It's a concentrated almost syrup to mix with water, and it's wonderful with seltzer, lemonade, cocktails... I've been craving it to make some iced tea with! Really nice to make your drink as sweet or not as you want. Sadly it doesn't ship tho
Pick and mix is the best thing ever! Sometimes you just want a small bag with gummies, chocolate and salted licorice without buying individual bags. They are super popular here in Finland, every grocery store chain have them. People tend to wait for the price by weight to decrease and then everyone flocks to "the candy wall" to pick their favorites.
Soker bit makes Swedish candy too in NY
Lördagsgodis is "The Saturday Sweets" In Sweden, candy-eating is reserved for Saturday, when parents take their children to the candy shop to pick their week's choices. The candy is usually bought by weight at the candy shop or grocery store from big bins.
I miss going to ikea its about 2hrs away and i am now craving all of these goodies
The Daim-cake is very popular in Sweden!
I always get a slice of the Daim cake at the restaurant when I go!
You just reminded me I have chocolate chip cookies in the pantry, which just made my night! 😂
It is so nice to start watching a video and be called a beautiful lovely. She is such an awesome person.
Emmy, I would love to see you make more intentionally gluten free recipes! I'm entirely gluten free and I know you've had to cut back on it. Would love to see what kind of tasty treats you could cook up 😊
My cat Oreo has a sweet tooth. Anytime we open a candy bar, cake, ice cream, and believe it or not cotton candy, she tries to eat it. She would have enjoyed herself quite a bit. We unfortunately dont have an Ikea here in western NC. I think I would like it.
I miss the Ikea candy wall so much! To get the equivalent swedish candy today online cost around $30-40 😢. I want to say they got rid of the candy wall during Covid. There bagged candy isn't bad; especially the one with the rhubarb gummies!
Oh that Daim cake has such a hold on me 😂love that thing
