The best thing in Sweden by far is the "smått och gott" bin section in the grocery store.

tack, super !!

I went on my first international trip to Sweden last week, and I saw most of the things mentioned! I was such a fan of the cheese slicer I had to buy one once I got home 😂 (from IKEA of course)

I grew up with an Osthyvel! My grandmother (100% Swedish) ALWAYS had one in her house, and I've always kept one, much better than cutting cheese!

I have that candle rotating thingy but with a christmas tree instead atop.

Knäckebröd is something that comes to mind. We always had it in our house growing up, but I found out that not everybody had it (or could even get it). My grandmother, who was from the Southern US, was aghast when she first saw my grandfather spread butter on his knäckebröd “as thick as a slice of cheese” AND THEN slapped a “plank of cheese” on top of it. I remember thinking that it wasn’t strange at all when she told me about it. I feigned alarm at the time for appearances.

Some fun facts from an American’s perspective on the items. 1. Americans used shoe horns all the time until around the 1980s. They are popular with older people. They fell out of fashion, and you can usually only find long plastic ones sold in shoe stores, but in limited quantity. Although they have very small ones that they give away for free at the shoe stores. 2. The moose crossing signs are common in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, Utah and Wyoming. Especially in Yosemite National park. Moose are illegal to hunt or kill in America so I never had tasted moose until I was in Sweden and it is like a top 3 kött. 3. We have butter knives like that but they are metal and small. You keep them in a butter dish. 4. The osthyvel is sold in America at fancy home goods stores, but it is usually something that is advertised as like a peeler for many different things. Not just cheese. 5. Americans should never know snus or else it would take over entire Redneck communities in the country side, because it’s just a convenient way of using chewing tobacco. Lol

Actually, it's not illegal to hunt moose in the US as a whole. There may be restrictions in some states, but there are lots that allow moose hunting, although usually on a strict tag system. Here in Canada, most provinces also have a strict tag system for moose, and people can have their names in the draw to receive a tag for years before finally getting a tag. It's a lot like winning the lottery for some.

It's very curious because in Spain we call "llave inglesa" to the skiftnyckeln, which means "English key".

I want to know more about salty liquorice! 😊 Im a big fan and luckily there is a special nordic import shop in my city where I can get all sorts.. So, is it common all over the north, are there special types that are just swedish or just eg dutch or is it just a cold climate food for surviving freezing winters and seas? 😅

@FunSwedish

10 ай бұрын

That is a very good question. Not sure why it is so popular in the north. Maybe because the plant where the liquorice comes from grows here. But not sure, will investigate a bit more about it. Maybe we can make a special video just dedicated to lakrits.
