/ck/ - Food & Cooking

[Anonymous No.5485227]

Hi /ck/

I'm going to Sweden on Wednesday for a few days. I was wondering if anyone had any 'must try' foods while there or foods or ingredients to bring back?

Also, my dad has asked for some 'aqvavit'. Can anyone recommend a brand to look out for?

Thanks!

Tunnbrödsrulle, smörgåstårta, meatballs with mashed potatoes and lingonberries also Rey some different harrings. As for the akvavit try "Skåne akvavit"

Reindeer. Eat all of it. Don't leave a scrap for the local populace.

[Anonymous No.5485266]

depends entirely on where you're going. the cuisine of the north differs from the south. If you're going to Stockholm, you should check out Pelikanen. One of few places that serves traditional swedish cuisine aka "husmanskost". As for aquavit, try OP Andersson.

OP here, we're going to Gothenburg then Stockholm, it's a coach trip of theme parks. Hopefully I can find some interesting 'fast food' and also some proper meals.

I will definitely look out for the tunnbrodsrulle as that looks like the sort of thing they'd sell in one of the theme parks!

Thanks for the advice on the aqvavit, I will see what kind of prices I can get either of those for. If it's good I don't mind paying a bit more!

Food in Sweden is pretty decent. If you're not hitting up Jönköping, then don't bother trying our pizza.

You should try MAX if you like burgers (swedish chain).
And make sure to rape a few blonde females. That'll make you a true immigrant.

Do swedens artificially color their sausages as well or is that a danish thing?

[Anonymous No.5485661]

Try out some reindeer meat. It's amazing cooked and also good as jerky. When I was at a camping on the west coast as a kid there was this old man who looked like santa that went around and offered people dried reindeer meat. shit was salty but bretty good.

also meatballs etc. If you're around the southern parts, make sure to check out the Nordic Street Food -food truck

Reindeer is kinda rare and expensive in southern Sweden though, but you might find it at some higher end restaurant with some luck.

Reindeer meat tastes different from other types of venison I've had. The distinction is worth making.

Also, you're likely to encounter reindeer meat and other types of venison prepared in different ways.

Dude, get a kebab pizza and the garlic sauce. It's everywhere. There's good and bad pizzabakers of course, but definitely try it.

Pågen(round and "puffy") bread with some Skagenröra. An easy snack.

Don't think it's possible right now, but try to get your hands on Glögg.

Bloodkorv (blood sausage) but what he probably mean is blood pudding, similar to black pudding.
I prefer OP over Skåne akvavit.
Definately skip MAX hamburgers, overrated.
In Gothenburg you can find "fiskekörk" fisher's church, with the best swedish fish restaurant, definately try it if you don't have good fish places at home.
Some Swedish classics
-Kalops: Traditional stew.
-Dill-meat: sweet-sour stew with dill.
-cold salmon cooking methods; "gravad", "rimmad". Best either in "tunnbrödsrulle" or with stewed taters.
-Skagenröra: Shrimp, mayo, put on bread ftw.
-Smörgåstårta: Multilayered bread based cake with a combo of mayo, liver paté, ham, cheese, shrimp, cucumber, mimosa salad, etc.
-Kebabpizza w garlic (or "both") sauces.
-"Risgrynsgröt" rice and milk porridge.

If you want a fancier akvavit, go for the norwegian Linje Akevitt or Loiten Linje.

Dillkött - Veal or lamb cooked with dill and some alcohol and other stuff. Bretty good.

[Anonymous No.5490392]

Fried west coast herring. The east coast herring is a bit different, I guess due to the difference in the type of water or something. Shit, I'm no marine biologist.

[Anonymous No.5490395]

Kroppkaka - Sort of like a potato dumpling filled with pork/bacon, onion and allspice in some regions. Local variants do things differently, but this is the one i prefer. Serve with lingonberry jam and melted butter.

[Anonymous No.5490399]

>>5490392
There'e might be a difference in taste. But other than that the west coast one is bigger than the baltic one.

[Anonymous No.5490400]

Matjessill - Soused herring with diced egg and potato and dill. Serve with browned butter for orgasmic effect. I can eat this until I drop.

[Anonymous No.5490401]

Blodpudding - The name speaks for itself. Serve with bacon and lingonberry. You might notice a pattern here.

[Anonymous No.5490403]

Pannkakor - Pancakes. Not quite crepés, nothing at all like americakes. Serve with topping of choice. Pros roll them up into tubes.

[Anonymous No.5490406]

Fläskpannkaka - Pork pancake. An oven-based pancake with pork inside. Traditionally served with lingonberry jam, but I prefer putting sliced apples in the pan before you put in the mix. Apple and pork is a god tier combo.

[Anonymous No.5490411]

Saffranspannkaka - Saffron pancake. It's not a pancake in the traditional sense, it's made with glutinous rice, made for a pudding traditionally served around christmas. Use the leftover rice and make saffranspannkaka. Comes from the island of Gotland.

[Anonymous No.5490419]

Ostkaka - Swedish cheese cake. Not anything like it's american counterpart, this cheesecake is made with cheese curd or something like that. Cottage cheese can be used as a substitute if you're not hardcore. Served with whipped cream and a berry jam of your choice.

[Anonymous No.5490421]

>>5490411
Danefag here, never heard of these. Is it similar to the danish klatkager - which is just leftover rice porridge sometimes with egg and vanilla added, then butter fried in a pan?

Looks bretty good

[Anonymous No.5490424]

Risgrynsgröt - Rice pudding. Boil rice with milk and salt. Put cinnamon on top when done. Add syrup or you can just be a pig disgusting southerner and put fruit soup on it. It's traditionally served around christmas and you put out a big bowl for the house gnome. If you don't he'll be pissed and fuck your shit up.

most, if not all has been mentioned before but falukorv could be something worth a try although it's just sausage.

I really want to like these. In my head they should taste good, but the last time I visited sweden and saw these it was in some street vendor/cart where they'd been steaming/boiling all day and it was just this lump of gooey potato and grey meat.

Is there anywhere (preferably in malmö - Copenhagenfag here) that you can get some nice version of these?
Or can you make them yourself?

[Anonymous No.5490579]

>>5490558
Yeah, sounds like you got fucked by the street vendor. I don't know much about Malmö, but I think the places that might have it doesn't have it all the time.

Personally as much as I like swedish food the normal kroppkaka is not that interesting. There's too much dough and the flavor all derives from butter and pork. But that's just my personal taste.

When I make kroppkakor (or the deviant version of it) I use less dough, more meat, fried mushrooms and parsley. And after I've boiled it a quickly sear the outside so it gets crisp.
