It's funny, across other economically uniform Scandinavia there are a few major, major differences when it comes consumer prices in daily life.

Both Denmark and Norway have ridiculous taxes on cars, while Sweden has virtually zero.

Liquor in Sweden and Norway is outrageously expensive, we're talking up to 60-70 USD for a simple 1 liter bottle of Absolut Vodka, while in Denmark it's down to around 20 / liter for average big brand booze, and we can pop down to the German border and get it around 30% cheaper. I wonder how much illegal / black market import there is in particularly southern Sweden. It's legal for them to take up a limited amount for personal use (rule of thumb 10 liters), but technically it's illegal to load up a trailer with 100 bottles intended for sale and profit.

Very translatable!

Medister = med (English "with") ister.

It's random ground meats with ister, obviously.

What is ister, you say? From the Norse "istr", fat of the entrails (especially around the kidneys).
Usually from pigs, a gloriously unhealthy sort of fat used for thousands of years to make savoury Christmas food and to wax skis (no kidding).
"ister"? I thought you were joking. I'm Danish and didn't know this!
