"original" swedish food is complete trash

Is there any good scandinavian food

Any food you can eat with lingonberry jam is good Swedish food.
Fläskpannkaka
Blodkorv
Palt
Isterband
Raggmunk
Kroppkaka
Köttbullar med potatismos (traditional Swedish food according to IKEA )
Too bad Swedish food is so much loving potatoes.

But with more pork.

I want to try his pork kebab/bernaise/fries durumrulle.

More seriously, smoked fish of all kinds are very Scandinavian and very good. Also rugbrød (no loving sugar).

I'm not disagreeing, it's my favorite dish, and the peak of Danish culinary culture After you've accepted it into your arteries, any further attempts at integration will only diminish you as a human.

When I was a kid my parents sometimes bought cheese they called "fotsvettsost", I think it was danish. Don't know what kind of cheese it really was.

I think this is a pretty common term for Gamle Ole and similar extra matured (and extra smelly) cheese types.

But seriously, I do get why you'd feel exposed, because mountains/valleys do create a sorta snug atmosphere in my experience. I do have to wonder though how you become famous mariners with a fear of flat terrain! Perhaps this anxiety drove you across the sea at great speeds so you could return to the loving embrace of your mountain daddies as quickly as possible.

Unlike the danes we never had much in the way of arable land, so i guess hunger drove us out across the great scary blue flat

You know what was certainly disappointing? Being told all my life that Venezuelan chocolate is the elite, the best chocolate in the world and that everyone acknowledges that fact. Then I came to Sweden, tried a Marabou bar and liked it way more than anything I've had before. I know it's all Mondelez nowadays but if Swedes have got something actually right, culinary speaking, it is in terms of desserts.

Next, try some Norwegian milk chocolate. Specifically from Freia (yes, "same" as Marabou, but they have their own production facilities and the process they use is ever so slightly different.)

I like this lakrits (finnish kind, not salmiakki), but I got high BP so I don't really eat it.





And the black licorice versions of Hallonbåtar is real nice.

Falukorv is great because it's a working class garbage staple that's like 30% meat and 70% cardboard. Nationalists act like the falukorv is the pinnacle of Swedish high culture (which it is but not in a good way)

Now the EU wants to let anyone make falukorv and nationalists lose their poo poo because they think the EU will lower the high standards set so far. Never mind that you couldn't get any less meat into falukorv without reclassifying it as office supplies.

Falukorv was invented by german engineers for swedish miners, kolbulle is another of those pancake variants for dirt poor woodworkers. That said the basic formula of Falukorv lends itself to interesting seasoning etc and we've figured out decent ways to use it. One good thing about swedish cuisinne is that it's definately the culinary heritage of workers and farmers that is the most prominent. The fact that stuff like Fläsklägg (pork hind leg) can cost you a decent penny in a stockholm restaurant is kinda funny when only 10-20 years ago urban upper middle class people shunned swedish food like it's the plague and couldnt wait to shovel down bastardised indian food or cheap sushi etc.

EU is looking at removing the weakest of the three types of regional restrictions to what you can call foodstuff:

https://www.atl.nu/lantbruk/falukorven-kan-forlora-sitt-skydd/

Basically they'll keep the ones that are locked to a region,
so you can't call your sparkling wine champagne or your ham parma if your factory is not located there. But the limitations that are just a specific recipe might be removed, so you can make falukorv and flavour it with curry and ginger to your heart's content without being chased by the EU sausage police or something, I dunno. It's not like Swedish falukorv is produced in Falun these days.

Västerbottensost won't be toutched then.

I am quite fond of that extremely salty chocolate you can get in Norway. Both because it's a real good treat, but also because the saltiness means I can only eat a couple pieces at a time before losing my appetite for it, whereas I have to struggle to keep myself from just consuming any other chocolate I get my hands on in a single sitting.

They should be made to pay for what they did to tacos alone. I know that the whole taco fredag concept was invented by Santa Maria, but did they really have to top them with loving cucumber?

I saw someone similarly butcher arepas in a Malmö food festival, in a manner completely incomprehensible to me as just about anything goes well with arepas. Everything but crunchy, bland fillings. So of course they picked cucumber and lettuce to go with whatever protein they put in there.

Man I was raised first on chicken on fridays (kungsfågel commercials) and then Tacos on friday.

Whatever happens, don't tell the italians what we put on pizzas.

Anyway, bourgeoisie Swedes love terrible fusion food. I once had Sjömansbiff crossed with some sort of turkish greek Moussaka, it was just awful. Atleast know which food traditions complement one another before you try to kitbash a main course, I've mixed in Belgian stuff in that particular dish before and it worked great.
