Swedish Smörgâsbord: Surviving Fermented Herring (Part 1)

Рет қаралды 582,569

Күн бұрын

In the Munchies Guide to Sweden, host Ivar Berglin explores the culinary offerings of Europe’s emerging culinary star. From reindeer to fermented herring, Ivar explores the dishes that define his nation and discover how a fresh culinary approach, New Nordic Cuisine, is shaping the future.
In our opening episode, Ivar travels to Goteborg, Sweden’s fish capital, to put together a Swedish smörgâsbord with catch fresh from the sea. Then he tries one of Sweden’s weirdest dishes, surströmming - fermented herring. Ivar’s day finishes in Lysekil where he meets two fishermen who harvest Swedish oysters before eating the freshest possible shellfish on a secluded island.

Mahesh Motant It is for anyone who lives outside Sweden. Sweden allows many immigrants escaping conflict from war-torn areas. Otherwise it is difficult. The only way is to either have family, or get an education their. Seeing as how my only Swedish ancestor was my great great grandfather who immigrated to the US in 1850 I'm out of luck.
