0:18 You know you are in a touristy place when the cakes have swedish flags and described in english...

Glögg is a Christmas drink and winters are cold, so thats why it's warm

Our life changed when we tried Swedish meatballs for the first time.

I have never seen glögg with a foam! If you ever find a Scandinavian food store in the US, I recommend the brand Blossa if they have it. It's my favorite of all glöggs I have ever tried! Glögg is the Swedish version of mulled wine, but it is not exactly the same as mulled wine in other countries as different spices are used. You are suppose to drink it with raisins and pealed almonds in the drink when you drink it. The base of the Glögg spices are cloves, cinnamon, cardamom and ginger.

My grandparents came from Sweden in 1925, so I grew up with a lot of Swedish foods. Glögg in home recipes is brandy, port wine, spices, and EVERCLEAR !! It had to be lit on fire prior to serving on Christmas Eve (our big holiday party of the year). Never had gravy/sauce on köttbullar (meatballs). If you can get to Öland, kropkakkor is a traditional potato dumpling that is SO good.

As for mulled wine that you drank, it should be drunk warm when the flavors are released and then you drink it during Christmas. To understand how it is with the spicy mulled wine, if you first taste it cold and then the same mulled wine but heated, you will notice that the heated mulled wine is tasty. Mulled wine tastes especially good when you have been out in the fridge, so the warm mulled wine with spices warms up the body. Best brand of mulled wine is Blossa strong wine mulled wine (14% alcohol)

The glögg didn’t look right. We don’t have foam on our glögg here in Sweden. It’s usually served in a much smaller amount than what you got too. We don’t drink a big glass of it and not with cinnamon buns. Usually we add raisins and flaked almonds to it, which we fish up with a teaspoon when they are softer and have become infused with the glögg. If we serve anything with it, it would likely be lussekatter (saffron bread) or ginger bisquits. We only drink this in winter time. What you had looked like a different drink altogether. Lingon berries are not served with most foods in Sweden, only with a few dishes and meatballs is one of them. Meatballs are not so often eaten as fine dinner food, it’s more a filling lunch meal really or family dinner food, although you can of course eat it when you want. But you won’t usually get it at a fancy dinner party here in Sweden. We love our meatballs though although we don’t consider them fancy food. Just as often as we eat them with potatoes, cream sauce and lingon we also eat them with milk stewed macaroni or with spaghetti and ketchup. It’s quite common here to have a bag of meatballs in your freezer, either homemade previously or store bought versions of various brands. We just pop them into a frying pan, cook some potatoes or pasta and eat. So although many tourists seem to think this is fancy food in Sweden, it isn’t. Tasty though! We have a name for our Swedish traditional food dishes. We call them Husmanskost. Meatballs are husmanskost. So if you visit Sweden and look for traditional Swedish food, check the menu for husmanskost. Some husmanskost can be considered fine dine food and some is more simple home dinner kind of food. You can find vegetarian versions of some husmanskost. Meatballs are of course often meat based (beef and pork mixed or only beef), but you can easily find chicken meatballs and different plantbased versions made of peas or soy.

God damn that glögg was a scam, you can get an entire bottle of glögg for that price.

We also call that mushroom the gold of the forest, you seemed to understand why; )

At 2 minutes,When I eat a cinnamon,I remove the most of the sugar on top with the finger for less "Sugar rush"..:-)

Glogg or Glögg as we wright it, is more of a winter time drink to warm you up from the cold weather.

Please go to Scania (the most Southern landscape) as well.

Go to Gothenburg should be fun

Great video. Too bad you guys came during our coldest summer in recent times :D And like all other comments mentioned, Glögg is something you have in the same way you would drink hot chocolate, but a bit more fancy. Sometimes when you have christmas parties, this is what you would serve as people arrive or when the get together starts. Served both with and without alcohol. Not sure why they served it at a bakery in the summer, never seen that before :D

2:59 this aint sweden, looks like greece. Actually looks like a road i used to walk in Pireaus

Glögg are the winter drink

Cloud berries are totally different than Lingon berry. 😊

Lingonberries are eaten with 3, maybe 4, meals. It's not with "almost every meal"

Stockholm prices are extremly expensive. If you had gone outside Stockholm prices woud have dropped. Because your tourist they will direct you to the places most expensive.

So you only got one potato and four meat balls on your plate?! Maybe it was a child ration?

I know it is an american thing but it looks so weird and difficult to eat without using the knife together with the fork when you eat🙂

She´s cute!

oh my God, I so fall in love with the girl , she is so cute and lovely,

if you have some friends in sweden, i think you get that for free, !!!
