Top three - Nordic food
-
16-09-2011 9:29am#1With the intention to bring some life into this Nordic forum and, of course, inspire people to cook good food and try new things, I thought it could be a good idea to start a random thread with your top three Nordic foods
Mine would be:
1. Kalops
2. Kåldolmar
3. Smörgåstårta
Somehow, though, no one in my surrounding like smörgåstårta so I rarely get it
Oh well... At least I get cabbage rolls tonight
What food would be on your top three list?0

Hmmm will have to get one of my Swedish friends to explain no. 1 and 3 on your list there
My top 3 would be
1. Flæskesteg
2. 'Stjerneskud' (smørrebrød med fisk, asparges, kaviar, rejer osv.)
3. Min mosters brune sovs, som hun laver til julemiddagen
Can't wait to go home for xmas!0 -

No. 1 is a stew and no. 3 is lika a Swedish smørrebrød in cake form
Google pictures and you'll see.
Din nummer 2 låter fantastiskt god! Men så vet jag att danska smørrebrød är jättegoda...

Aha kalops is a kind of beef stew, looks delicious! I also googled smörgåstårta and I actually tasted that once! A Swedish friend made that for her birthday.
One of my favourite smørrebrød is the one called 'Dyrlægens natmad', mums!
Great thread, makes me want to go to Ikea for some meatballs

Perhaps there are some items in Ikea you can use to make something Danish as well
There ought to be sill and bread and such that you can use for a smørrebrød.
Oh, and Danish remoulade sauce is wonderful! But you wouldn't be able to get that in Ikea 0 -
I usually bring loads of remoulade back when I've been to DK eating chips is just not the same without it.
Aldi's got sild and rugbrød as well even though it's not completely the same but I usually get some when I go to Ikea. And I always have to get some snørrebånd too! I think you call them Snören
Hope they'll get an Ikea in Galway one day!0 -

I'm gonna say
- pinnekjøtt
- ferske reker
- rømmegrøt
But I have a real soft spot for Fiskepudding that nobody else shares
Mmmmmm, shrimp...
I have never even heard of the other two dishes and had to google your 1 and 3
Rømmegrøt sounds very intriguing. When would one eat that? For breakfast? What does it taste like? Is it sour?
Oh so many questions, who knew Norwegian food would be so different 0 -

No, Rømmegrøt is either eaten as a simple meal in itself or sometimes as a desert. We tended to have it after being in the mountains or out on the fjord (i.e. outdoors). It has a lovely sweet and cinnamon taste to it.0 -

Some very local things I've a great fondness for is Hvit Dame kake (en tradisjonell marsipankake med lange tradisjoner fra Bergen),skillingsboller, skoleboller and sommerboller (god I love boller!) and Hansa Champagnebrus.
Actually, I'd trade it all in for a bottle of Champagnebrus...0 -

My aunts "flæskesteg og brun sovs" was as good as I remembered but I also want to add "snebolde" to the list. Marcipan covered in white sugar, yum yum yum, brought 3 bags home with me 0 -

I've never had that, but those horror stories about the smell isn't making me brave enough to try it even
I've never tried it and never will, haha! I want to smell it though!0 -

Bottom three
Surstömming - trust your nose
Swedish Licorice - it's ok at first until you get a mouthful of ammonia, then you'll wish you had a mouthful of surströmming
Rotten and mouldy fruit and veg that Swedish supermarkets seem not to notice or care about. Coop are the worst.
Some of us can't live without it, ya know... :rolleyes:
Mmmmmmm... salty liquorice. Yum!
How do you feel about kroppkakor? I think they should be on your bottom-list too 0 -
Lady Chuckles wrote: »How do you feel about kroppkakor? I think they should be on your bottom-list too
I haven't had those. I've just googled it and I'm afraid I must opt out because I don't eat pork. But I do like vegetarian pyttipanna with fried egg and beets!
My hubby (a Swede) loves that licorice too. I guess I am a bit jealous that I can't scoff his goodies! There is a licorice speciality shop close to his office so he often has a bag. I like the loose goodies you can buy in the supermarkets. Dark chocolate covered cashews, yum!
I'd say there are plenty of Irish things that gross you out too. Crubeens perhaps? Can I tempt you to a nice coddle perhaps?
There are only a few things that I bother to import to Sweden. Barry's gold blend tea bags and pearl barley. Mince pies and Christmas pudding at Christmas.
I confess I haven't tried surströmming. I won't even touch sill.
I'd love to see some nordic people's bottom three Irish foods and top threes if you have them (Irish food isn't exactly fine dining).0 -

We have some sort of crubeen/pigs foot also around Christmas, I'd never eat it though. Yuck!
I have to confess of all the Irish food I've tried, I'm not very fond of Guinnses or the Irish fry (saying it is a sin!). It's just that the black pudding doesn't taste like the one I'm used to, white pudding is strange and so are the wee sausages
... But I couldn't possibly live without the McDonnell's curry sauce :pac:0 -
One of the delights of Nordic cuisine, karjalanpiirakka (Karelian rice pasty) from eastern Finland. Made with rye dough, boiled rice filling and served with a mixture of mashed hardboiled eggs and butter.
I have been told that in the old days real connoisseurs could identify exactly which village a Karelian pasty came from, because the lady who made them always left her distinctive mark ...:D:D:D

No mention of these? How disappointing
1. Medisterpølse with Vendsysselsgrønlangkål and suger browned potatos and brown sauce. The sourcing of the sausage has to be from a local butcher as the super market variety is nothing close.
2. Home made warm leverpostej with bacon, mushrooms on freshly baked ryebread, served with an ice cold beer.
3. Tarteletter with chicken and asparagus, topped with parsley.
And all the fine meals that goes with Aquavit.0 -
Theres two new cake type of things on the market now from sweden (or at least based on swedish stuff) and they are absolutely savage, love them !
I've tried the Almonds one. It's v nice warmed up gently in a low microwave, served with icecream. But the cake is very hard to slice a piece from when frozen. But worth the effort.0 -

It's Scandinavian Cuisine coming up in Lidl http://www.lidl.ie/cps/rde/xchg/lidl_ri_ie/hs.xsl/29109.htm

Not a great selection imho. If I ever move back to Ireland, none of this is the stuff I'd miss.
Definitely avoid the meatballs! Much nicer to make your own anyway. I make large batches of organic beef meatballs for my freezer.
If I had to choose something from the Lidl selection it would be the almond tart.
I wonder if they'll do an Irish theme up here in Sverige...0 -
...... with Irish curry sauce (mine is running out so i need to go to Ireland to fetch some) and all sorts of lovely stuff you put in your sandwiches
Food is really nice in Ireland. Although, I do miss my pastry-fika whenever I'm there 0 -
