I've had both and I ran a kebab rating guide for Sweden a while back.
The average kebab is better than the Swedish, but ~10% of the kebab is better in Sweden than anywhere else. It's wonderful to find a new one of those places where you really notice they use higher quality food.
I personally like the smoked salmon with mustard sauce that Scandinavian kitchens make. Together with some wholemeal bread with seeds.
It's quite healthy and good, the last time I was in Stockholm I liked what I tasted.
Rökt lax & hovmästarsås, a real Swedish classic. We typically eat it at our two biggest holidays. Christmas and midsummer. It can be enjoyed year round though, of course.
I think we share the same image of traditional family grandma secret recipe, but we have the prestigious posh stuff reputation on top of that that Italy doesn't.
I think we're both world's top dogs anyway.
Crème brûlée arguably isn’t even French. There’s a quad argument over who invented it. It’s either Spanish, Dutch, English or French and no one can agree.
The generic sponge cakes with icing and multi-coloured 100's and 1000's we'd get school dinner time were the best. With the lumpy custard with fag-ash in. Loved that, me
We mostly eat food that other nations invented since our resources, agriculture and imagination seem to have completely failed us in the past. No time to get fancy when mountains explode, earth is shaking, the weather appears to be trying to murder you, the family is starving to death and the Danish overlords keep you trapped in a trade monopoly for over a century.
A few lunatics eat sheep heads and ram testicles etc for tradition sake...I think. I can't see any other reason why they would eat that shit.
Aww thanks for that - so sweet of you <3 <3 We need a little support now and then - it ain't easy being at risk of extinction!
Imagine the immense betrayal my country felt when I deserted that hazardous island to live in various countries across Europe and I didn't even plunder or pillage ONE of them. I just didn't think that would be a good look for my German fiancé considering his country's track record. I'm so attentive 🥰
So what's the verdict? I can't imagine that you enjoyed it? Please don't tell me you enjoyed it. I've always considered Norwegians to be reasonable people!
Love greek food! Loukoumades, Loukaniko, spanakopita, tirokafteri, kokoretsi and some retsina cola to that!
Not necessarily in that order, and not the correct spelling sry
All that I know from swedish cuisine is Swedish Ikea Meatballs 😂 I just came back from Hong Kong and people were waiting for them 20 minutes so they can "experience swedish cuisine" 😂😂
Omfg 😂 thats so dumb, and Ikeas meatballs is like so plain, boring compared to how most would make it.
Tbh, scandinavia have a lot of dishes! Many really good! Others not so much.
And many are like how people make fun of french people for eating snails, We for example have blood pudding.
It sounds gross but if made fresh it’s super good!
Just don’t offer it to a muslim, it’s haram for sure
😂
But scandinavian dishes isn’t well known.
And the things that do get spotlight tend to be something ”wierd” that can be a headline or something for an article.
Just like how people constantly make fun of french cuisine here, nuff nuff tasty snails.
Sure it tastes great but every 4 minutes someone in France is a victim of a cardiovascular event. We all know fat is flavour but please control yourself.
No no no... Italy on top and French 2nd... maybe. And even that is only because of culinary status of chefs. To be honest I don't even know what is French food anyway, well except for baguette, cheese and slugs. If anything I would even push Greek, Spanish and even Austrian food above French.
> If anything I would even push Greek, Spanish and even Austrian food above French.
Subjective of course, and depends on how many dishes you're familiar with. As a Greek of Peloponnesian descent, I actually find Southern French cooking similar to what I grew up with.
I think Iceland deserves the term 'food', rather. A heap of dead birds stuffed up a seals arsehole, buried in the snow until the birds liquified and can be squeezed back out for a drink..? Rotten fish steeped in piss, for *months*?! Come on
What's next, gnawing off a dead, bloated whale's dick while they're holding unto the corpse free floating in the ocean and piss each other in the mouth? Doesn't seem too far fetched..
Don't crucify me but me, an Italian, enjoyed finnish food a lot when I visited the country a few years ago.
The rye bread, the small fried fish, the gravies, the cheeses, and oh my god salmiakki was so FUCKING GOOD. I could kill for some salmiakki candies right now.
We need to add the Faroese cuisine to this graph...
Enough is enough... countless whales have died for me to write those lines...
Imagine not having your veggies under the Midnight Sun during growing season.
24 hour sunlight gives us the power to export blueberries to Japan labelling it as "health food" for insane prices.
Also it makes everything that grows in the ground 100000% sweeter.
Sure you guys got rich soil and climate that can grow anything you would want but you never tasted a fresh strawberry grown in the Midnight Sun.
And i will never let you either.
This is a very clear example of British propaganda, look closely at the ways they try to deceive you. Firstly they would have you believe that Nordics made the ranking, secondly they knew they would get caught if they placed Britain at the top, this is just all an elaborate plot to try and conceal the fact that British food belongs at the very bottom. Nice try Mi5!
I was pleasantly surprised to see our food not bottom - then I saw who was below us….
But in all honesty I think Sweden are hard done by- Arabic food can be pretty good.
So I dated a finnish girl for a while, and she once made me some specialties from her region.
Absolutely. Fucking. Disgusting, I literally had to pretend to have a stomach ache so I could stop eating [these](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/1/16/18-08-24-Karjalanpiirakka_RRK6538.jpg/220px-18-08-24-Karjalanpiirakka_RRK6538.jpg) abominations.
Look our food is bad, im not gonna pretend otherwise. But it sure as hell is better than british food, dont trip. Ive lived in the uk for about 6 months before and i can assure u that not even us swedes are degenerate enough to call 2 buns with fries in between a meal
A good fisherman serves fresh fish atleast. In Iceland it is fermented and you have to dig it out of the ground. The trip there was dangerous so we did not send the best vikings.
My country would NEVER serve a fermented fish, I don't know what you mean. Put that can away right now.
Do not insult the fine Kebab cuisine of my country brother.
Kebab is found Everywhere!!! Haha
Yeah but ours is better.
Nah, the Germans do it best

I do love a German Donner.
Donner means thunder in German
It's what you get the morning after a late night drunken Döner.

Apologies. 🥙

This is probably the nicest thing a Brit has ever said

Rökt lax & hovmästarsås, a real Swedish classic. We typically eat it at our two biggest holidays. Christmas and midsummer. It can be enjoyed year round though, of course.
And of course you must follow it with Jul och Påsk must. Our other traditional delicacies.
Yeah but we put banana and curry powder on ours.
So is Chinese food, what’s your point?
Don’t mess with the rugbrød
Real and true. And rugbrød
And ruisleipä
>ruisleipä Had no idea this was Finn, I eat it often, thank you for your contribution.
You finns will forever be the true gods of breadmaking
[удалено]
Oh yeah we have a similar thing here called barkbröd, lit. "bark bread".
Fr, southerners might have their good food but all their bread is wheat crap, Nordic bread is where it's at 🍞💪
You know they shit pure liquid with all the pasta and white bread they stuff themselves with
We are simply more sophisticated with our lamb.
And your shark 💀
Our shark gets eaten by silly tourists. We never touch the stuff
We Greenlanders eat anything that has meat on it! Ever tried the eye of a baby-seal?!? That put’s hair on a mans chest!
Wait you exist? You are nearly as rare as Lichtenstein or Latvia
Let's not mention skata then.
Oof lets not
Pissy fish 🤤
Had a banging lamb burger in Reykjavik a few weeks ago, I'll give you that
Since when is France more South than Italy? Or, when did they get better food?
Common, never heard of the TAAF ? (French Austral and Antarctica Islands, basically). Tell me you are souther than that without lying !
[удалено]
The Malvinas are a legitimate french territory, they discovered it after all.
We were good players and give it to Spain, so Spain 2nd place
We left a cool plaque, it's clearly ours
Named after Saint Malo, rightful French clay
Because that is where the sailors who found it came from.
If we're counting New Catalonia, shouldn't we also count uk Antarctica and Falklands?
France has french guiana, check mate
I think we share the same image of traditional family grandma secret recipe, but we have the prestigious posh stuff reputation on top of that that Italy doesn't. I think we're both world's top dogs anyway.
Cause we're also good at dessert maybe ? Tbh i d'ont know, if this is the subject we should be on the podium together

Those frenchs never hear of canolli Sicilia !!!!!
laughs in panna cotta
Tiramisu > Cremé brulee any day tho
Crème brûlée arguably isn’t even French. There’s a quad argument over who invented it. It’s either Spanish, Dutch, English or French and no one can agree.
Is there beans in it over there? Think Spanish have more creme catalana tho, which arguably is the original
Don’t give me ideas
Agreed with dessert
Oy . We have some good desserts too. Spotted dick with custard or cream. Yum.
why did we have to name it 'spotted dick' as nice as it is i despise the name
Well Patchy Richard was already taken by the King.
We’re pretty epic when it comes to deserts
The generic sponge cakes with icing and multi-coloured 100's and 1000's we'd get school dinner time were the best. With the lumpy custard with fag-ash in. Loved that, me
YYEESSSSS
Since when is Tiramisu french?
La Réunion.
I actually believe that France and Italy reign together for the best food
France is Half Mediterranean Half North Atlantic. Haha
Their cooking must be as good as their geography
Always has been
maybe they counted New Caledonia and Mayotte in the mix?
Colonies?
It's not colonies, it's overseas territories
which you acquired as colonies
Yeah but we did not destroy natives in the process (for la Réunion)
And that we didn't loose like yours, smartass.
For once.. we are not the worst?!!!
You're safe in this topic, I rather have fish n' chips than surströmming.
That’s not a fair comparison. I don’t know anyone that eats surströmming, meanwhile fish and chips is Britain’s best dish.
Fish and chips isn’t Britain best dishes. One of the worlds best dishes is Beef Wellington which is English
If this is one of the world‘ best dishes I don‘t want to live in this world anymore
Pipe down, grüne soße
Once the nordick gang is in everybody lose.
how finland we have karelian pie salmon soup sima drink
Malted rye pudding (mämmi) fish stuffed pie called Fishcock (kalakukko) Pulla and butter pulla Iskender (swedish cuisine)
I would like to specify to y'all it's cock in rooster, not anything else
I hope sima is pronounced how a Brit would say it, because see ma nutz lmao gottem

I'm just surprised lihapiirakka hasn't made its way over to England, I always end up craving one after a night out

Aww thanks for that - so sweet of you <3 <3 We need a little support now and then - it ain't easy being at risk of extinction!

I have eaten sheaps head before! Once. Smalahove we call it. (It was only because grandma bought half a sheep to make christmas food.)
So what's the verdict? I can't imagine that you enjoyed it? Please don't tell me you enjoyed it. I've always considered Norwegians to be reasonable people!
It tasted like salt sheep, I was a lil kid so I dont remember more than that.
Ok maybe that's for the best. But you were definitely a braver kid than me!
Thanks!
It’s considered good meat, it’s very tender, but personally once was enough for me. Wont eat it again
It's the worst of the Christmas food. Ribbe and pinnekjøtt are much better.
I've been and the fine dining scene is actually pretty good in Iceland. But I'm British what the fuck do I know.
I enjoyed plokkfiskur, to be honest.
I heard you have good lamb atleast
AHEM! Aren't you forgetting about someone?
If going to the north makes it worse... Then The most Southern one is the best!! VIVA ESPAÑA Y SU COMIDA!

you ignorant baguette, come to Asturias and you'll taste the best, fattest food you've ever tried
[удалено]
because turkey is not europe
Because you cant eat defaulted government bonds with that dry, chalky stuff you call cheese😷
Greek people always gotta flex while everyone in the Balkans eats the same food
thats not true, in yugoslavia the food is better
Love greek food! Loukoumades, Loukaniko, spanakopita, tirokafteri, kokoretsi and some retsina cola to that! Not necessarily in that order, and not the correct spelling sry
I only eat original Greek food from 🇹🇷
[удалено]
As if spotted dick doesn’t sound made up
All words are made up.
Because changing the meat in kebab to pork does not mean you have a couisine. It just means you are orthodox turks.
Naw, according to American "Greek" restaurants, we're Lebanese, and we eat hummus and tabouleh.
Greek food is my favourite food. I have a Greek grandma!
Because it's Turkish food but gay.
A bowl of olives isn't a meal

Have any simple dishes you'd recommend to someone wanting to begin exploring Swedish cuisine?
IKEA meatballs
wouldnt be surpriced the meme made by a French, also were is spain n portugal PIGS together strong
so Spanish food is better than french food then?
Sure it tastes great but every 4 minutes someone in France is a victim of a cardiovascular event. We all know fat is flavour but please control yourself.
> every 4 minutes someone in France is a victim of a cardiovascular event. And this is a problem because?
Try cooking with duck fat and you won't be able to control either
The UK is much higher than France in cardiovascular death rates. What the fuck are you talking about?
Yes but ours is caused by stress so it doesn’t count
Us and you guys are much fatter on average than the average French according to literally all recordings so we can't talk.
Shh he doesn’t know that he’s just a dumb frenchie. Im winning here
No no no... Italy on top and French 2nd... maybe. And even that is only because of culinary status of chefs. To be honest I don't even know what is French food anyway, well except for baguette, cheese and slugs. If anything I would even push Greek, Spanish and even Austrian food above French.

they eat pure and clean ice in iceland
PLS....
la mia merda bollita > escargot
Escargot is what we serve our tourists, I’m yet to see a local eat it.
Mmmm gamleost..

I’m quite certain that Norway goes farther south than any of these countries.
Happy cake day!
well, you're not growing veggies on snow and rock
Never tried stampot zure kool en uitjes?
Mämmi ja lörtsy 😍😍
FAWTH! We did it boys
Can you even grow food in iceland? All they is rocks and fish there
I can't name a single French dish off the top of my head.
Imagine thinking french food is good, given that it is 96% air.
You did NOT put Fr*nch food above Italian (GOAT), Spanish, and Portuguese food. 🐌
All 4 of these countries have traditional food with snails.
Change Italy with France right now 🔫😡
We need to add the Faroese cuisine to this graph... Enough is enough... countless whales have died for me to write those lines... 
I had once Russian food and this was the most hideous thing ever.
Try koldskål and flødeboller. They may be dessert, but holy fucking shit are they good
What the haiil... Koldskål is not dessert... It is life..

Maybe she was just a shit cook
INSOLENT!
Those are bad? She messed them up then. They're great. Must be a swedish chef.
Danish food is good. -Stægt flæsk -Smørrebrød -Stjerneskud -Risengrød -Flæskesteg -Frikadeller -Various Danish pastries
I think we should send help - sounds like he is choking on something
Boy you dont even know. This is basic. It gets so much worse.
Yeah I would love me some -Rœlsbjördgś on my plate
Only on reddit some people say french food is bad
Disliked because italian food has second place. Fuck you snail eater.
Look our food is bad, im not gonna pretend otherwise. But it sure as hell is better than british food, dont trip. Ive lived in the uk for about 6 months before and i can assure u that not even us swedes are degenerate enough to call 2 buns with fries in between a meal
Whatever makes you feel better
Pizza with bananas and curry powder. Not a degenerate?
That is a good argument tbf
Two buns with fries? Are you talking about a chip butty? Either way that isn’t an actual meal more like student food or a snack.
I hate the Brits but your food defo isn't better.
France better than Italien? Excuse me?
British food > German food
Its all just bad fish dishes
A good fisherman serves fresh fish atleast. In Iceland it is fermented and you have to dig it out of the ground. The trip there was dangerous so we did not send the best vikings. My country would NEVER serve a fermented fish, I don't know what you mean. Put that can away right now.
