Most people outside Sweden can probably name only one Swedish dish — Swedish meatballs. Thanks partly to IKEA, they’ve become famous around the world. But Swedish cuisine goes far beyond meatballs. In this video, we’re exploring 10 famous Swedish dishes, from comforting potato pancakes and creamy casseroles to elegant shrimp toast, cured salmon, cinnamon buns, and one of the most unusual fermented foods in the world. We’ll discover traditional dishes such as Köttbullar, Toast Skagen, Gravlax, Jansson’s Temptation, Smörgåstårta, Raggmunk, Kroppkakor, Pytt i Panna, Kanelbullar, and, of course, the famous — and slightly terrifying — Surströmming. I’ll also talk about Swedish food traditions like fika, lingonberries, preserved fish, and why Sweden’s cold climate played such an important role in shaping its cuisine. And Swedish meatballs have a special place on my list because I tried them in Stockholm a couple of years ago, and they were absolutely delicious.
