    As a Pole I agree.... pickled herring is life!

    The oldest pickled herring is spiced herring. We have been eating it since at least the middle of the 18th century.
    The herring has a long and important history in our country. In periods it was abundant and then it was important to catch as much as possible and save for the future. This was done by salting, drying or smoking the fish. - The basis of Swedish food culture is grains and fish. We eat beef and pork too.
    The reason why we eat herring as an introduction to the Christmas table is connected to what is called the snaps table. It was a standing appetizer that was common already in the middle of the 17th century. It included butter, bread and cheese, some salty fish such as herring or salmon and then some salted meat. To this they drank three kinds of snaps/vodka. This costume has survived on the smorgasbord and has become the introduction there. We repeat it at Easter, Midsummer and Christmas. So it is something we have done for well over 400 years.

    Best part of this video is that finnish song Säkkijärven polkka in the backround.

    Quite a lot of the older generation especially in Northern England eat pickled herrings, we call it either Roll mop Herring or Soused Herring

    Kind of interesting that you chose to play the Finnish Säkkijärven polkka the baking part though.

    I definetly recommend to try also ABBA pickled herring. Not the band, but it’s a company.

    • @Komona
      @Komona Před 12 dny

      I wouldn't. Their herring is awful. Go for Klädesholmen instead. Much higher quality. Abba's mustard hering should be considered a war crime.

    It;'s not just Sweden. In Germany we have Maatjes which are just raw herring. Which we eat with onions.

      @benktlofgren4710 Před 21 dnem

      That explains the origin of the sill matjessill, often canned spiced herring but not salted. Always thought it was a weird name but it explains it then.

    A good description of some of the very much loved Swedish seafood, but I must add that the pronunciation of the Swedish names is really bad! 😆

    Im swedish and I never heard anybody use the word smorgosboard (smörgåsbord). Its like a thing americans says about swedes but i I think if you ask a swede what that is they cant answer it

      It might not be that common but it is sometimes used when referring to a Buffet.

      @tocraneandcrane Před 2 měsíci +2

      Of course there are black people in Sweden, Sweden like most countries has immigrant communities and many have been there long enough for their kids and even grandkids to have been born and raised in Sweden. Though I don't know why any of this is relevant to a 10 minute long food travel video about pickled fish lol
