Salling is just the store brand for Bilka and Føtex stores. It's good.
The jarred potatoes aren't pickled, but simply in a salt brine.
and netto
Salling group owns:
Bilka, netto, BR (toy store), Føtex, Salling and Wupti.
I was shaking my head when he talked about tasting them. lol .. "Don't do it, don't do it" 🤣
@@drueckglueck9918 yep check google
the brined botatoes are often used for caramelized potatoes, which is exactly what is sounds like, potatoes caremalized in a sugar/butter mixture.
Hi! Dane here! Just dropping some facts about stuff in the video;
- Leverpostej is, as you said, a liver paté and it is VERY popular here. it doesen't go on crackers tho, it goes on rugbrød or any other bread.. It mostly goes in lunchboxes and is eaten for lunch (or breakfast on a peace of white bread) and depending on the person, it can be topped with remolade, pickles, mayonaise, pickled beetroot and so much more (my fav is bacon lol)
- The cocio (chocolate milk) is very danish! The stuff at the bottom is not syrup, but most likely the chocolate that sink. Cocio is made of sugar, chocolate and milk! that's it! You have to remember to shake it VERY well or it tastes kinda bland..
- Yes, here we (most of us atleast) are raised on ryebread, and bread with alot of seeds and protein and fibers. It is very rare that you see white bread, or even toast in kids lunchboxes, because it's so Danish and extremely normalised to eat healthy bread!
- Nope! The potatoes aren't pickled! They're in a salt brine and are often made into carmelized potatoes around chrsitmas time (mostly at the christmas dinner on the 24th)
Sorry if this sounded snobish, i just love educating people about my country :,)
No thank you.... no excuses.... Personally i am dead tired of foreigners coming here to make a video of our food, places, people, mentality etc and then gets everything wrong....
lol
Both Leverpastej and cocio exist in Sweden
Dont know the country of orgin though
In Sweden, Cocio is called Pucko
@@elifan06 "Pucko is a classic Swedish drink made from milk, sugar and chocolate. It is currently manufactured by Cocio in Denmark. Standard logo in 2021."
Caramelized potatoes is the best thing about Christmas. lol
It is actually illegal in Denmark to charge the customer for an item if it falls and breaks. The stores are the ones taking the risk by having it displayed, so they take the loss. So there is no "you break, you buy" policy, as it is literally illegal.
I don’t think they can make you pay for it in the states or Canada either. They might ask, but unless they press charges because the damage was deliberate, they can’t force you to pay.
Good to know. Im a dane always thought if one breaks something you have to pay for it. Oh Well you learn every day 😂🤷🏼♀️
Fake news dawg
@@Golaar699 No it isn't. Assuming you are Danish since you commented on Danish law, here is a quote from Dansk Erhverv:
"Hos Dansk Erhverv modtager vi jævnligt henvendelser fra medlemmer, der er i tvivl om, hvordan reglerne er, hvis en kunde kommer til at ødelægge en udstillingsvare i butikken. Udgangspunktet er, at kunden ikke skal betale, hvis der er tale om et hændeligt uheld."
@@Golaar699 it is true. I live in Denmark so i know that😂😂
4:00 Cocio - goes with a hotdog - after a night on the town. A true classic
Yeah, back in the day, in winter time, finding a hot dog stand (skinke kutter, if you know the Danish slang), you might see Cocio being kept warm on the plate ment to keep hot dog bread warm. It was heaven on a cold work day.
Now that, is a fact of life.
Also known as "Congo Bajer" (Congo Beer).
@@sneakyfox4651 I just love pølsevogns slang,en rød og en ristet hotdog,eller en død indianer på ryggen i en kano og et skinkesøm i en åben kiste🤣
Salling is the Private Label for Føtex and Bilka. The two stores are owned by the Salling Group.
Every price marked with red color on the LED-tags is on sale.
The Lay's chips was on sale. Normal price per bag is aprox. Dkr. 25,00 - 34.00,- (USD 3.57 - 4.86) depending of the brand.
The pickled potatoes is just cooked and peeled then filled with water. Typically used for caramelized potatoes. You can rinse them in cold water and eat them cold but I wouldn't recommend it. 😉
Salling also owns Netto, so a lot of Salling group products there to.
@@AnamiDK That is correct. I was in doubt if Netto also have Salling products. I didn't mention Netto because it's a discount market. I was focused in that Bilka is a Hypermarket and lastly Føtex is a supermarket and these to have the same brand and labels. Netto can have some own labels and brands that the others might not have.
@@ingloriousdaneNettos private label brands are named differently, but the products are the same. I work in netto and sometimes we’ll get a box or two of “Salling” products, which are identical to say “Snaxters” “Hello Sensitive” “Sereno” or “La Campagna” (Nettos private labels). So it’s the same product in a different packaging, but usually things are a bit cheaper in Netto.
The fløde leverpostej is NOT with fish.. Fløde means cream 🤭
imagine fiske leverpostej 🤣
Yeah I think she misread "frisk" and thought it said "fisk"
@@frozt6451 sildepostej (Herring paté) is actually quite delicious. It has a very nice smokey flavor.
It was with cream and apple :) Sounds nice
Caviarpostej 👌 @@frozt6451
Carlsberg is Danish, which is probably why it is reasonably priced
Also alcohol and beer in particular is fairly cheap in Denmark compared to the rest of Scandinavia
Carlsberg elefant öl.
@@Rikard_A ja tak
@@Rikard_A The swedes know the good stuff. 🙂
Ad Carlsberg hvem fanden drikker det pis😂
I agree with you that supermarket prices are not that bad in Denmark. When many tourists complain about the prices, then I think it is because they tend to buy from the tiny grocery store, or from 7/11, where the prices are typically 2-3 times higher than in a regular supermarket, where you guys went.
@michaelsrensen2452 ... There is no VAT sales taxes on food in England, while we pay 25%, so this is the main reason food is cheaper in England, unfortunately for the English their wages are also vastly lower on a average, so the English struggle with the price level even with no sales taxes, while food is actually cheaper in Denmark for a Dane in compare with the income level.
@michaelsrensen2452But our wages are much higher, we actually get something for our tax money that helps normal people get better lives. Or Coops aren't insane macho guys who shoot first and asking questions later. You have a good chance of getting a fair trial even if you are not wealthy and you can walk the streets safely in almost all of the country. But you take the trip and live abroad for a few years and the report back. I did. I learned a lot about what was actually valuable to me in my life, and tax rate was not really registering compared to other things. In Texas I only paid 22% tax but felt like I got nothing for it. Had to live in a gated community guarded by rent-a-cop like security to be safe. Paid road toll to use the nice roads. No tax paid dentist for kids so you see a lot of people with butt ugly smiles. And the list goes on. Just my 0.02$
@michaelsrensen2452 Even though you complain about taxes, then removing them would do nothing! The prices are rarely reflective of the actual product but rather the average resident's purchasing power. The proof is in Switzerland where they have little to no taxes and therefore each person has more money. But in return almost everything there costs TWICE as much as they do in Denmark.
@michaelsrensen2452
Our food prices are mainly due to corporate greed, not taxes, there are very few actors in the market and they are exploiting that shamelessly.
@michaelsrensen2452 maybe read up on late stage capitalism..
Salling is the in house brand, for Salling Group, which Føtex is a part of. I would say, that Denmark is a Kim's Chips country 🙂
Yeah. Even if most would say that Taffel is the best brand for potato chips in Denmark.
@@drdewott9154 no one says that
@@justbasic314 9/10 people I've talked to about chips on average have said Taffel is their favorite brand.
@@drdewott9154 Kim's chips was the leader 20 years ago. Now they suck ass compared to Taffel tbh
"you break it, you buy it" does not apply here. the store has insurance and won't force you to pay for something falling off the shelf or even you dropping it walking around
Yeah thats just an american thibg and nasty 3rd world places like vietnam or something...
Føtex is known to be more expensive though🙂 There are discount shops, many of them
Not so much discount these days :P Feels like even Rema1000 and Netto is getting expensive, but yes Føtex is more expensive
Salling is the "overhead" brand for Føtex, Bilka, Netto and so on. Just like in Sweden there is Axfood who owns Willys, Hemköp, Tempo. So the Salling brand can probably present everything from rubberboots to snacks...
Lovely to see a current clip from Denmark, it's been too long since last time I went there. It somehow becomes very, very far away when you move north from Skåne in Sweden.
Copenhagen is simply gorgeous. I went to this supermarket a few times last year. The prices are externally high compared to Germany, it is also cheaper in Sweden. But the Danes also earn correspondingly well. Denmark is absolutely worth a visit.
Well they went to a pretty expensive grocery store.
If you went to Rema1000 or Netto, or discount stores, it would be cheaper than this:)
For lunch many danish people has plain smørrebrød on rye bread, same as the fancy one, but less toppings.
The potatoes in the glass are not pickled- just boiled.
Typically used for making sugar glazed potatoes
6:16 Salling/Salling Group is the store owner, it`s the cheap store brand. Kim`s is the Danes favourite/largest chips company.
6:05 Salling Group is Denmark's largest grocery group with chains such as Føtex, Bilka, Netto, BR and stores in Denmark, Germany and Poland. It competes with another grocery group called Coop that owns the chains suchs as Super Brugsen, Kvickly, Brugsen, 365 Discount and Irma.
the "pickled" potatoes are for making a very danish speciality, caramelized potatos which are served at special occations like christmas diners.
Kender ikke der rigtige ord for vores kartofler I vand.
Pickled, er syltede ting.
Brine, er salt lage.
Men kartoflerne er jo ikke syltede, bare I vand.
Intet ondt ment herfra.
Og biksemad
Og svensk pølseret
Yeah the "pickled potatoes" are just peeled potatoes in water. They are raw - so you will need to boil them before eating 🙂
You should check out Norway if you want to see expensive prices - go grab a couple of beers in the supermarket.
Normal Danish supermarkets have vegetables at the entry - 99%. Just not in certain warehouses.
The yeast used in many, many Lager beers in the world all use the strain of yeast isolated and described by the Carlsberg labs back in the day. the invention of the Ph-scale for measuring the acidity/alkalinity of liquids was also from the Carlsberg labs. :)
All the red prices in Føtexi is a sale price, not the normal prices :)
Boxed wine is a proud Australian invention👍
Another thing to love you for - boxed wine =)
And s big thanks to your down under for that... We call it milking the one tit goat..
We have a very small boat with a very small fridge. And we thank you Australians for the invention
Love your videos. 3:54 Since you ask about if milk needed to be refrigerated since thats whats in cocio here is some info about that.
Cocio, a popular Danish chocolate milk brand, uses sterilized milk in its production. This type of milk undergoes a high-temperature sterilization process, which allows it to be stored without refrigeration until it's opened. The sterilization process ensures that the milk is free from bacteria and other microorganisms that could cause spoilage, making it shelf-stable. This is why Cocio chocolate milk does not need to be refrigerated until after it has been opened.
Yeah commonly labeled as UHT in most of Europe, but in the nordic countries it is rather uncommon with UHT products, chocolate milk like this is one exception.
Here in Sweden in my stores the Cocio is still sold from a fridge.
@@mycide some supermarkets do that in my store they put 1 liter cacao in fridge even if it don’t need to be since people want them cold the same with whipped cream on cans some store put in fridge and some don’t since it don’t need to be refrigerated before after it got open
Feels like it is relevant to also mention it is a three ingredient product! Only milk, sugar, and cocoa. It's also by far the best chocolate milk available:)
@@andersfrandsen7077 and here is where the ingredient come from.
"Milk comes from Danish farmers and fresh milk is delivered to Cocio every day. The sugar comes from either Denmark or Germany and the cocoa is the very best UTZ certified cocoa from Africa."
Sometimes you get fruits and vegetables based on weight here, but since we are used to a price per item, it seems to be a way to gouge people more, because its always noticably more expensive than normal.
At least in my experience.
But visiting Denmark, getting and cooking your own groceries, rather than eating out, is one of the best ways to save money.
Cocio is a Danish chocolate milk.
And probably the best in the world.
What you really need to do is get one when getting a hotdog or a burger.
the different grocery stores have their own budget brands, in your case it was salling in another store it could be called Extra, and so on.
Salling/Føtex is the most expensive of all the stores btw 🙂
6:21 Salling is not actually a brand of chips, it's the store's own brand, which is why they're cheaper, they cut out the middle man, between the manufacturer and the store.
You'll come to find that a lot of different items go under the specific store's own brand, but you'll only be able to find it in a specific store, so most stores will have their own budget products.
Thank you 🩷
Love you guys!! 💞 Looking forward to your next video!!
Xoxo 💞
2:52 no fish
it's leverpostej, made with Liver and fat, the first one got cream added, and second one bacon , or directly translated liver pâté
Leverpostej is a kind of patè, we only call it postej, cause it's a slightly different process. And it's very popular, because nobody likes the taste and texture of liver, so we decided to make it somewhat enjoyable. It is served hot and nearly liquid for a traditional Christmas lunch, with mushroom and bacon (that's where the bacon mix idea came from), on the regular, we consume it cold, with pickles/beetroot, and deep fried onion. And it typically goes on schwartzbrot (rugbrød/rye bread), since it has a more dark and malted taste, that's also great for most cheeses, from the sour brie to gouda to spicy cream cheese, and the stingy blue cheese, and our Danish fish classics: pickled or smoked herring with radish, and makrelsalat, which is just canned mackerel in tomatosauce, with a layer of mayonaise, mixed in, or on top. And for beer, of course. We do eat a lot of seedy schwartzbrot, habitually, in spite of it not being culinarily useful for anything else.
Carlsberg is possibly the best/most balanced PILSNER, in the world. And there's Grøn Tuborg, if you want more bitter hops flavor, also fine, but probably can't contend with the world palette.
Im from Denmark and i really loved this review! 😍
I would have loved to walk through with you guys and explain on the way, you seem like nice peepz - Good travel ♥
Welcome to Denmark/velkommen til Danmark 🎉🎉🎉🎉 (yes im Danish)
Love this. You are an excellent observer, almost spot on every time.
Idk why but i love seeing people visit my country❤
You should try the Cocio chocolatemilk, it's a winner
Tip from a dane: When you buy a hotdog in the street, you should get a cocio along with it
A too refined palette for instant coffee and buying Lays and prefer white bread. I can’t even LOL
Glad to see you guys reaction to ketchup flavoured chips, I love those !
i am from Denmark
the chocolate Milk is only stored in supermarkets/groocer´s outsight coolers(to save energy consumption)
but every person who buys them put them in fridges to get it cold enough to drink later (its also recommended on the bottle "Bør nydes afkølet"/should be enjoyed chilled"
9:14 Fun fact, the most popular brand of instant noodles has historically been the Thai brand Yum Yum
2:01 That chicken + 2:29 pork sandwich I get one of each min. 1 a week
8:19 The potatoes are not pickled, they are often used for making caramelized potatoes especially for christmas.
Leverpostej is not a pate, it's its own thing, and putting it on a cracker would be quite weird, you'll get a lot of funny looks if you do. However Cocio chocolate milk is really good, and if you buy a hotdog at a vendor, do get it with a cocio. Cocio isn't available in that many countries, but a few years ago they began exporting to New England area of the US.
Hvad tror du ordet "postej" kommer af?
Dansk leverpostej er dog normalt noget grovere end normal pate, men du kan købe finerhakkede leverpostej, som du måske mere ville forbinde som pate.
@@tjampman Selvom de har et fælles ophav er de hver især gået i meget forskellige retninger, så nej, de er ikke det samme. Det kunne du måske sige i middelalderen, men den sluttede som du forhåbentlig er bekendt med for et par år siden.
@@vrenak så hvad er det engelske ord for postej?
@@tjampman Pasty eller Pie, men du skal så også huske at briterne har bevaret dejen i deres retter, igen et eksempel på hvordan tingene er gået i hver deres retning. For vores postej har de ikke et ord, og det er helt normalt at forskellige sprog ikke altid har et ord for noget.
@@vrenak ok, jeg tror overgiver mig på den her.
Godt svar.
0:53 - You walked into a Føtex, it's like the middle stop between a regular supermarket and a hypermarket like Bilka or Walmart. It's also quite expensive.
6:18 Salling chips are a private label brand, it's only sold in the Salling Group stores. The big chip names here are KIm's ( Slogan: When you are hungry for fun), they actual started with making Marcipan and is still the best in that game ( Odense Marcipan). The first snacks they made was peanuts name Cock Nuts and they had to add the 's in the name because of cigarets named the same.
The second is Taffel Chips, they are a bit older than Kim's and are kinda the king of holidays, as the salt chips (Taffel Originals) they make are almost a tradition to use during Chrismas and so on. They are great with potatoes and sauce, and have been a thing for 65 years now.
I am Swedish i never visited the other Nordic country's grocery stores kinda interesting but not surprising since i know their habits and espected some similarities.
Both Norway and Sweden are known for having much higher prices on food, and Beer/Alcohol! We do produce much food by ourselves, but as Danish salaries are high, so are the prices. And The Nordic COOP is one of the largest buyers of Coffee in the world, so we generally get "The Good Stuff"!
Higher prices for food in Sweden... don't think so. Norway yes, higher.
@@user-im1kl3xs9r I - honestly can't say that much about Sweden, except that finer wines may be reasonably priced(!), but I have travelled much in Norway, up and down, so at Least I know that food prices are high!
The potatoes aren’t pickled (sorry to disappoint 😂). They’re boiled and stored in water. You drain them and then cook them in a caramel to be served with traditional meat dishes like pork or duck (something fatty) and along side gravy and pickled red cabbage - the same kind you had on your smørrebrød with frikadelle (the meatball one).
Also, you picked a very expensive store by accident. Most Danes get the majority of their shopping from Netto, Lidl and Rema1000 which are cheaper.
8:22 - Grocery store products here are usually insured. If something breaks it's usually an insurance write-off here.
The potato in glass is not pickled, it's just potato water.!
I always use them to make Carameld potato😊
Others use them if they are in a hurry, or just a bit lazy 😅
Generally I would suggest you should check our Lidl or Rema 1000 too. Føtex is one of the most expensive grocery stores in Denmark, while Lidl and Rema 1000 are discount stores.
Love Rema 1000 😮
@@ranikster9955 Is also where I do most of my grocery shopping.
Or Netto
Loved your video. I must say even for some of us Danes, Copenhagen is a very expensive place to visit. Food prices in generel have gone up a lot since the war in Ukrain startet. The sunflower olie and rapse olie (don’t know the English Word for it) used to cost around 8.95 pr liter in Rema before the war in Ukrain. And that’s just an example.
Meny and Føtex are the more expensive stores to go to here. Coop, Netto, Lidli are the more manageable ones. Also you should try finding a local Bazzar where you can get a lot of good stuff from around the world. There is one right next to Rødovre station called Ottoman :) Enjoy your stay and try not to buy sugary stuff, because that stuff is taxed extra here :D
Leverposteg goes on our dark bread known as Rugbrød / Ryebread :)
flaeskesvaer is my favorite danish snack... And polser and... Tuborg Gold beer... They really know how to enjoy life!
P.S You also need to try their smorrebrod... THIS IS A MUST! if you travel to Denmark
The grocery store starts with a big non-food section because Danish law limits the maximum size of a supermarket. So Føtex (short for foodwares and textiles) was invented which is 1/2 a supermarket and 1/2 a non-food market, and only the food part counts against the size limit. I hope you are coming to Aarhus, the second city of Denmark!
As a Dane, this was a very interesting video to watch! 🔥
We need to get a video where you compare the three Nordic countries that you have now visited. What is the same, what is different? We don't really notice all of these small details, I would love to hear how you see us!
Good idea!
... and hopefully they don't mince their words while they are at it, because otherwise the comment section is definitely going to do that for them.
Good topic. Maybe we’ll discuss this on a livestream #JetFam
I live in Sweden. We pay a lot for groceries here.....
Not easy to compare prices becouse the wages and all other costs is quite diffrent between
these are not pickled potatoes. it's small boiled potatoes in water. many use them to make something we call brown potatoes. melt sugar in a frying pan on low heat, when the sugar has melted, add a good piece of butter. when the butter has melted and mixed with the brown sugar, add the potatoes and fry on low heat until they are well browned. eaten with roast pork with good sauce.
Uht milk is milk heated to 135° C for 3-5 seconds, after that all bacts. are gone, and the product can be stored outside the fridge, a little like you can do with butter if you heat it just below boilingpoint for a short time/few minutes.
Fun fact: Salling is their own brand, but they are made in the same factory as the expensive branded products.
Some hotels in Copenhagen have a communal kitchen, like the “Urban House Hostel” in central CPH
Hi guys, if you are missing Indomie nudels you can find it when you go back to Tampere. There is lot of asian stores in Tampere but for you the one across the street from trainstation is probably the most convenient for you and it is second biggest one in Tampere (as far as I know). The store is called Golden Crop.
Is that new place/store? Haven´t noticed that one. I know that what is at Tullintori and other at Kuninkaankatu.
Boxed Wine is actually an Australian invention from back in 1964
The beer is typically half the price you paid for, and that includes Carlsberg. You pay for the cans or the containers, but that's our refund system, so you'll get the money back if you don't waste the bottle or whatever containers you bought.
It's a good way to manage waste products, and some people even use their day collecting empty tins and bottles.
The whole finished chicken is about the same price for the same size raw chicken. And they do a good job.
The reason why it's 4.6% alcohol is that there are 3 tax brackets for beer, and 4.6% is the maximum of the lowest bracket. So they make almost all low alcohol beer to reach 4.6% and keep it cheap 😅
Which is why you see carlsberg being 5% if you go out of Denmark.
2:42 "like a meat paste that you put on a cracker" 😂❤
cheese and onion potato chips is a favorite in uk ,then moved to canada and had to settle for sour cream and onion .
In Germany paprika
in Canada, the lays ketchup is the best!!! It was not the same as the pack we bought in Denmark….
We love our Leverpostej for sure.
Depending on what supermarket you visit and what specific item you need, we do sometimes pay per weight for certain vegetables/fruit and meat.
You totally missed the opportunity to come to Estonia from Finland (there's a ship from Tallinn to Stockholm as well so wouldn't have to go through Finland). Way cheaper than Scandinavian countries but also with a lot of history.
Tallinn is a beautiful great city.
dont worry, if u ever break something inside the store in denmark on accident. they will not hold u accountable or make u pay. just grab ur nearest worker and they will come clean it up in a jiffy ^^
You should've tried our bread. None of it will taste like it does in America. Both Canada and the US use a lot of sugar in their white bread and rye-bread is the best in Denmark.
Another thing you should know about shopping in Denmark is how we generally shop. There are certain products that aren't a problem to buy at any time, but Denmark is very much a discount culture when it comes to purchasing groceries. It's common to follow what discounts there are on different wares and then buy a surplus of XYZ discounted item. The discounts can be huge. As an example I just purchased 4x 1 liter canned soup for 10kr which is normally 35kr each.
7:13 We also have Xtra in Denmark because we also have Coop
Another Dane here, Salling is our most reasonably prized chips, but Kims is our other most beloved brand of chips, just way, way more expensive.
I am wondering how Ivana is feeling? And are her food tastes changing with pregnancy? Mine did! Things I loved previously I could no longer eat or drink… I assume that if she had nausea it was in the first trimester (?), that has passed. Anyway, how is she feeling, lovely Ivana? 🤗
Thanks for asking! Ivana is feeling great! She craves sweets a lot more than usual.
@@JetLagWarriors haven't watched your videos in the past few months. We also have a 1,5 yr old keeping us busy and I didn't know. Felicitari!!!! 🍾
Salling Group owns supermarket chains like Bilka, Netto and the one you were in: Føtex. And then they sell their own brands in those chains.
8:22 Just potatoes in water, really good to fry in a pan.
those picked potatoes, put them on a hot frying pan, and you'll get "brasede kartofler" or direct translate, just pan fried potatoes. very very good! those potatoes with a karbonade, no clue what that would be in english. but super tasty!
That Cocio chocolate milk drink became a staple in Denmark as it was always served with hotdogs in the hotdog stands in the cities back in the days.
our local staple in chips is KIMs.
salling is just a store brand, a pretty alright one, but not the best
we dont rlly eat ryebread bc its healthy, it just tastes amazing
7:30
White bread is a Roman thing and found in any country influenced by them.
Sliced bread is *extremely* unhealthy and is a American thing adopted by others.
Bread already sliced in the store is worse then candy full of preservatives to keep it from molding before you get a chance to eat it, as the slicer will introduce mold and bacteria to the bread.
If you want bread that's actually *food* buy fresh breads and slice them yourself in the store in a bread slicer there and eat it within a week, that way the mold won't have time to do too much damage even without preservatives.
Germany and Scandinavia tenss towards using the whole grain in our breads, including all of the nutrients, and often also using whole seeds etc.
The grain type most used is found in bands going through Scandinavia depending on what grows best locally etc.
Rye, wheat, barley, oats etc are all grown in various areas.
Rye bread is a big thing here in Denmark because of the weather! Where wheat is very dependant on a stable climate, rye isn't! Aaaaand in Denmark the weather is QUITE unstable! ^^
There is also a "copenhagen" tax which makes the prices higher because the shop is in copenhagen
You should check out AirBnb prices again. You can get rooms in Copenhagen below 500 kr/day.
I live in denmark and even i didnt knew about a bicycle parking lot xd
..but it is copenhagen.. so ofc they have. Its more effective than a car
48 for a 6 pack of Carlsberg? I just bought a 6 pack of Carlsberg for 27,- in Rema1000 here in Denmark. Føtex is known for it's high prices. So if you visit Denmark go to a local Rema1000 for cheap beer. Unless you want to buy a 18 pack, then Netto can compete with those prices as well (when on sale).
the pate its for ryebread :D we have a section with meat, fish pates, meet, chicken and so on, so u do your own smørrebrod at home or work, in the older days. .. In school you got it, in your lunchbox. but i dont recommend that
When you say the prices in Denmark are similar to the prices in Sweden, remember the Danish krone is worth much more than the Swedish krona, so 100 DKK is around 150 SEK.
Love from Denmark❤️❤️
First I wants to say thank you for the totally fair and great review of my country, second, if you wants to ask any questions feel free to :) I think I can tell you alot about my little weird country :D
fruit and vegies and that expensive in Denmark, I dont think so, but meat, cheese and such can be.
and you can get cheaper wine its just in another store.. Bilka aint the cheapest, Aldi and Lidl is, I think :)
As a dane i will say this, a lot of the prices you showed are on a discount. But besides that, these mega malls are usually cheaper than smaller grocery stores in smaller towns. We have convenience stores that have peices closer to something you would see in a gas station.
DID U JUST WALK BY A COCIO WITHOUT BUYING IT! :) (remember to shake until the dark chocolate in the bottom disappears) - (not syrup)
What a shame... try one next time, or try one when you order a hotdog in the streets, and let them heat it a bit on top of the bread grill. It's amazing :P
Thanks for a great video!
Leverpostej is a paste, but compared to other countries, it's a very smooth paste.
Yes, we like Rye bread, and darker types of bread, but i do think most people by now, know that it's still not healthy to eat, especially in the amounts it's consumed in by most Danes. So i guess it's mostly flavor and substance it comes down to for us :)
We are DEFINITELY A "KIMS" Chips country, pretty sure 60-70% of the danish population regulary buys Kims if they want chips. -The brand actually started by making a marzipan bar in 1961, and in 63 they made a pack of nuts called "cock-nuts" - Then they changed name from "KiM" to "KiM's" and first later in 1971 the first brick were laid down in the construction of the first factory to make chips under their KiM's brand.
They for sure won the danish population by having some really good TV spots/advertising, and what i guess must have been some of the best pr/marketing employees you could have asked for the next decades. :)
Coffee in Denmark is just bad, if u want the good stuff, most bigger grocery stores have a place where you can fill a bag of beans, then go to the machine and get it grinded.
But mostly we are adopting the American coffee to go from coffee stores / cafe's and so on, in the younger generation. And getting more advanced machines at home to make it.
And naaa... not pickled potatoes, then it would have had "pickled" on the jar :D
But it's used a lot in Denmark with the little peeled ones in salted water, mostly at Christmas, but definitely also the rest of the year (Not the best you can get, but it have it's uses for sure) :P
2:50 did she say fish ? ;D lols. its says fresh delicious with cream. it is liver/fat cooked with different spices. used on bread with some toppings. or as it is on bread alone , if your are in a hurry.
3:49. Wine isn't that common among parties or for the weekend (unless you're a more middle aged person). A lot of Beer, cheap vodka & a few ciders is mostly common. Despite carlsberg being danish, more and more seem to stick with Tuborg, royal or odense (the beer brand). because of how much love we have to beer, some parts of the country you can get a 24 pack beer for about 10 usd (Plus 3,42 usd for the recycling = 13,42 usd). Also, if you think the chips section is massive, you're gonna get mind blown by the candy section. Many stores have a major section of candy, jelly & etc.
That’s funny, I tested yesterday those lay’s ketchup chips and now I hear that it’s canadian thing 😄 I liked those chips a lot 😋
The prices in Denmark are only high when you compare them to other countries, where wages and income are lower. Such as Finland and Sweden
If you take a close look at the price tags the price is also listed pr 100gr/1kg/1L/unit - which makes comparing prices between brands easy.
The Salling brand, and similar in other stores (nearly always found at the bottom of the shelf), is often nearly the same product as the 'Brand' names - Take a look on the back and see where it is made, often it is made at the same place - the difference might be in size, shape and/or a little difference in the recipe.
And the price INCLUDES tax (25% VAT) - so that makes it 'cheaper' compared to the list prices in say USA :ø)
8:25 It's not pickled potatos. It's mostly used to make brown potatos. It's mostly used with a dish called 'Flæskesteg, brune kartofler and rødkål'. Many people eat it as their main course on Chrismas eve. Either that or roast duck. It can be eaten all year round but for the most part it's part of the Chrismas for many danes in one way or another.
Some things are literally half the price in Rema, I hardly ever shop anywhere else.
the potatoes in a jar i would only use if you were making "Brunede kartofler" in a pan, other than that im not sure why you would by them in the glas peeled instead of just some fresh ones more and cheaper.
5:59 the chips bag whit Max on it is also lays
if u can find a place,, go get a "warm cocio", u will never forget it and love it forever.. and if u find a grillshop that has it, then get a roasted sausage with bread with a warm cocio 👌😍❤
Salling is a specific food group that the supermarket you are in is under and it is their local food for their supermarket, you will not be able to buy the product in another supermarket that does not belong to the Salling group.. and that you chose to go into Føtex, which is one of our most expensive supermarkets in Denmark, and then see that the prices are a bit wrong. You could well have chosen other supermarkets in Denmark, which have both 10 and 20% lower prices than Føtex has for the same products.. The Salling group is owned by Mærsk, which is also the world's largest container ship company
