Brand: Carletti Cost: 3 for 10KR Found at: ICA If there’s one thing that I’ve learned about the Scandinavian countries, it is that their relationship can best be described as a sibling rivalry. For the outside observer, they seem to be pretty similar, but in their own eyes, they could not be more different.... Continue Reading →
Brand: Coop Cost: 3 for 25KR Found at: Coop Every supermarket I’ve been to in Sweden or Norway has an aluminum can/plastic bottle recycling machine. It’s easy to use, you just stick your old soda cans into the round opening, a conveyer belt takes it to the scanner, and the machine calculates the refund... Continue Reading →
Brand: GB Glace Cost: 8.95 KR Found At: Coop At parties and dinners, Emil frequently brings up his first visit America and particularly the incident of the ice-cream. Having been there for the incident in question and having now heard it enough times to recite it verbatim, I feel comfortable retelling it now as my... Continue Reading →
Brand: Marabou Cost: 8.95KR Found at: Coop In preparation for my impending move to Scotland, I thought I’d do a little research. And before I launched into the Rick Steve’s Guide to Scotland, I decided to set the tone of the day with a candy bar named “The Scotsman.” And oh boy, if the... Continue Reading →

The kind of thing your friend might order for you at a restaurant just to watch you squirm. And though I love me some raw fish... Continue Reading →
Brand: Lindhals Cost: 20KR Found at: Coop “Oo! Yoghurt!” I said, unaware of the can of worms I was about to open. “No!” said Emil, appalled, “That’s kvarg!

Brand: Cloetta Cost: 7.5KR Found at: Coop You cannot get more classic than this Center bar. Milk chocolate with a smooth caramel filling. Its sweet, its mellow, its exactly what you need in the middle of the day when the blood sugar is getting low. In fact, its very similar to a Plopp bar,... Continue Reading →
Brand: Baba Succo Found at: Coop Cost: 29KR This is a popsicle. That much is clear. There’s no denying that it consists of frozen juice on a stick. But I’m not sure that it knows that. I’ve never tasted anything so unsure of itself as if a desert could have an existential crisis about... Continue Reading →
The only thing as Swedish as a meatball is a cinnamon bun. They are everywhere.
