Warning, Kalles Kaviar actually contains sugar and lots of it. It's horrible, and I'm swedish. They actually make ads on the TV with people from other cultures trying to eat it. It's not as bad as surströmming but ew...

12% sugar isn't that bad given that you don't use much. Messmör, on the other hand, is something that should be avoided.

I can believe they have those ads!

To be fair, though: My spouse, the resident Norwegian, really likes it. Soetimes with a sliced, hard-boiled egg. But he's also been eating it since he was a child as it is a cheap and easy thing to make children. It is more akin to American children with peanut butter.

I, however, being the import to Norway, find it fairly disgusting.

As a Norwegian, I agree with you it's disgusting.

Dare I ask your opinion of Matjes?

That said, I've heard a some dissent from younger swedes about surströmming but not about Kalles heh.

> American deli-style sandwiches where there is more filling than bread are not a thing in Scandinavia

Denmark disagrees with you https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sm%C3%B8rrebr%C3%B8d

Yes I'm European as well. Still seems like an extremely hefty sandwich from the video...

British slices of bread are usually far larger than Norwegian ones.

Its an incredibly small sandwich.

I love Kalles! I've eaten it since I was a kid.

I make regular trips to IKEA just to buy it, apparently they're one of the US's largest importers of Swedish food.

But yes, its very different than what most Americans think of Caviar; This is very much un-fancy.

> IKEA

Also, gooseberry jam.

The filling is not what adds to the calories though, it's the bread.
