Just the simple farmer life for me
Ain't about the size it's about how you use it
[Eric]: Good morning adventurers. [Allison]: Good morning!
So if you caught our last video we drove to a place that's about an hour north of
Gothenburg here in Sweden a town called The Corner
[Eric]: Is that how you say it? [Allison]: Yes!
[Allison]: I think so, yeah.
We were going to head into Gothenburg, but we found out that they're doing a farmers' festival
Something like that. Our host said..
If you're looking for something to do there's the thing. He said it was called a farmers day
basically
I think what it is is like a two-day farming festival with an emphasis on kind of like a strongman
competition but a strong farmer competition? I don't know.
Well, we've strolled around a bit and they have all kinds of little exhibits with different farmer's tools bunch of different stalls with some different type of food.
They have horses roaming around everywhere.
Yeah, little crafts.
Lots and lots of horses and tractors and things like that.
Basically everyone in the area is out here today
There are so many cars, so many people it's crazy
I'm so glad he recommended this. I think we're gonna have a good old time here
We'll just hang out here for a little bit and see what's going on
Hopefully, we can catch some of the competitions and then we will head down to Gothenburg
Which is just about an hour drive to get some delicious street food
My god, they're so many dogs here. So like my heart is gonna explode.
Yeah, big ones small ones a lot of horses, too
Bye!
We found an area where they have these huge bunnies and they're spinning their fur
They're cutting them over there to shearing
They're cutting them over there and then spinning it and making all of this knitwork with I think their angora.
I've heard of that as the sweater type
I guess that's the rabbit type as well.
They are epically furry too and so cool-looking.
So from what we can gather
Apparently, this competition is a horse pulling a log and who can do it best? I'm not really sure
Yeah
I guess they guide the horse guys through
What the guys do, there's a bunch of I'm assuming judges following to see how they maneuver?
It's a bit too much excitement for me, though
I know. We might need a break after this one.
This is super neat it's a tent that sits on top of your truck
Oh, it's super sturdy, too. And they even have the little hanging racks for your shoes.
That's well thought out.
Yeah, it's really spacious and you get off the ground. I never would have thought of that - tent on a car
That's how I wanna camp from now on.
Instead of on the ground with all the creepy crawlies
[motor sound]
[rock music playing]
Well, that was the coolest thing that I've seen here
Some guy was on a dirt bike doing tricks like - like you would on a BMX bike
Yeah, just off and all over the place.
But I didn't even know that that was the thing. That thing must be really heavy. That's pretty impressive.
He made it look light as a feather
It was really cool.
Our new obsession is olives. Eric recently found out that he liked them
I liked them all my life, but now that he really likes them. It's our go-to snack
We've been putting them in pasta and everything
But this little stand had all of these I think they're all organic and they do their own seasoning and the guy is Greek
That's a good sign.
Pretty authentic. Yeah, I think we're gonna try to maybe get a couple more goodies and then hit the road
You get 3 for 50
Oh, okay.
If you want I can recommend this one
It's uh, lime
Okay, perfect
It'll be good.
All right, we have olives to snack on on our drive
We have some licorice that we got which you got to get that in Sweden
You guys saw what happened last time we tried licorice though
[Eric is choking] Oh my god
It's like eating baking soda. That's edible?
We got no salted flavors, I think we got like a sour one.
We're gonna hit the road and head down to Gothenburg
[background music]
We have arrived in Gothenburg, it's a pretty nice drive got to go through some more of the Swedish countryside, which is awesome
Very beautiful the woods here are pristine
There was actually a food truck that we want to eat at here in the city that is right over here
And it is open just for one more hour. We're popping in I'm very excited for this. I don't think it's what you think it'll be
Unless you looked at the thumbnail and then you already...know what it is.
[background music]
Check this out.
You think they're big enough for ya?
Definitely not I need about double this size
They are called...I think Tunnbrödsrulle?
Basically what it means is Tunnbröd is thin bread
So it's kind of like a tortilla like a really thin wrap. This looks more like a tortilla than I was expecting
I think they can kind of look a little bit different. But what makes these so special is it's a sausage and mashed potatoes
In the wrap is the classic way and then as you can see these ones have quite a bit more stuff
There are some lingonberries in there and a bunch of salad, I think? So it's like a whole meal in a wrap
I don't know if we've ever had mashed potatoes in a wrap before.
Definitely not.
But look how cool this is you could also get it as like a plate if you didn't want it or I think on bread
I don't even know how to begin to eat this cuz it's just gonna be all tortilla
I feel like I need to peel the tortilla back. Whatever. I'm just gonna go for it
[crunch sound]
Oh my god
Did that just squirt out?
It squirted all the way over here to me.
(laughs)
[crunch sound]
That's a plum sausage. It says over there that their bangers are from Britain and they taste like delicious British sausage to me
I didn't really get into the other stuff in there cuz it's all tortilla the first couple bites
See if I can get a bite with all this good stuff in there the potatoes and the berries
[crunch sound]
Mmm.. Mmmm-mmm...
Much better bite.
Pretty good. It's very satisfying. It's like a feast.
Cuz you have the meat you got the potatoes
You got a little bit of salad to keep it a little bit healthy, and then you got the tanginess from the berries
It's like Thanksgiving dinner, basically.
I'm gonna preemptively take off some of this wrap because it's
Still hard to get down to the goodness.
That's a much better idea
Definitely very interesting. That sausage is super flavorful. Usually the pale ones, I'm always scared they're gonna be bland but
it's really nice. It's got a lot of
Seasoning and herbs and spices in there. You're right. The berries are a nice little burst of tartness and sweetness
These are little pickled cucumbers on there
But like sweet pickled. All the flavors go really well together - the savory and the sweet
I think the berries are a good call because they
That's what makes it interesting because without that I think it'd be a little bland.
Yeah as you eat it down. You definitely get more
Mixing of all the flavors. It's just so good and they put these crunchy little crispy onions in there
The sausage is definitely like the most flavorful part. But if you get a bite without any sausage, it's almost just as good.
It really is like
Leftovers from a dinner all wrapped into a wrap. We haven't officially tried meatballs here yet
We are saving it but it should look similar to this, kind of. It should have I think all these components but be meatballs instead
Of sausage, and maybe the bread will be on the side, but I think it's gonna have mashed potatoes and the little berries
So I'm excited to try that
[background music]
We're just taking a stroll through this park that's right in the middle of Gothenburg called
Trädgårdsföreningen
As you can hear it's right in the middle of the city
Yes it is.
It's a 19th century park. And as you stroll through it's like you immediately exit the city
So it's as cool that it's just a solemn place right in the middle of all the hustle and bustle
it's also surrounded by a bunch of flowers and roses and...
It's extremely well-kept too.
All of the paths are beautiful and all of the flowers. There are so many little
Arrangements everywhere and this I guess it's like a little maze area
That's why I stopped because I don't know where we're going, but they also have this palm house over here
That is a really cool looking structure and it looks to be full of a bunch of palms
And I think it's free to enter so I think that's where we are gonna be headed
Let's see what this palm house is all about
Just kidding it's freakin closed it closed ten minutes ago
Son of a beef. We're just walking around the park enjoying the day.
Yeah, and we missed it
Dang it.
Well, I guess that's - there's only one thing we can do now.
Have a fika.
Yes.
[background music]
We've walked - taking a quick walk over to the area called Haga which is as you can see the cosy shopping and fika area since 1648
I think this street is called Haga but so is this area and it has a bunch of coffee shops, cool boutique shops,
vegan shops, a lot of yummy cafes with cinnamon rolls
Which is what we are about to try but it's just known for - it has the old wooden buildings that are pretty traditional
Dating back centuries, so it's really well preserved but really cool and hip.
All right, less talking, more...
Fika-ing!
Fika-ing, is that a word?
I guess no.
The cafe is right here. Let's go get some cinnamon rolls.
Oh my gosh, look at this cinnamon roll, just kidding. They're sold out.
What a fail.
Place known for cinnamon rolls...
is sold out of cinnamon rolls.
So much for drowning our tears in the dang fika
Now we're gonna drown even more tears look like a river of tears we have to drown now.
Seriously though, we were pretty sad about that
You guys there's - they're known for these giant cinnamon rolls that are apparently really good like some of the best in the world
So we decided to come here and try it
But now I'm sad because we didn't get to try them
Well, learn from our mistake and come way early. Be first in line even and then you're probably guarantee the cinnamon roll
well, we decided to call it a day because we were just having one fail after another and
You know behind the scenes that sometimes it just gets frustrating when you're out and you've planned this day and you have this stuff you
Really excited about and then you go there and it doesn't work out for whatever reason
So we're just like - we're just both in an annoyed mood.
Sometimes you can salvage it.
Sometimes you just can't. So the fika might have been a fail, but I know something that won't be
The hard stuff.
Cheers
[clink]
To a day.
But we almost forgot that uh, we haven't tried our licorice yet that we got at that little farmers festival earlier
Which was awesome, by the way, that was the highlight of the day for us.
That was so much fun
We have one that is I think he described it as pear lime. It's so I'm most excited about that one
I'm gonna take that. Well, it smells really good. Smells very citrusy. Look at this thing. It's heavy. It feels like a snake.
Yeah, I know right? It's really like slinky.
It's also got some filling on the inside that kind of runs through it
So I think it's gonna have a little burst of flavor
Yeah, and I'll try the rainbow one cuz he said that this one was a really popular one
I don't know if it was it a flavor. Was it just right?
I think it was just a bunch of flavors.
Okay
Okay. Cheers.
We gotta eat it quick because we're losing our natural light in the room.
No, is that a big of a bite whoa Wow, whoa
Oohweeh!
That's delicious.
This is delicious.
Oh my god, that's so much better. I thought it was gonna be. Wow
This takes me back to being a kid and going to the movie theater. Oh my gosh.
I absolutely love this
I'm trying to think of how to describe it when you bite it till you just get this burst of
Fruitiness and citrusy-ness and is citrusy-ness a word? I don't know about that.
It does - it taste like a rainbow, confirmed. It like a fruity rainbow.
All right, we better wrap this up. I'm actually
monitoring the video here and I can see that it's getting really dark.
The day started off strong
then kind of wasn't very strong and then I think we finished strong with the licorice because
We were expecting that it was just gonna be really comedic to watch us squirm when we're eating it
This is actually delicious.
This is this so good. I definitely understand
We've been seeing licorice and all the grocery stores and everything huge like crazy flavors. So y'all are onto something
It's really good.
So tomorrow we have something - really special plan. We're gonna make a stop at this
car graveyard
I saw pictures of it online. I was like, wow, this is really weird. It's way out of the way and
There's just some really interesting stuff though that we want to show you guys
Well, we are going to eat our we're gonna eat all of this tonight. Yep. Hopefully we save some for the burger
But anyway, sorry that's that's all that's all for tonight.
All right, good night adventurers.
We'll see you on the road.
