After the preview, really excited for this one.
My cousins are in Stockholm and my Aunt, a native of Sweden, in Alvesta.
Definitely spotted some familiar transport stops in Stockholm and what looked like some boating through Archipelago?
My family generally knows nothing about golf but will be stoked to see Sweden featured in something like this. 
Also, if anyone is thinking of making it to Stockholm some time soon, feel free to ping me. My cousin works at Hotel KungstrĂ€dgĂ„rden (speaks English and Swedish) and Iâm sure would be willing to help anyone traveling to that area of the world.

Every refuge thread devolves eventually into a discussion about food. With that in mind, and apropos of nothing (oh, a few stills and bits from
the trailer on the crayfish boat and at the restaurant in Gotland), I remember the food in Sweden fondly from my year there and I always look forward to it when Iâve returned since. For those planning to visit in the future, here are some favourites (though some are seasonal and not always available), in no particular:
(1) Kanalbulle (cinnamon bun) - has a legitimate claim to the title for Swedenâs national food. It is eaten everywhere, every morning and afternoon and evening for Fika (anytime you have coffee and cake with friends and family - which is often). The Kardemummbulle is not as sweet as the Kanal, but is lightly spiced and more like a pull apart bread. I preferred the cardamum version with my 6 coffees a day.
(2) Pizza-salad - this is a sweet/sour cabbage salad served with pizza in a small bowl. Weird, I know! Some tip it out on the middle of their pizza, others sprinkle it over the top and others eat it separately, like a normal salad. I loved it dumped on top. Itâs unlikely youâll find pizzasallade in newer Italian wood fired pizza places or more fashionable haunts (other than perhaps being served ironically).
(3). Cheese - most households will have a fairly large round of mild semi-hard cheese in their fridge. Thin slices peeled off and placed on hard bread coated with marmalade were my fav for breakfast. Hard bread (knakerbrod) is a staple seen everywhere. Just watch how the locals eat it.
(4) Nyponsoppa (rose hip soup) or Blabar soppa (blueberry soup) - are hot or cold soups usually eaten for breakfast but can be eaten at anytime of the day. Served with vanilla cream and a crispy biscuit, they are incredible. It can also be found served as a hot drink like hot chocolate (eg at ski-resorts).
(5) Semla - the ultimate pre lent pastry: a brioche type bun(but less sweet, sometimes spiced with cardamom) filled with almond paste, a little milk and whipped cream. Avoid if you donât like marzipan. Sometimes it is served in hot milk, though I never had it that way. Shrove Tuesday is known as âFat Tuesdayâ in Sweden, which I thought was kinda cute.
(6) Falukorv - itâs like a massive hot dog sausage and is served pan fried in slices with macaroni M, sweet mustard and ketchup. Fantastic post school meal.
(7) Pyttipanna - this is a type of hash of fried potatoes, onions, bacon/ham/sausage, mixed with gherkins and pickled beetroot served with a fried egg on top. It sounds incredible and it is incredible.
Last one, I promise:
(8) the seafood (other than Lutfisk and Syrstromming) - itâs everywhere, prawns, shrimp, salmon, crayfish, herring (pickled or fried), mackerel. Every-which way. Gravadlax on hard bread with more of the dill sauce though is hard to beat.

Am I crazy or is this Alex Noren? Did he also come at @Soly for all his takes about him in the past?

Definitely Alex Noren. They mentioned him on one of the recent pods this past week, canât remember which one it was, but they came away absolutely loving the guy and being all in on him going forward.
Looking forward to his involvement and getting to know more about him

I think Copenhagen was the most surprising city I visited in that area of the world. It just had so much to offer. Culture, architecture, itsâ proximity to some truly breath taking terrain and the ease to which you can branch out and travel elsewhere. I donât know if you caught this outside the train station but I still think about the bike racks near the city center way more than I should.

Trailer is fire!
I basically lived on pyttipanna for two years. So easy and good. I was also a MASSIVE fan on kebab pizzas with fries on top. Obviously not a Swedish dish, but incredible nonetheless.

No bigger eye roll from my wife than the annual Tourist Sauce trailer âYou NEED to see thisâ hype from yours truly. We are a sick group.

We were bouncing around YT channels tonight and I played the trailer
She immediately dropped her phone when she heard Cant keep my eyes off of you and was locked in.
Her: These guys are good

Iâm so amped about this, Iâve already scheduled the baghdad watch party in my TOC and invited my whole crew to join me.

Might need a livestream of this alongside the premier.
thereâs gotta be a baghdad equivalent of a drinking game, right? Like everytime Neil says âwe like thatâ everyone fires their AK-47âs into the air? And an RPG for Big Left Miss?

There are rpgs aplenty out here in the green zone. Maybe our friends get their hands on some for us.
