  • Thank God you started working with these techniques and learning about it.

  • Then there's so much to learn.

  • And I'm only 40 years old and I only have 40 more years, maybe 50 years to do this.

  • And that stresses me.

  • Wanted the cooking to be very wrist EQ and very old style.

  • But then I wanted the experience in the dining room to be more contemporary and more restaurant.

  • Where do you want me?

  • This may be sitting right there.

  • So if we can enjoy the last remaining of light in here, it's gonna be more vitamin D.

  • Every conqueror King went turkey and brought with him the rest.

  • Yeah, I mean, it's very debated with the historians, which King actually boarded to speculating.

  • But in the recipe from from Turkey and then I'm guessing, like adopts it becomes it becomes Swedish people are very conservative.

  • When it comes to me and say nothing.

  • You play around the subject.

  • Yes, very touchy.

  • Ever be very bad to have me in the kitchen on the subject.

  • It's a little bit like the Italians are towards tortellini.

  • What are lingonberry prove is yes, I know there is, Yes, so they grow in the forest like rember the meatball might be rich, creamy, and then you need a bit of Ah, I'm starving.

  • I've got everything set up for radio that's really two times beef, one time pork, one time deal cream and bread crumbs set for an hour.

  • One night cooked onion, at least to make shows with Yes, Oh, in Sweden.

  • If you add a lot off close, it's more Christmas style.

  • Old Spice is common to use, not make.

  • It's also very common.

  • You always grind that's best, always wooden spoon, and it's really important.

  • I'll show you later, so I'm not gonna ask any pushing now like that later.

  • It's a cliffhanger.

  • Gentle old, no mark.

  • Quicker like a machine.

  • I'm guessing people do this with, like a stand mixer know makes it so you really do Feli.

  • Yeah, difficult to cook meatballs for Swedish people because no matter how you do them gonna be wrong like my mother's recipe of my grandmother's recipe.

  • Or so that's the big difference between any other meatballs and the Swedish meatballs.

  • It's more like a I like you, but it definitely different, more different than an Italian middle they usually mix.

  • But not that extends way of getting that we're getting wrap it around a little bit.

  • I can feel the texture.

  • Yeah, I feel much more like a potato and then, yeah, classic, meet your mixture that I'm used to this size.

  • Let's decide.

  • It's gonna It's gonna shrink a little bit.

  • Yeah, okay, that's a nice way to shape the meatballs because usually at my place, the way I would do this, I would shape them like this.

  • But in one hand, it is just like it's great Swedish, too.

  • So that's a very important point.

  • Thank you so much for So how do you pronounce this?

  • I say, Could you do shut shit bulla taxation without somebody?

  • Nobody's gonna know what I'm talking about.

  • These out of doors we have made.

  • I mean, I did most of the job as you probably so the most intriguing once, but it before they come from a little irregular.

  • Because, of course, meat bolts is the most prefabricated thing in Swedish cooking.

  • I mean, I mean, most households in Sweden today don't make their own meat boats by the process.

  • Machine made in their perfect shape experience.

  • But if they little this shape a little irregular.

  • Yeah, exactly.
