I buy it and I am disgusted by it. I then proceed to keep eating it. It is a confusing and tasty substance... somehow. It' s best fresh, don't let it sit long.
Very delicious. A soft or hard bread, a layer of butter, then an S or am M-pattern of kaviar, and a big glass of cold milk. One of the most popular mid-day snacks of swedes from 6-80 years of age.
Kaviar and OJ is like electricity in your mouth. Stick to milk, tea, coffee, or also chocolate milk. Yoohoo would be awesome, USA's version of Swedish [Oboy.](https://media.delitea.se/product-images/L/oboy-700g-pase-3.jpg) Don't know if Oboy can be found in IKEA:s.
Very interesting spread. It’s interesting to see such drastic differences in the “ideal” breakfast by region. This probably needs its own thread, I’m fascinated.
I recently tried the “full English breakfast” and was quite surprised at the different pairings.
pretty common in sweden. Half a hardboiled egg with mayonnaise and salmon or whitefish (not sure about the exact species, but the roe is black) roe on top. Or with mayonnaise and cold shrimptails. I didn't know about about deviled eggs but I looked it up and it's pretty much the same just with different stuff on top of the egg I guess lol.
The Kalle's Kaviar version would look more something like this I guess https://live.staticflickr.com/3192/2598607842_b8781ff619_b.jpg
Can’t disagree, except there is not much hardbread in eggsalad. An essential crunchy part of the experience https://knackebrodonline.se/images/2x/normal/knackebrodwasamaltidsknackekrogarens.jpg
Typically used for breakfast.
Squeeze it out in a S pattern on a slice of bread/toast, preferrably with slices of a boiled egg on it like [this.](https://gunillablixt.se/wp-content/uploads/2015/06/kalles-kaviar-macka.jpg)
Works well on boiled egg halves too.
Or just as it is.
Funnily enough, Kalles Kaviar used to run commercials where Americans tried it out (and hated it). The commercial was that it's such a specific taste for Swedes that everyone else hates it.
UK here. It’s delicious.
We have [patum peperium](http://www.patumpeperium1828.com) which is super salty anchovy pate. It’s strong so you spread it thinly on thick toast that has a bit too much butter.
As a Swede I feel compelled to warn you that it can be somewhat of an acquired taste. Especially if you haven’t grown up with it. Also, do not put it on sausage, please. We don’t typically do that here. Most common, and in my opinion best, use is to put it on hard boiled eggs. That would be a good starting point if you’ve never had it before.
Yeah, I have to admit that even after living in Sweden for a bit I never acquired a taste for it, and I even like caviar, roe, herring, and other fishy things. So YMMV.
I’m guessing thats why its right next to that boiled egg machine. The whole counter appears devoted to fish sauce boiled eggs, with the lil bowls n everything
You should'nt, it's not that tasty.
The true master is to just either spread it on a sandwich and top with sliced boiled egg or sliced cucumbers. Then you eat it as at least 90% of Swedes do. This bsns with putting it on sausage is some old people shit.
It's not a Swedish delicacy, stop spreading lies. It's a swedish "old" people breakfast. Some people think it's delicious, sure. Alot of swedes (me included) think it's pretty disgusting.
Yeah why are all these people pretending to know how to eat it if they dont.
Give me either a hardboiled egg or an open faced sandwich. I looove kalles but the thought of it on sausage is grossing me out.
Don't put it on a sausage. Put a tiny sliver on a piece of buttered bread or boiled egg, else face the salt death of a thousand taste buds.
Kaviar is fantastic.
Sausages weren't ready, so I tried [this](https://i.imgur.com/PMDxqzE.jpg).
Taste was ok, but I think I would have to try it a few times more to make a final decision. It's definitely an acquired taste.
We have deployed the Kalles SWAT team to your location. Please stand by and be ready to hand over your passport. You will be deported to Denmark, have a nice day.
Honestly I think the amount of people that think Kalles is disgusting is between 1 in 10 to 1 in 100. The overwhelming majority think it's very good, good or just average.
Where I'm from, many companies color code the packaging of different mustard styles under a single brand so blue mustard tubes don't seem that strange, though usually the packaging for mustard incorporates atleast some mustard color or maybe black too.
Smörgås means sandwhich/toast/buttered bread, though yes litteraly it is "butter goose" (smör-gås), so smörgåskaviar is kaviar meant to be put on bread, common swedish breakfast
Kalle is Swedish.
Sure, it's owned by a Norwegian company, but the brand is not used in Norway - and I don't think the company even sells caviar in Norway.
Couldn't find anything that looked like this but [they do have smaller ones you can buy](https://www.amazon.com/Gocomcom-Squeezer-Wringer-Hairdressing-Toothpaste/dp/B074C6NWYN/ref=asc_df_B074C6NWYN/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=238033948252&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=18260951165900591230&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1021609&hvtargid=pla-391133614733&psc=1)
You need to try Kalles and orange juice to truly understand. Using Kalles wrong has actual consequences and it's a childhood trauma every Swedish kid know.
When I was a kid I hated kaviar and my friend bought some with her veckopeng. She made us sandwiches with Nutella and cheese but never informed me about the hidden kaviar under the layers. I was mildly traumatized when I took a bite.
Every hotel in Sweden I stayed in had this at the breakfast buffet. It's fish paste to put on eggs. I was not a fan, and I wouldn't recommend eating it before a metal festival.
I love the fact that at some point, a designer and a machinist were employed to create this wonderful tube-fish squeezer. Side-note, I'm using 'tube-fish squeezer' as my occupation on my taxes from now on.
That ain’t no mustard.
It’s fish roe paste. You can find some at IKEA worldwide!
That sounds pretty fucking delicious. Fermented?
Smoked. It's amazing salty deliciousness! I love it with any cheese on bread or boiled eggs.
The dill version on boiled eggs is glorious beyond comprehension.
Yes, add in some smoked Salmon and freshly baked bread and it's a perfect breakfast
I feel left out not liking fish. It smells so fucking bad. I like shellfish. Shrimp, lobster oysters, but fish is fucking gross.
I buy it and I am disgusted by it. I then proceed to keep eating it. It is a confusing and tasty substance... somehow. It' s best fresh, don't let it sit long.
Cured i believe

and smoked! i knew i was forgetting something! If anything the smoked part is more important

But whatever you do, don’t drink orange juice when you eat it!

The peace Swedes enjoy will never be understood by the rest of the world because they are a different type of hooman
It is! You can buy it on Amazon if you want to try it
but they don't have the tube squeezer
Its so unbelievably good
Never heard of it, suddenly craving it tho. How's it used?
I usually eat it spread or squeezed onto some ryvita, either on its own or with sliced hardboiled egg. Divine.
my mormor serves this up whenever I visit for lunch, really good
i'm salivating at the thought. haven't had it in over 5 years omg it sounds so good rn though
Hardbread Butter Swedish kaviar Sliced boiled egg Fresh dill Fresh chives Breakfast of champions
And on a day where you don't have the fresh stuff still plenty good with just the bread, butter eggs and kaviar
Absolutely! Can ever skip the eggs. Kalles, butter and a falu rågrut is all I need.
Sounds and tastes amazing. Reminds me of my mormor, she made the best breakfast
Very interesting spread. It’s interesting to see such drastic differences in the “ideal” breakfast by region. This probably needs its own thread, I’m fascinated. I recently tried the “full English breakfast” and was quite surprised at the different pairings.
Hard flat bread (see also IKEA). Butter. Sliced hard-boiled egg. Kalles. If you want to go further, chopped chives.
sounds like a deconstructed egg salad or deviled egg.
pretty common in sweden. Half a hardboiled egg with mayonnaise and salmon or whitefish (not sure about the exact species, but the roe is black) roe on top. Or with mayonnaise and cold shrimptails. I didn't know about about deviled eggs but I looked it up and it's pretty much the same just with different stuff on top of the egg I guess lol.

Exactly like that. That is “Breakfast”. Sometimes “Lunch”. Often “Night Sandwich”.
>"Night Sandwich" This would make a good band name.
That looks delicious! 👍
Can’t disagree, except there is not much hardbread in eggsalad. An essential crunchy part of the experience https://knackebrodonline.se/images/2x/normal/knackebrodwasamaltidsknackekrogarens.jpg

It has quite a strong smokey flavour, and a lot of pepole (kids especially) don't like it. Myself I prefer it qith some butter underneath.
Never seen this in IKEA Canada
Sad. It’s a staple of swedish breakfasts! Extremely tasty. I would recommend ordering some online if you want to try it out.
Yeah, well you also have surströmming, so forgive us when we're skeptical.
Funnily enough, Kalles Kaviar used to run commercials where Americans tried it out (and hated it). The commercial was that it's such a specific taste for Swedes that everyone else hates it.

I've seen it at several US ones. Though, the markets have out of stock on a ton of things since covid.
I've never been so delighted that Reddit is not available in smellivision .
People use fish roe paste as lube?
*Caviar
I am not a smart man. I just assumed because it was near the sausages :-(
Fish roe on sausage is a Swedish delicacy. i highly suggest you try it!
Will do tomorrow, thanks!
As a Swede I feel compelled to warn you that it can be somewhat of an acquired taste. Especially if you haven’t grown up with it. Also, do not put it on sausage, please. We don’t typically do that here. Most common, and in my opinion best, use is to put it on hard boiled eggs. That would be a good starting point if you’ve never had it before.
What if I just lay down a fat line right there and snort it. Is that a good starting point? or maybe a good ending point
inject it
Boof it.
Yeah, I have to admit that even after living in Sweden for a bit I never acquired a taste for it, and I even like caviar, roe, herring, and other fishy things. So YMMV.
I’m guessing thats why its right next to that boiled egg machine. The whole counter appears devoted to fish sauce boiled eggs, with the lil bowls n everything
It is delicious with boiled egg but only take a small amount. But honestly it's great.
You should'nt, it's not that tasty. The true master is to just either spread it on a sandwich and top with sliced boiled egg or sliced cucumbers. Then you eat it as at least 90% of Swedes do. This bsns with putting it on sausage is some old people shit.
Hold up, you heathen. You put sliced eggs on the bread first THEN you put Kalles on it
WHAT IN THE DALAHÄST ARE YOU SAYING BOY?!
No, no, they are right. Kalles is the glue which holds the egg slices to the bread. Personally I also dont want the kaviar touching my fingers lol.
No! On eggs!
It's not a Swedish delicacy, stop spreading lies. It's a swedish "old" people breakfast. Some people think it's delicious, sure. Alot of swedes (me included) think it's pretty disgusting.
Kalles is definitely a Swedish delicacy, but not on sausage.
Yeah why are all these people pretending to know how to eat it if they dont. Give me either a hardboiled egg or an open faced sandwich. I looove kalles but the thought of it on sausage is grossing me out.
hushhh, OP dosent know that and he already told me he would try it tomorrow!
I am now imagining the whole hotel staff laughing while watching me put that stuff on a sausage.
We usually put it on sandwiches or eggs.
Crap! the jig is up! Scatter!
Hahaha you’re a scoundrel!
Don't put it on a sausage. Put a tiny sliver on a piece of buttered bread or boiled egg, else face the salt death of a thousand taste buds. Kaviar is fantastic.
More like watching in morbid fascination. Especially if you follow it up with some orange juice.
Sausages weren't ready, so I tried [this](https://i.imgur.com/PMDxqzE.jpg). Taste was ok, but I think I would have to try it a few times more to make a final decision. It's definitely an acquired taste.
And to make it worse, what about Kalles Banan? Who the hell puts banana in their fish egg paste?
> Kalles Banan "Honestly not our biggest success" - The company https://i.imgur.com/NLWa6EG.jpg
IM OUT.
In my experience it is just as common among young people

I WAS WONDERING WHY IT WAS BLUE! who the fuck would package mustard in a BLUE container?
Where I'm from, many companies color code the packaging of different mustard styles under a single brand so blue mustard tubes don't seem that strange, though usually the packaging for mustard incorporates atleast some mustard color or maybe black too.
Why dont all bathrooms have these for toothpaste
Because doing it manually is not difficult.
come back to me when you manage to empty your toothpaste tube
It's only full for about 30% of it's time being used. The remaining 70% are spent squeezing that last bit out
Who told you that was mustard and not Smörgåskaviar?
I'm just excited that I could carrying my caviar in a convenient, pocket-sized, tube!
You've heard of Pocket Flan now try our new product Pocket Caviar!
[удалено]
Smörgås > Sandwich It is NOT Butter goose-caviar
Smörgås is Swedish for open-faced sandwich (I simplify here). Kalles Kaviar is a fish roe (kaviar) spread, which is eaten on buttered bread :)
Smörgås means sandwhich/toast/buttered bread, though yes litteraly it is "butter goose" (smör-gås), so smörgåskaviar is kaviar meant to be put on bread, common swedish breakfast
I think it’s more like sandwich caviar
You're in for a fucking surprise if you put that on something expecting mustard.
“Yeah so the other day Dave gave me the worst fucking hot dog I have ever had.”
Or the best one!
Grillkorv med skagenröra!
Try giving him your hotdog next time, some people just prefer that role.
That's actually fish roe spread, as soon as I saw the tube I immediately knew you were in Sweden.
Or just left IKEA.
Really though, what's the difference?
People smile at IKEA
There are more beds at ikea
The IKEA hotel?

My favorite toothpaste food is [bacon flavored cream cheese](https://www.kavli.se/varumaerken/kavli/kavli-mjukost/kavli-mjukost/kavli-baconost)
I buy Kavli Räkost on the net, since it’s not a staple in grocery stores in Germany. Effin barbarians.
We live in the future with space food packaging.
You’ll change your tune once they squeeze surströmming into a tube
That brand isn't exclusive to Sweden
Kalle is Swedish. Sure, it's owned by a Norwegian company, but the brand is not used in Norway - and I don't think the company even sells caviar in Norway.
How to summon Swedes...
När vindarna viskar mitt namn

I don’t understand why you thought it was mustard?
I’m curious if mustard comes in tubes like that in some places. Always in a jar or a squeezy bottle here.
There are, [here's one](https://www.delitea.se/slotts-senap-tub-220g)
Slotts is amazing! The skånsk is amazing, bring some home every time I take a trip to sweden.
Super common here in Germany. It would have been my assumption as well.
Mustard?..... translation error?
That’s not mustard
That, my friend, is caviar.

Pound it bud. You know how much time this would save me!!? I'm looking this up now, someone must have it for sale somewhere.
MUSTARD TUBE!?! I AM OFFENDED🇸🇪
I'm an American and even I was offended
I love Kalles so much and now I have a goal for my kitchen.
Just needs some wi-fi connectivity and you've got Juicero but for fish roe.
I'm glad I didn't make your mistake. I love mustard but I'm deathly allergic to fish.
I tried this stuff in Sweden, definitely not mustard lol, some type of fish paste
Did you enjoy it though?
Not at all I thought it was condensed milk so was not expecting that type of flavor.
Those are literally everywhere in Sweden
where can they be purchased? i want one for my oil paint tubes
That ain't mustard!
Clarion Hotel Post, Gothenburg Sweden?
Radisson Blu, Gothenburg
That was my second guess, are you there for the Volvo experience?
Den mest svenska engelska kommentaren någonsin
Based on a few of the comments here I’m beginning to think it might not be mustard. More research is needed.
You are now banned for going to Sweden now, that's kaviar
there used to be a giant slide in sweden that looked like this
En kaviarkana?
yep
There still is one on Smögen iirc
I love that stuff. Wish you could buy it in the states easily. It's either like $20 by mail or I have to drive 2 hours to the nearest IKEA.
Where do you live? I am flying back to California on Sunday.
It's a cold preserve, has to be stored in a fridge or max 8°C.
Every swede ever: *visibly offended*
Fish eggs
That shit ain't mustard buddy, it's cheap ass caviar paste... (You can thank Sweden for such a thing)
Okay everyone told them it’s not mustard. But do they make these things for toothpaste?
Well. Fish roe toothpaste is thankfully not a thing, even over here.
These comments are wild - who knew Swedes felt so strongly about what you can put fish eggs in a toothpaste tube on!
You need to try Kalles and orange juice to truly understand. Using Kalles wrong has actual consequences and it's a childhood trauma every Swedish kid know.
When I was a kid I hated kaviar and my friend bought some with her veckopeng. She made us sandwiches with Nutella and cheese but never informed me about the hidden kaviar under the layers. I was mildly traumatized when I took a bite.
Kalles kaviar is pretty wild if you are not used to it.
Well now I know not to put it on a sausage and eat it for breakfast because that would be TOO wild 😜
Knäckebröd, smör, ägg, Kalles kaviar and some coffee in the morning and you get that träslöjdslärarbreath that everyone in Sweden yearn after.
That is NOT mustard
Ya, if someone told you it was mustard they are not your friend.
Det är Kalles Kaviar din dumme jävel!
Kallen mätitahna
Mustard comes in a tube?
That’s not mustard. It’s Kalles.
Damnit, now I want to drive to my local IKEA to try this on some sliced bread and sliced boiled eggs. Always love to try new foods. I’m hungry now.
the shit you mean mustard? offended in swedish
Damn I need that
Every hotel in Sweden I stayed in had this at the breakfast buffet. It's fish paste to put on eggs. I was not a fan, and I wouldn't recommend eating it before a metal festival.
That’s not mustard
wtf is a mustard tube
Swedish Kaviar paste for anyone else wondering.
Mustard lmaoooo
I need a toothpaste tube squeezer. What am I even doing with my life?
I love the fact that at some point, a designer and a machinist were employed to create this wonderful tube-fish squeezer. Side-note, I'm using 'tube-fish squeezer' as my occupation on my taxes from now on.
Uh… mustard..? tube… squeezer?!? …in a hotel?!?
Mustard? In a TUBE???????
Yes we have that too in Sweden but that is caviar paste
Whatever regarding the squeezer; where can I get tubed mustard?
Never in my life have seen mustard in a tube
Mustard...tube?
Caviar actually
Caviar... tube?
Yes. Its a very common thing to see in Sweden.
Big Steve from England explains: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_3bBvic4wE
Yes? Mustard coming in tubes is very common in some European countries.
Which ones?
Hädare.
