In the Munchies Guide to Sweden, host Ivar Berglin explores the culinary offerings of Europe’s emerging culinary star. From reindeer to fermented herring, Ivar explores the dishes that define his nation and discover how a fresh culinary approach, New Nordic Cuisine, is shaping the future.

In our opening episode, Ivar travels to Goteborg, Sweden’s fish capital, to put together a Swedish smörgâsbord with catch fresh from the sea. Then he tries one of Sweden’s weirdest dishes, surströmming – fermented herring. Ivar’s day finishes in Lysekil where he meets two fishermen who harvest Swedish oysters before eating the freshest possible shellfish on a secluded island.
