Nordic Food Secrets: Cod Farms, Swedish Meatballs & Salty Licorice Explained

Discover the secrets of Nordic cuisine as Food Unwrapped explores Norway, Sweden, and Finland - from cod farms to cinnamon buns and salty licorice! Join us on an unforgettable Food Unwrapped adventure across the stunning landscapes of northern Europe. We kick things off in Norway, uncovering the fascinating story behind the world's largest cod farm and why cod farming is finally working after decades of failure. Then, it's on to Sweden to reveal the surprising origins and perfect roundness of Swedish meatballs, and to solve the mystery behind cinnamon buns that never unravel. We even take a detour to the Disgusting Food Museum for some truly bizarre Nordic delicacies, including fermented shark and the infamous "beaver anus juice." Our Nordic journey wraps up in Finland, where we discover why Finns are obsessed with salty licorice (salmiakki), and get a behind-the-scenes look at how this unique treat is made. Along the way, we answer burning questions like: What makes a meatball Swedish? How do you stop a cinnamon bun from falling apart? And what exactly is ammonium chloride doing in your candy?
