0:00:07 > 0:00:09'doing what we love most.
0:00:09 > 0:00:12'Biking and cooking.'
0:00:12 > 0:00:13Look at that.
0:00:13 > 0:00:15'And it's going to be epic.
0:00:15 > 0:00:18'This time, were heading the furthest north we've ever been.'
0:00:18 > 0:00:20We're in the Arctic Circle!
0:00:20 > 0:00:22'In search of exciting food
0:00:22 > 0:00:25'and some of the most unexplored places in Europe.'
0:00:25 > 0:00:27Oh, it's glorious!
0:00:28 > 0:00:33'Our route will take us 2,500 miles round the Baltic Sea.
0:00:33 > 0:00:35'Kicking off in Poland, then travelling
0:00:35 > 0:00:38'through the trio of Baltic states to Russia.
0:00:38 > 0:00:40'Russia!
0:00:40 > 0:00:43'Then across to Finland and north to south through Sweden.
0:00:44 > 0:00:50'To understand the food, we must expose ourselves to the elements,
0:00:50 > 0:00:52'experience life on the wild side...'
0:00:52 > 0:00:55I am a Viking!
0:00:55 > 0:00:57'..and test our mettle to the max.'
0:00:57 > 0:00:59- Hey, it's cold!- It's the Baltic, isn't it?
0:00:59 > 0:01:01'I'm expecting vast forests...'
0:01:01 > 0:01:02BOTH: Skal!
0:01:02 > 0:01:03'..sparkling lakes...'
0:01:03 > 0:01:05BOTH: Wow!
0:01:05 > 0:01:07'..and incredible biking roads.'
0:01:07 > 0:01:09Look at that!
0:01:09 > 0:01:12'There will be hearty home cooking as well as cutting-edge cuisine.'
0:01:12 > 0:01:13That's spot on.
0:01:13 > 0:01:16'And hopefully a warm welcome.'
0:01:17 > 0:01:19'After all,
0:01:19 > 0:01:22'these people are our northern neighbours.
0:01:22 > 0:01:26'And it's time we got to know them better.
0:01:26 > 0:01:29'Our lives are never going to be the same again after
0:01:29 > 0:01:30'we taste this sausage.'
0:01:30 > 0:01:32Cheers, mate!
0:01:39 > 0:01:42Oh, Kingy, we've never been this far north before.
0:01:42 > 0:01:44We haven't, dude! Land of the Vikings!
0:01:44 > 0:01:46Flatpack furniture.
0:01:46 > 0:01:47Pickled herring.
0:01:47 > 0:01:48Abba!
0:01:48 > 0:01:50Volvos.
0:01:50 > 0:01:52And some say the best food in the world.
0:01:52 > 0:01:56We are here in Sweden!
0:02:00 > 0:02:02Sweden is huge.
0:02:02 > 0:02:04Twice the size of good old Blighty.
0:02:04 > 0:02:07So to do it justice, we are splitting it in two.
0:02:07 > 0:02:10We're starting in the north. In Lapland, to be exact.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13From the picturesque town of Jokkmokk...
0:02:13 > 0:02:16..we travel to Sweden's largest national park.
0:02:16 > 0:02:20Before backtracking to see reindeer in Flakaberg...
0:02:20 > 0:02:24..and ending in Harads, gateway to the fashionable south.
0:02:27 > 0:02:31'Starting in one of Europe's last great wildernesses...'
0:02:31 > 0:02:33Good grief!
0:02:33 > 0:02:35'We're on the trail of a foodie revolution,
0:02:35 > 0:02:38'the Nordic food manifesto.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41It's about seasonal, local produce, animal welfare,
0:02:41 > 0:02:44'and no waste whatsoever.'
0:02:44 > 0:02:47- Nature's bounty.- That's seriously good.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50'It sounds simple, but it has rocked the culinary world
0:02:50 > 0:02:53'and put Scandinavian cuisine on the map.'
0:02:53 > 0:02:56I love smoked fish, but this is superb.
0:02:56 > 0:02:59'On the way, we meet Santa's little brother...'
0:02:59 > 0:03:03HE SINGS
0:03:03 > 0:03:05'..go house jumping for dinner...
0:03:05 > 0:03:07'..And tree climbing at bedtime.'
0:03:10 > 0:03:12Now, this is a proper adventure.
0:03:12 > 0:03:15Oh, it is.
0:03:15 > 0:03:18To really understand the revolution in modern Swedish food,
0:03:18 > 0:03:21we need to start in Lapland.
0:03:21 > 0:03:24Because Lapland is home to the Sami people, who have been herding
0:03:24 > 0:03:30reindeer in this extreme environment for hundreds of years.
0:03:30 > 0:03:33They are masters of living off the land.
0:03:33 > 0:03:35And by necessity have been living the Nordic food
0:03:35 > 0:03:38manifesto for centuries.
0:03:38 > 0:03:42Which is local, seasonal, and of course no waste.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47And what better place to start than the cultural
0:03:47 > 0:03:48heartland of the Sami...
0:03:48 > 0:03:50Jokkmokk.
0:03:50 > 0:03:52Bless you!
0:03:52 > 0:03:55Jokkmokk is the main Sami town of the area.
0:03:55 > 0:03:58Our first stop is a renowned Sami cafe,
0:03:58 > 0:04:03run by a young restaurateur and passionate cook, Malin.
0:04:03 > 0:04:06And we're hoping it'll be our gateway to the Sami people...
0:04:06 > 0:04:08..and their unique cuisine.
0:04:08 > 0:04:10Welcome.
0:04:10 > 0:04:12Thank you very much. Welcome to Jokkmokk, isn't it?
0:04:12 > 0:04:15Watt is Sami food? What makes it special?
0:04:15 > 0:04:20We have, like, lots of herbs and we've got, like, reindeer meat and
0:04:20 > 0:04:24we've got the fish, but of course we don't have all the vegetables.
0:04:24 > 0:04:26And it's also cooked to last, you know?
0:04:26 > 0:04:29If you're out working with the reindeers you have to salt
0:04:29 > 0:04:32the meat and the fish to make it last longer.
0:04:32 > 0:04:35Practical and down-to-earth cooking.
0:04:35 > 0:04:38We're starting with brunch...
0:04:38 > 0:04:40..which is simply slow-roasted Arctic char
0:04:40 > 0:04:44on a bed of freshly picked local herbs.
0:04:44 > 0:04:48The eggs, they are baked in the oven, 65 degrees, for one
0:04:48 > 0:04:50and a half hours.
0:04:50 > 0:04:53- It's just all very soft and lovely. - It's good cooking, isn't it?
0:04:53 > 0:04:54It's nice, yeah.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56Look at the colours. Fabulous.
0:04:56 > 0:05:00This is a cloudberry and lemon vinaigrette.
0:05:00 > 0:05:02Man, the Swedes do love their berries.
0:05:02 > 0:05:04Because it's hard to grow veg here, it's
0:05:04 > 0:05:07a good way to get your daily vitamin intake.
0:05:07 > 0:05:11Like the herbs and the berries, the fish is also local.
0:05:11 > 0:05:15Ah, look at the meat on this Arctic char. It's fantastic.
0:05:15 > 0:05:17At home in England,
0:05:17 > 0:05:19we could use salmon or trout for this, couldn't we?
0:05:19 > 0:05:21Yeah, sure.
0:05:21 > 0:05:22Now it's done.
0:05:22 > 0:05:25It's beautiful, it's fresh, it's simple.
0:05:25 > 0:05:28But within that, it's quite perfect, isn't it?
0:05:28 > 0:05:32Next, we're trying a soup made from the leaves of a birch tree
0:05:32 > 0:05:35boiled and mixed into cream.
0:05:35 > 0:05:39Topped with Arctic char and a real Sami delicacy.
0:05:39 > 0:05:43This is a salted reindeer heart.
0:05:43 > 0:05:46Is reindeer the most common meat that you have here?
0:05:46 > 0:05:48Yeah. I would say so. Reindeer or moose.
0:05:48 > 0:05:50It's very lean.
0:05:50 > 0:05:52I suppose a reindeer doesn't have much problem
0:05:52 > 0:05:54with heart disease, does it, really?
0:05:54 > 0:05:55No.
0:05:55 > 0:05:58You know, we used to eat a lot of heart at school,
0:05:58 > 0:05:59you know, when I was a kid.
0:05:59 > 0:06:01I think it's important to do what we call
0:06:01 > 0:06:04so grandly now "nose to tail" eating.
0:06:04 > 0:06:06The last dish is a reindeer blood pancake,
0:06:06 > 0:06:11and we're going to serve them with the smoked reindeer meat.
0:06:11 > 0:06:13It's a reindeer bonanza!
0:06:13 > 0:06:17Dave, did she just say blood pancake?
0:06:17 > 0:06:20In the Arctic Circle, nothing goes to waste.
0:06:20 > 0:06:24Well, blood is packed with minerals, especially iron.
0:06:24 > 0:06:26You can buy it here in Jokkmokk.
0:06:26 > 0:06:29You can buy reindeer blood that's frozen.
0:06:29 > 0:06:32Let's face it, I don't think you're going to be able to do this at home.
0:06:32 > 0:06:35But do enjoy our experience.
0:06:35 > 0:06:38The pancake is simply flour mixed with blood
0:06:38 > 0:06:39instead of eggs and milk.
0:06:41 > 0:06:43If this is going back to basics, Kingy,
0:06:43 > 0:06:46this trip is going to be amazing.
0:06:46 > 0:06:49Just help yourselves.
0:06:49 > 0:06:52Malin has invited some friends and family for us to meet
0:06:52 > 0:06:54and share our Sami brunch.
0:06:56 > 0:06:58The Arctic char's fantastic.
0:06:58 > 0:07:00Lovely oily, meaty fish.
0:07:00 > 0:07:03As me mother used to say, it is the sort of food - eat that,
0:07:03 > 0:07:05you'd live forever.
0:07:05 > 0:07:07Well, this is intriguing me.
0:07:07 > 0:07:09Ooh...
0:07:09 > 0:07:12It's amazing. The texture of the heart is really soft.
0:07:12 > 0:07:14I can remember when my mum did stuffed sheep's heart and
0:07:14 > 0:07:18- it was like old rubber. This is beautiful.- Very earthy.
0:07:19 > 0:07:22These blood pancakes are really good.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25I mean, if you like black pudding, you'd love them.
0:07:25 > 0:07:28- Yeah.- We have heard about the Nordic manifesto.
0:07:28 > 0:07:32You know, where you love to use locally sourced ingredients and
0:07:32 > 0:07:36seasonal ingredients and there's got to be the birthplace of that,
0:07:36 > 0:07:39and we are hoping to find that in the Sami people.
0:07:39 > 0:07:44But what do you guys know about the Sami people who lives in this area?
0:07:44 > 0:07:47The Sami people are the people from Lapland and northern Sweden
0:07:47 > 0:07:50and the Sami people depend on the reindeer...
0:07:50 > 0:07:53I am myself a Sami, a Sami person. Yeah, I am.
0:07:53 > 0:07:57Some people say that we are the only natives living in Europe.
0:07:57 > 0:07:58Really?
0:07:58 > 0:07:59So it's so cool.
0:07:59 > 0:08:01So you are the original Europeans?
0:08:01 > 0:08:04Yeah, we were here before Sweden was the country.
0:08:04 > 0:08:06I am here because of the reindeer,
0:08:06 > 0:08:09because the reindeer has given us the food.
0:08:09 > 0:08:13Of course, also the fish, but the reindeer has been the main dish.
0:08:13 > 0:08:16I mean, we eat the meat and we take the blood...
0:08:16 > 0:08:18Do get many reindeer around this area?
0:08:18 > 0:08:20Not for the moment.
0:08:20 > 0:08:23I'm part of a Sami village
0:08:23 > 0:08:26and we are up in the mountains.
0:08:26 > 0:08:29You could come and visit me and my family.
0:08:29 > 0:08:31- Wonderful.- Oh, that would be amazing. Thank you.
0:08:31 > 0:08:34Thank you for having us and thank you for showing us the dishes.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36To put it... It's bloody good food.
0:08:43 > 0:08:46I can't believe it! Invited to a Sami village!
0:08:46 > 0:08:48Well, the food was incredible.
0:08:48 > 0:08:52I can only imagine what their way of life must be like.
0:08:52 > 0:08:53So what are we going to wear?
0:08:53 > 0:08:55What are we going to take?
0:08:55 > 0:08:58Well, don't you worry. Malin has given me a name.
0:09:00 > 0:09:03- This is it, Si. Stoorstalka. - Stoorstalka.
0:09:03 > 0:09:05But we need to get a few bits.
0:09:05 > 0:09:08A few bits of kind of Sami bling before we head up to the mountains.
0:09:08 > 0:09:10Well, look, dude, this is a big thing for us.
0:09:10 > 0:09:15We are going to visit the last indigenous European community.
0:09:15 > 0:09:17Come on, then.
0:09:17 > 0:09:23Stoorstalka is run by husband and wife team Per Niila and Charlotte.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26They been successful in spreading Sami craft worldwide.
0:09:27 > 0:09:29We need to get Sami'd up, really.
0:09:29 > 0:09:32- You need a tool belt. - A tool belt?
0:09:32 > 0:09:35Yes, you need knife, your keys, you carry everything in your belt.
0:09:35 > 0:09:37You know, like a go-go-gadget belt.
0:09:37 > 0:09:39No, no, no, that's a very beautiful belt.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41And can you facilitate those?
0:09:41 > 0:09:44Yeah, we can, but we need some help.
0:09:44 > 0:09:48Because we have all sizes but not yours.
0:09:48 > 0:09:49Hold on! What is he saying?
0:09:49 > 0:09:52That you need a Viking sized belt!
0:09:52 > 0:09:53Oh, so... Ah, I see.
0:09:53 > 0:09:56- So here we have the belts. - OK.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58So if you come with me, we are doing the belt things.
0:09:58 > 0:10:00Oh, right.
0:10:00 > 0:10:02- And we'll do the weaving. - Oh, right.
0:10:02 > 0:10:04This is a very practical belt because
0:10:04 > 0:10:08when you were nomadic people you had to carry your things with you.
0:10:08 > 0:10:10- So I'm going to hug you now. - Good job.
0:10:10 > 0:10:12What are we doing?
0:10:12 > 0:10:14- This is a weaving belt.- Right.
0:10:14 > 0:10:16Why am I doing the weaving?
0:10:16 > 0:10:19Cos you've got nimble fingers, dude.
0:10:19 > 0:10:22All these colours, actually, they mean something.
0:10:22 > 0:10:25You can see if somebody passes by, you can say,
0:10:25 > 0:10:28"Oh, they come from this place or that."
0:10:28 > 0:10:30It's a bit like Scottish tartan.
0:10:30 > 0:10:33Maybe the Sami and the British share other things.
0:10:33 > 0:10:36You're not wrong, dude.
0:10:36 > 0:10:37That is fabulous.
0:10:37 > 0:10:39- Yeah.- Oh, look. It's made in England.
0:10:39 > 0:10:41Yeah, it is, actually.
0:10:41 > 0:10:44And we have a long history of trading with England, actually.
0:10:44 > 0:10:47One of the most elegant things that we
0:10:47 > 0:10:49imported from England, it was broad cloth.
0:10:49 > 0:10:51Made of wool.
0:10:51 > 0:10:55- Yeah, we traded fur and we got broad cloth back.- Wow.
0:10:55 > 0:10:59- Flipping heck, mate. You're flying with that!- I've done that much!
0:10:59 > 0:11:00When we got up to the mountains,
0:11:00 > 0:11:03what else can we expect from the Sami people?
0:11:03 > 0:11:05If you're really lucky, you're going to meet a joiker.
0:11:05 > 0:11:07A joiker?
0:11:07 > 0:11:09- Yes, a person who joiks. - What's joiking?
0:11:09 > 0:11:12I think we've got to ask Per Niila. He's a really good joiker.
0:11:12 > 0:11:14Can you give us a joik?
0:11:14 > 0:11:20HE SINGS
0:11:23 > 0:11:26Wow. Wow, that was fantastic.
0:11:26 > 0:11:28It has a very long duration, actually.
0:11:28 > 0:11:31It was part of the pre-Christian song of religion,
0:11:31 > 0:11:36so it was also used as a way to get in touch with the spirits,
0:11:36 > 0:11:40but then came the church and joik was banned.
0:11:40 > 0:11:44The joik, in some way you can say it didn't go away,
0:11:44 > 0:11:46but it went underground.
0:11:46 > 0:11:50So you use the sounds to... They pick what you are joiking.
0:11:50 > 0:11:52So this is an animal.
0:11:52 > 0:11:56HE SINGS RHYTHMICALLY
0:11:56 > 0:11:58I think I've got it.
0:11:58 > 0:11:59Moose!
0:11:59 > 0:12:01Yeah, it's the moose.
0:12:01 > 0:12:03- Good!- Yeah!
0:12:03 > 0:12:05What's this then?
0:12:05 > 0:12:09HE SQUEAKS
0:12:09 > 0:12:11Irritating.
0:12:11 > 0:12:12No!
0:12:12 > 0:12:14- Mouse!- Yes!
0:12:14 > 0:12:16Hey-hey!
0:12:16 > 0:12:18Well, that's the - ahem! - large belt done.
0:12:20 > 0:12:23A couple of ponchos and we're ready to rock.
0:12:23 > 0:12:25Sami style.
0:12:25 > 0:12:27- Thanks.- It was nice meeting you.
0:12:29 > 0:12:32One last thing to complete our Samification.
0:12:32 > 0:12:34Knives.
0:12:34 > 0:12:37A handmade knife is the most precious thing that a Sami owns.
0:12:37 > 0:12:40We're obviously not talking any old pocketknife.
0:12:40 > 0:12:43It's a real survival tool.
0:12:43 > 0:12:48Jesper Eriksson has been making them since he was 13.
0:12:48 > 0:12:52So, Jesper, we're here to get our Sami knives.
0:12:52 > 0:12:54Do you make everything on the knives?
0:12:54 > 0:12:59Yes. I make everything from the blade to collecting the antlers.
0:12:59 > 0:13:02I even make the leather.
0:13:02 > 0:13:04This is Sami craft at its best.
0:13:04 > 0:13:08Jesper uses local reindeer and moose antler...
0:13:08 > 0:13:11..and birch wood for the handle and the sheath -
0:13:11 > 0:13:14all local and sustainable products.
0:13:16 > 0:13:18- Beautiful.- Aren't they?
0:13:18 > 0:13:20I made them sharp also for you.
0:13:20 > 0:13:22Makes a good cook.
0:13:22 > 0:13:26As in the UK, carrying a knife in public is forbidden.
0:13:26 > 0:13:28But as we are going into the wilderness with the Sami,
0:13:28 > 0:13:31it's accepted here.
0:13:31 > 0:13:34We feel very well equipped and we'll certainly be very
0:13:34 > 0:13:36well-dressed when we hit that mountain.
0:13:36 > 0:13:39Thanks, Jesper. We should head for the hills, Kingy.
0:13:39 > 0:13:42- We should, absolutely.- See you. - Thank you.- Thanks, Jesper.
0:13:42 > 0:13:47# Let me tell you about Sweden
0:13:47 > 0:13:52# Only country where the clouds are interesting... #
0:13:53 > 0:13:56To meet up with Henrik and his family,
0:13:56 > 0:14:00we're heading north of Jokkmokk to the Padjelanta National Park.
0:14:03 > 0:14:05Kingy!
0:14:05 > 0:14:07It's a reindeer! There's two!
0:14:07 > 0:14:09- Oh, yes!- Good grief.
0:14:09 > 0:14:12"Hello. I'm Donner and I'm Blitzen."
0:14:12 > 0:14:14THEY LAUGH
0:14:14 > 0:14:16- Hi, fellas.- Bloomin' heck.
0:14:16 > 0:14:18That's fantastic, Kingy.
0:14:18 > 0:14:20Absolutely fantastic.
0:14:20 > 0:14:22Hey, well, it'll not be the first and won't be the last.
0:14:22 > 0:14:25Nope, nope. What's for tea?
0:14:25 > 0:14:29This rugged landscape, dude, is speaking to me in a Viking language.
0:14:29 > 0:14:33Oh, you've got to be tough up here, that's for sure.
0:14:36 > 0:14:39The Sami village is hundreds of miles away,
0:14:39 > 0:14:43so tonight, we're going to stay in a mountain lodge.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52Wow, look at that, Kingy!
0:14:52 > 0:14:54We're sleeping on an island!
0:14:54 > 0:14:57What a perfect place to stay.
0:14:57 > 0:14:58And cook dinner!
0:14:59 > 0:15:03Talk about off the beaten track. It's gorgeous.
0:15:03 > 0:15:07And it'll be really peaceful if you would just shut your face.
0:15:07 > 0:15:09I am the true Viking.
0:15:09 > 0:15:12You're not a true Viking, man, look at you!
0:15:12 > 0:15:13I am.
0:15:13 > 0:15:16No, you're not. You're half Irish, from London. Ow!
0:15:16 > 0:15:19What we'll have to do, we'll have to find out for sure, won't we?
0:15:19 > 0:15:22Aye, apart from the fact there ain't no Vikings up here.
0:15:22 > 0:15:24- No, there isn't.- It's all about the Sami.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27We're going to do everything on this cookery with our knife,
0:15:27 > 0:15:32exactly like a Sami would. Well, the knife and our Sami pot.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35We're going to great that traditional Swedish dish,
0:15:35 > 0:15:36the pytt i panna.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39The literal transition is bits in the pan.
0:15:39 > 0:15:41- It's like the ultimate bubble and squeak.- It is.
0:15:41 > 0:15:44You've got that wonderful smoked reindeer,
0:15:44 > 0:15:47you've got a Swedish sausage...
0:15:47 > 0:15:50We've also got potatoes, onions, carrots, mushrooms,
0:15:50 > 0:15:53and some local cured belly pork.
0:15:53 > 0:15:55I'm going to start with the smoked reindeer.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57Oh, look at this knife!
0:15:57 > 0:15:59It's gorgeous, isn't it?
0:15:59 > 0:16:02First, all the cured meat goes in.
0:16:03 > 0:16:06Because the winters are so harsh, there is that thing
0:16:06 > 0:16:07about eating quite a lot of fat.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09The onions go in...
0:16:09 > 0:16:12The whole thing about this dish is the crunchy bits on the bottom.
0:16:12 > 0:16:16On your potatoes and your veggies and on the meat.
0:16:16 > 0:16:18It's just like the best bet.
0:16:18 > 0:16:20Now, that lovely smoky sausage.
0:16:20 > 0:16:24The idea of this recipe is a one-pot wonder. It is a pan of bits.
0:16:24 > 0:16:27At home, you could use, say, some leftover pork or lamb,
0:16:27 > 0:16:29whatever meat you've got leftover.
0:16:29 > 0:16:31It's a fry up, isn't it?
0:16:31 > 0:16:34- That was the crust, mate. - Let's have a butcher's.
0:16:34 > 0:16:36- Hey-hey!- Oh, that is perfect.
0:16:36 > 0:16:38Beautiful. That's what you want.
0:16:38 > 0:16:41Right. Now, just pop in the shrooms.
0:16:41 > 0:16:44You can see the lad used to work on a building site, can't you?
0:16:44 > 0:16:46Every time I add something, he makes a well in the middle.
0:16:46 > 0:16:48It's dinner, it's not mortar.
0:16:48 > 0:16:51We also put in some thyme and dried mushrooms.
0:16:51 > 0:16:53- Ready?- Yep.
0:16:55 > 0:16:58And their soaking liquor. Remember, nothing's wasted!
0:16:59 > 0:17:01That's all the flavours of the forest.
0:17:01 > 0:17:05Now, what that beautiful cooking liquid is going to do,
0:17:05 > 0:17:07it's going to deglaze the bottom of the pan.
0:17:09 > 0:17:11Now, traditionally, like all good fry ups,
0:17:11 > 0:17:14this dish is finished off with egg.
0:17:14 > 0:17:16And we're going to do it the traditional way, which is
0:17:16 > 0:17:18with raw egg yolks.
0:17:18 > 0:17:20- Beautiful.- Oh, look at that.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22Tell us, what's not to love?
0:17:22 > 0:17:24And there it is.
0:17:24 > 0:17:27Our Hairy Bikers' mountain pan with caramelised bits
0:17:27 > 0:17:30and flavours of the forest.
0:17:30 > 0:17:31You take one side...
0:17:33 > 0:17:34Beautiful.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38Sweet and savoury and awfully tasty.
0:17:44 > 0:17:45Man, it's midnight!
0:17:45 > 0:17:47And it's still not dark.
0:17:47 > 0:17:51It's the land of the midnight sun. It does what it says on the tin.
0:17:54 > 0:17:56Morning, Kingy!
0:17:56 > 0:17:59Today we're off to the top of the world.
0:17:59 > 0:18:02And even though we're at the end of the road,
0:18:02 > 0:18:04our journey's just beginning.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09- You hear the chopper? - Yeah, I can hear it.
0:18:09 > 0:18:13- It's going to come across those trees.- It is. Yes!
0:18:13 > 0:18:15Watch this space! We're getting on a helicopter!
0:18:15 > 0:18:17Argh!
0:18:19 > 0:18:21This is the way to travel, Kingy.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24This is it, man, we're into the mountains to see the Sami.
0:18:24 > 0:18:25For a proper adventure.
0:18:27 > 0:18:32I can't wait to see Henrik's village and to meet his family.
0:18:32 > 0:18:35Spending time with them is going to be a real privilege.
0:18:38 > 0:18:41Well, this is the way to see the Arctic, Kingy, isn't it?
0:18:41 > 0:18:42It's just amazing!
0:18:42 > 0:18:45- Ah!- Look at that!
0:18:46 > 0:18:49- Ah, this is incredible.- So beautiful.
0:18:52 > 0:18:56This is the stunning Padjelanta National Park.
0:18:58 > 0:19:02The park is the part of the UNESCO world heritage site, Laponia,
0:19:02 > 0:19:06the Samis' protected land in Northern Sweden.
0:19:06 > 0:19:10Padjelanta in Sami language means higher land.
0:19:10 > 0:19:13And a pretty good description, if you ask me.
0:19:13 > 0:19:18We've been told it takes four days to walk to the village.
0:19:18 > 0:19:21Or four hours by snowmobile in the winter.
0:19:21 > 0:19:24But we're flying, like the locals do nowadays.
0:19:26 > 0:19:29If you think about the Sami people, it's amazing that you could
0:19:29 > 0:19:32actually be able to make a living out in this environment.
0:19:32 > 0:19:36Yeah. And survive, cos it's a really harsh landscape.
0:19:36 > 0:19:39Oh, aye. I mean, if you get it wrong you could die up here.
0:19:39 > 0:19:42Oh, easily.
0:19:42 > 0:19:44Reindeer at two o'clock, Kingy!
0:19:44 > 0:19:46Got 'em, mate! Got 'em!
0:19:56 > 0:20:00- Henrik.- Hey! Welcome.- It's good to see you again.- Good to see you.
0:20:00 > 0:20:02- How are you?- I'm fine. - Good to see you.
0:20:02 > 0:20:06- What an amazing place! - What a way to arrive!
0:20:06 > 0:20:08You have come to my village, Stora Lukta.
0:20:08 > 0:20:12- And that's a Sami taxi? - Yeah, that's a Sami taxi.
0:20:12 > 0:20:16- And this is where my family lives during the summer.- OK.
0:20:16 > 0:20:20And they are the ones who are involved in reindeer-herding.
0:20:20 > 0:20:24The mountain Sami have summer villages all over the national park
0:20:24 > 0:20:28to keep an eye on their free-roaming reindeer herds.
0:20:28 > 0:20:29'But it's cold up here,
0:20:29 > 0:20:33'so the reindeer are still down in the valleys, where it's warm.
0:20:33 > 0:20:36'They won't climb up to the village for a while yet.'
0:20:36 > 0:20:40But reindeer or no, this place is spectacular.
0:20:40 > 0:20:44- Hey! Ambushed, ambushed!- Yes!
0:20:46 > 0:20:48- This is Beatrice. - Hi, Beatrice, how are you?
0:20:48 > 0:20:51- Hello, Beatrice. Dave. Nice to meet you.- Anthe, how are you?
0:20:51 > 0:20:55- Nice to meet you.- Marianne. - Maria, hi, how are you? - Marianne, pleased to meet you.
0:20:55 > 0:20:56- Buoris.- Buoris.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58- Nice to meet you. - Nice to meet you, sir.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01Seeing the village like this, it's hard to imagine that
0:21:01 > 0:21:05it's one of the toughest places to live in Europe.
0:21:05 > 0:21:07'Yes, Si, this is no holiday camp.
0:21:07 > 0:21:10'Everybody here has to pull their weight.'
0:21:10 > 0:21:13So what do you have planned for us? Cos we have to work, don't we?
0:21:13 > 0:21:16- First we are going to fishing.- OK.
0:21:16 > 0:21:19And then we are going to salt the fish and smoke it.
0:21:21 > 0:21:25For traditional Sami, the short summer is when they fill up
0:21:25 > 0:21:28their larder before the long, harsh winter arrives.
0:21:31 > 0:21:36Along with reindeer meat, fish is an important source of protein.
0:21:37 > 0:21:42And with the lake on their doorstep, you never get fish more fresh
0:21:42 > 0:21:43and local than this.
0:21:46 > 0:21:49See, Si? That's how the Sami belt's used, isn't it?
0:21:49 > 0:21:53Look. Everybody's got the knife but all the eyelets have a purpose.
0:21:55 > 0:21:58- Ah! Beautiful!- Beautiful.
0:21:58 > 0:22:01'The family fishes mainly for Arctic char,
0:22:01 > 0:22:04'a fish related to salmon and lake trout.'
0:22:04 > 0:22:09It's one of the only freshwater fish that can live in the cold Lappish lake.
0:22:09 > 0:22:13Even today, in Midsummer, the water is just four degrees -
0:22:13 > 0:22:15barely above freezing.
0:22:15 > 0:22:20Look at this. Fresh, beautiful fish from these very waters.
0:22:20 > 0:22:24'With no fridges or freezers up here, the catch of the day needs to
0:22:24 > 0:22:27'be treated to keep for the next few weeks.'
0:22:29 > 0:22:35Then I put some salt and then I put fish in,
0:22:35 > 0:22:37make some salt on it.
0:22:37 > 0:22:39How long do you salt it for, Marianne?
0:22:39 > 0:22:43- Over the night, we used to say. - Overnight, yes.- Yes?
0:22:43 > 0:22:47'Salting helps to dehydrate the food, which stops the fish rotting
0:22:47 > 0:22:50'and kills most harmful bacteria.
0:22:50 > 0:22:52'While today's catch is sitting in salt,
0:22:52 > 0:22:55'yesterday's catch is ready for smoking.'
0:22:55 > 0:22:58Who have you got hiding in there, Marianne? Bilbo Baggins?
0:22:58 > 0:23:00SHE LAUGHS
0:23:01 > 0:23:05- Marianne, how long do we smoke the fish for?- A few hours.
0:23:05 > 0:23:08Marianne is cold-smoking her fish,
0:23:08 > 0:23:11a technique which means keeping the fish at the perfect distance
0:23:11 > 0:23:16from the fire so that the smoke is never hot enough to cook it.
0:23:16 > 0:23:19The smoke has antibacterial properties which,
0:23:19 > 0:23:22when combined with the salt, makes the meat last for weeks
0:23:22 > 0:23:27instead of days and gives it a unique, earthy flavour.
0:23:27 > 0:23:31In the rest of Sweden, preserving has become fashionable,
0:23:31 > 0:23:34but for the Sami, it's a way of life.
0:23:34 > 0:23:36And while the smoke does its work,
0:23:36 > 0:23:40Marianne gives us a Sami cooking lesson.
0:23:40 > 0:23:43First, fresh fish straight from the lake.
0:23:43 > 0:23:48When we are out fishing and we don't have any pan with us,
0:23:48 > 0:23:50then we take just a stone,
0:23:50 > 0:23:52a flat stone, and put it on the fire.
0:23:52 > 0:23:57So do you know how, like, the Sami culture is very strong?
0:23:57 > 0:23:59But what's it like for young Sami people?
0:23:59 > 0:24:01- You are just young once in the life.- Yep.
0:24:01 > 0:24:08The young Samis, they are finding new ways to have their traditions
0:24:08 > 0:24:11but still live and find other ways of living.
0:24:11 > 0:24:14I mean, they can be making websites
0:24:14 > 0:24:16and sometimes they can be with the reindeers,
0:24:16 > 0:24:19- they can be a photographer.- Yes.
0:24:19 > 0:24:23I mean, if we were standing like we were 100, 150 years ago,
0:24:23 > 0:24:26- we wouldn't be a culture today. - Yeah, no.
0:24:26 > 0:24:30'Ah, mate, look at that fish! The flesh is getting pink and crispy.'
0:24:30 > 0:24:32That's beautiful, isn't it?
0:24:32 > 0:24:34'It's going to be awesome.'
0:24:35 > 0:24:38- Now we can eat it.- Fantastic.
0:24:38 > 0:24:40SHE LAUGHS
0:24:40 > 0:24:41Mmm.
0:24:45 > 0:24:48- That's moist, Kingy. - It's just a beautiful fish.
0:24:48 > 0:24:53- What a great fish from a lake. - Oh, it is, isn't it?- Yeah, it is. It's superb.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56'Second, it's the smoked version in butter.'
0:24:56 > 0:24:59You know how sometimes it's like smoked food tastes better?
0:24:59 > 0:25:02So you can imagine it being used as a preservative.
0:25:02 > 0:25:07But it actually creates a unique flavour that's absolutely stunning.
0:25:08 > 0:25:11- Here you have.- Hey!
0:25:13 > 0:25:17- Ooh, that's good. - You know what's different, Dave?
0:25:17 > 0:25:22There's smoke all the way through the fish but so light and lovely.
0:25:22 > 0:25:26I love smoked fish. But this is superb.
0:25:26 > 0:25:30'Kingy, these people have been living the good life for centuries.
0:25:30 > 0:25:33'Cooking local and seasonal produce.
0:25:33 > 0:25:37'Preserving what nature gives them for the harsh winter.
0:25:37 > 0:25:40'And tonight, they're happy to share it with us.
0:25:40 > 0:25:44'But Marianne is doing all the work. We should cook something as well.'
0:25:44 > 0:25:48- I tell you what, then. We'll do the pudding.- We will.
0:25:48 > 0:25:50While the family crack on with their chores,
0:25:50 > 0:25:53it's time for us to do what we do best.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58Well, we've had to be a bit inventive for this one, haven't we, really?
0:25:58 > 0:26:01You know, it's like a cross between the Nordic Manifesto
0:26:01 > 0:26:04and the Northern Manifesto.
0:26:04 > 0:26:06So, as a treat for the family, we've brought
0:26:06 > 0:26:10some of the ingredients from home to make one of our favourite puddings.
0:26:10 > 0:26:13With a good old Nordic twist.
0:26:14 > 0:26:18A roasted-almond rice pudding with crystallised angelica
0:26:18 > 0:26:22and a mixed-fruit berry compote with a cloudberry flourish.
0:26:22 > 0:26:27POSH VOICE: Oh! I can feel my dancing shoes coming out already!
0:26:27 > 0:26:30I'm going to stand here and I'm going to toast off some almonds
0:26:30 > 0:26:34which have just been blanched to get the skin off.
0:26:34 > 0:26:38And I am going to start making said rice pudding.
0:26:38 > 0:26:45'Which is milk, pudding rice, sugar and some fresh vanilla and butter.'
0:26:47 > 0:26:50I tell you what, Kingy, we're going to have a yoik-off.
0:26:50 > 0:26:51Ee-yoink-ee-oink.
0:26:51 > 0:26:53Ee-yuh-ee-oink.
0:26:53 > 0:26:55Ee-yuh-ee-uh-ee-oink!
0:26:55 > 0:26:58Ee-yoink-ee-oink, oink, ee-yuh-ee-oink!
0:27:01 > 0:27:03That's easy. You could smell it.
0:27:03 > 0:27:06- Pig!- Yes!- Hey-hey!- Your go.- Right.
0:27:06 > 0:27:09Oor-up. Oor-up.
0:27:09 > 0:27:12Oor-up-rup-rup-rup, ror, oor-up.
0:27:12 > 0:27:16Roor-ro-o-or-rup, rur-rup.
0:27:16 > 0:27:19- It's a cow.- Yeah. You get the gist.
0:27:20 > 0:27:24'Once the almonds are done, chop them roughly and set them aside.
0:27:24 > 0:27:27For the compote, start with a glass of water.'
0:27:27 > 0:27:29I've got some lovely mixed berries here.
0:27:29 > 0:27:31I've got lingonberries, blackberries,
0:27:31 > 0:27:33I've got some cheeky cherries which have been stoned,
0:27:33 > 0:27:36and some raspberries and some strawberries.
0:27:36 > 0:27:39'You could use jam here but in the land of the berries,
0:27:39 > 0:27:44'it would be rude not to use what Mother Nature has to offer.
0:27:44 > 0:27:46'Man, the Swedes eat berries with everything.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49'Meat, fish, and, of course, dessert.'
0:27:49 > 0:27:53To this the juice of a lemon, so I've got my water, my fruit,
0:27:53 > 0:27:55my lemon juice and we add in the sugar.
0:27:55 > 0:27:59Bring that to a gentle simmer, just let it moulder for about ten minutes.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02'To thicken the compote, I'm using arrowroot.'
0:28:03 > 0:28:04Go on, Dave, go on.
0:28:05 > 0:28:07Stir it.
0:28:07 > 0:28:09Well, that arrowroot's thickened it really nicely,
0:28:09 > 0:28:12so turn the heat off and now we get the good bit, Kingy.
0:28:12 > 0:28:17We're going to season it to taste with cloudberry liqueur. Yeeha!
0:28:17 > 0:28:20They've even berrified their booze.
0:28:20 > 0:28:21I'll drink to that.
0:28:23 > 0:28:25All we need to do now is put that in the fridge
0:28:25 > 0:28:26and wait for it to go cool.
0:28:30 > 0:28:33HE WHISTLES A TUNE
0:28:38 > 0:28:43Once the rice is cooked, stir in the almonds and leave to cool.
0:28:43 > 0:28:47Taking my trusty best friend, I'm going to shave angelica.
0:28:47 > 0:28:51'It may seem an exotic ingredient but you've all seen it at home.
0:28:51 > 0:28:55'Candied angelica is the green stuff on top of the Christmas cakes.'
0:28:55 > 0:28:56Ooh!
0:28:56 > 0:28:59'And to make the perfect caramel...' Take some sugar.
0:28:59 > 0:29:03Don't touch it, don't stir it, don't do anything. We want caramel.
0:29:03 > 0:29:06But if you stir it, game over.
0:29:06 > 0:29:10'When the caramel is ready, just pop in your angelica.'
0:29:10 > 0:29:15- Really it's like toffee angelica. Oh, you can smell it now.- Beautiful.
0:29:17 > 0:29:21'Once the outdoor fridge has properly chilled your compote and rice,
0:29:21 > 0:29:25'gently fold some whipped cream into the rice.'
0:29:26 > 0:29:28Are you sure that's not frozen?
0:29:28 > 0:29:31It's not frozen but it's what you would call stiff.
0:29:31 > 0:29:33'The angelica will add the bit of crunch
0:29:33 > 0:29:37'but it's also good for your tummy, helping the digestion.'
0:29:37 > 0:29:38Mmm.
0:29:44 > 0:29:47Mate, they don't need a food manifesto here.
0:29:47 > 0:29:51They just make the most of what the land and lake provide.
0:29:51 > 0:29:53DOGS BARK
0:29:56 > 0:29:58BOTH: Yes!
0:30:00 > 0:30:04Well, it's interesting. We talk about seasonality with food
0:30:04 > 0:30:07but now it's like the fish season, isn't it?
0:30:07 > 0:30:09And so you've got the best of it.
0:30:09 > 0:30:12And, you know, you start thinking about the reindeer season.
0:30:12 > 0:30:15It's not quite here yet but then you're going to be
0:30:15 > 0:30:18so ready for it and enjoy it and be the best of it.
0:30:18 > 0:30:19Mm-hm.
0:30:20 > 0:30:24How did the Sami secure the land from a modern world
0:30:24 > 0:30:25that was ever-expanding?
0:30:25 > 0:30:28We never could secure it, and, I mean,
0:30:28 > 0:30:33- if I use that, when the white man came, he took what he wanted.- Right.
0:30:33 > 0:30:39I mean, with timber-extracting, with hydropower plants,
0:30:39 > 0:30:44so the sad answer is that we never could protect our lands.
0:30:44 > 0:30:47- And how does that make you feel? - I get most angry.
0:30:47 > 0:30:53- Yes.- And I think that more and more Samis are getting more politics.
0:30:53 > 0:30:55- Yes.- Yeah.
0:30:59 > 0:31:01'Let's see if our pudding hits the spot, Kingy.'
0:31:01 > 0:31:03Thank you.
0:31:06 > 0:31:08That little thing with angelica up on the top.
0:31:08 > 0:31:11It makes it complete, all the flavours and...
0:31:11 > 0:31:13Yeah, it's really powerful, isn't it?
0:31:13 > 0:31:15I love this pudding.
0:31:15 > 0:31:18It has such a... The taste, a different taste.
0:31:18 > 0:31:21- The almonds make it crunchy, don't they, as well?- Yeah.- Yes.
0:31:21 > 0:31:24Well, I think that was a resounding success, and what a lovely dinner.
0:31:24 > 0:31:27It was lovely, and great company as well.
0:31:32 > 0:31:34Do you not use toothpaste, you minger?
0:31:35 > 0:31:41MUSIC: Whiskey In The Jar by Thin Lizzy
0:31:41 > 0:31:42Cheers, mate.
0:31:44 > 0:31:47- It's ten o'clock, Kingy. Time for bed.- Lovely.
0:32:03 > 0:32:06Morning, sunshine! It's our last day here.
0:32:06 > 0:32:10The boys have set off really early to check on their reindeer.
0:32:10 > 0:32:14So we're helping Marianne and Beatrice with their weekly bake.
0:32:14 > 0:32:16How beautiful!
0:32:16 > 0:32:20What a fantastic thing to do on a beautiful day in a beautiful place.
0:32:20 > 0:32:23Dave, you can start to put the water in it.
0:32:23 > 0:32:27- Just...- So what's the women's role in Sami culture?
0:32:27 > 0:32:31- Just so we get a good overall picture.- We are the glue.
0:32:31 > 0:32:35- You're the glue that binds. - We are the glue who binds all things together.
0:32:35 > 0:32:40We take care of the children, the food, the dogs, the house,
0:32:40 > 0:32:42the cleaning. We've got everything.
0:32:42 > 0:32:44And then after you've done all of that,
0:32:44 > 0:32:47- you go off and herd reindeer with the men?- No, no, we don't.
0:32:47 > 0:32:51- We don't do that. It's too hard work.- OK.
0:32:51 > 0:32:53And we are not built to do that.
0:32:53 > 0:32:57- Everybody talks about feminist but it's not.- Not, it's not.
0:32:57 > 0:32:59Because we rule all over the men.
0:32:59 > 0:33:02- Without food, what are they going to do?- What are they going to do? Nothing.
0:33:02 > 0:33:05That is beautiful bread.
0:33:05 > 0:33:09- That's...good. - Good?- Yes, that's good. So...
0:33:09 > 0:33:11So what do we do now? Wait?
0:33:11 > 0:33:15We are going to go and pluck jomo for the dessert.
0:33:15 > 0:33:16And where does jomo live?
0:33:16 > 0:33:20In the woods. So we're going to go on a little hike, you and me.
0:33:20 > 0:33:22Smashing(!)
0:33:23 > 0:33:27- 'Here, how come I'm the one hiking?! - Mate, I kneaded the dough.'
0:33:29 > 0:33:32Hey, hey! So, it's a small house-cum-bakery.
0:33:32 > 0:33:34- Yes.- Brilliant.
0:33:34 > 0:33:36I feel like a mountain goat.
0:33:36 > 0:33:39'Vegetables are a rare commodity above the Arctic Circle
0:33:39 > 0:33:43'so edible plants are much sought after in Sami cuisine.
0:33:43 > 0:33:45'In fact, they are protected.
0:33:45 > 0:33:48'So apart from berries and mushrooms, up here,
0:33:48 > 0:33:51'you need to be Sami to pick anything.'
0:33:51 > 0:33:55- This is jomo - this leaf you see here on the ground.- Ah.
0:33:55 > 0:33:59- So we would know this as wood sorrell, I think.- Yeah.
0:34:02 > 0:34:06Yeah, that's sorrel. Oh, wow, it's fabulous. Fresh.
0:34:08 > 0:34:10It is like eating a lemon.
0:34:10 > 0:34:12Just like, mm.
0:34:14 > 0:34:18- Right, so we roll this out?- Yes. - With a knobbly rolling pin.- Yes.
0:34:21 > 0:34:25So you know in the old days, would the Sami houses have been like this?
0:34:25 > 0:34:30- Yes. We lived in this sort of cabin. - Yeah. It's cosy.
0:34:30 > 0:34:33Yes, it's very cosy.
0:34:33 > 0:34:37- Now you can take this and pick... - Oh, right!
0:34:39 > 0:34:43Cos if you don't do that, the bread goes
0:34:43 > 0:34:46- and you have the air in the middle. - Yeah.
0:34:46 > 0:34:50- And then you have to throw it on the stone.- Right, this could be messy.
0:34:52 > 0:34:53Argh!
0:34:55 > 0:34:58- You're good at.- Not bad.- Not bad.
0:34:58 > 0:35:02Would you ever change anything about your Sami way of life?
0:35:02 > 0:35:05No. I couldn't leave this life.
0:35:05 > 0:35:10- Yes, that's good. And then you put it down here.- All right.
0:35:12 > 0:35:18When you work with the reindeer, you don't have so much money
0:35:18 > 0:35:20but it's just that...
0:35:21 > 0:35:25- ..way of living.- Yeah.- That's...
0:35:25 > 0:35:26That's more than money.
0:35:28 > 0:35:31You know that's going to be gorgeous, don't you?
0:35:32 > 0:35:36- Here's the team.- Here's the bread. - Right, look at this, Kingy.
0:35:37 > 0:35:42- Oh!- Wow! - And this is the jomo we have picked.
0:35:42 > 0:35:45We have boiled it and now we have blended it with milk and cream.
0:35:45 > 0:35:47Simple but genius.
0:35:47 > 0:35:51'The sorrel has a sour, green-apple taste and is often used in soup or salad.
0:35:51 > 0:35:54'But here, Beatrice has added sugar
0:35:54 > 0:35:58'and is using it for a rare treat in this part of the world - a dessert.'
0:35:58 > 0:36:01Mmm. That is so fresh-tasting, isn't it?
0:36:01 > 0:36:05- Do you know what? Initially it's like rhubarb.- Yeah.
0:36:05 > 0:36:09Then the bread, it's toasty and crunchy. Ah, it's delicious.
0:36:09 > 0:36:13'These people are so welcoming, I can hardly bear to leave.
0:36:15 > 0:36:19'But, you know, last year Si was so poorly
0:36:19 > 0:36:22'that this trip nearly didn't happen at all.'
0:36:22 > 0:36:26Last year I was very ill indeed. Erm...
0:36:26 > 0:36:33And I think it's more poignant to see the world that I live in.
0:36:33 > 0:36:36There were times when he was sick that I never thought we'd actually
0:36:36 > 0:36:40get back on the road like this, but, boy, have we got back on the road.
0:36:40 > 0:36:42It's incredible to be alive
0:36:42 > 0:36:46and feel alive in a place like this with people like this.
0:36:52 > 0:36:57- Ah! Thanks, guys. Thank you so much. - Thank you.- Thank you.
0:36:57 > 0:36:59I think the helicopter's coming now. Thank you.
0:37:07 > 0:37:09What an amazing couple of days.
0:37:09 > 0:37:14Yes, mate, a simple way of life in harmony with nature.
0:37:14 > 0:37:18If this isn't the source of the Nordic Food Manifesto,
0:37:18 > 0:37:20I don't know what is.
0:37:33 > 0:37:35We've missed out on seeing reindeer in the mountains
0:37:35 > 0:37:39but that's still top of our wish list.
0:37:39 > 0:37:43Well, Henrik suggested that we head 100 miles south of here...
0:37:43 > 0:37:47To another group of Sami, the forest Sami.
0:37:47 > 0:37:50That could be our only chance of understanding the special bond
0:37:50 > 0:37:53between the Sami and this fantastic animal.
0:38:00 > 0:38:04But right now, I'm choking on this dust. Let's stop for lunch!
0:38:08 > 0:38:10Wow! This should do.
0:38:17 > 0:38:18Look at these fish.
0:38:18 > 0:38:23'In the mountains, we were living on Arctic char, which was amazing.
0:38:23 > 0:38:24'But in the local waters here,
0:38:24 > 0:38:28'it's all about these beautiful brown trout.
0:38:28 > 0:38:33'And we are doing our own take on a classic trout almondine.'
0:38:33 > 0:38:37So we're calling this the Hairy Bikers' Sami-sational fish dish!
0:38:37 > 0:38:41Step one, I fillet the trout with my new best friend.
0:38:42 > 0:38:45Right, so make an incision behind the gill like so...
0:38:45 > 0:38:48We're now going to start with that beautiful almondine crust.
0:38:48 > 0:38:50So three tablespoons...
0:38:51 > 0:38:52..of plain flour.
0:38:52 > 0:38:56And then three tablespoons of ground almonds.
0:39:00 > 0:39:02Salt. And pepper.
0:39:04 > 0:39:07And then in the other bowl, some whole milk.
0:39:07 > 0:39:10What we've kind of got here, it's a bit like a salsa verde, isn't it?
0:39:10 > 0:39:13I've got the zest of a lemon there,
0:39:13 > 0:39:15and I want the juice of half a lemon.
0:39:15 > 0:39:18So just put your hand there cos I don't want the pips in.
0:39:18 > 0:39:20I want about a tablespoon of capers.
0:39:20 > 0:39:23- I love capers.- I love capers, too.
0:39:23 > 0:39:26'Some of our ingredients aren't grown around here
0:39:26 > 0:39:28'but, as the Nordic Food Manifesto says...
0:39:28 > 0:39:32'There's nothing wrong in using influences from abroad
0:39:32 > 0:39:35'to bring out the best in local produce.
0:39:35 > 0:39:37'So that's what we're doing.'
0:39:37 > 0:39:39Now I want a big handful of parsley.
0:39:39 > 0:39:41It's like a Martian's Afro.
0:39:47 > 0:39:50- Kingy, I'll just get the mise en place over here.- Get in.
0:39:50 > 0:39:54Step one, take fish, dip in milk, dip in almondine mixture,
0:39:54 > 0:39:57put in the butter and oil, fry till golden.
0:39:57 > 0:40:02Probably about two minutes this side and three minutes on the other side.
0:40:02 > 0:40:05Turn the gas up, Kingy. I think I might.
0:40:07 > 0:40:09THEY LAUGH
0:40:09 > 0:40:15- The smell of wood smoke and fish frying and almonds...- Not too shabby, is it?
0:40:16 > 0:40:19- Look at those.- Mr King, you have a touch
0:40:19 > 0:40:23with fire and food. Look at that.
0:40:23 > 0:40:24Crisp, really crisp.
0:40:24 > 0:40:28Let's just set aside now. Now we work quickly.
0:40:28 > 0:40:30And we put in a handful of almonds.
0:40:30 > 0:40:33We are going to toast these till they're golden.
0:40:33 > 0:40:35It just takes about a minute or two in that butter.
0:40:35 > 0:40:37All the flavours that have come out of the fish
0:40:37 > 0:40:40will coat and toast the almonds. Beautiful.
0:40:40 > 0:40:42Add the parsley and the capers,
0:40:42 > 0:40:45and the lemon juice and the lemon zest.
0:40:45 > 0:40:49Look at that, campfire cookery has never looked so good, has it?
0:40:49 > 0:40:52Look at that, come on.
0:40:54 > 0:40:57Locally caught wild trout,
0:40:57 > 0:40:59in an almondine crust,
0:40:59 > 0:41:01with buttery caper sauce.
0:41:01 > 0:41:06MUSIC: Stranger on the Shore by Mr Acker Bilk
0:41:06 > 0:41:09Oh, man. That fish is of such good quality, Dave.
0:41:09 > 0:41:12I love how the capers cut through that butter.
0:41:12 > 0:41:15Nice bit of zest,
0:41:15 > 0:41:17oily, fresh fish, lovely almondine,
0:41:17 > 0:41:18just fantastic.
0:41:18 > 0:41:21It's one of the most perfect fish dishes.
0:41:21 > 0:41:24It has that kind of French classical quality.
0:41:24 > 0:41:26Bit of new Nordic,
0:41:26 > 0:41:27and a bit of Hairy Bikers.
0:41:44 > 0:41:47Tonight's stopover is in a small village
0:41:47 > 0:41:51just south of the Arctic Circle, Voullerim.
0:41:51 > 0:41:53The little hotel is unusual,
0:41:53 > 0:41:57as it was bought by some of the villagers to avoid it being closed.
0:41:57 > 0:42:01They now run the place just the way they like it
0:42:01 > 0:42:05and the advance party is welcoming us with a local tradition.
0:42:05 > 0:42:08Here are some cheese, then...
0:42:08 > 0:42:10- OK.- ..for the coffee.
0:42:10 > 0:42:12Cheese for the coffee?
0:42:12 > 0:42:17Yes. Just take a piece or two or three and put it in the coffee.
0:42:17 > 0:42:18- IN the coffee?- Yes.
0:42:18 > 0:42:21- Just in the coffee? - Yes, in the coffee.
0:42:21 > 0:42:26And let it be there for a minute or so.
0:42:26 > 0:42:27Mm-hm.
0:42:27 > 0:42:30And when you're chewing it, it will "mm, mm, mm."
0:42:32 > 0:42:34Do we just drink the coffee with the cheese?
0:42:34 > 0:42:36- Yeah.- Oh.
0:42:41 > 0:42:43It's squeaking in me head.
0:42:43 > 0:42:45- It's just...- Squeaking?
0:42:45 > 0:42:48Have you have heard about hushoppar-middag?
0:42:48 > 0:42:49- No.- Hus?
0:42:49 > 0:42:51"Hushoppar mida"?
0:42:51 > 0:42:54- Hushoppar-middag. House jumping. - House jumping?
0:42:54 > 0:42:57We used to jump over postboxes when we were drunk.
0:42:57 > 0:42:58THEY LAUGH
0:42:58 > 0:43:02No, but we are jumping between house.
0:43:02 > 0:43:04- Oh, OK.- From one house to another.
0:43:04 > 0:43:07We have a starter in one house,
0:43:07 > 0:43:10and then we have the main course in the second house
0:43:10 > 0:43:12and dessert in a third house.
0:43:12 > 0:43:15What about house jumping dinner later on tonight?
0:43:15 > 0:43:19- Not half.- We would love that, ladies. Thank you very much.- That would be brilliant.
0:43:19 > 0:43:22Hopefully the dinner won't be as cheesy.
0:43:22 > 0:43:24You see what I did there?
0:43:26 > 0:43:28Spot on.
0:43:28 > 0:43:30Can't be late in Sweden.
0:43:30 > 0:43:33Right, it's starters first.
0:43:33 > 0:43:35- Hi.- Hi.- Dana?- Yes.
0:43:35 > 0:43:37Dana, lovely to meet you.
0:43:37 > 0:43:39- Lovely to meet you, too. Welcome in. Thank- you.- Thank you.
0:43:39 > 0:43:41This smells great!
0:43:41 > 0:43:44- Do you want us to take our shoes off or not?- Yes, please.
0:43:44 > 0:43:48- Tonight we are having cheese pie, the Voullerim roll...- Uh-huh.- Yes.
0:43:48 > 0:43:52..and a char and cloudberry ceviche.
0:43:52 > 0:43:57- Wow.- Oh!- That was a cloudberry festival winner last year.
0:43:57 > 0:43:59We'll drink to that.
0:43:59 > 0:44:01This is beautiful food.
0:44:01 > 0:44:05You know when you walk past a neighbour's house and you're thinking, "that looks nice.
0:44:05 > 0:44:07- "I wonder how they live."- Yes.
0:44:07 > 0:44:09Join one of these dinners and find out.
0:44:11 > 0:44:13The Voullerim roll is fabulous.
0:44:13 > 0:44:16Is it smoked reindeer meat, did I hear somebody say?
0:44:16 > 0:44:19- Yes.- It's fantastic with the horseradish as well.
0:44:21 > 0:44:24It's a great way to have a dinner party because this is wonderful,
0:44:24 > 0:44:26so your work is done,
0:44:26 > 0:44:29you can really enjoy yourself and then it is over to Annette's house.
0:44:29 > 0:44:32Dave, that was home cooking.
0:44:32 > 0:44:36Yes, mate. You can rely on the Swedes to do tasty, stylish
0:44:36 > 0:44:39an simple, all at the same time.
0:44:39 > 0:44:41I want to be Swedish.
0:44:41 > 0:44:44Ooh, I can't wait for the main course.
0:44:44 > 0:44:46Wow!
0:44:46 > 0:44:47That looks fantastic.
0:44:47 > 0:44:50Now are we going to eat the wiener schnitzel...
0:44:50 > 0:44:51- Uh-huh.- ..from the moose.
0:44:51 > 0:44:54Did you shoot this moose?
0:44:54 > 0:44:56- Yes.- I never expected that answer!
0:44:56 > 0:44:58HE LAUGHS
0:44:58 > 0:45:02'Turns out Sweden has over a quarter of a million moose.'
0:45:02 > 0:45:05'Aye, one less now, though.'
0:45:05 > 0:45:06Really superb meat.
0:45:06 > 0:45:08It's almost like a good roast veal.
0:45:08 > 0:45:10Mm!
0:45:10 > 0:45:13'One of the guests is from the forest Sami community,
0:45:13 > 0:45:17'so he can give us an idea of what to expect tomorrow.'
0:45:17 > 0:45:20The forest Samis, they stay together with their
0:45:20 > 0:45:24herds throughout the year.
0:45:24 > 0:45:28- Right.- And in very close vicinity of the herds,
0:45:28 > 0:45:30whilst the other Samis,
0:45:30 > 0:45:33of course, have the free-ranging idea
0:45:33 > 0:45:35- up in the mountains.- Yep, right.
0:45:35 > 0:45:37So that is the main difference.
0:45:37 > 0:45:41So if we went to see the forest Sami, we'd definitely see some reindeer?
0:45:41 > 0:45:43I'm sure you would.
0:45:43 > 0:45:45Well, that's the answer, then, isn't it? Skal.
0:45:45 > 0:45:46ALL: Skal.
0:45:46 > 0:45:48Thank you very much.
0:45:48 > 0:45:51'I'm proper loving this hushoppar-middag.'
0:45:51 > 0:45:54'I'm proper loving the pudding cos it's got to be next.'
0:45:56 > 0:45:57- Wow!- Oh!
0:45:57 > 0:46:00- Oh, this is fantastic!- That looks great, doesn't it?
0:46:00 > 0:46:02Now we are having
0:46:02 > 0:46:04a dessert, and it's a cloudberry
0:46:04 > 0:46:05- parfait.- Whoa!
0:46:05 > 0:46:10- It's cloudberry liqueur and cognac. - That looks gorgeous.
0:46:10 > 0:46:13'Ah, parfait is frozen dessert made with sugar,
0:46:13 > 0:46:14'meringue and cream.'
0:46:14 > 0:46:17'And nobody does berries and cream like the Swedes.'
0:46:17 > 0:46:20The cloudberries are really quite special, aren't they?
0:46:22 > 0:46:24Sour and sweet at the same time.
0:46:24 > 0:46:27There is a citrus to the cloudberry, though,
0:46:27 > 0:46:30that goes great with the parfait and the sweetness of the meringue.
0:46:30 > 0:46:32That parfait is like silk.
0:46:32 > 0:46:34You can taste the alcohol,
0:46:34 > 0:46:37you've got some meringues, you've got some texture to it.
0:46:37 > 0:46:41It does taste of the area, it's lovely.
0:46:41 > 0:46:44'Well, we've had another warm welcome, mate.'
0:46:44 > 0:46:46'Yep, you've got to love 'em here.'
0:46:51 > 0:46:55There's one last thing to do before we head south.
0:46:55 > 0:46:58Find some reindeer.
0:46:58 > 0:47:01Between our house-jumping friend and Henrik's info,
0:47:01 > 0:47:03I think we're on the right track.
0:47:05 > 0:47:08We're off to the village of Flakaberg,
0:47:08 > 0:47:13to meet Lars and his family, who are forest Sami.
0:47:13 > 0:47:16Flakeberg is in the middle of nowhere,
0:47:16 > 0:47:19but it is surrounded by the most beautiful forest.
0:47:32 > 0:47:35I didn't think we were going to find it, you know, did you?
0:47:35 > 0:47:39No, this is it, this is where Lars lives. Lars lives in the woods.
0:47:39 > 0:47:42Lars has reindeers. This could be the end of our quest.
0:47:42 > 0:47:47- So it's fair to say that Lars is a forest Sami.- He is.
0:47:47 > 0:47:51And like the mountain Sami, they've both got mosquitoes.
0:47:51 > 0:47:52They have, haven't they?
0:47:52 > 0:47:54I just can't wait to see them.
0:47:54 > 0:47:59'We better find the main man before we are eaten alive.'
0:48:02 > 0:48:04- Whoa! Lars.- Lars.
0:48:05 > 0:48:08'Oh, man, I love his clothing.'
0:48:08 > 0:48:10It's colourful but practical,
0:48:10 > 0:48:12just like you.
0:48:12 > 0:48:13Oh!
0:48:13 > 0:48:18- Cloudberry cake?- Oh, yes, please. Have long have you both lived here?
0:48:18 > 0:48:20And how long has the family...?
0:48:20 > 0:48:22All my life.
0:48:22 > 0:48:24- Your father too?- Yeah.
0:48:26 > 0:48:27Six generations here.
0:48:27 > 0:48:29Six?!
0:48:29 > 0:48:31We've been to the mountain Sami
0:48:31 > 0:48:34and travelled up there but we didn't see any reindeer.
0:48:34 > 0:48:37Not so many Sami people have the reindeer
0:48:37 > 0:48:39like we have.
0:48:39 > 0:48:44They go not longer than maybe five, 6km from here.
0:48:44 > 0:48:49And then they come home, most every day they come home.
0:48:49 > 0:48:51Lars, how many reindeer do you need to have
0:48:51 > 0:48:54to make a living?
0:48:54 > 0:48:56Today you must have 1,000, a minimum
0:48:56 > 0:48:58of 1,000.
0:48:58 > 0:49:00- 1,000?- Yes,
0:49:00 > 0:49:02but there's not many Sami people
0:49:02 > 0:49:04live only from the reindeer.
0:49:04 > 0:49:07Do you love the reindeer, Lars?
0:49:07 > 0:49:09It's the best. Reindeer is my life.
0:49:09 > 0:49:14We love the reindeer and then we eat them up.
0:49:14 > 0:49:16Why do you do that?
0:49:16 > 0:49:20Because we must have food and we must have money.
0:49:20 > 0:49:23We could not live only to look at the reindeer.
0:49:23 > 0:49:25Shall we go outside and see the reindeer...?
0:49:25 > 0:49:28That would be brilliant. Thanks, Lars.
0:49:28 > 0:49:31We can go a little trip.
0:49:31 > 0:49:33When I see you, you can have lunch.
0:49:33 > 0:49:35- That's brilliant! - Brilliant, thank you.
0:49:40 > 0:49:44'Come on, Kingy, mosquito hats at the ready.'
0:49:44 > 0:49:47So how do we attract the reindeer?
0:49:47 > 0:49:49We shall take a little food for them
0:49:49 > 0:49:51and they come.
0:49:51 > 0:49:55This is the reindeers' good food.
0:49:55 > 0:49:58- Is this the white thing? - The white moss.
0:49:58 > 0:50:00- It's all right, isn't it?- It IS nice.
0:50:03 > 0:50:06HE CALLS
0:50:06 > 0:50:08Ho-ho-ho!
0:50:10 > 0:50:14- Dude, we're feeding reindeer... - I know!- ..in Sweden.
0:50:14 > 0:50:18- I never thought I'd be hand-feeding reindeer.- No, mate, it's a first.
0:50:18 > 0:50:21The small reindeer here, they are born
0:50:21 > 0:50:23in May.
0:50:23 > 0:50:26We are all big predators here, all.
0:50:26 > 0:50:29We are wolf, lynx,
0:50:29 > 0:50:33the eagle when their calf is not so big,
0:50:33 > 0:50:36the eagle comes and takes them.
0:50:36 > 0:50:37Takes them up.
0:50:37 > 0:50:41'Lars' reindeers can come and go as they please
0:50:41 > 0:50:45'and spend a lot of time roaming free in the forest.'
0:50:45 > 0:50:48'At this time of year, they are growing their antlers
0:50:48 > 0:50:51'and shedding their winter coats.'
0:50:51 > 0:50:53Lars, in the autumn,
0:50:53 > 0:50:57is that the time that you slaughter the reindeer...for meat?
0:50:57 > 0:51:00We slaughter little in the autumn,
0:51:00 > 0:51:02- in September.- Right.
0:51:02 > 0:51:03Not so much.
0:51:03 > 0:51:07The much we slaughter in November, December.
0:51:07 > 0:51:08Then we slaughter.
0:51:08 > 0:51:10How do you choose which ones to kill?
0:51:10 > 0:51:14If I see they come older,
0:51:14 > 0:51:19and if he have little...
0:51:19 > 0:51:21- Limp?- Yeah.
0:51:21 > 0:51:24The weakest of the herd you take, the strongest of the herd you leave?
0:51:24 > 0:51:28- Yeah.- Is it difficult, because you live so close to them, to slaughter them?
0:51:28 > 0:51:31Yes, it's a very hard day when I slaughter
0:51:31 > 0:51:33some of them.
0:51:33 > 0:51:37This one, I'll never slaughter this one.
0:51:37 > 0:51:40- Never. - He looks healthy, doesn't he?
0:51:40 > 0:51:43- He comes very, very beautiful in September.- I'll bet.
0:51:43 > 0:51:45And we have a very big...
0:51:45 > 0:51:47- Big antlers?- ..horns.
0:51:47 > 0:51:48BOTH: Yeah.
0:51:48 > 0:51:50You couldn't live without reindeer?
0:51:50 > 0:51:53No. Every day I go out and see how they are
0:51:53 > 0:51:55and give them some food.
0:51:55 > 0:51:57Talk with them.
0:51:57 > 0:52:00The reindeer can only understand the Sami language.
0:52:00 > 0:52:02- Uh-huh?- Only Samish.
0:52:02 > 0:52:04Do they understand joiking?
0:52:04 > 0:52:06Yes, they understand.
0:52:06 > 0:52:08HE SINGS
0:52:21 > 0:52:23Oh!
0:52:23 > 0:52:26Is that a joik particularly for a reindeer?
0:52:26 > 0:52:29Yes, only for these ones.
0:52:29 > 0:52:31- Only for these ones.- I have to say
0:52:31 > 0:52:35a pampered herd I have never come across before.
0:52:35 > 0:52:36They're great, aren't they?
0:52:36 > 0:52:38How fabulous!
0:52:38 > 0:52:40They're wonderful animals.
0:52:42 > 0:52:46It's not very often that we see human beings intrinsically linked to another animal.
0:52:46 > 0:52:49And that other animal is the reindeer.
0:52:49 > 0:52:52Whether they are forest Sami or mountain Sami.
0:52:52 > 0:52:56They are just gentle, kind, reflective people.
0:52:56 > 0:53:01And because we have the modern buzz in our lives now,
0:53:01 > 0:53:05it's very hard sometimes to kind of remind yourself of that silence
0:53:05 > 0:53:09and of that point of reflection, isn't it?
0:53:09 > 0:53:11It's been a remarkable insight
0:53:11 > 0:53:15into what I think is like the core of Swedish food.
0:53:15 > 0:53:19On every menu here, there is reindeer,
0:53:19 > 0:53:20moose and Arctic char,
0:53:20 > 0:53:23and that is our sausage, egg and bacon, really.
0:53:23 > 0:53:26'Well, mate, you are not going to be disappointed
0:53:26 > 0:53:28'for lunch, because Lars
0:53:28 > 0:53:31'is going to stir fry some of his reindeer fillet.'
0:53:31 > 0:53:34The smell of it is just...
0:53:34 > 0:53:37I have seen the cooks when they are in the television,
0:53:37 > 0:53:39- they are...- Oh, yeah.
0:53:39 > 0:53:40They are all very good.
0:53:40 > 0:53:41DAVE LAUGHS
0:53:41 > 0:53:45- I think you got the job, Lars. - I think he has, hasn't he?
0:53:45 > 0:53:48Could be a body double for us, Dave.
0:53:48 > 0:53:49Lars, is that an eagle?
0:53:54 > 0:53:56Oh, it melts in your mouth.
0:53:56 > 0:54:00'But it wouldn't be a Sami lunch without a few more local delicacies.'
0:54:00 > 0:54:03I'm bringing you dinner.
0:54:03 > 0:54:05- Are you hungry?- Very.- Yeah.
0:54:05 > 0:54:07Oh, look at those potatoes.
0:54:07 > 0:54:09I'll put it here, lunch.
0:54:09 > 0:54:12We've got reindeer, some lingonberries, parsley.
0:54:12 > 0:54:14We'll at some cream and mashed potatoes.
0:54:14 > 0:54:17This is a fine feast.
0:54:17 > 0:54:18I poison you?
0:54:18 > 0:54:20Yeah!
0:54:24 > 0:54:25Oh!
0:54:27 > 0:54:29Nature's bounty, beautiful.
0:54:29 > 0:54:31- The mushrooms are fantastic. - Aren't they?
0:54:31 > 0:54:33This is the ultimate Nordic manifesto meal, isn't it?
0:54:33 > 0:54:35Absolutely is.
0:54:35 > 0:54:37Potatoes from here,
0:54:37 > 0:54:39morels from the woods, the reindeer from there,
0:54:39 > 0:54:42it is wonderful, isn't it?
0:54:42 > 0:54:44The berries, lingonberries.
0:54:44 > 0:54:46The lingonberries is only 50 metres.
0:54:46 > 0:54:48That's good food there.
0:54:48 > 0:54:50It's great food, Lars.
0:54:50 > 0:54:53Oh, that was so good, I could eat the pattern on the plate.
0:54:53 > 0:54:55That was beautiful, thank you.
0:54:55 > 0:54:58Mate, I think that is a perfect way to say goodbye to Lapland,
0:54:58 > 0:55:00- with that meal.- Couldn't get any better.
0:55:00 > 0:55:03- Not even close.- I will remember that as long as I live, thank you.
0:55:03 > 0:55:05Thank you so very much for having this.
0:55:05 > 0:55:08It was nice to have you here, you are welcome back.
0:55:08 > 0:55:10- Thank you so much.- Thank you.
0:55:12 > 0:55:15- Thanks, Lars, bye.- Thank you.
0:55:20 > 0:55:24'Well, we finally found Rudolph and his mates.'
0:55:24 > 0:55:27'But it's time to say goodbye to our new friends, the Sami,
0:55:27 > 0:55:30'and we are ready to head south,
0:55:30 > 0:55:33'towards a more urban part of Sweden.'
0:55:33 > 0:55:37Yeah, I'm looking forward to a little bit of Scandinavian style.
0:55:37 > 0:55:41'For our last stopover we are checking out the fashionable
0:55:41 > 0:55:44'Treehotel near the village of Harads.'
0:55:53 > 0:55:56I sense we are getting a whiff of modern Sweden.
0:55:56 > 0:55:58I sense something a bit different.
0:56:00 > 0:56:02'The Treehotel has only six rooms.
0:56:02 > 0:56:05'Each wackier than the last.
0:56:05 > 0:56:08'From a cabin suspended in a tree
0:56:08 > 0:56:12'to a UFO, and even a bird's nest.'
0:56:12 > 0:56:17'Wow. Can you check mine? It's a mirror cube!'
0:56:17 > 0:56:19Wow!
0:56:19 > 0:56:22Now this is the face of modern Sweden -
0:56:22 > 0:56:25design crossed with nature. Look,
0:56:25 > 0:56:28I've got a balcony.
0:56:28 > 0:56:30'Will you stop faffing about? Come and look at mine,
0:56:30 > 0:56:33'it's great!'
0:56:35 > 0:56:38- Wow!- Plush, innit?
0:56:38 > 0:56:39It's fab!
0:56:39 > 0:56:42Come and have a look at the balcony. Come in.
0:56:42 > 0:56:45- Cheers.- Cheers. The Sami.- The Sami
0:56:45 > 0:56:48- and nature.- And Sweden. And the Baltic, actually.- It's marvellous.
0:56:51 > 0:56:53What a journey, what a trip - riding bikes...
0:56:53 > 0:56:55Flying choppers...
0:56:55 > 0:56:57Living with the Sami...
0:56:57 > 0:56:58In the mountain...
0:56:58 > 0:57:02- In the forest...- Eating reindeer. - Eating fish.- Eating more reindeer.
0:57:02 > 0:57:04And making new friends.
0:57:04 > 0:57:06I feel my soul and palate have been cleansed.
0:57:06 > 0:57:09- So let's head south.- Dude, the land
0:57:09 > 0:57:10the Vikings awaits us,
0:57:10 > 0:57:13feels like home is calling.
0:57:16 > 0:57:21- If anybody's a Viking... We both could be Vikings.- Do you reckon?
0:57:25 > 0:57:27Hi, I'm a Viking!
0:57:27 > 0:57:31I AM A VIKING!
0:57:43 > 0:57:44HE GROWLS
0:57:46 > 0:57:49But we really will find out whether we are Vikings are not
0:57:49 > 0:57:53because to end at this mystery, we have had our DNA tests done.
0:57:53 > 0:57:58Quite comprehensively, and it takes our fathers' lineage right back,
0:57:58 > 0:58:01right back to where we really do come from.
0:58:01 > 0:58:05Time will tell - tune in to the next programme to find out.
0:58:05 > 0:58:06Viking or not,
0:58:06 > 0:58:08we're carrying on our journey...
0:58:08 > 0:58:11..To the cutting edge of Nordic cuisine.
0:58:11 > 0:58:14- We will make that Swedish classic... - Smorgasbord.
0:58:14 > 0:58:16Get ourselves in a right pickle.
0:58:16 > 0:58:19And it wouldn't be Sweden without meatballs.
0:58:19 > 0:58:23So don't miss the end of our amazing Baltic adventure...
0:58:23 > 0:58:27..As we invade southern Sweden, Bikers-style.
0:58:29 > 0:58:32This Viking malarkey is quite tiring, isn't it?
0:58:32 > 0:58:34It's knocking hell out of my knees.
