Are there any people from Sweden here? Can I ask you a few questions about what candies/snacks you have there, and, more importantly, what candies/snacks you don't?
I'm trying to decide on things to send to a Swedish friend and don't know what you already have over there, or how common it is.

- If you have, what do you think of it?
- Dried seaweed (asian snack type)?
- Coffee-flavoured hard candy?
- Apple/vanilla-infused white chocolate?

- Fruit jujube candies?
- Sweet soy milk?
- Sweet sesame porridge/pudding?
- Sesame/nut crunchy nougat candy?
- Fruit roll-ups?
- Candied plums?
- Hawthorn?
- Chocolate with jelly inside?
- Chocolate with fondant inside (filled chocolate)?
- Aerated chocolate?
- Chewy fruit candy?

make sure to check the candy you're sending is Halal approved
>>7753720
You should drop Hawthorn. It grows naturally in Sweden and the rest of Scandinavia.
>>7754126
Whoops... seems like I mixed up some shit. I was thinking about sea-buckthorn. Disregard my previous post.
>>7753767
Thank you for the continued answers.
>>7754018
They're atheist, not allergic to anything, and have no significant dietary requirements.

It's kind similar to a sweet/sour plum-like taste. If it's too similar to any candies common there I might drop it, but if not, I won't.
Mostly, I'm just looking to send them some new flavours that they haven't experienced before.
How common is Asian food in Sweden? Asian candy?

Ask your friend to send you some Marabou chocolate so you can take a trip to flavor town.
Mint is the best but apparently people disagree.

>- Have you ever had mochi?
Once, but most people wouldn't know what it is.
>- If you have, what do you think of it?
It was kind of good but also expensive as fuck.

Only with miso/sushi/japanese food. Not as a snack.

fuck outta here with that shit
>>7754397
>asian food common?
seems pretty common in a third-rate city like malmö, so i'm sure it's in bigger cities like göteborg and stockholm, too
>looking to send them some new flavours that they haven't experienced before.
reese's pieces. if you live in US/CAN
my entire family loves them but PB on its own is kinda rare so forget about PB sweets
>>7754126
>hawthorn is natural in sweden
>look it up
OH! yeah, then change my answer in >>7753689 from n to y
>>7755132
No need to touch any of that shit. Just get the bog standard licorice. It's the good stuff.
>>7754429
It's a gift that I'm deciding to send of my own accord, and I don't want to put any pressure on them.
>>7754517
>>7754525
Thank you!
By fruit jelly cups I mean the type that look like (picture attached), they're single-serving / bite-sized fruit-gelatin-like jellies in plastic cups.
>>7754526
Thank you, I'll keep that in mind. It's not so much food that I want to send, but snacks/candies, as they're more likely to survive the shipping trip there.
>>7755132
They live in a fairly small city which doesn't have many Asian stores, but they've lived in Stockholm before, so I have no idea of the extent of what they've encountered before.
Will definitely try to send some Reese's pieces, though, thank you.
More questions:
- Miso?
- Pocky?
- Hawthorn flakes?
What types of American candies are common in stores (that I should avoid sending)?
