Good things that come in tubes. Toothpaste. Paint. Mayonnaise. Fish eggs. Prawn cheese. What? Mackerel in tomato in a tube? And for those last few, you can thank Sweden. Thanks a lot.
在管子裡的好東西。牙膏。顏料。蛋黃醬。魚卵。起司蝦醬。什麼？做成管狀的茄汁鯖魚？剛剛最後那幾樣，你可以感謝瑞典。謝囉。
In Sweden, it's not uncommon to get your daily sustenance from a tube.
在瑞典，從管狀食物攝取每日所需的營養是再平常不過的事。
It is something very Swedish, but I think many Swedes don't really realize that it's something unique. My name is Karla Marie Paredes. I am originally from the Philippines, but I am based in Sweden. I've been in Sweden since 2012.
這是非常瑞典式的行為，但我覺得很多瑞典人並沒有意識到這是一件獨特的事。我叫 Karla Marie Paredes。我來自菲律賓，但我現在住在瑞典。我從 2012 年開始就住在瑞典了。
Karla is fascinated by Sweden's food in tubes, so much so that she actually wrote her master's thesis on it.
Karla 對瑞典的管狀食物非常著迷，著迷到甚至寫了一篇碩士論文研究這個現象。
I wrote 65 pages of... Yeah. So, some of these products you can use on a sandwich. These are caviar and the spreadable cheese and pâtes. You have another category which is more for dressings and condiments—mayonnaise or, like, hamburger dressing. And then you also have purees, like tomato puree, which you can use for cooking.
我寫了 65 頁的...對。這些產品有些可以用在三明治上。像是魚子醬、可塗抹的起司跟肉醬。還有另外一個種類是比較屬於醬料和調味品的－－蛋黃醬或是像漢堡的調味料。也有菜泥之類的，像是番茄泥，可以拿來煮菜用。
But for the most popular way to eat food from a tube, you need your bread, cracker, or as the Swedes call it—knackebrod.
但如果是吃管狀食物最常見的方式，你需要準備麵包、餅乾、或是瑞典人俗稱的－－黑麥脆餅。
Perfect.
完美。
Now you need a topping. What about the king of food tubes—Kalles Kavair? It's made from salted or smoked cod roe. Or what about a cheese in a tube? Bacon cheese, shrimp and crayfish cheese, blue cheese with pear. Yeah, there's a lot.
現在你需要一個配料。管狀食物之王－－魚子醬如何？它是由醃製或煙燻的鱈魚卵做成。還是要嘗試看看管狀的起司？培根起司、小龍蝦起司、藍起司與西洋梨。沒錯，真的很多。
You would definitely also find this, you know, in Denmark, in Norway and Finland, in Germany. But I'm not sure if it's as big in those countries as here in Sweden.
你一定也可以在像是丹麥、挪威、芬蘭或德國看到管狀食物。但我不確定管狀食物在那些國家是不是也和在瑞典一樣盛行。
They all look delicious, but what I don't understand is, why the tubes?
它們看起來都好好吃，但我不懂的是，為什麼要裝在管子裡？
I would say maybe it's a culture of practicality and functionality. It's very convenient; it's very clean, you know, it's easy to dose the product. All Swedes kind of have their own way of emptying it as much as they can. There are some, like, contraptions, that you can use to, like, fold it somehow. So that you put it here, and then you just roll it and try to squeeze everything out of it.
我覺得應該是一種強調實用性和功能性的文化。它非常方便；非常乾淨，而且你也知道，它非常好擠出來塗抹。所有瑞典人都有自己的一套方法來把它擠乾淨。有一些裝置可以讓你把它折起來。然後只要裝在上面捲一捲就可以把東西全部擠出來。
Okay. So, have the Swedes won you over?
原來。那麼，瑞典人有征服你的心嗎？
I'm not Swedish so this was something that—it was like, acquired taste, in a way. I do have, like, bacon cheese, uh...but it's not really something that I eat often. It's more like, it's in my fridge. This is the only flavor of spreadable cheese that I actually really eat.
我不是瑞典人所以這個對我來說－－比較像一種後天被開發的味蕾。我會吃培根起司之類的，呃...但這真的不是我經常會吃的東西。它比較像是會一直囤在冰箱的東西。這個口味的抹式起司是我唯一真的會吃的。
You know what? I think if anything can get me into food tubes, it's probably bacon. Thanks, Karla. And happy eating!
你知道嗎？如果有任何東西可以讓我願意嘗試管狀食物，大概就是培根了。謝啦，Karla。用餐愉快!
