Swede here, where is all the good genuine South American cuisine? If we're Venezuela we should at least get that.

There are a few nice restaurants in Stockholm if you know where to look

I'm going to be in Stockholm in a few weeks, any suggestions for restaurants in general?

Edit: Are you a cook?

I'm not a cook, no. I work in tech

If you're looking for Latin American, I would suggest:

  • Santa Salsa, arepas
  • La Neta, tacos
  • Maestra Vida, ceviche
  • Volca, argentinian café
  • Salta Pizza, argentinian pizza

Finally, one I haven't been to but heard good things about: Checa, peruvian

Making arepas yourself is pretty easy, it's just hard to find (good quality) ingredients.

It's a right-wing onion site, mocking socialism... It's propaganda.

It's literally The Onion. Patriothole is part of Clickhole. Clickhole is an Onion side venture. Stop eating the Onion.

CORRECTION: The Onion sold Clickhole to Cards Against Humanity in 2020. But, this meme was from 2019 so it's still The Onion.

I don't think you get my point. It can be an onion site AND at the same time do an article that is funny but still pushing propaganda.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 weeks ago

I get your point. It's an awful point and I have zero respect for your pearl-clutching, but I totally get it. If I knew absolutely nothing about The Onion and had absolutely no sense of humor, I too might call this propaganda.

Nothing. It's a meme from 1999 prior to the American presidential election in 2020.

Bernie Sanders used the Scandinavian countries as reference for his progressive social-democratic politics. Fox News attacked it by comparing it to Venezuela. The Clickhole website by the Onion ran the pictured satirical article to highlight the absurdity of the Fox News claims.

Thanks for explaining!
