    Living in Lithuania made me realise that prepacked and basically cupboard food in my country is overpriced even tho it's a long shelf life food... The fresh produce is way more expensive in Finland than Lithuania... Thanks for the video :)

    One of your videos popped up on my feed today and I’ve gone through all the ones on your channel that I can see. It’s been great seeing a bit of your life there. Wondering how long you’ve been in Finland and if you like it there. Must be so different to the US. I’d love to see more of your surroundings too. 😊 thanks for a lovely few hours watching..😊

    I’ve never seen anything like this in Australia. What a great concept. I think rent of the space is enough without them adding commission, but then I’m not them so they might need to.

    Fishburgers won't sell very well here, I guess that's why they aren't at the list. We finnish prefer fish different way... Also ryebread doesn't fit to be a burger"bun". I eat it at home all the time, and like it, but wouldn't order at a burgerplace. I like Hesburger more anyways. 😅

    Its up to each person but remember to eat less then 30gram of Licorice otherwise it can be an "negative" effect ,think i saw an study that they had test even on healthy people they saw an increase risk .I love Licorice and i try to each less than 30g from time to time like ones a month or so.

    Little experiment, now that you have tasted salmiakki. Don't know if it works on somebody who don't love salmiakki, but: If you watch this video or just think of salmiakki do you notice like a fountain of saliva opening under your tongue? Can't think any other edible having this effect, just salmiakki.
