I remember way back when, I first saw Bizarre Foods Finland episode. It was the first thing on TV I saw about Finnish food that wasn't making fun of the cuisine over here. Glad to see that continues here. Kippis and happy Juhannus!
History of karelian pie is that in 19th century there was kind of miniature "ice age" aka crops failed in Finland for several tears in row and we were part of Russian empire that time and most trading was done still via trading goods at general store to what you needed so you could get something like 5-8 kg of rice from Ukraine with 1 kilo of rye in Finland that time and before the cold period Karelians had made this pie similar of modern one but with mashed potatoes instead rice porridge, but as potatoes were also failing as were rye and other corns, rice porridge replaced mashed potato filling (it is still made, but it is not as common). also at this time rice porridge replaced barley porridge as Yule/Christmas dish.
Quite upper class episode. Quite many people have never eaten vorschmack or crabs. Like showing US food culture with what top politicians and robber barons like.
Definitely. Though I do think the crab thing is more coastal and/or Swedish-speaking than strictly upper class. I’m from the Turku region (a Finnish-speaking Finn) and crab parties were very common place.
Sorry but we do not use our fingers to eat. Only for crayfish and chicken wings. Europe is known for eating with knife and fork. I have never eaten a pizza with my fingers. As I was in Italy for a longer period it was served with knife and fork. By the way an open sandwich taste really good with knife and fork. Sorry ?
Karelian stew.. minced meat sauce.. actually, where is the finnish version of browned flour? Velli? West sourdough bred called Kakko? Nahkiaiset? Vispipuuro?
7:31 I don't care how long the restaurant has operated, those "karelian pies" look like an absolute joke. Circular, barely cooked crust and the middle is way overcooked. Its like getting a triangle pizza in Italy that's got white crust and burned fillings. A travesty I'm sorry but wtf is that 8:55 looks somewhat like it's supposed to, although still being round for some reason
This is like 30% finnish and 70% something else, this does not touch the national foods of finland, not even close. The only famous food in this is the karelian pie, most finns dont care about vorchmach or crayfish. And yeah, karelian pie should be eaten like bread, with butter or eggbutter, it it with your hands, not with a frok and knife. This is a subpar view of our foods and cuisine, and you can tell its all about the capital Helsinki in this, its not the whole Finland, not even close.
@Kalevic Food and food culture is pretty much the same all over the world. Back then people ate what the had and now it's a local delicacy and pride. Like pizza. It was just a dough and what ever leftovers you had on top. Does not sound very appetizing.
Rapujuhla is a swedish thing and vorchmack is jewish from east Europe. And karelian pie is from Karelia which has been assimilated into modern day Finland, so I'll give you that.

Thank you. Kiitos 🇫🇮
wow, looks delicious 😍😍😋😋
Thank you for this nice video.

Yeah i have never eaten these. Never even heard about the vorschmack.
Unbelievable.

Well if the idea is to present local specialities, what did you expect? Hesburger?
@@kallump548 Maybe more common foods, shared by the majority of the Finnish people locally, not just the rich?
Why the hell are those people eating the Karelian pastries with a knife and fork?? It's a pasty, it's fingerfood goddammit!!
That caught my eye as well. Well id say its even more bread than pastry, since we eat them like bread.
Sorry but we do not use our fingers to eat. Only for crayfish and chicken wings. Europe is known for eating with knife and fork. I have never eaten a pizza with my fingers.

@@tatjanameyer4022 Finns definitely eat pastries, pizza and burgers without utensils. Some very rare weirdos don't.
@@tatjanameyer4022 Karjalanpiirakka syödään käsin. Karelian pie is eaten with hands. Greetings from finland.

Nice video❤
Very nice
my experience in savoy was my worst experience and simultaneously most expensive in any restaurants
Rapujuhlat is mostly swedish thing. Finn's dont sing Helan går but swedes do.
I used to live in Australia. Nobody used utensils when they ate hamburgers or pizza.
Yea... Pretty high society foods.
Finland is not England.
Karelian stew.. minced meat sauce.. actually, where is the finnish version of browned flour? Velli? West sourdough bred called Kakko? Nahkiaiset? Vispipuuro?
i’ve lived my whole life in finland but i have never eaten those crabs and i dont even have an idea what vorsmak is.
these are fennoswede/helsinki things
You belong to the pizza-generation?
As a Finland-Swede I don't know what "vorsmak" is either@@herselojdevevo5493
@@herselojdevevo5493No they are not.
I think vorschmack is alkupala.

I just thought that the old saying that Karelian pies look like the chef who makes them must be true.
What a surprise,Andrew,where have you been. ? Very intetresting video on the food from Fi nland. Get eating and enjoy.

@Kalevic Greyfish were commoners food. Rich people could not even think about eating "insects".
Today they are over hyped and over priced.
@Kalevic Food and food culture is pretty much the same all over the world. Back then people ate what the had and now it's a local delicacy and pride.
Like pizza. It was just a dough and what ever leftovers you had on top. Does not sound very appetizing.
And Karelian pie is not really Finnish, it's Karelian. People in western Finland didn't know of these pies before WWII.
It's a ten minute video, it's impossible to get all of our foods in that time. Crayfish is an important part for us people from the archipelago.
😊😊😊❤❤❤
Its so crazy to think that you have to boil crayfish alive
Shooting them with a 38 would be too expensive....
Rapujuhla is a swedish thing and vorchmack is jewish from east Europe. And karelian pie is from Karelia which has been assimilated into modern day Finland, so I'll give you that.

Before being an autonomous grand duchy of Russia's Empire of tsar 100 years Finland was directly a part of Sweden for over 600 years.
before that, we came here few thousand years ago, and we still have our language

I think we can all agree that food is not Finland’s forte. Great place but not for food.
If you go by national foods, maybe because they were mostly inspired by tough times. Otherwise, you're *dead* wrong.
Karelian pie, ahahahahahahaha!! That name in my language sounds very, very, VEEEERY dirty!
