Hi guys, thanks for joing, have you been to Finlnad? Have you tired finnish food? What did you like? Was there anything new or interesting for you in this video?
Well, yeah. I live here. :) Was nice to see your visiting Turun Linna and after that Cafe Art. It's my home city, you should come and visit when it's summer. Turku is amazing then when it's warm and riverside is full of people and different markets if there are theme days. Räiskäle/lettu is what you should try when in Finland. It's like a thin pancake, kind of greasy (compared to other countries) but amazing. You can have it with jam and cream or some other things. Usually you can smell those places like 50 metres away.
Finally a video that shows traditional Finnish food done properly, I have seen many UA-camrs tasting food from my homeland complaining about the food but the problem is they are eating pre-packaged foods from a factory. Kiitos :)
Thanks for another outstanding video. What I like best in Finnish food is general and that is the freshness and purity, the lack of preservatives and additives. What I like best in particular are rhy bread in it’s many forms and salmon soup, barley porridge, korvapuisto and anjovoisruisleipe- anchovy on rye with egg butter- yummy,
Thank you Wayne! And thank you for sharing your favourite dishes yummy 😋 are you in Finland 🇫🇮 now? If so please enjoy an extra serving of rye bread on my behalf 😉
You don't need to add a line to switch a row mid word, only thing it does is makes it harder to read, the text adjusts itself so there's literally no reason to do that, basically idk what you even wrote.
There would be a lot to say about berry dishes, Berries are cooked in many ways, they are very abundant and varied, There are fresh juices, slightly thicker soups to be eaten hot or cold accompanied by liquid, thick or whipped cream, The berries are also there as main ingredients, in the manufacture of syrup, airy mousses, smooth creams..... The traditional Sami breads adopted by the whole population, made from flour or potatoes, "Rieska", are excellent for making toast or sandwiches, the Rieska are similar to other breads based on the same methods, it is a bread dough not very different originally cooked on a hot stone, a pan, it is between tortilla, nan, fougasse. There are dishes specific to Finland, such as the use of "Terva", vegetable pine tar and salty licorice "Salmiakki". One thing I miss in France, where there is "pig blood sausages" that I can't eat because it's too fatty for me, is the pancakes and cakes made with calf's blood, which come from the traditional recipe. made from reindeer blood, today there are also brownie versions in Finland, As a child I ate a hearty breakfast in Finland, the most important meal traditionally in Finland, I miss this traditional breakfast, blood pancakes, marinated salmon and herring, rye breads, berries in many forms like the "Veli" and "Vispipuuro".....
That was extremely interesting 😉 thank you so much for sharing! I miss a lot of things from Finland also now that I am abroad especially blue cheese and sweet black bread.
I pick berryes in forrest freely and eat then with my oatmeal in breakfast...so good. Cinnemonroll, salmon and chicken soup so good and karielianpie with butter, cheese pickels..so good. I have padpacking and sonmany good food in so many countries...be proud of youre food!!
3:15 I don't have confirmed source but my grandmother told me the origins of the name. So the name "Korvapuusti" comes from olden days in Finland where Korvapuusti was really rare treat. Because it was so rare mom's would lure missbehaving kids to them and give them "Korvapuusti"(pinch from the earlobe) as a punishment. I'm not sure if it is true.
My favorite finnish dish has got to be the Vety. It's a steamed meatpie (preferrably bought from Kesämäen leipomo, a bakery in Lappeenranta) stuffed with a sliced boiled egg, ham, ketchup and mayonnaise, although it can also sometimes be served with pickles and/or mustard in there aswell. Vety is a very popular dish in the city of Lappeenranta, a fairly large city in the south-east of Finland. I seriously recommend trying it out, unless of course you're vegetarian or vegan.
@@ATWKate No problem! I always appreciate non-finnish yt channels shedding light on my country's cultures, especially when they have experienced them themselves. So, im a word, thanks for the video! :D
@@ATWKate No need to make it too hard, 'makkara' is sausage in finnish, and 'korvapuusti' is cinnamon bun in finnish, as well as 'laskiaispulla' is easter bun. (infact supposed to be the last treat before Lent)
We have a lot of berries. Lingonberries, blueberries, raspberries, and of course strawberries from my home region! and hilla and cranberries. Finland has its own specialties by region. Try Lapland and restaurants serving food from the Karelian region
Thank you so much for sharing Roni 😊 I love berries and you are very lucky to live in such a region! Go Finland 🇫🇮 I’m planning to visit this summer so will have my share of berries 😉
This was interesting to watch and was well done. I lived in Finland for about 7 years and am also married to a Finn. Food is definitely driven very much by culture and if you are coming from a culture where spices are used regularly and fresh greens are more prevalent, Finnish food definitely lacks those elements. However, what is local in Finland is usually quite fresh as you stated and which I appreciated while there. Also, a food worth mentioning in my opinion, although not vegetarian, is muikku (in English, vendace). I guess the closest thing I would compare them to is a sardine.
Hello Elli 😀 thank you so much for sharing your opinion about the video, was a pleasure to read! I guess jam thing could vary from region to region, back then I was in the vicinity of Lapland and there jam was added by some, myself included 😂 but maybe its a bit unorthodox, I am no expert
Atleast with liver casserole jam or (lingon)berries are a common thing, but as Kate said it varies a lot from region to another and depends on the harvest of berries. In northern parts of Finland blueberry soup/jam with potato mash is regional treat.
I forgot to mention that I am from Suonenjoki, a Finnish strawberry town near Kuopio and Jyväskylä. We belong to Northern Savonia, to be more precise, to Inner Savonia. Between Southern and Northern Savonia
A few delicious finnish desserts to try: mustikkapiirakka(blueberry pie), raparperipiirakka(rhubarb pie) and omenapiirakka(apple pie). There is a lot of versions of these pies and also a lot of different berries and fruits if you're into trying out or improve your skills on DIY baking at home.
Hi there! Korvapuusti is a translation of the Swedish name 'örfil', used by Swedish-speaking Finlanders. In neighboring Sweden they call the bun 'kanelbulle', cinnamon bun. 'Örfil' means a slap on the ear (ör, öra, is the same word as ear in English). Örfil and korvapuusti are translations of the French word 'giffle', meaning just that, to box someone on the ear. A Swedish brand named Pågens Gifflar, also sold in Finland, actually consists of mini-sized cinnamon buns. One theory about the origin of the name is that the buns have the same shape as the hairdo with two 'buns' of hair over each ear that was popular a long time ago - and can still be seen - in several European countries, mostly but not exclusively, in the German-speaking regions.
Mistake. Blinis are salty pancakes. The batter is made of buckwheat and wheatflour, melt butter, eggs and cream and milk. Blinis are fried in plenty of butter and they are served with local red caviar, sour cream, chopped onion, mushroom salad, pickled beetroot and pickled small cucumbers. Very rich but good. In addition to blinis which are eaten wintertime, usually febr and march, there are pancakes which are thinner than american pancakes. You eat pancakes all year round, with jam and whipped cream. A traditional thursday lunch or dinner is peasoup and pancakes for desert.
Some times we use those blinis as savory dish..almost like tacos. Filling them with whatever one wants..does not matter are you meat eater or vegetarian. So tasty 🥰🥰🥰
I really like to cook in the oven some rye bread with cheese and maybe some sausage or whatever toppings i got. Onion would probably be very good and bell pepper as well but i hate bell peppers so not for me, i think redbeets would go well, also maybe jalopenos because they're something i actually kinda like coz a bit spicy. The thing i like the most is the crunchiness and it's not even a brick when you bite it, also it's kinda like a quick thing you might do for a breakfast or in the evening.
For vegan side I would also recommend nyhtökaura which is bean and oat protein based meat substitute. I actually even like härkis and nyhtökaura if they're seasoned properly if not they're kinda bland. There is also fallero from s-market only which is a falafel substitute from different ingredients. Personally those were the foulest tasting food I've eaten in a while. Dog loved those though. 😂 Mifu is vegetarian,haven't tried that so can't say anything about it.
Hey Jen! Thank you so much for your recommendations I think I have tried all of them, and loved it 😊 Finland has an amazing selection of vegan options in my experience the best of all. So it is easy and truly is a pleasure to be a vegan 🌱 in Finland 🇫🇮 so as I often say go Finland 🇫🇮
One of my absolute favorite foods is "siskonmakkarakeitto" or "sister's sausage soup", also I can't believe you made a Finnish food video without mentioning salmiakki! How dare you!
Siskonkorvsoppa is one of my favorites too. The name has nothing to do with 'sister', though. Siskonkorv is a type of sausage, korv is the same as makkara in Finnish.
Да тут так много всякого вкусного, прочего и разного. Одни вкусняшки вокруг летают к себе созывают. Однако любимейшие это блинчики, c ними всегда сплошное веселье и гулянья под первыми лучами солнца. Возможно с раннего детства сохранилась особая ассоциация послужившая приятным воспоминаниям о Масленице. "Катанья в санях запряженными лошадьми, передягивания каната, Столбы с Бонусами, Ярмарки, Огненные Каретные Кольца сказывающиеся с Горки в речку" Да и не только, кашу всегда съем, если раз лежит без внимания и йогурт попить люблю натощак.
Finally a video that shows great Finnish dishes done right, I see a lot of people trying food from my homeland on UA-cam videos but they’re eating that pre-packaged store bought factory made crap. Thank you for showing what Finnish food looks like.
korvapuusti is probably the original name and it became to mean a slap because the bun looks like a swollen ear. just like "weiner" was first and AFTER the fact people started to associate it to something to something else.
You made it - Thanks heaps Kate - Yet another exceptional video - Let me know about that email id whenever you have the time alright - Tried a few times but couldn't find it unfortunately - Hope you have an incredible day
