I’m going to try making these this weekend and even try the egg butter. It seems really weird, like scrambled eggs on a pie. Lol. But I’m going to try it.
@@eldakka2163 Jos on nälkä ja on hyviä piirakoita niin maistuu kyllä hyvältä noinkin. Mutta en tiedä sitten olisiko nykyään ihan hyvä laittaa vaikka hieman sitä munavoita siihen kun ei mitään pula-aikaa eletä.
Newfoundlander married to a Finn. The people, food and country are truly fab. We lived in Helsinki for two years. It is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Back on "the Rock" now, which is what we Newfoundlanders call our Island home. Hubby loves it here as much as we love it there.
Hi Sam. So wonderful that you got to visit Finland. I love all the food you were tasting but my favorite spot was that fish counter with all them yummy fishies. I hope you enjoy the sauna ! :)
Lihis is best warm with condiments and maybe with a nice sausage like ryynimakkara. Karjalanpiirakka is great with egg butter but I love it with hot mustard and emmental cheese. Try!
2:23 NOBODY eats lihapiikakka or "lihis" cold or nothing inside of them. Also cold karjalanpiirakka is not nearly as god as warmed up and having some butter and slices of eggs on top.
Yes. He should have bough lihapiirakka from grill. It's on a different level, if you warm it up and add at least mustard. Karjalanpiirakka with butter or with smashed eggs and butter is awesome. Maybe the best Finnish food.
Yea, the bones in muikku will be quite annoying if the fish is too big. I like them very small... Though deep fried proper sized muikku is one of the best things in finland.
Sam you have got to go to Germany! Germany in the summer and while the Christmas markets are open. The street food is amazing. I remember Oktoberfest like it was yesterday... Years ago btw LOL! But even just the roasted chicken was so good it was silly. I ate half a chicken with chips (like steak fries) in minutes without even thinking about it. There's a restaurant in downtown München (Munich) close to Hofbräuhaus that is absolutely amazing. I had the best steak with mushroom and pepper gravy there. Not to mention the breakfast served at the hotel which makes US hotels look silly. The Christmas markets are another thing entirely. I pray that I get to go back eventually just got these. Yum yum yum
Kind of a shame that you only went to the market for food. It's nice to get the stuff you got, sure, but there are so many amazing restaurants in Helsinki you could have shown. Also kind of a shame that you were only in a tiny part of Helsinki, there's a lot more to see than just Pohjoisesplanadi, Senate Square and Kauppatori/halli and that area in general.
Oh, that's great to hear! :) I see people on Instagram or wherever all the time visiting Helsinki and as I am from here, it always bothers me to see that people only go to that area!
@@oraalid0nitsi He is Finnish actually; there is a minority group of finnish-swedes in Finland (maybe 5% of the population), with some small towns where they only speak Finnish. But no matter what language they speak, they are Finnish citizens, same as everybody else. Because of this Swedish speaking population all Finns learn Swedish in school, as a second language, along with English.
Dude, I know you are doing your best promoting their food and I can see that. I would like to visit finland someday. But for me to live there is another story. Nothing Good ever comes out of cold and I kinda got the idea of the old world food culture. no thanks.
So Sam was eating muikku (vendace, Coregonus albula) fish outdoors. Then at the Old Marketplace lihis or lihapiirakka (meat pie) which needs heating! and a couple of hot dog sausages inside with mustard, ketchup, and cucumber relish. Then karjalanpiirakka or Karelian pasty made of rice porridge and rye pastry. Then reindeer sandwich. Esplanadi or esplanade street is divided in southern and northern sides with the Esplanadi Park in the middle. Finns just call it Espa.
The reindeer sandwich didn't have bread, it was actually the same meat pie (lihapiirakka, lihis) that was just filled with all the stuff. That is why it had rice and minced meat inside too.
Good vid this is on my bucket list Finland....my mother was Finnish American we had plans to go to Finland but she got sick...looks beautiful she had family in Vaasa...Kittos
I'm a Finn living in southern Sweden and just visited Helsinki a couple of days ago. Did you know that that very market place fills out with vintage American cars on the first Friday of each month during the summer after the market closes? Great footage, you guys captured a lot of cool buildings in a short time! There are about 600 Art Noveau and Jugend style buildings in Helsinki city center...never get tired of them!
Oh god so much for customer service again in Finland. Dear lord. You get FREE advertisement for your amazing shop and you scold people for filming? Come on. Btw, I'm Finnish too. Finns need to stop behaving like this it's embarassing.
Not everyone likes to be filmed, it's just the way it is, and I'm unsure, considering the great spot where that shop already is, that she needed free advertising from a video with (at the moment) 14.5k views. Not to mention that a great many of the viewers will never visit the country, nevermind that particular building with that particular shop. Just saying...
You should always ask before filming (or photographing) someone! He should have blurred her face in editing because she said she didn't want to be filmed, not just complained about it.
I've been everywhere you visited! (Yes, I have a Finnish name, but I still am a visitor in Finland when I go there). I wish I could have been a tourguide for you! Definitely a +1 for @314ngu's comment about egg butter (munavoi) for the karjalanpiirakka!
it doesn't have that many shops, mostly in both ends, people rarely go there through the (narrow) park :) And it's usually shadowed - sun shining from the south, so the buildings the sunlight mostly.
M.F.Luder Vitsiks mä sitä arvelinkin. Mutta koska se liitty turisti-infoon, lisäsin siihen turisteille sopivaa matskua, en vain vastannu sinulle :) Hauskaa kevään odotusta sulle!
It's pretty simple. Varies a bit of course, but 2dl mayonnaise 1dl cream about 3 gloves of garlic and half a teaspoon of mixed pepper powder. Sometimes there's some chives mixed in. Sorry it's on metric. I didn't have time to run the amouts through a converter.
Finland is the coldest country in the World (Except maybe Iceland, which sucks all year round). In every other country you can find areas, which are warmer than ANY point in Finland.
@@npineapple3077Public place = space that is generally open and accessible to people. So you say to me that market hall is not a public place? Try to read some legislation.
