Best Food to Try in Finland | Part 2

[@laurachambersdance]

To everyone complaining that Kalakukko isn't a cake, the word cake doesn't necessarily mean a sweet cake as in 'kakku'. They have a thing in the UK called fish cake and I would call it 'kalapihvi' in finnish because its savoury and has potato and bread crumbs in it, but they call it cake.

[@heynadine]

wondered where this went! Re-upload?

NADINE DEL VALLE PORTUONDO

[@Shirlokki]

***** I'm from finland

[@valtterivatanen]

Timantti Mies niinkö? :D

[@Isarnan]

A real pleasure watching when these tourists are really learning about the culture with appreciation! A real epitome of respected tourists.

[@tiemoe]

I was shocked when I saw you guys at the akkavaara pizza because I live in Salla and that is the main place for me to go eat because there is no other food places in salla

[@hopscotchtheglobe]

Tressu ' It was delicious too! What's your favourite pizza there?

[@tiemoe]

Kristen Sarah probably Kebab, extra cheese and mayonese

[@evankelista]

+Tressu ' Pohjolan paras pitseria!

[@tiemoe]

evankelista kyllä :D

[@davidkelly132]

I rarely comment on anything, but this serie is so well made that I have to recommend it for my friends. Keep it up and nice to see you guys testing out something that I havent even realized.

[@batchnumber77]

Thank you for great two hours of watching and experiencing Finland. Some of the things you did were so unique most of us native finns will never get to experience. I welcome you back in winter time :)

[@Pioneeri]

I love coffee made in a coffee pot so much that you just tasting it gave me goosebumps. Rarely drink it though nowadays.

[@panokset]

So nice that you guys enjoy your time in here !!

[@panokset]

yep ;D

[@Sacrificiums]

***** Visit Lapland, you are gonna love the scenery. I am myself from Northern Finland...

[@TheAether35]

***** i was wondering did you guys try out Sauna or Salmiakki. those things are finlands finest

[@wafaa6169]

You have put a SMILE on my face . MERCI

[@EllamyDOm]

Love your happy attitude! ^^ And nice to see that you like Finland!!

[@onr-o1h]

Hey guys! Thank you for your videos, you have a nice vibe going on in your videos and they're very fun (and I bet informative) to watch! Cheers!

[@finnishvalt]

Loved your Finland series. I hope you'll come again someday I'd love to see more since it's always exiting to see your own country from foreign perspective :) gained a sub!

[@Manusmusic]

Great videos, enjoyed watching the sceneries and dreaming of summer. Thanks :)

[@hopscotchtheglobe]

Manu Thanks Manu! Hope it didn't make you too hungry :)

[@Suomaki]

Kalakukko is not a cake. Its more like bread with fish inside it.

[@Lojaali16]

Next time you visit here, you should try something i love. That is: "Karjalanpiirakka"

[@Tude1231]

I saw a video of someone eating Finnish candies and ended up on your channel and i love it! Cheers from Helsinki :)

[@keeelane]

you should try out mustikkakukko. it's blueberries baked inside a rye dough and it's usually served with heavy vanilla cream or ice cream. probably one of the best desserts i've ever tasted anywhere in the world.

[@Axt3r]

Who the hell told you that Kalakukko is like cake? It's literally just rye bread with meat and fish baked inside it.

[@hopscotchtheglobe]

Axt3r A couple of the locals in town told me to try is and they called it fish cake.

[@aprilpelman824]

Not cake. Stop talking to people who don't speak English.

[@aprilpelman824]

Kala means fish. Kukko literally means rooster.

[@Kakriainen]

Kristen Sarah Kalakukko (fish rooster) is more lie fish pie, but absolutely not cake. Maybe somebody got confused, because the word kukko is very similar to kakku, which means cake.

[@RealJessiJackalope]

Kristen Sarah Haven't you heard of fish cakes/crab cakes? "Cake" doesn't refer to sweetness.

[@Travizeo]

That market looked like my kind of place!! :) Great video *****

[@DaBoomz13]

As someone already said, Kalakukko is not particulary a cake. But anyways, it's one of my favourite foods. Btw nice video of course!

[@AnnihIris]

I'm happy of that when you enjoy finland food/ drinks. Because some people what aren't from in finland are so negative of finnish food. I'm from finland.

[@hopscotchtheglobe]

Annih, Iris We enjoyed it! Especially the chocolate from Fazer haha

[@moonavesterinen2126]

have to tell you: Finland, every city has its own food, such as in Tampere isblack sausage,Savonlinna lörtsy. In addition, a variety of national dishes like Roast Karelia, Karelian pies, and so on. Also, the world-known fast-food chains are popular here too. Subway, burgers and such. There are also a lot of different kinds of fish that can not find anywhere else in the world. Muikku is one of them. Reindeer meat is eaten most in the north. In the south, Moose is quite common. fazer is the most famous chocolate maker. Panda comes second. We also have a national alcohols, such as koskenkorva

[@ThailandNoobie]

Sautéed reindeer and mashed potatoes, thats my favourite every time when i go to work to lapland, So I strongly recommend to try that one. Some places they serve dish with pickle and i dont understand why, its not good combination at all. Leipäjuusto beside coffee = brilliant

[@zerkiSoul]

Oh goash, I never thought I'd fell in love to a youtuber. Especially while you were walking down the street with a beer because you can!

[@Kaapo_N]

and when you are coming back to finland go check saimaa it is the biggest lake in finland.

[@HYBER1]

Kalakukko is so dry that its hard to eat, but when you put butter on it, it tastes MUCH better and its easier to eat, like bread

[@beastgamer3966]

that conjac was meaby jaloviina?

[@ThailandNoobie]

BeastGamer In Finland we dont call Jaloviina as cognac, so if you order cognac you get cognac not Jaloviina =)

[@erilassila409]

When did you visit Salla? The restaurant Akkavaara has a new Turkish owner nowadays and they have started serving kebabs etc. I live in Salla but I'm moving south to Oulu next month.

[@KossiTheGreat]

gonna try the torttu :DD

[@Floretsu]

Next time you guys should taste some salmiakki and of course salmiakki-chocolate! And you should visit finnish archipelago. big up for you guys!

[@Dernelicious]

you are lovely people

[@fattatoid595]

im finnish but i have ever tried reindeer pizza. :D

[@ThePetezz]

I love watching foreigners visiting my country. :) Hope you guys had a nice time here! Are you planning visiting here again? If so, come to Oulu. :P

[@PVaris]

you need to try mustikkakukko

[@hi_mymymy]

+Kristen Sarah where can I try that coffee, brewed over open fire? Tuntsan?

[@newera478]

6:02 About those wooden cups (a.k.a. kuksa) you drank the coffee from: They have a very old tradition behind them. You shouldn't buy one for yourself, they are meant to be given as gifts to someone important to you. Although nowadays many people tend to buy those cups for themselves too because they don't know this old slowly fading tradition. Not the cheapest cups but they last practically forever. Edit: You actually explained it correctly in one of your other video. You guys seem to know a lot of Finland's culture :D

[@corpsebrideemilie69]

I want to go to Finland

[@siirisalmi5656]

what the hell was that 'cake' you ate 05:02 never seen that even tho i am finnish

[@violameinander6009]

The kalakukko that you had looked very very different from what I am used to eating.. I feel like you got cheated on that one :D

[@Mojova1]

Is it typical in NA to eat food only with your fork? Just curious. :)

[@kurkkumoporacingv2781]

i love finnish food and i can eat it when i want;)

[@malibizzy4u]

She is so pretty

[@lallavenusian]

I'm from Finland! :)

[@MrHirska]

I started drinking coffee when i was like 8-9 years old. :D

[@fayes1972]

arghhhhhhh!!!! you are killing me!

[@lassirautiainen8660]

You are supposed to first take coffe then right after the konjakki :D

[@melrakan]

You should've visited Turku(on the western coast) for the best pizzeria in Finland.

[@tulilintu]

You mean Dennis, don't you?

[@melrakan]

Indeed!

[@inkahuotari9253]

can you tell where you were that first Place? looks pretty known

[@muumimamma880]

Pizzeria akkavaara. luultavasti

[@Nasse83]

Who ever told you kalakukko is fish cake lied. Its fish baked inside a type of bread, you can get versions made with bacon and ham or potatoes and pigs fat and i much prefer the non fish versions.

[@janhoin]

"Vielä on mahdollisuus käydä maistamassa männynkuorijuomaa!" :DD

[@janhoin]

3:06 some guy in the background.. :) in english: "The last chance to taste the pine bark drink." whatever that is :D

[@vilbe4534]

+Jacked-Bill no vittu pääkii

[@tildaleikola1042]

I'm so happy that you enjoyed so much! And have to say the "kalakukko" is not my favourite!

[@alexneaz3328]

Tilda Leikola finland is suck swedish best ^

[@salvia5812]

No it's not ^_^

[@siirisalmi5656]

+alex neaz fuck off svedupelle ^-^

[@finnsalsa9304]

Great video! When you said "kokko" it sounded like "koko". Try to say that k as a double k. Like this: Ko-kko. So it's not like "koko" or "kok-ko".

[@AyresAlice]

I watched the first part and then this. Thought to myself... Hm, that place looks familiar. Are they still in Helsinki? Oh, well all places look the same in Finland. Then I realised you were in Salla! How did you get there? My father grew up in Salla. I thought no one knew about that place.

[@timomastosalo]

I think they shouldn't call kalakukko ('fish rooster' :) ) a cake - it's dark bread filled with fish, and some meat. It was a traditional travelers food, mostly in the Eastern Finland.

[@Emailalaal]

that litlle fish is called muikku

[@fannyh9601]

I live in Salla YAYY

[@erikwikinggrena5375]

how long did you stayed in Finland?

[@ProScooterBail]

Are you guys still in finland ?

[@alarjak]

On se hyvä että joku ulkomaalainenkin pitää suomalaisesta ruuasta...

[@TheMondeno]

I love it that you say everything nice about Finland :) I personally love this country and I hope you enjoy it too :) But I have heard that the language in here is difficult, I would like to hear your opinion about it :)

[@polkkakoira]

***** next time when you go to finland you should try Hartwall Jaffa Its very good (and i know it because the oast factory is in Lahti and i am living here :D)

[@polkkakoira]

*the LAST HARTWALL factory and Hartwall makes sodas

[@KossolaxtheForesworn]

if my memory serves me, we Finns drink more coffee than USA and Canada combined. thats pretty well from country this small.

[@eemeliniemela8686]

My home place is finland and ny home is ranua

[@Ravehoppe]

Hi kalakukko is not cake :) its more like bread where fish is inside ready. Lumberjacks have used it as food in times cause it gives proteine and keeps hunger away long time

[@iina8063]

***** I came to tell you (too) that kalakukko isn't a cake. It is a rye bread with fish inside. I use butter with it (and yes, I like it). :)

[@Ravehoppe]

***** i do like it :D It good hangover food. Its best just after taken from oven. All you need is some real butter and glass of cold milk with it.

[@ottomaan1]

Try koti-pizza it's best!

[@hopscotchtheglobe]

+Otz GT where is that?

[@hopscotchtheglobe]

+Kristen Sarah is that a type of pizza or a place

[@ottomaan1]

Type to Google maps koti-pizza, Tuusula, Suomi. ITS on tuusula ( ;

[@ottomaan1]

And its place

[@strdust95594]

when i watch this, i want eat all those food :3

[@MarsWien]

Kalakukko is a fish PASTRY. just to clear that up :)

[@House_of_Caine]

+MarsWien And from what I see in the video, what they are eating has nothing to do with real Kalakukko, definitely not a Muikkukukko

[@markusosenius5317]

I just add whiskey to my tea. Sometimes. Mostly I add honey to my tea.

[@sokeri8934]

Who told you kalakukko is a cake?

[@Klingitin]

***** its like a pie

[@polkkakoira]

it used to be bread whit fish inside it

[@keeelane]

***** it's not cake and it's not sweet at all. it's supposed to be sour and salty...it's really heavy "manly" food. not a cake, not a pie...it's like a dry roasted pasty with fish inside or something. not sure exactly what to call it.

[@teemuvayrynen1298]

***** It's old travellers and rural workers dish. Basicly rhye bread with small fishes and bacon in it. It survives very well long times. In my area local women send them to their loved ones who fought in front lines along with letters etc because it doesn't go bad that easily... Now-a-days you sually eat with butter.

[@keeelane]

Teemu Väyrynen Finns forever obsessing about The War and sharing war stories no one else cares about, sigh. This is not specifically wartime food. This was originally just normal working man's food. I think you meant this food PRESERVES for long periods of time as in it doesn't go bad. Surviving refers to a living thing.

[@Jumal_Veleho]

Kalakukko ain't that great imo, it's like when done well it's somewhat eatable but it's not like I'd eat more than one bite of it :D I've tried it multiple times but it's not getting any better :p

[@JuupelisJaapelis]

I don´t think kalakukko as a cake at all! It´s more like sweet bread with fish in it, ooor as you quite nicely said; "like a tuna sandwich" ;3

[@Torvain]

I haven't never tasted kalakukko and im from finland and sorry my english

[@VicariousReality7]

I really wonder what fish tastes like

[@TheXnocf]

im from Finland, i have never eaten reindeer, like most finns.. But you got to try moose meat.

[@chad7431]

Hey, really enjoyed watching this:) if you guys plan on visiting finland again you should definetally visit finlands southern city Hanko 150 km southwest from Helsinki, hit me up in case and i will show you guys around in my hometown:)!

[@A-Oreal]

I like your stuff! You made me subscribe and its your fault! Ha ha! I love travel Vlogs!

[@alekseiduleba9508]

Guys, it would be greate you to add subtitles to videos!!! Thanks!!!

[@hopscotchtheglobe]

+Алексей Гурылев Working on this for all the videos.

[@Jatezzzi]

+Алексей Гурылев Why ?

[@alekseiduleba9508]

+Jarmo Maltio because some people from other countries wath videos and it would be easier to understand for whose who don't now English very well

[@martti8641]

muikkuja perkele

[@ThankUYoutubeForChangingMyName]

2:49 It's not a cake.

[@Mrbilist]

Heti alko tekee mieli silakkaa :3

[@doomedangel90]

I really miss my Greatgrandma's Finnish cheese

[@Tuketin99]

kalakukko is not a cake!! xD its more like pie:p

[@wafaa6169]

is it an expensive country

[@newera478]

A W Slightly above the average European country. Gasoline and alcohol are a bit costly due to heavy taxation on them. Still I wouldn't change living in Lapland to any other place. We can keep the living costs down here by hunting, fishing and foraging berries/mushrooms. And those who own forest can get their wood to warm up house during winter.

[@wafaa6169]

B

[@wafaa6169]

But life is not about eating only. I think it is time consuming to eat, so it is to do anything else

[@newera478]

A W Valid point there.

[@johanssonfin]

Kirkkovene mainittu, järvessä tavataan!

[@VladKepes]

NONONNONONONOOOO don't put the cognac in the coffeeeee! Aah, too late. No no, you take a sip of coffee and then a sip of cognac or vice versa! :) Another funny cultural difference I noticed was that you ate your pizza with your hands. Usually in Finland at a 'real' sit-down restaurant you eat with your utensils. :) Already your steak-style knife and fork indicate you should eat with them. But no biggie, it's not a faux-pas.

[@jennifer1329]

They had adapted in another way. Here in the States they could have shared one pizza; her toppings on one side and his on the other. In Finland everybody orders their own.

[@KK19825]

I would rather translate kalakukko as a fish pastry or fish pie than a cake.

[@KK19825]

***** Oh yes, but it might be more of an acquired taste :) Most common type of fish used in it vendace, sometimes perch. You should try smoked or fried vendace as well, just melts in your mouth :)

[@Corhone]

***** I love kalakukko (and "lihakukko", which is meat and fat instead of fish). I put lots of butter top of it and it tastes 2 times better :D

[@PiuwPiuwChannel]

finnish rarely drink different kind of coffees. just normal black coffee.

[@leomessidz]

it seems like every place u have been too guys is empty lool were any people with you in theses weard restaurant or pizzerias or watherever ??

[@RyuakiraX]

In here, 5 million people. That should explain it.

[@leomessidz]

yes ^^

[@Adamson11x]

Well, during the summer finns tend to leave the cities and spend their time in their summerhouses...Usually by the lake.And yes, the population is just 5,5 million...so, there U go :)

[@RyuakiraX]

Adamson11x 5,3 to be exact. Summerhouse or mökki is a common place to celebrate the midsummer also.

[@The_Old_Dog]

kalakukko is not a cake!!! it's a fish filled bread (the best i could describe it...)
