COURCHEVEL SEASONNAIRES TRY FINNISH ALCOHOL and IDIOMS

Thanks to the lovely Finnish speaker Ursula we did a Finnish alcohol episode featuring Finnish liquors, Finlandia cranberry vodka, Kirsberry cherry liqueur, Laponia cloudberry, and Koskenkorva minttu (peppermint vodka), Very amusing. I bet Prime minister Sanna Marin would approve.

COURCHEVEL SEASONNAIRES TRY is your new series from 150 days of winter on KZbin. A place where workers in the French Alps try interesting alcohols (usually) for the first time. Similar to popular KZbin channels such as BuzzFeed, WatchCut, GMM & TheFineBros' React, our goal is to create content to entertain you and bring a smile to your faces.

Actually some of the idioms are wrong. "Naama kuin Naantalin aurinko" actually means you are happy!

[@150daysofwinter]

Exactly. To simplify matters I offered them a positive or negative response. They all chose the negative.

[@Finwolven]

'Naantalin aurinko' also refers to an old bisquit-type sold in Finland, which are made in Naantali and have a grinning sun face on them.

[@150daysofwinter]

I've got to say these comments are the most informative of any of my videos. definitely going to ask Ursula to do a part 2.

[@Argantonis]

@@Finwolven That’s Hangon keksi.

[@LoganHunter82]

As a Finn, and fan of british humor, this gave me a good laughs... As a matter of fact, Finnish and British humors are really the same. Really dry and ironic.

[@150daysofwinter]

I'm glad you enjoyed

[@glossy-jimin]

If Finns were given these options I feel like Minttu would get first place. I was surprised you guys were so concerned about it 😂

[@150daysofwinter]

In another video there was a similar comment about a liquorice drink. You either love it or hate it. Personally my only problem with mint vodka is, like mouthwash, sticks in your mouth and ruins anything else you drink afterwards.

[@LevisL95]

@@150daysofwinter Mmm, that's a good point. I think a good tactic would be to wash the taste off with a shot of Salmiakkikossu. Since taste of salmiakki fits better with other drinks than mint.

[@150daysofwinter]

Salmiakkikossu, wow that is a mouthful, mint followed by liquorice. You Finns have a stronger constitution than us Brits.

[@freezedeve3119]

@@150daysofwinter i am not sure how much more you need to drink after drinking that bottle of minttu....

[@150daysofwinter]

Freezed Eve drink, pass out, wake up with fresh breath. Sorted

Charlotte is truly one of a kind

[@boosterbuster2297]

Well I was disappointed... No Salty liqueurs vodka... or any other REALLY Finnish product :D

[@150daysofwinter]

In a way, so was I, but my usual online alcohol shop selection of Finnish booze was limited. No shots of fermented whale come, no Reindeer antler vodka or Santa's vintage home brew. I blame the internet!

[@boosterbuster2297]

@@150daysofwinter I just think that every non Finnish person should try infamous salmiakki vodka just because the reactions :D

[@150daysofwinter]

We did a liquorice shot (Drop shot) in a previous dutch video, with mixed results so i went in the non-liquorice direction. sorry.

[@lassemanninen4750]

Kirshberry is from Danmark, not Finland.

[@150daysofwinter]

You get 1/2 a gold star. Danish in origin but more importantly on the back of the bottle . Produced in Finland.

[@lassemanninen4750]

@@150daysofwinter Nope. It is NOT. Or you have a fake botle.

@@150daysofwinter WHERE in that you find out Finland. Cherrys don't even grow here in thou amount.

[@jahnukainen_8912]

@@lassemanninen4750well alko's website says this is a finnish product but i'm also a little bit sceptic.

[@timomastosalo]

You should taste cloudberry separately - it's a delicious berry. The liquor needs a bit more thinking: that aftertaste isn't complimenting, I agree. Plus it's too sweet.

[@150daysofwinter]

After the great response for the video there will definitely be a Part 2 next winter

[@timomastosalo]

@@150daysofwinter OK - but treat them the cloudberries au naturel! :)

[@150daysofwinter]

I'll even throw in some bread cheese

[@timomastosalo]

@@150daysofwinter Thumbs for that. PS. The cheese has actually more taste, if you heat them some. Enough that the interior heats as well, and the cut edges round a bit - don't let it become an 'omeletle' or the fat and taste escapes.

[@chefren77]

4:10 you get "perse olalla" if you drink that. Although I guess it's not impossible to get persaukinen too. Also you never go full gingerbread!

[@150daysofwinter]

By the end one of the blondes almost went fully gingerbread ;-)

[@Spugedelia77]

Se on perseet olalla

[@akitahvanainen]

And "looks like one's mother" imo is complimentary. It's complimentary usually to mother and daugher (sometimes also son lol).

[@150daysofwinter]

Thats the great think about idioms, everyone can have their own meaning. In my research the results were different.

[@FinBoyXD]

What do you mean, all of my shovels are made from gingerbread.

[@150daysofwinter]

and your house?

[@FinBoyXD]

@@150daysofwinter From shovels. It's like a lego masterpiece. Pure art!

[@akitahvanainen]

"Pissing honey" is actually like "laying golden eggs", something like filthy rich or lucky or something, so wrong again.

[@150daysofwinter]

I believe the teams who gave answers to "Lucky" gave the correct answer.

[@attesih]

Allikko is swamp pond not not duck pond maybe with correct translation you would get idiom right.

[@XWeedhunterX]

You should have had Koskenkorva, salmiakki and Jaloviina.

[@150daysofwinter]

Seems to be a popular opinion. When we can do part 2 they will be included

[@XWeedhunterX]

@@150daysofwinter Laponnia was a great touch tho. Also if you are going to get some softer drink Original Lonkero ( Long Drink) has a tradition to olympics held in Helsinki many decades ago. Cannot remember the exact year but yeah.

[@isabellahen-jones7554]

I'm just a drunk mess in the background

[@150daysofwinter]

And? You play the role perfectly

[@toinenosoite3173]

The Finn in one of the teams hasn't lived a lot in Finland, has she? Excellent video otherwise - funny as hell!

[@150daysofwinter]

She’s spent too much time in the UK

"better to worse" is not right imo. It's actually "from bad to worse".

[@150daysofwinter]

In England we say "Out of the frying pan into the fire"

[@MauriMahtava]

Finlandia Vodka is quality 1/5 and price 3/5. There is 1000x better finnish Vodkas.

[@MauriMahtava]

And now as I watched the whole video. Who the heck chose the alcohol? Those are maybe the shitties Finnish alcohol ever 😂

[@150daysofwinter]

Well first of all, thank you for watching the whole video. To your first point, I agree, I already had that brand of Vodka (small channel low budget). To your second, Yes the Kirshberry, which was pointed out by another viewer, may or may not be also made in Denmark. The Cloudberry and the Mintu is VERY Finnish. I'm limited in France by online store. If Uha every returns I will certainly try and do better for a part 2.
