[@cindel221]

Emmy is so genuinely sweet - you can tell it's not an act. She's just a good person - always completely respectful, even when she doesn't enjoy the food. She deserves to be one of bigger KZbinrs!

[@lankytor6396]

Melanie P Emmy is so kind! I love her open-minded approach to global foods!

[@chiaram.1185]

I have been going through all your videos over the past few months and I must say that you're one of my favourite people on KZbin, not just for your content but for your bubbly, honest personality. It really is refreshing to hear/see on here, and I appreciate everything you put into these videos, even if I do end up craving whatever you're eating by the end of each video! It makes me want to be more adventurous with my food, as I always thought of myself as the adventurous gastronomic type! Thank you again, keep it up!

[@chanimarie6753]

Chiara M. Mine too. I adore her going. So soft and soothing

[@kristyguest7885]

I was born in Sitka, Alaska and I still have family in Anchorage and Juneau. My mom always tells me that when I was little my favorite food was whale blubber and berries. I was also very fascinated by the stink heads but I never tried them. I have grown out of my liking of fish but I still love it whenever my dad goes on hunting and fishing trips back in Alaska and brings home Alaskan salmon to smoke. Doesn't get any better than that!!

[@gryphonshire]

Never been to Alaska, but brother-in-law goes for a couple of weeks every year to fish. He has his catch cleaned, filleted, vacuum sealed, and flash frozen to be shipped back home. I'm grateful that he shares salmon and halibut with me. Much tastier than store-bought! ;-)

[@100theDork]

One of very few channels I can watch a video on and be sure I will be educated and enjoy. Always fun and easy to watch content, thank you Emma.

[@AMATCHALATTE]

Emmy* :)

[@100theDork]

+Angelique Macahilas lol I see now, thank you Angelique.

[@AMATCHALATTE]

Atari You're welcome. :D

[@christinaflowers5866]

What is ikadakimas ????

[@AMATCHALATTE]

christina flowers Itadakimasu is very common to say before a meal in Japan, it means "I humbly receive."

[@nekoshey]

Your food-describing vocabulary is amazing! You would make a wonderful judge somewhere like on the Food Network (who I can't tell you how many times I've heard them simply describe their dishes as "it has a rich flavor." A rich flavor of what?! I must know!) XD

[@lizcastaneda5133]

NekoShey I absolutely agree the way she picks it apart for you is wonderful you can almost taste it ALMOST 😉

[@vampirealien2468]

Don't forget about the one on Iron Chef who didn't know how to use chopsticks.

[@monisolaelliott9346]

Grew up in Anchorage, Alaska. Thanks for the video.

[@romierose4737]

Whoever did your care package did an awesome job! Especially happy they put in jarred smoked fish and the crackers & the jerky & dried meat!! Everything in there looks so yummy!!

[@romierose4737]

They must be a true fan Pricey some items. Especially when it came from a gift shop. But all Alaskan made

[@Shrimpy389]

Love your videos, Emmy. They always make me hungry. Lol. I grew up in Alaska and remember Sailor Boy Pilot Bread so well!! We ALWAYS had it around the house. Never knew when we'd be going camping or fishing and pilot bread is a staple food for camping and fishing because it's so portable and if it gets a little damp, it's still good. The only thing I wish you would've had in your package is Native Alaskan foods. Muktuk is a popular one. It's whale blubber, usually eaten slightly frozen, but uncooked. They also had what the white people called Eskimo ice cream. It consisted of seal oil, (rendered seal fat) whipped to a froth and whitish, then fresh wild blueberries are added, along with a little sugar or birch syrup. Unless the people were living on the tundra where no trees grow. Trees don't grow in perma-frost. Then they would use just the sweetness from the blueberries alone. There are more native Alaskan foods,of course, but that's all I can think of right now. They dried EVERYTHING so they could sustain themselves throughout the cold, harsh winters of the far north. They ate a high fat diet, high in energy too. Of course they didn't have to worry about getting obese, they were always working it off, hunting and gathering and fishing takes care of that. Of course this was way back before non-natives were everywhere throughout the state, and before global warming too.

[@lckitten13]

Just came back from Alaska in July. Out of the 45 states I've visited, It's THE most beautiful I've seen.

[@moonimoonz]

it is better than California ?

[@lckitten13]

I've been to California and I think it is. But that's just my opinion.

[@pinkzebra008]

Agreeded. Well Colorado and Alaska so beautiful.

[@punichak]

alaska native and proud (inupiaq) happy to see this video!!

[@punichak]

i also live in the mat-su valley

[@cookiecat398]

Madeline Angel same but I’m also Yup’ik

[@justinrosander9384]

Ayyy, me too

[@luannekanayurak9454]

Why am I just now finally seeing this!? I love the ending 🤣 👀 🙌🏼

[@SuperSushiRocks]

Hey Emmy, I woke up at around 5:30 AM with really bad anxiety and a headache, I stumbled pain your videos and realized I've been watching your videos for over 2 hours. you're persona is very calming, thanks for the awesome videos

[@dontpugme]

I love salmon jerky, and the fact that salmon dark chocolate exists makes me so happy.

[@blunderful30]

Your pic is amazing xD

[@lucyinthesky1991]

I just have to say MAJOR kudos to the person who sent you this package! I think they did a great job putting a good variety together, and I enjoyed their little tidbits. You always do a wonderful job reviewing these, too. I always learn so much and end up with a desire to travel... and EAT! But question, why is it so dark in here? 😏

[@Darkshinebaby91]

the look of disappointment on emmy's face while tasting the salmon chocolate bar! 😂

[@jamesglenn745]

Hello 👋 how are you doing today

[@savannahmariades1381]

I love this channel so much. Very clean and genuine material. And Emmy. As you would say you are so stinkin cute. You brighten up my day. I also love that you give honest reviews but you make sure not to hurt anyone's feelings when you don't necessarily like something. Keep up the good work! Luv you!

[@anniinaanjuska9016]

Hi Emmy! I love how you combine international eating and things from United States! For me because I don't live in US these are amazing things, so Thank you very much! :) ps. we eat fried reindeer and mash potato with little bit sweet lingonberry jam on top :) ( in Finland)

[@kristinagillespie8369]

[@aceholeas]

Poor Alaska devoured by the mighty Emmy, rip only 49 states now.

[@toomanypetzfan]

she's eaten other states too like washington and wisconsin and several others so i think it's more like 45 states left :b

[@aceholeas]

Strawberica Lynn Mios Dios could this get any worse?

[@toomanypetzfan]

well, she is also ruthlessly eating countries

[@aceholeas]

Strawberica Lynn Who cares about other countries? Did you see the olympics? USA USA USA!!!

[@cheeseburger6592]

She's also eaten countries like India and the Philippines, we have to stop this menace!

[@veronicamichelle2231]

Gosh your voice is so relaxing and peaceful, it's literary music to my ears! Great video Em 😘 I can't wait to visit Alaska!

[@michellelindh]

I'm not feeling well so I´ve been binge watching your videos today, made me feel a lot better! Only found your channel a few days ago, so happy about it! One of my new favorite channels! ♥ Hugs From Sweden

[@JaesadaSrisuk]

It's funny how our palates change as wel grow up. A ten-year old me would've turned up my nose at any seafood; but twenty-five year-old me would dive right into that jar of salmon! All it needs is some capers and crème fraiche!

[@chisaime]

Your videos always make my day better! 💜

[@chisaime]

Why is it so dark in here?

[@dogma8538]

aaas same

[@anthonymolina7416]

佐々木ミーシャ .

[@therapeuticesthetician]

I'm from the UK & it's great to see all these different foods from around the world. Really enjoyed this video & how nicely packaged was everything!? I love little details like that.

[@hannahutah]

I love how open minded Emmy is when she try's new things!

[@chrisafiskon]

"Boy, do I love myself a good potato chip." Same, Emmy. Same.

[@surey]

Your channel was suggested in the comment section of a buzzfeed video (I believe it was The TryGuys try Danish food). I'm so glad I followed the comment to your channel. Not only is your format a lot more pleasing but you seem to be very respectful of the food and the cultures that are tied to them. Great descriptions of the items too as you try them, makes me wanna try some of the foods you've tried! Thank you Emma!

[@jbear146]

I love Alaska it's so great here 😌

[@jbear146]

I live in Alaska and the best part is camping and fishing. The worst part is the drivers

[@kaonashi2392]

+TigerVocals really that's what you think is the worst part? I lived in Alaska for 8 years and I'd say it was the worst when it was -65 in Fairbanks where I lived.

[@ryanflores2489]

well I wish I was there now cause its burning hot in NY right now

[@rxqueen6064]

+Ryan Flores it's been sooo hot here in Texas!! But we've gotten a lot of rain over the weekend and there's still more on the way which is such a great relief!!

[@jbear146]

+Taryn _xoxo good for you I've lived here my entire life and it's never been that cold. And yes I think the drivers are the worst part because I love the cold weather here.

[@bubbleycheer12]

honestly bummed she didn’t try any fireweed honey or jam!!!! One of the best Alaskan treats in my opinion.

[@Mrsgates2010]

I absolutely love being able to "Take" these journeys around the world with you! If not for you and these amazing viewers who send you all these amazing boxes, I would never know all the fun facts and what their food tastes like. Through your beautiful descriptions, I can almost taste them 😊. My Mom and Dad went on the Alaskan Northern Lights cruise once and till this day is their favorite memory.

[@Dreadpirate46]

Great video, Emmy! I cannot fathom how you don't already have over a million subscribers. We need to work on that, fellow viewers! I say we start a campaign to get Emmy to 1 million subs cause she deserves recognition for making such charming and entertaining videos. Let's make it happen!

[@Alliaaa]

i like how u dont put a lot of makeup, natural beauty is the best! and also how u describe all the food is on point! :)

[@Brokenalice]

Glad you got items MADE IN ALASKA from an Alaska resident. I made the mistake of buying Smoked Salmon and candies from tourist shops when I went on a cruise to Juneau, Ketchikan, & Sitka. Sad to come home and realize the salmon was not packaged in Alaska, and the taffy I bought was from Vermont! I knew about the Made in Alaska stickers and stayed away from the Made in China products being sold at the tourist shops, but I didn't read the labels on the food. I hope to do another Alaska cruise again and I will know better this time around.

[@spencer4hi]

Ooo no, may I ask was it Taku Nature's Fish Store?😬

[@Brokenalice]

I don't believe so. Just look for the Made in Alaska stickers (looks like 2 polar bears) when you are shopping. There is also a sticker that looks like a hand to identify crafted items from Native Alaskans.

[@spencer4hi]

+Brokenalice ooo, I see while I was there this pass July I made a few order sent to friends & family. I'm preparing to go back. Beautiful place.

[@Piclanop]

You're such a bundle of joy. Something about watching your videos is so relaxing. Thank you!

[@FutureFairytale]

These videos were the reason that I subscribed to this channel. Still my favourite, hope you will do this more regularly like in the past Emmy! :)

[@jasonisocute12345]

Love her squeaks and high pitch noises when she tastes something. cracks me up!!!

[@Telenaus]

PILOT bread oh you had a wonderful taste of ak!! i grew up having those with pb&j,or bologna & cheese. miss them soo much lol

[@JennySnowy]

Pilot bread is my jam. It is a quick base type carb for many snacks and quick on the go lunch/breakfast meals for Alaskan. It's basically what we use to eat our homemade jam or butter and we have it with tea most of the time. You can even fry it and put cooked egg and spam lol. My favorite way to eat it is with a spreadable cheese like cream cheese and smoked salmon or as a quick lunch with Chicken salad on top.

[@alexandrar634]

Alaskan born and raised! Anyone else?

[@crystynachuitt7549]

YES

[@jadajb47]

yes!

[@RoxMeisterAK]

Same!

[@Ida_Noe]

Same! ❤️Fairbanks

[@traviskillian276]

Unfortunately not. Born and raised in the dirty desert of Arizona.. :( I'd like to move to a place that actually has greenery.

[@zestymoo]

Aaahhhhhhh!!! I'm so happy to see this! I'd been considering sending some Alaskan things to you, I'm glad to see someone had the same idea! That's a really great assortment of Alaskan goodies too. Love your videos! You're so fantastic at describing whatever food you're eating, and you look so happy in every video. I'm always giddy with joy whenever I get a notification for your channel.

[@zukomomo]

It's a good thing I just ate or I'd be starving right now... yum! I've never visited, but I often browse photography sites and have seen shots that swept me away with their beauty. So amazing that out of 59 national parks, 8 are in Alaska... only California has more. This reawakens my desire to see some of them in person.

[@saellis80]

Loved this episode, I wish he would have sent you a few more things. Lived up there for 14 years, you are right Alaska is a very beautiful state but very cold in the winter.

[@Shinobi_sac]

Emmy, I don't know if you noticed after, but the salt caramel chocolate actually says the ingredients on the front of the packet, and lists it as salt, chai, orange and caramel - the "exotic, citrus flavour" you were wondering about is probably the mix of orange and chai :3

[@ernestgrass1643]

I was born and raised in alaska. That box was an amazing snap shot of some of the food. I recommend having the reindeer sausage with eggs and covered in the birch syrup😊 I also miss Pilot Bread. I can't get it on the east coast where I live now.

[@EricFoFo78]

The Pilot bread is usually eaten with butter. Native food can consist of eskimo ice cream, fermented seal flippers, dried fish, musk ox, carabou, seal fat, "mouse food" (roots stolen from mice), and spam.

[@nathanielpatrick610]

You have been my obsession recently!! I can't stop watching 😍😍

[@saradread4925]

Emmy, thank you for doing this video! I live in Talkeetna, and was overjoyed to see this, and hear your shout-out to our little village. I love your videos!

[@New_Millennium_Cyanide_Christ]

Hey Emmy! This may sound weird, but I've developed a habit to watch your videos while lying on my bed waiting for a sleep after a rough day on work and exercise. Love your channel. Cheers!

[@jerricasanchez3230]

I love these videos!! So much fun watching you try foods from all over!

[@kaonashi2392]

I lived in Alaska for 8 years, all of these items were almost always in our house for snacks! I miss them so much :(

[@Darloon97]

When it was snack time is elementary school, we would always get pilot bread as our snack. They taste really good if you dip it in tea

[@yonsugiharto6230]

Love your videos!! Very informative and it makes my mouth water!!

[@Lighterthandark88]

I moved up here to Alaska in 2008. Its a beautiful state and there is some amazing food here! I am unfortunately allergic to birch trees, so pollen season is AWFUL for me. But its an amazing state. I've been to the Ulu factory, Fairbanks, Girdwood, Seward... Lots of places and I haven't even seen most of the state still.

[@amyjones8791]

You can also soak the pilot bread in some water (not too long) and fry it like a pancake and butter and syrup and voila breakfast

[@mavismayeda7863]

That's awesome. I live here in juneau Alaska!!

[@spencer4hi]

I just visited there- BEAUTIFUL.

[@melon9856]

the capital, wow :D

[@ms.docileone]

pilot bread is great with chili, or used as a thickener for stews and soups.

[@wendymcbridemarinecorpscom8811]

Wonderful video. I love Alaska. I've been on a deployment to the Navy base there myself! I hate some of these snacks too. I remember the Grizzly chips! They were good! Thanks for the video! Blessings to you and your family! 😘♥️

[@JamesJackson-qp9uc]

go up to Alaska once a year! got an old army buddy that works on the rigs!! I love it! it's the perfect break from city life!! we always go panning for gold!!

[@rotaman8555]

Alaska resident here. This is a great video. However, most Alaskans I know would rate red salmon above silver. It is a matter of personal taste of course.

[@Gemjades]

Rotaman you are defiantly not wrong. My family rates red above king. Just tastes better.

[@Carballoca]

I remember the sailor crackers my grandmother used to buy them smear a little peanut butter or jam on them with a cup of tea the box was much smaller....lol

[@jameslefrancois461]

wow so much energy. I love it.

[@bigjake55555]

I’m so excited to see the items peculiar to Alaska. We really know a limited amount about the diet driven by ocean, temperatures so low, the available foods are driven by the weather and foods they have available any season

[@MichaelSHartman]

Visited Anchorage, and surrounding areas 30 years ago. In the city there were wild ducks, Canadian geese, and fly fishing in a town stream. The area is naturally beautiful. Reindeer meat (taste like spicy beef), and King Crab are very good. People please don't make comments about attacking Christmas, hurting Santa, or killing Rudolph.

[@Freaksoftheinternet]

Alaska seems so delicious.

[@Asertix357]

The crunch of the pilot bread sounds a lot more appetizing than the hard tack you made yourself. It doesn't sound like it's overly tough. I want to try some of these with some melted butter spread across the top.

[@BRANDIRENEBBY]

Definitely excited and proud to see my state popping up on your channel ❤️

[@nias5338]

Sailor crackers and reindeer meat have always been my favorite 😍 so happy to see food I recognize !

[@MsMOLLYKINS]

Yippee good to see you again Emmy . I have a friend in new found land I love her to bits , it takes over two months when I send her gifts but I desperately want to visit Canada / Alaska/new found land . I won't ever be able to but love watching your clips and dreaming of the countries you try xoxox

[@Cliff_Dixon_42]

Alaska is one state that I REALLY *REALLY* want to go *back* to; I was born there (my father was in the Army stationed near Anchorage at the time), but the family left when I was barely a year old (grew up in NM for the most part).

[@MargotLOVEDyan]

These are my favorite videos you do...i love vicariously tasting snacks!

[@sunpi]

your videos are so relaxing

[@caturdaynite7217]

I flew over Denali in December. The shadows from the mountains were mesmerizing. From 35000 ft.

[@Sarahbetho]

Haha! Modern Dwellers chocolate is not for everyone. It's good quality chocolate but, sometimes very, very rich much like the concept of smoke salmon chocolate. Also, chinook is pronounced like shh-in-nook lol not the typical "ch" sound but that's okay lol, it was cute how you said it. And, pilot bread is like a staple throughout Alaska, we put whatever on it for sure! lol I'm glad it seems like you enjoyed most of the Alaska themed foods.

[@funtimetv897]

Hi Emmy this vid means a lot I was born in Alaska your also an amazing person. I love your personality. Love you!!!!!!!!!

[@tshaine]

I live in Alaska and I absolutely love it here! I've never been somewhere so beautiful.

[@akjessicam]

AWESOME!! I live in Anchorage Alaska and i am soo happy our state made it in your video!!!

[@lydiakies9053]

I live on a small island in Washington, and I grew up eating Pilot Bread. It's good with soup. I also ate it with butter.

[@boa2193]

I went on a cruise to Alaska a month ago we stopped in Juneau and I saw a lot of these things Alaska is also very beautiful

[@ravenalyse9844]

I miss Alaska, I moved to Florida about a decade ago and hate it

[@scorpioninpink]

Raven Alyse Same with me. I lived in Florida for a couple of years then Ioved back to Montana because I hated it there.

[@nigelcymon7743]

Raven Alyse of course you hate it. You moved from the most beautiful state in America to the armpit of our country.

[@Ari_elf95]

I love watching Emmy after a long day. So relaxing :)

[@karilebtchybtch8459]

Ever heard of fireweed jam? Not sure where to get it but I hear it's delicious. Some locals make it mostly over the summer.

[@EudaemoniusMarkII]

great video as always! love Alaska!

[@Amber29]

Love your videos! I lived in Juneau for five years! Only day we ever missed school was because we had bears on the playground.

[@EllaAshlin]

I'm a vegetarian and I have a pet fish, but oh my god that salmon sounded so good! You described it so well, I could almost taste when I used to eat salmon before becoming a vegetarian! Why is it so dark in here?

[@fatimatino]

I'm from Kodiak, Alaska and I was so pleased with this video! 😊

[@memykyoko]

I was born and raised in Alaska and currently in Okinawa.

[@kaseysouu]

Her voice....is so calming :3

[@lisab.7339]

We went on an Alaskan cruise for our honeymoon 34 years ago. It was lovely! Your video makes me want to go back Emmy:)

[@JoJoLu1231]

Watching this at night and this is making me so hungry 😂😂. I love your videos!

[@ciqineq]

Yea! Glad most of it was yummy. Choc and salmon - I was too chicken to try it myself. Brave soul you are. I hope other Alaskans send you interesting snacks. Thanks Emmy!

[@MapleLoveCosplay]

The endings always make me smile or giggle :D

[@annaliseell2476]

I took a cruise to Alaska last year! It's so beautiful there. 😍🗻❄️

[@victoriao4988]

she makes everything look so good😋

[@Ronhda1]

I love watching. Your voice is so soothing.

[@alexandrasteves3847]

The best canned food I've ever had was from Alaska. The cruise to Alaska was amazing, Emmy you have to go!

[@jackiemullinix1961]

I would love to try the salmon and chocolate bar

[@Kingofconquer69]

I love your videos and love your amazing voice! Sooo smooth

[@BashMonkeyRC]

P.S. sockeye is also known as kokanee. and the one salmon that is capable of being landlocked (not needing to travel to the ocean and back as part of their spawning cycle)

[@beadybaby]

I've had all of these, but you can't beat those birch candies and pure birch syrup (and smoked salmon of course)

[@kelissialephew4960]

ur so close to 1m subs ^-^ i cant wait,GOOD LUCK EMMY :**
