I ATE ONLY FINNISH FOOD FOR 24 HOURS (being in Russia)

[@hietalamari1301]

If you would visit an average countryside family in finland and join our dinners, you would probably get some boiled potatoes, some meat (pork, fish, chicken or cow) with sauce. As salad most finns like to eat lettice, tomatoes, cucumber etc. Of course there are some more modern and more international foods but this was just an average example from a 46-year mother from countryside of Finland. Your meals were quite nice too, though. Have a nice day! ☀️

This is quite similar to Russian countryside dinners! Have a nice day too☺️

[@jnnknnn9244]

Nice video, I might try the same with the Russian dishes: begin the day with a cup of strong Russian style tea, then some borsch or maybe rassolnik, pickeld cucumbers, pelmeni, kvass and a little bit vodka. Mmmmm. 😋

Treat yourself! :)

I keep miscrowave popcorn in my closet so that I don't buy crisps. I'll go by the crisps shelf in the store thinking I'll get some but then I remember I have popcorn back home so I don't need to. Then when I get home I don't make the pop corn, and I haven't bought the crisps. Rinse and repeat. Saves me a lot of money, I like to think.

[@AlenaTalks]

That’s an interesting routine😅

LOL about coffee making 😂 All the best from Finland and keep safe and healthy 🤗

[@AlenaTalks]

Thanks☺️

Hi Alena! Nice video as always 😀I'm glad that you succeeded in your food challenge 👍. My favorites were karelian pies, Kismet and Laitilan Kukko, however I usually prefer lager. On the other hand, pinaattikeitto is horrible. I can't eat it at all.

[@AlenaTalks]

I guess people either like spinach or hate it :)

[@freddan997]

That accidental burp when you said shit was hilarious 😂

[@AlenaTalks]

It wasn’t a burp, it was the sound of rage😂

[@Samisesano]

Frozen spinach soup?? Without boiled eggs even?? Well: "You're in the army now. Oh-oo-oh you're in the army now..." :D :D

[@AlenaTalks]

I was born in a military family😂

[@Samisesano]

@@AlenaTalks ...so you'd probably understand, why that hellishly annoying song (by Status Quo) is being played on repeat to rookies in Finnish army during their first days of service. Over and over again. And again... and again... (Fun times!) :D

[@AlenaTalks]

@@Samisesano it’s a torture😂

[@AndroidAndr3w]

This was a fun video. I'v been thinking about getting one of those Turkish coffee pots. Do they make good coffee? Is it quite strong? Last week was also extremely hot in Helsinki. It was almost impossible to work from home. I wish I had air conditioning.

[@AlenaTalks]

Yes, those pots make great coffee. You can choose how strong you want it to be :) It depends on the amount of spoons you put.

[@AndroidAndr3w]

@@AlenaTalks Did not think of that. My head must be suffering from heat stroke.

[@josedosanjos2200]

Very nice video !

[@arihalttu8949]

Hi Alena, i just love your videos but i have never before comented them before....i'm a Finnish born guy living in Sweden and i just wanted to respond on "päärynä" drink you had .....i think this is the Russian translation of it "грушевое дерево (gruševoje derevo)".i have no idea if it makes any sens for you but i just wanted to help you....moi moi from Ari living on the worlds most peaceful border in the world between Sweden and Finland....keep on making your videos

[@AlenaTalks]

Hi! Thanks! Yeah, I know it’s a pear, just the picture was a bit confusingly designed😅

[@juhalehtinen4068]

Alena😍🤗❤️

[@arska77]

You should make more cooking videos 😁And dont cut the best parts off 👍😜

[@AlenaTalks]

They will be too long in this case😂🙈

[@pexster1988]

Can't watch right now but I will. Therefore, I have no idea how easy or difficult this is. But what would it look like to wear only Finnish brands in which you would go out. Made in Finland is difficult. If you do this I'd recommend to take a look at Tam-Silk, which is located in a city (Kangasala) where our family summer cottage is located. P.S. No expectasions of you buying and wearing because I would guess many are impossible to ship to you. P.P.S Maybe next summer you'll visit Kangasala 😀

[@AlenaTalks]

It’s a good idea for better times! :)

[@ImForwardlook]

I have always loved spinch soup but when I bought it in Sweden it was like a horrible poison, I had to throw it away.

[@joniniiranen2741]

Please apply Finnish nationality IMMEDIATLY! :D Was it hard to go through with finnish products? And did u count how much more expensive it was? Post Scriptum Dont be sad. Do things u like and enjoy! :D

[@AlenaTalks]

I wish I could apply right now! I can’t say it was hard because we have Prisma, but definitely slightly more expensive😅

[@joniniiranen2741]

@@AlenaTalks U like shopping there? :D Well hope u enjoyd the products :D

[@Lauri2014]

Just don't buy Xtra brand...
