I Bought 10 Random Estonian Food Products to Review

Have you tried the camera feature of google translate? You point the camera at the text of what you want to translate and the English translation automatically overlays. I used it when I went to Seoul in restaurants - extremely helpful! I really like these sampling videos you do!

[@BalticHomesteaders]

I am aware of that, I’ve used it before here but didn’t want to for this video not to spoil it. Thank you, I do plan to do more. Not done any on sweets / confectionary.

Why is it so fun to see people trying stuff from estonia and trying to guess what they are is it because i'm estonian

The Ruki immediately reminded me of Peter’s Yard crispbread, which are also Nordic. Excellent for piling herrings and dill and the like on. Even lovely with butter and jam.

[@BalticHomesteaders]

PYC bit more robust, these would crack under the strain of a hearing, probably would snap in a stiff dip to be honest. I like the shirt too, now I fit it :)

[@insanesoninlaw]

Cool to see. I'll be driving through Latvia and Estonia in September after visting Lithuania. Flying back to Canada from Helsinki. Lovely to hear the accordian music in the market haha. I do love a good polka. The garden in a month from now will be incredible to witness. Looking forward to seeing it and looking forward to finally visit the baltic again since childhood. Looking forward to next weeks updates

[@BalticHomesteaders]

If you want to drop by on route you’d be welcome, we’re kind of on your route.

[@Paikesetudruk]

Uus means New. First one was full smoked sausage. Second was deer ham.

[@hermannliivik7856]

Hirveliha means deer meat btw 4:23

[@KohaAlbert]

Estonian deers: * Kabehirv (Dama dama) - overabundant * Punahirv (Cervus elaphus) - limited presence * Tähnikhirv (Cervus nippon) - mostly "visitor" ___ and of course, moose is "põder" (Alces alces)

[@xxcyclone]

The suitsuvorsti is smoked sausage with typically deer in it and uus means new Btw you're 'kitchen balls' are actually called rum balls

[@KohaAlbert]

suitsuvorst means just "smoked sausage" and salami isn't that bad of a guess for it. By "default" most are made from pork or beef - deer is rather exotic (and horsemeat aren't particularly popular either).

[@kaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarel]

you should try kartuli vahvlid

[@bellabowling]

Yessss

[@tuulik6588]

Did you really not like the cornballs with caramel or were you disappointed because you were expecting something else? I think I'm speaking for most Estonians when I say, that thing slaps. It is always given out at events and in the military as a treat because literally everyone likes it. It's a perfect treat. 19:43

[@BalticHomesteaders]

Think I was over promised by the packaging and the product under delivered, it was a while back now so can’t remember :)

[@lkrnpk]

Fun thing is that those Bread Crisps are actually a Latvian product from ''Latvijas Maiznieks'', but they are not really traditional and I have seen them in local Top! store which is a smaller Latvian supermarket chain but have not tasted them. I guess that's the reason why packaging is in English. That Snakk thing was super popular in Latvia in I think early 2000s when we used to make them at home, you could buy it packaged and boil in oil, but then they kinda fell out of fashion but I think you can still find them in Latvian stores here and there

[@BalticHomesteaders]

Thanks for the info. Weird we don’t see them here but I know that ‘up here’ we do see different products to Riga and further south. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment.

[@minaolenella869]

My guess, rum balls are usually made with sour cream, which needs to be refrigerated.

[@Cristallic]

Uus= new 🤣 But I loved the video, I love that it's sincere.

[@BalticHomesteaders]

Thank you :)

Kook pallikesed or köök pallikesed :) If kook pallikesed then its cake balls if köök then kitchen But this name is not köök pallikesed. I think u bought them from Selver And there before Köök there in red written Selveri so its made in Selveri Köök its this shop own place where they make salad. Cakes etc

I’ll have to look into that, that’s an Estonia recipe I assume? I really need to do more Estonian cookery as we’re so close to the border here.

[@arvosoosalu4198]

@@BalticHomesteaders yup its Estonian recipe

[@Slipping_thru_the_Seams]

​@@BalticHomesteaders its really simple, you mix chocolate powder into sour cream(and maybe some kohupiim which i think is like milk curd?) and layer it with the square kalevi küpsised, and then let it "soak" in the fridge for one or two nights. some people dip the biscuits in milk to speed it up. you can also do a layer of jam or mix jam into the sour cream instead of chocolate or whatever you want. :) ive always called it "küpsisetort" and it was always a fave. there are some "küpsisedessert" things you can get pre-made from selver if you happen to be in estonia again, they are pretty similar, just all mixed up instead of in pretty layers :)

Whats with the horse meat reference all over the place. While im not arguing that some people might eat horse meat... most wont, including me! Horse meat is not really traditional estonian food! Also these ''Kitchen balls'' do not translate into kitchen balls. Whoever translated it told you bunch of bollocks! ''Köök'' does mean kitchen BUT, its not the name of the product. Its the logo of the producer! At the end of the day its just your regular ''rum balls'' (not sure how regular those things are in the rest of the world?)

[@BalticHomesteaders]

Most of central and true eastern Europe eats horse which is why it’s probably mentioned a lot…

[@rockmcdwayne1710]

@@BalticHomesteaders Theres horse meat floating around for time to time but it MUST be labaled if anything contains it. There has been times where horse meat has been discovered from some products and there were alot of angry ppl around... even got to the news so yes, in general people do not eat horses around here. I feel like its more of a slavic thing!

@@rockmcdwayne1710 France, Holland, Belgium, Germany, Spain etc all eat horse none of them Slavic. I guess the funny thing is the UK where I’m from also doesn’t eat it.

horse meat is uncommon here but problem was that horse meat was sneaked into other meat products without anyone telling. all animals we eat have own food safety rules and so on. and should be labeled on products. there's also personal preference

[@KohaAlbert]

​@@BalticHomesteaders EU and common market... some years ago there was quite notable drama around imported sausages - as those included horse, and worst of all, weren't labeled accordingly. - it's not particularly popular among Estonians, and the requirement to label it accordingly was introduced from since
