I Tasted Every Food In Finland 🇫🇮

[@Gormilein]

Thank you for not splitting this up into 8 episodes spread out over 4 months! I'm sure the temptation was there ;) I think this works really well! I'm not interested enough in Finnish food to click on short, incremental videos (sorry Finns!) but I can watch something nice and condensed like this in one go and feel like I learned something.

[@niles8576]

the guy who sold gave you the black sausage is the most finnish person ever. seems really cold but is actually very kind.

[@grimmow187]

i think its because he would have to take off his gloves to handle either money or credit card, very common practice. i'm a fast food worker and i got white glove and black glove, white glove never touches the money and only food while black glove only touches money or containers etc. so if you want a taste test, i'm not going to 'unglove' for 50 cents

[@niles8576]

@grimmow187 well that was an entire black sausage not just a taste test. If it was a taste test then it only would have been a small piece. Trust me normally you would pay a couple of euros for that. Last time i was there, in August my friend bought one black sausage for 2.69€ which according to him was a fair price.

[@unknownentity8256]

Finnish people: Cold on the outside, warm in the inside.

[@ok-nz7mt]

Tell me you're not Finnish without telling me. That sausage is definitely around 3 euros if not more. Do you really think he just gives out free sausages to everyone? What a poor business idea.@@grimmow187

[@Ex0rz]

@@grimmow187 Thats actually a really terrible reasoning you gave there lol. A shop keeper not taking money because they dont want to take their gloves off? Wow thats just dumb af. They are trying to make a living selling stuff and giving out stuff for free just because they are too lazy to take their gloves off sounds so stupid.

[@MarkusHaapala]

Hesburger is known for their extremely excessive use of mayo. Some people love it for that reason, others hate.

[@Ganttura1]

yeah i find it disgusting sometimes when the burger is completely cold and full of mayo

[@vvuorinen3]

It is the best

[@Tuomas_Oskari]

I don't know how much Hesburger's French fries differ between different Hesburgers, but I myself have never received French fries from any Hesburger that would have been good back home. McDonalds (and BurgerKing, whose local restaurant is boycotted for some reason) knows it much better, their french fries taste quite decent even at home. And as for Hesburger's mayonnaise and using it in hamburgers, yes, too much is too much. Well, of course it's a matter of taste, but in my opinion, Hesburger's hamburgers have too much mayonnaise. I don't like it. Fortunately, nowadays the nearest McDonalds is not much further than the nearest Hesburger, plus there are not a single traffic lights when driving to McDonalds, while there are three traffic lights when driving to Hesburger And yes, I know that these days there are food delivery services from all over the world, foodora, Wolt and you know what, but it's not really my style to order food delivered to my home.

[@respectfulplayer]

Honestly the Hesburger Veke cheese burger (1.50e, Vegetarian option) is the only thing I feel is worth it at Hesburger (I don't like McDonalds much either for the record, but Hesburger definitely has the worst fries as well) You don't get the small sad meat patty or whatever else they decide to put on their "signature" burgers of the month, but I generally like the other aspects of a Hesburger - Mayo, Pickles, Cheese, Onion, Grillmauste - all pretty great on their own. The veke patty is pretty good too in my opinion, but it depends a bit on the prep (I prefer it when it's a bit more crunchy - make it's better when it dries out a bit) My super secret hack is if you want a super cheap and filling fast food burger, grab a couple of these Veke burgers, take them home, and add anything you want to make your own specialty burger. I've added my own home griddled patties, butter chicken, mushrooms, bacon etc - all pretty good on the veke burger base. Fast food should have a performance to dollar, period. Otherwise I'd go to a supermarket or something fast casual that actually is worth the price. Paying > 10 euro for a super basic meal just feels like a total waste to me when I imagine what I'd make at home for that same value Sorry for the text wall, but this is the only time I could drop my Hesburger hot takes, so I didn't want to waste my chance.

[@MarkusHaapala]

I very much agree about the fries. Hesburger fries are clearly the worst of the three. Even when they are hot and fresh, they are just mediocre.

[@WeirdViking]

This was actually really good. Sometimes finnish food blogs are full of weird crap nobody in finland eats, but this was the real deal

[@perhoskoira]

I moved from Finland (my home country) to Germany and heard all the praise for the German bread products. I bought them in Germany often, and I'm thinking "yea...? It's normal bread...? What's the hype?" Well, it took me a long while to realize the bread is pretty damn good in both countries. I was just used to the Finnish bread :') Ich liebe Brot!

@Suedetussy Yes! Rewes sell Finn Toasties! Also Finncrisps! Sometimes Lidl has carried Finn Toasties that were actually made in Finland. The rye bread situation in Germany holds missing Finland at bay. 😉

[@yorkaturr]

The seagulls in Helsinki are clever. You not only have to worry about them stealing your food, but sometimes they poop on you from high above to distract you so they can steal your food.

[@alextube9639]

I've seen seagulls in Kühlungsborn Germany sit high on a pole or lamppost and wait for someone to eat with their back to them. Then they dive on them from behind over the shoulder and kick the food out of the hands. And they know very well that the tourists will be so embarrased that they got played by a seagull that they will leave and pretend nothing happens so the bird can get the food from the ground uncontested. Oh and I've seen crying and mortified children because of that. edit: that's not a contest who has the smartest seagulls. Just want to add this. These fuckers are mean.

Kyrö Distillery Company has won gold in the prestigious British International Wine and Spirits Competition. The competition is the same in which the distillery's Napue Gin was already awarded as the best in its category in 2015. For the second time, the company won gold with rye whiskey, and now the prize came from a new drink category, vodka, which is made from 100% Finnish rye with birch charcoal filtration.

There is a Finnish version of the Danish pastry, where the chocolate is replaced with cinnamon and icing. It is called "telamiina" (anti-tank mine) and is sold in certain military canteens. And the canteens are usually accessible to outsiders either by having an outside entrance or by informing the military police at the gate, that you are going there.

[@MrVovansim]

The idea of going to a military base to eat is wild to me. 😂 Where I'm from, we think of army food as prison-food levels of bad.

[@Aquelll]

@@MrVovansim I have to mention that by canteen I mean the "soldier homes" that are ran by voluntary association in every base. They sell coffee, pastry and some food items at very affordable price. That is why it is a popular place for others than military personnel also. The actual canteens where soldiers eat their daily meals are ran by a government owned catering company. And even that food is usually very decent. When the military service is compulsory, you cannot serve as bad of a slop to people I guess. 😅

[@dabuuka]

Haha, their mayo based sauces are the reason I prefer Hesburger to McDonald's personally.

[@markopalosuo4293]

Yeah ,when McDonald's burgers were cheaper ,I used to buy burgers from there and then go buy sauces from Hesburger separately and then put them into McDonald's burgers lol it was so good.

[@Getpojke]

Great video, I really enjoyed that. Living in Scotland we seem to enjoy a lot of the same flavours as the Finnish. I have bilberries (we call them blaeberries) & cloudberries (sometimes called averin here) growing up the hill from the house. That liquorice ice-cream looked good. I love liquorice & one of my early memories is my Grandfather taking me for ice-cream as a kid. One day I got to have a double scoop so I got a tangerine sorbet & a liquorice gelato. The gelato was a homogeneous grey, not little bits of liquorice, the orange & the grey looked so good glistening in the sunshine. (You should try making brown-bread ice-cream, it is especially good with rye-bread), I'm a big fan of whiskey - I even live in a whiskey producing village. I've tried the Kyrö & it really is very good. I prefer their non-smoked whiskey, but then I'm more of a Speyside style fan than an Island style which I find can taste like medicine. Really enjoy the longer form videos, hopefully you'll get a chance to do more again? Plus it would be fun seeing you hit the food scenes in different countries.

Fazer is so much better than Cadbury, Cadbury just tastes like Fazer from wish

Those seagulls 😆 i wonder how hard covid hit them.. rye bread with butter, cheese and pickled cucumbers

He didn't get to taste the best fish ever 🫤 Nice video tho

I'd say that "Blaubeeren" are billberries and "Heidelbeeren" are bluebuerries. I do know lakka, but as a Lapponia liquor that you use as sauce for vanilla ice.

[@juliuseder]

Bilberries sind Heidelbeeren oder Blaubeeren und blueberries sind Kulturheidelbeeren.

[@helenswan705]

that sounds fair, here in UK we also have bilberries (which go by other names, too) wild on the moors, they are tiny and tangy, and when you pick them you get bitten by midges. Blueberries if I remember right are originally N American, though they are grown all around the world. They are bigger but blander and no, they do not grow in the forest. They grow on farms.

The force is strong in you, welcome to the dark side may the licorice guide you. 😆

To this day I have only heard of Cloudberries in a video game and I thought they are made up for the game.

Thanks for visiting Finland :) Hesburger's mayo quantity divides people, but I love it. But definitely head to smaller chains if you want a better burger.

[@Emppu_T.]

And of course for the original experience you need to find a grilli

[@poowaffle]

You tried the wrong Tyrkisk bebers. You need the og black ones. And oat porridge cannot be made instantly, it needs time and love. But when you do it right, you get the reward.

If you like the egg butter, try it warm/ liquid seasoned w salt and fine ground white and black pepper. Serve to add to any boiled fish Like my grandmother in north of Norway served it..

[@MartinAhlman]

Glad you enjoyed it! Northern Sweden is quite similar to Finland when it comes to tasty stuff! I love this video so far, I think I'll be fine with the rest of it as well :-) Blood susage is one of the many wonderful food items you can find, and of course you have "lingon" with it.

[@theGRUBmaker]

Hahah those Seaguls!!! =D =D I heard that Hesburger has started doing Döner kebabs, too bad you didnt get the chance to try it.

[@benbaselet2026]

They are pretty terrible.

[@Ser_Lefty]

They have actually served kebab for at least 20 years, but before they were limited to a few select hesburger restaurants. The meat itself is pretty meh, but like with all of their products it all about that red mayo.

[@theGRUBmaker]

@@Ser_Lefty Oh never knew that =)
