In Finnish munkki is basically a doughnut of any shape, but a doughnut with a hole in it is often referred to as donitsi.

[@Aurinkohelmi]

And to make it more precise donitsi is little doughnut with hole. Big is munkkirinkilä :)

[@Bunnybananabunny]

And the square ones are munkkipossu and not just a munkki😊

[@KolliOde]

@@Bunnybananabunny they are shaped as pig, not squares

[@Bunnybananabunny]

@@KolliOde Really?!😮 Where Im from the square ones are also called munkkipossu, even if the original ones are the ones with those little balls as legs in the corners! Interesting to hear its different elsewhere!

[@Aurinkohelmi]

@@KolliOde And funny thing is that munkkipossu in English is Bear claw 😄

[@EveliinaN97]

You may feel yourself stupid for at first thinking the pastry was called ”puolukka-vaniljapiir” but I’m strangely proud of you for so quickly realizing it actually is ”piirakka”! I think it shows that You’re really learning the language and not just reading and pronouncing words as they’re presented to you. You’re using your brains and knowledge :)

[@akseli2679]

Yea im finnish and i cant even realize it sometimes

Fun fact: Pätkis used to be a product that was recycled from misshapen mint chocolates. Hasn’t been made that way for probably decades now, but that’s its origin!

[@limeparticle]

Veeti airasmaa I see, it’s still partially made from discards. yle.fi/uutiset/3-6911388

Cool, I didn't know that. That might be origins of the name too.

[@watchcharmedagain]

The fact that you were "puolukkahilloa... what is it..." and it took you a while to come up with "lingonberry jam" shows you are truly turning Finnish 😄

[@joelkoskinen3087]

Those 'donut holes' are made with quark in the dough which gives them the special flavour. Namimunkki is just branding, nami means either sweets or 'yummy' as an expression, they could be called 'rahkamunkki' so people knew what they actually were.

[@TheArseen]

I think at one time they were called that.

[@RDnAC]

What is quark?

[@MsJuliaMarianne]

@@TheArseen probably, but then they came up with these quark filled doughnuts and decided that those are rahkamunkki😂 Confusing land

[@joelkoskinen3087]

[@Nana_S_T]

Nami used to be used as a word for sweets or candies as the translator said (and sometimes is still used in such way, but mostly when talking with small kids), but is mostly used as an expression in a similar way as one would use “yummy”.

[@peittoburrito]

I think this is the best explanation of the word nami after scrolling through lots of comments about it

[@g-mo7130]

I used to enjoy berliinin munkki as a child/teen, but at older age the omar munkki seems to fit better for my palette. Team omar!

[@einienj3281]

Samoin 😋

[@minttu913]

Mä en oo ehtiny maistaa omaria, mutta lapsena ku käytiin isovanhempien kaa kahvilassa ni otin aina berliininmunkin! Sit ehkä tuli mitta täyteen sitä makeutta ku ei vuosiin tehny mieli syyä niitä xDd

Berliinin munkki kamalan makeeta ja rasvasta

[@xayahk2313]

Muksusta asti berliininmunkki on ollut ehdoton suosikki, mutta silloin ne ei ollu samanlaisia kuin nykyään 🤔 ne munkit joita itse söin oli paljon isompia, niissä ei ollut hilloa mikä oli hyvä juttu, kuorrute oli sama, en tiedä, ehkä asun vaan takapajulassa ja hillo on aina kuulunut munkkiin, mutta tääläpäin nuo oli erilaisia 😆 omar on ihan törkeän makeaa, mutta silti niitä on vaan pakko syödä, meen kuitenkin tiimiin berliininmunkki 😆

[@wanhapatu]

Omar of course. Though it is a tad too sweet even for my taste.

[@TheCrosshare]

You should try the Finnish sugar donut "challenge". It's where you get a basic donut with sugar coating, then try to eat it without licking the sugar off your lips :p

[@peittoburrito]

YES

[@pinkybear8082]

Why is everyone saying that this is Finnish challenge when it's not an original Finnish challenge? 🤔 😂 So many comments saying that exact same thing and it's not even true.

[@TheCrosshare]

@@pinkybear8082 Just 'cause it's a "finnish thing" channel :D I know it's not originally Finnish, but it's a bit of a tradition in parts so, eh!

@@TheCrosshare Yea but it would be same as someone saying "you gotta try that Russian koskenkorva". I get it really but it just doesn't sound right to me 😂 nothing against you or anyone, I was just wondering. Saw it in so many comments.

[@tomibgt]

"Nami" is a onomatopoetic word. You might have help remembering it from the Cookie Monster's "nom nom nom", or from the derived memes about "(for the) noms". It can be used like "nom nom nom" - "nami nami nami", or as a noun (as in "the noms", but we have a singular in Finnish too) "nami". "Ostetaan nameja." - "Let's buy some noms."

[@kimmotuomi7272]

One that you should have tried is the "kermamunkki". For you brits, it is "cream doughnut" or something like that. It is basically a munkki, but with whipped cream infill. I could eat a ton of those at one go!

[@nakkieki]

1. Omar 2. Pätkis 3. Berliini for me. Berliini isn't bad either but just too sweet for my taste.

[@vilzupuupaa4680]

So they are all doughnuts without holes ;) HPC would've been proud XD

[@serkuveli]

Team omar here, my mom used to work in bakery so you can imagine how many Berlin doughnuts i have eaten once, at one time. Here in Western Finland we have a nickname to Berlin doughnuts "Hammassärky" / "Toothache" because they are SO sweet.

[@wanhapatu]

Nami munkki = Yummy donut. It has rahka (curd) in it, maybe that was the smell?

[@zoniplays2586]

It's kardemummaa

[@Carrot880]

3:24 When I was a kid, my favourite treat at our nearby café was Berliininmunkki with Sprite. Mmm. Yes, I had cavities.

[@kristuz]

I love pätkis but damn I did not like that pätkismunkki at all. Berliininmunkki for the win!

[@peikkolaps]

Same, it tastes like chocominttuviina! And I dont want to eat chocominttuviina 😅

[@riinakallioinen5325]

you know, i'm REALLY missing the basic donut rings with cardamom that you got from fuel stations that were just oil fried and rolled in sugar. but the absolute best treats were the blueberry paw-donuts. paw shaped, filled with nice blueberry jam, donut pockets crusted with rough sugar.

[@Tylran]

I know this is super late, but the flavoring/ of the "donut hole" donut is probably either quark (a fermented, yoghurty type of thing), or possibly just cardamum, as they come as either quark or just regular versions, the regular version being a regular Finnish munkki dough, which tends to have cardamum in it.

[@zmejgorynyts]

When is the "Trying Finnish treats baked"-video gonna come out?

[@davecad]

hahaha xD

[@Kerttis]

namimunkki is the best, its perfectly not too sweet and so damn soft its like the perfect munkki pillow in your mouth

[@jackakimbo5718]

If you love Berliininmunkki, you should go to I think quite literally any cafe in the country and they'll have these things that look like elongated Berliininmunkki that are completely filled with whipped cream and often the jam as well. Supermarkets might be a bit hit and miss if they'll have these, but cafes and bakeries will for sure.

[@blue_jm]

Called kermamunkki, obviously because of the cream.

[@maijasilden1875]

You should try kermamunkki! It's so good! 😍 It's a long munkki with whipped cream inside and pink icing! You should find those from markets baked by local bakeries.

[@einienj3281]

My husband couldn't eat another munkki in his life after the military! 😄 Wouldn't personally call them baked, bc all of them are deep fried.. I love the one with Omar with black coffee 😋♥️ I've eaten those "holes", but they've been filled with vanilla custard, Appel/raspberry/strawberry/blueberry jam/or chocolate mousse or something, never empty ones 😄

[@kimmotuomi7272]

And when doing the next episode of "Cad's Kitchen", please do the fresh-cheese ("tuorejuusto") cake. Just use some regular recipe but with a twist: add a little bit, half deciliter of Disaronno Amaretto /almond liquer in the mixture. It will blow your mind!

[@Grondex]

Dave there is a bakery called Halme in Espoo. They make the best berliinimunkki in Finland. They use apple jam instead of raspberry jam. You should taste it, no you have to taste it! :D

[@lordoverflow]

Halme kermamunkki :) Then there's (or at least were) also this mix of kermamunkki and berliininmunkki leivonleipomo.fi/Tuotetiedot?groupid=70&id=938

[@XPRTTT]

My teeth hurt just from looking at the berliinin munkki

[@sandrarautelin1817]

You should also try the Halme Berliinimunkki!! It’s filled with apple jam instead of raspberry jam. And also try all the other treats from Halme, go and visit their bakery in Kauklahti😋 they do also sell them in some Κ-city/supermarkets

[@yorkaturr]

Berliininmunkki was a staple food in Finnish army cafeterias for decades. That's where I actually tasted my first one, and surprisingly the quality there is better than almost anywhere else.

[@anneraunio6327]

Definitely berliininmunkki for me! I haven’t tried the donut with strawberry and vanilla, but I used to love a danish with the same fillings. It’s called ”pitkä viineri”. I recommend to try that one as well :)

[@Emppu-st9pq]

I am just watching this and wanting to eat all of those😭 I LOVE Berliinin munkki❤️

[@randomdriver]

In my nearest K market in Vantaa there is maybe once or twice in a week available almost like berliininmunkki but it is elongated and there is also whipped cream inside of it. It is not made by Fazer and you should try it if you find it. I hate omar munkki but love berliininmunkki. If you find yourself in near Turku try to find "Naantalin Aurinkoinen" They make really good version of berliininmunkki but it is called piispanmunkki.

[@sotkajarvi]

Berliini munkki is my favoruite and it was one of the first things we had when we went to Finland. I wish I could get Berliini Munkki here in UK.

[@qarakoz6632]

The small ones look really similar to what we in Belgium and The Netherlands call 'oliebollen' (or smoutebollen): small bals of deep-fried dough eaten on New Year's eve or at funfairs. The version in The Netherlands has fillings, the ones in Belgium don't.

[@Naeddyr]

The Omar donuts aren't a thing outside of Fazer. Omar is a brand of milky toffee. Otherwise the first time I saw those was a couple of years back. They're good though, I prefer them to raspberry jam.

[@jannekaanta2884]

You have to try out the traditional "Grisar" from Närpiö(Närpes)👍😋

[@EraTheShrimp]

The best baked treats are from Naantalin Aurinkoinen. I might be biased since I live in naantali and have a shop under a mile from me. But they are good

[@sanchu6335]

Mint chocolate is one of the best things ever, along with the berliinin munkki of course

[@rosekilledjack]

Berliinimunkki is great but the frosting makes my teeth ache. My second favorite would be the little nami-munkki.

[@Iamtimchung]

Dave! Now I want to eat these too!!!

[@CJessie07]

Berliini is my number one guilty pleasure! SO GOOD! Everytime i allow myself to buy one, i just want to cry because it's so good. Syntisen hyvää if you ask me.

[@sirburntz]

I have eaten Nami munkki that had a lemon or a lemon peel flavored milk curd in the dough :)

[@TheYannir]

I love baked things too, Dave. LET'S GO! Side note, Team Omar here. I ate too many Berliininmunkki in the defence forces so I'm kinda over them. :D

[@ruohos]

Munkki and a donut are 2 different but similar things. Donut has a hole in it munkki doesent and it usually has jam inside it. (also it can be any kind of shape)

[@leonf.7893]

My favourite is the voisilmä-vaniljapitko. Voisilma in the middle with vanilla stuffed into the crust.

[@leonf.7893]

The flavour in the dough balls is rahka.

[@TrixyStars]

Berliner Munk - It's THE ONE and only. Can't find anything like it anywhere else. Cause I honestly have been looking.

[@Vaiskipelaa]

Berliininmunkki is the best hands down! I just love it.

[@satu9321]

Namimunkki is also known as rahkamunkki, they use maitorahka in the doe, that's why it tastes little bit different than a normal donut😊

[@mass1985]

I like them both.

[@miimaakagreeniechan6258]

Definitely Team Omar! Berliini is too sweet for my taste.

[@TheVilitsu]

You need try Pullava from Oululainen. There is many different products and those are good with coffee

[@Traumassa]

You save my day pro!:)

[@Ama-Elaini]

Nami is just a Finnish way to say "yum" so the name doesn't tell me much.

[@redgrengrumbholdt2671]

"Nam" is "yum" or "yummy" But "Nami" is more like "a sweet" or "a candy"

[@Smoldepressedboi]

@@redgrengrumbholdt2671 correct

MakkE Not really. You can also say “nami nami” which means yummy yummy. Have your forgotten about bumtsibum and Marco 😞

Would like to see you try Arnold's doughtnuts and muffins 🤔 double chocolate muffin is 👌👌

[@Sieggis]

"Coffee anyone?" Nah, I totally prefer hot cocoa. Take 1/2l cup. Add 4 spoons of Pirkka cocoa. 1 tiny spoon of Van Houtten cacao. Mix. Add 3dl of boiled water and 2dl of milk. Done. 💚

Should be noted that uhm... The amount of water and milk are more like... How much about should be added ;b

[@Longingtobesomeone]

Berliini donut was definitely a favourite, but five years ago I developed an allergy to wheat and haven't been able to eat donuts anymore. The gluten free ones are not the same... I never got to try the Pätkis one and I love Pätkis. 😢

[@leevikv]

Omar munkki is so great i really Love it

[@Toetech0]

you should make another one of these with a littlebit more savory snacks.

[@jaska6875]

Berliininmunkki is called also "rähmämunkki". And when you put wpipcream on it, then it is "sikarähmämunkki" 😁

[@kankstrap5185]

Hyvä video! ;)

[@Noddingdog63]

Give the possumunkki a try. When they make a Tuplamunkki I'm coming back!

[@PaveMentman]

--- The munkki/doughnut at 6:58 actually counts as a "possumunkki" ("piglet doughnut”); basically any flat, rectangular doughnut counts as one. And more specifically this called as "posso" at Kotka-dialect. ---

[@Noddingdog63]

There is a type of pulla which has a long line of jam and "custard" on top which reminds me of what was inside that possumunkki Dave was trying. I've only seen possu's with jam.

[@christinejackson8542]

The middle of the donut in the United States is called a donut hole, and are solid not like empty in the middle. Urinalysis rolled in powdered sugar, cinnamon, or a fine sugar.

[@christinejackson8542]

Ummm tht would be usually rolled in sugar. LOL NOT URINALYSIS. DARN AUTO CORRECT. lol

[@millatiainen8483]

You need try next cream doughnut in finnish language its " rahka munkki" its really good i love it 😆 and this was good video ...

[@Keinapappa]

Reason berliininmunkkis icing is sugary in because it's colored sugar. :)

[@taijak6822]

I love turkinpippurimunkki but haven't seen those anymore. ☹️😟

[@Juhasante]

My biggest sweets weakness is those Berliinin munkit kahvin kanssa! 🤤🤤. If i stop in market to watch those over 5sec, usually/every time it means i gonna buy couple of them😭🤣❤️

[@riinakallioinen5325]

i suppose you can translate nami as nom. you really gotta catch nami munkki right in the morning when they put them out, and the sugar hasn't started melting yet. that's when they taste the best. and the spice you're looking for is cardamom

[@anterikinnunen83]

Dave you speak very good finish. And yes im from Finland💪🇫🇮

[@nissantruck]

I am team Omar donut,but i do like the other flavours too.I also think that they are more like jam donuts then normal donuts,because normal donuts have a hole in the middle of them.

You have to eat that vanilla-jam doughnut side up so you get both vanilla and jam at the same bite.

[@saagapulkkinen6999]

I definitely LOVE berliinin munkki😋❤️

[@iinamanda643]

I've never tried Omar but I feel like I'd still like Berliini the og more haha, also I feel like the nami munkki is perhaps something that kids like? I liked them as a kid a lot, they're small and sweet and fun, but now as an adult I don't really care for them, I'd rather have a normal sugar donut lol

[@skrafe3083]

Well i love both the Omar munkki and the Berliinin munkki.

[@andreashadaya2237]

All donuts are good🤣🤣

[@thegreywanderer8427]

Namimunkki has to be eaten as fresh as possible, before its quark filling has completely been absorbed into the dough.

[@leena.arifin]

Team Omar munkki. I used to have it almost every day when I first moved to Finland. :)

[@anttiv260]

Berlin donut! Everytime

[@kpt002]

Those small "munkki" are nicer when they are home made and you dip them in jam. So try to make some small "munkki" at home and buy good different kind of jams. Then you can sit around the table with Cat and taste them in different versions!! You can also melt chocolate or what ever you can think of as a good dip!!

[@friidat4759]

Im defienetly on a team turkinpippurimunkki, turkish pepper munkki! I loooved those and i hope that next halloween we got them back 🤤😋😋 If i had to choose one of them, berliinimunkki for the win! But its too sweet even for me and i just cant eat it more than like two in a year 😆

[@Igorinrussia]

Damn, now I want one too

[@senniterasahde2160]

Omar doughnuts are the best. My number one pregnancy graving😫😍

[@leopartanen9431]

Finnish style munkki, what you ate last is not a doughnut at all, at least not for me it isn't, because it's not made from the same dough as those other doughnuts. We call all kind of doughnuts as munkki as well you call them, such as those berlin doughnuts, but when those are ring shaped, people prefer to call them as donitsi. But the last one is the same kind of munkki what you eat during Vappu! 👌🏻 Ps. That smell is most likely coconut oil, which is usually used to deep fry those munkki doughnuts.

[@Colaman112]

I prefer the Omars, haven't had a berliner in years. The pätkis munkki are ok I guess. The last munkki you tasted are the munkki that people make and eat at vappu.

[@iiroiso-ilomaki287]

Team Berliininmunkki here, though Omar is a good sweet snack too. You should try lörtsy, both sweet and salty, if you havent yet.

[@nebulous962]

namimunkki is my favourite :) or munkkipossu if those are available :p

[@Jyrildo]

Namimunkki has quark in the dough. makes it more tangy than an ordinary munkki

[@mikaelpeltonen96]

Omar is berliininmunkki with different jam and icing. In my opinion it should taste more like Omar candy to be on the same level with berliini. On the other hand, berliini can taste too sweet if you have had sugar lately. By the way, nami means yummy.

[@elderscrollsswimmer4833]

Well mine are called tori-posso (or possumunkki from the market-Place) and hillomunkki (has jam inside). Nami just means Yummy or a treat or a sweet -- the namimunkki is just trying to advertise with such a name. Of course, I think the best ones don´t need to advertise in such a manner because everyone knows how good they are... Oh and how about a recipe for mokkapalat?

[@einar6229]

I'm team both, mainly omar, but i can't resist either of them with saturday morning coffee 😃

[@Seldamarjaana]

About the pätkis chocolate bar. If you don't like the traditioal flavor of pätkis I think you should taste the 99 grams pätkis bar. I know this sounds crazy but for me they taste different and the bigger one is better.

[@SawManga]

Nami munkki 5/5. they are so sweet, but yet it's not too sweet. Nami = Nam. So it's just sweet-doughnut. But alas. Home made "rinkeli" is still better, not with coffee, but with milk. Berlin-doughnut is definitely a coffee treat. btw. try namimunkki as a desert after dinner, so good (with cacao drink) Fine video, keep up your finnish lessons. and have a great day today.

[@cultshepard4215]

Omar is better imo, Berliininmunkki has wayyy too much jam in it. I really like the pink frosting tho 😁🧁
