Nice to see how much you clearly enjoying while eating our foods.

Fun facts about the tomatoes you mentioned around the 10:50 mark, these tomatoes are produced about 400 kilometers north from Ekenäs in a small town called Närpes, that town is quite famous for having large areas of greenhouses where they are producing around 80% of all greenhouse vegetables in Finland. Those are of course tomatoes, cucumber, paprika (bell pepper), different chillis, beans, and grapes but also I know a farmer who is trying his hands on olives now and they seem to be working to produce with greenhouse climate. My dad was actually born in the Ekenäs region and I'm from Närpes so it's nice to see that town being featured in your video. I do recognize many of your locations from when I was a child and I visited my relatives in Southern Finland.

Is Ekenäs the Swedish name of the town, the official name too? Or is it just because it is easier to say for an English speaker than Tammisaari? I see it a lot referenced as Ekenäs in anything that is in English.

@Chivaltic

@@Ziegeri Ekenäs is the official name, because Finland is officially a bilingual country. You can see when you are in the Swedish majority part when road and street sing's have Swedish name on top and Finnish at the bottom. Also Ekenäs in English is Cape Oak and Tammisaari is Oak Island. I have been to Ekenäs several times and can confirm that it is not a island. A very lovely place to visit in summer.

The berries in the beef dish look more like sea buckthorn to me and not lingonberries.

Sorry to say, but the only traditional food in this video was the salmon soup or "fish soup" as we mainly call it :) Runeberg torte is also a short seasonal pastry/dessert.

As a Finn its almost mindblowing to see the selection of food you have in this video. That Crawfish sandwitch is god tier its been over a decade the last time I had something similar and thats about to change after seeing that :D

That lamprey was pretty dead cold because it had to travel 350km to you in Helsinki ... if you want freshly smoked lampreys you have to travel to Nakkila near Pori where the smokeries are located they are normally sold in batches of 15 and 30 and very seasonal like the cray fish.

Im from the Gulf coast of the USA. From Louisiana into the surrounding states crawfish boils are very common but usually with live bags (think a knee high potato bag type thing) of crawfish. Usually we boil small potatoes and corn with "crab boil" which is a cajun seasoning spice mix, bay leaves, onions, garlic, and lemons and then add the live crawfish. Crawfish is fairly cheap and supplying about a kilo per person is normal. Though it is almost always for a special event due to the amount of effort it requires What kind of seasoning do you guys use over there? I heard you say Dill which is interesting and sounds like it could be pretty good

@gamerbear84

7 ай бұрын

From what I've seen, the boiling happens in just plain salt and maybe sugar seasoned water and the dill is kinda a garnish, a lot of Finnish cooking is just about letting the ingredients speak for themselves.

Onion, dill, sugar, lemon, mustard seed, coriander, black pepper and white pepper goes well with salmon. However, traditional Finnish dishes are bland, excluding lingonberry jam with reindeer. Karelian stew, Oatmeal, berry wine, mushrooms, fried vendace, cabbage casserole, "fish cock" or cake are traditional in Eastern Finland. Chili grows in Bulgaria, so it was not popular until the 1990s.

pyttipannu needs ketchup! BLASPHEMY

You've done your pre-research, which is always great. "Real" Finnish food is a very, very vague conception. We don't eat reindeer, but only very, very special occasions. Or never. Better value feeding it to tourists. Restaurant-wise we eat Norwegian and Finnish in that order, whitefish and arctic charr, which are very expensive. Baltic herring and vendace are cheaper for now and always more exciting. . Pyttipannu is best had in a sat/sun morning with a pounding hangover in a small, smokey apartment. Pyttipannu looking that tidy isn't real. But eyes on the prize. You went to Elite which was a great move. Never seen any youtuber do that. I ride past it when I go towards the city centre but is out of my price league. "Sikala" (Sea Horse) and Kosmos are among the (artist) Classics. But that' what they are now, elite is there. You can get so much more. Ask a food-ite. Helsinki is great.

Eating crayfish that way actually comes from Sweden. But Finland was Swedish before. In Sweden, people have eaten it since the 16th century. It was upper class food. Common people started eating it in the 1900s

@jattikuukunen

The first part of the video was located in a Swedish-speaking area, and a crayfish party is a stereotypical Swedish-speaking occurrence in Finland. The cameraman's first language was probably also Swedish, given his pronunciation of Runeberg's name (who was Swedish-speaking himself). There's nothing wrong with that, but it's good to know for context that this video leaned heavily on the Swedish-speaking realm of Finland.
