As the lad said in the video Viili is NOT yogurt. It is fermented milk product, instead of sweet yogurt.

Plain yogurt isn't sweet at all (ie. Greek or Turkish yogurt), but viili is definitely a different product.

And it´s much thicker than yogurt as well.

Finnish rye bread is very different to Scandinavian/Swedish rye bread. Much chewier and sour. I lived in the UK for a few years and never ran into anything like it. I ran into the Swedish type in 🇬🇧 though.

Yeah no you don't have rye bread in the UK sorry. Check the ingredients and you will see that more than half of your "rye bread" is wheat. Also the berries are different because of the long days at summer. Berries get much more sunlight and are way sweeter. And Viili is not Yoghurt. We have plain and flavored yoghurt also and they are very different.

We have like 50-70 different sausages in our stores, either cooked or uncooked... And yes, the meatpie is a little dry if you buy it from the supermarket prepacked. But if you come to Lappeenranta where I live, you can get "vety" which is a steamed meatpie with ham and hardboiled egg with mustard and relish and some raw onion. It is fucking delicious! You also get absolutely insane meatpies from the bakeries as well, and you can bring them home warm and fill them whatever you want, like hotdogs (nakki), mustard, onions, mayonaisse, cheese, BBQ-sauce, ketchup, dried onions, kebap, jalapeno, garlic sauce... anything you like. They also serve them at "nakkikioski" almost around the clock which is the same thing as a food stall or a grill. In my hometown especially on the weekend they close about 5 at the morning and open another one at 6 in the morning for breakfast. Even in winter when it´s snowing and there´s like -25 celsius outside.

What he failed to mention about 'makkara' is that it's best when roasted outdoors over an open fire. Just stick a stripped birch branch through it and hold it over the fire until it's cooked to perfection.

Viili is definitely not yogurt. They both have the same colour (white), just like milk or sour milk, but otherwise a different taste and structure. 😁

Viili is a lot more solid and tastes more sour, but in a good way. Think like a lighter version of 'Turkish yoghurt', the thick, creamy stuff, a little more stretchy and runny than that. Easier to mix stuff into it, too, like berries, muesli... fruit pieces... canned pineapple in juice (YUM!), you name it.

I am Norwegian Sea Sami, from Finnmark, but living in the south. When some of my siblings went to Finland, they always had to buy Viili for my mother while she was alive. It reminded her of her childhood. My father once told me that when he was a child they had a barrel of milk in the exit passage (which probably held close to freezing temperature during winter) into which they poured milk throughout the summer, probably apart from the milk they drank that day. The milk soured with the help of bacteria that naturally existed in the untreated milk. The cows they had did not give milk in the winter, so during winter they drank the milk from the barrel until it was empty. I would like to think that Viili reminded my mother of the kind of milk that my father told me about.

Finnish rye bread is very different than other rye bread and it’s by far my favorite

Some tasty Finnish foods: - Hernekeitto (peasoup with pork) with mustard. Served with ruisleipä (or näkkileipä) and butter and cheese. And pannukakku (Finnish pancake) with jam as a dessert. Peasoup can also be bought from stores in cans that can be stored in room temperature for months. Altough these usually need bit more pork added. - Creamy Salmonsoup. Served with rye or archipelago bread with butter. - Karjalanpaisti. A stew made out of cubed beef and pork (lamb can be added too) and onions (can have other veggies as well), salt, black pepper and bayleaf. Served with boiled or mashed potatoes. - Poronkäristys. Reindeer stew. Served with mashed potatoes and lingonberry jam. - Särä, a local delicacy of pulled lamb and potatoes only made in two (one closing soon) restaurants in whole of Finland in Lemi. - Vety and Atomi. Special meat pie filled with ham and/or boiled egg and mustard, ketchup, raw onion, cucumber relish and garlic mayo. Variations can be found across Finland but only Lappeenranta has the genuine version as the meat pie is made by local bakery. - Many bear, reindeer and other game and fish foods. Horse meat too.

Meatpie is basically the donut with all the sugar replaced with salt and stuffed with groundbeef, rice and spice mix. Usually used like hamburger as sliced from the middle and stuffed with diffrent things

The good meatpies/lihapiirakkas you get from kiosks like vaakon nakki in tampere. You should try it with 2 nakkis/weaners and relish onion mustard and ketchup. Aka lihapiirakka kahdella nakilla kaikilla mausteilla

the squeaky cheese is best when you fry it on a pan just a little bit, add cloudberry jam 🤤

The difference between viili and yogurt is that viili is made with lactic acid fermentation with wild yeasts and molds, whereas yogurt is fermented with a specialized culture. Viili has a slimy and stretchy consistency that is very different from yogurt.

The rye bread here is completely different from anywhere else, here its more on heavy side and has much more rya flour than any ither, and barely any sugar so its more sour kind

Viili is definately not the same as yoghurt, Viili is much thicker and more sour, but its still good!

Best way to get that meat pie is from snack bar/hotdog stand after night in bar. You can stuff it basicly with everything, like kebab meat, sausages, cheese, onions and different condiments.

The filling of the Karelian pie was originally mashed potatoes because rice was not grown in Finland!

If you want to watch a fellow Brit eat some makkara: " Dave Cad THE MAKKARA TASTE TEST!" and "TRYING FINNISH MAKKARA | Part 2 | Taste Test Tuesday". Dave's been going through Finnish cuisine, snacks, sweets and liquors for years now. A recipe for that Finnish type sour rye bread: "Grant Bakes 100% Whole Grain Rye Sourdough Bread". Meat pie is a traditional Finnish fast food. Here's (Finnish only) videos on how it's made and an example of with what you can fill it with: "HK Lihakoulu Helpot kotitekoiset lihapiirakat. Lihakoulu | HK" and "Eeppinen Grilliherkku | LIHAPIIRAKKA BRATWURSTILLA!".

We have s counterpart to Viili in Sweden called "Långfil" or "Filbunke". When it's made, it has to mature in a certain temperature for a couple of days after being filled in packages.

Viili is completely different thing than youghurt. Proper term for viili in english is Soured Whole Milk.

Lihapiirakka (meat pie) is dry by itself but usually if you order it from kiosk you can get it with many sidestuff like mustard, ketsup, mayo, mustardcucumbersauce, onions, etc. And I agree with comments down below Viili is not a yogurd and we have the real rye bread here in Finland :D

I can confirm Lihapiirakka (meat pie) is so much better when its fresh directly from bakery. I have one close to me that make really nice meat pies that they cannot be even compared to the regular mass produced meat pies. Mass produced once aren't bad they just need some sauce, sausage, egg or pickle slaw to make better.

The cheese are common in the north of Sweden also, it's called coffee cheese there, you slice it in to cubes, 1x1cm an put it in boiling hot coffee, I just love it. The viili is something we have also, it's called Långfil, lång means long and referee to the long strings, it was common to make your own långfil when I was a child, very easy if you just had a cup of långfil to make more, just add milk. The ryebread in Finland are better than the one in Sweden.

Isn't lower Northern Sweden originally inhabited by (us) Finns..?

I think it's safe to say most countries have something comparable to blood sausage shown here.

Greetings from Finland!!! I like my rye bread with liverpaste and peasoup made with lamb meat and mix sum mustard and raw onion there idk how Finnish are these 😂 Also when the summer comes you have to get new season potatoes with sum butter it's so delicious even without any meat or sausage 😋 "i'll be back" 😎

Viili is different from Youghurt which is actually jugurtti in Finnish.

We have a sort of Black Pudding in Sweden too, and we eat it with Lingonberries too, but it's just sort of similar taste... The finnish black sausage is very good, but different. I recommend trying both... with Lingonberry jam of course. ... and if you go to Sweden, we'll have to feed you Pölsa so you can compare it to Haggis... ;-)

1:37 Karjalanpiirakka is all about incredients and how it's made, not where it's from. Lihapiirakka: If you eat it: Cold. It doesn't taste anything, It sticks to your palate and then you have rancid butter after taste. Heated in a microwave. Same as above, but it doesn't stick anymore. Heated on a pan. It actually taste quite good. Don't let the name fool you. There is no meat in it and it's 115 % fat.

Yes, We Finns have our special combos so, guys don't judge it by our way to showcase it, just have a try in your own way, mostly it's very good when you find your way to enjoy it,ok! 👍

The best meat pie for me is the "liha lörtsy", that is originally from my birth place, Savonlinna. It's flatter than the ordinary meat pie and has a half moon shape. I remember having one as a child, bought from a market stall by the river, with some ketchup. It was out of this world. They do a sweet version as well, with an apple filling, called "omena lörtsy".

Black pudding is not the same as mustamakkara. It is similar, but they are not the same. I recommend trying it out if you ever come visit Finland.

Thanks for another finish vid :) Natural viili is really good with berries, cereal or jam, when I was a kid i usually put sugar and cinnamon in it :) and about the meatpies, there's MANY varieties of them, big and flat ones, then those ones in that vid and also a bit bigger than those, and kinda depends what company made them that how much there's mince and rice in there, we also have same product but it has apple jam in it :) my british bf loves to eat those small ones with chocolate spread on them and my bro loves to put a lot of cheese in there and microwave it so cheese is all melted, when i was a kid, i loved a lot to put cheese and also wieners :) some do that and also add ketchup, kinda same goes with like hot dogs, from kiosks you can buy these meatpies with stuffins like pickle salad etc, that apple jam and the other one which are the biggest ones are called Lihalörtsy and Omenalörtsy, you can look thosse up :) and Finnish rye bread is soooo tasty when you put butter and cheese and then microwave it, my childhood treat lol

Viili isn't yoghurt. It's similar to yoghurt but very different.

also we have more fleshed sausages too, there is so called flour sausages and like 86% of real meat of sausage and everything between those :)

Sweden has näkkäri also, Knäckerbröd. I think the origins of näkkileipä is in Sweden, but I could be wrong.

inside meat pie you can put mayo,ketchup you can put almost anything in it

meat pie, u usually cut it half, then put some stuff in it first, like ketchup,mustard, nice cheece or what u prefer =:D and warm it up on microwave, then tastes are better ps: and dont know for sure but looks like he didnt warm it up at all, just almost strait from fridge then i can understand that all the flavours arent there, of course u can eat those without heating too but personally woud recomended somekind heat for it before u eat it

The thing is there are two types of rye bread, one that is brown all the way and another that is white other than the crust for what ever reason, DO NOT for one second think the whitened rye bread is the health food variety. Most supermarket sausages here are less meaty and more grainy than... say Italy, France, Germany, Poland or UK. There are some more Central European trademarks and I've heard of some small indie makers of meatier sausages.

In my opinion, that is not the right way to enjoy a meat pie. The REAL way to enjoy it is in the form of the Vety, which is a steamed meat pie with ketchup, mayonnaise, sliced hard boiled eggs, ham and maybe even mustard or pickles, stuffed in the middle. Delicious. This absolutely magnificent product can be bought pre-assembled from the marketsquare in the citycentre of Lappeenranta during summer. If you wish to make these yourself, i'd strongly suggest that you either buy the meat pies from the K-supermarketti in the Kamppi-mall, or, preferrably, Kesämäen leipomo, which is a bakery in Lappeenranta. (the ones from Kamppi's K-supermarketti are trucked there from Kesämäen leipomo, they are just not as fresh as you can imagine.) Now surprisingly, the Vety is pretty unknown even in Finland outside of Lappeenranta, but it's such an awesome treat that i cannot even express how much i recommend you and everyone else to try it.

Viili is not yogurt. Yogurt is Jugurtti in Finnish. Viili is different. The flavor profile is similar, but Viili is more viscous, kinda like a jelly. A milk jelly, if you will.

rye bread is health food in uk???? :DDDD in finland today they say it is not that healthy... thought white bread is the worst so... i eat rye bread and love it. it is the best, there is more taste and it is actually healthy no matter who says its too salty or something...

even the cheapest sausages are very good, not fancy but tastes very good.

Out of these lihapiirakka is my favorite.

The Makkara is a great sausage.

We sure have wide variety of differnt kinds of ryebreads. Still at 20 years ago it was hard to find ryebred for instance from Sweden. There were at some stores and those were imported from Finland. Still it has too much of carbs to be even close to healthy. Better choise of course than white bread. Sweden is known of crispy bred, but i think we have better in Finland. Koulunäkki is one of my favourites. I don´t like that cheese at all. It is like gum, but little softer and tastes something like cottage cheese and feta cheese. No viili is not the same as yoghourt. Texture is more slimy and tastes different. I hated viili as i was a kid, but i loved yoghourt. Finlad has great sausages. But in Sweden they don´t got good sausage. Our sausages are mostly in natural "skin" made from pigs bowel. And no, Black sausage isn´t like blood pudding. Texture is very different and the taste too. I don´t like that sausage, but i love at least swedish blood budding with lingonberg jam. Also finnish blood pancakes are good with lingonberg jam. Those meat pies are are made in frier so those are not dry. Those are very greesy. i used to get heartburns as i was eating those. And usually people puts some ketchup, mustard and few wieners between those. I also putted hamburge sauce to make it taste better.

You should really ask for a reindeer stew. After i ate my first reindeer stew at 6 yo , i wasn't even satisfied after man-sized dinner.

Viili is not jogurtti! 😃 it is more sour and it's stretchy! 😊🤔

as a Finnish person i have had only the sausage and the berries. before anyone screams at me i am allergic to basically everything

i have eaten all of them 🇫🇮

Finnish makkara (sausage) is pretty much as you described. It is fine, but completely different to English pork sausages. Although you can get English type sausages in Finland, they are quite expensive because they are made in small quantities by small specialist manufacturers. I probably miss English sausages more than any other UK food since moving to Finland. That and back bacon. And any bacon cut thick. There is no British equivalent to villi. It is as similar to yoghurt as butter milk is to milk. Out of all the huge choice of Finnish berries the presenter could have shown, he picked raspberries... 🙄

viili is not yoghurt! we have very very much different yoghurts but viili is nothing like yoghurt even it looks a bit like that!

This dude is eating everything cold, of course it seems dry or disgusting fridge cold!! Mustamakkara, lihapiirakka etc...... even leipäjuusto is must better if you microfave it little bit but that is ok cold as well.

I must comment here. The meatpies are always super dry. I fucking hate them. Same goes with Finnish sausage (except for rye or blood sausage). Finnish cannot do good sausages. The breadcheese and cloudberry jam I tend to eat almost every week, but I think it depends on households. The berry stuff was really annoying. Basicly we have everyones rights where you can go and pick up berries and mushrooms. Often the berries are blueberries, lincon berries, raspberries, cloud berries and wild currant plants (black, white, or red). Those are the most common ones but with the berries e.g. there is forrest strawberries which has different taste than normal strawberries. same goes with all the berries. So if you buy berries from store, they taste quite different. Thing with blood sausage, there is also blood pudding to the north.

Solid reaction but have to say that original video was poo. I'm sure berries and bread are something most PPL have tested all ready and stuff like meatpie IS cheapest thing from store. This video could have had fried fish from finland, liverbox or mämmi... Or what ever...

Yeah... Viili. ... not anywhere close to yoghurt. I think it has been scientifically proven that you if you like that stuff you have to be sosiopath. (joke) It is disgustiiiiing. Do not ever put that in your mouth. I like all kind of fermented stuff but that is not suitable food for anyone!!! You will vomit i can guarantee. 😁 Also, we don't need a doctor to tell that this guy is sosiopath because he eats black sausage cold, it needs to be heated and it makes it very very good. It is very close to your black pudding. Also, if he does not know how to eat lihapiirakka (meat pie) it's no wonder he does not like it :D If his parents made him eat like that as a kid, they were also sosiopaths :D You stuff all things inside it, like cheese, sausage, onion etc.. and heat it up. It turns to a good and very unhealthy food kind of thing :D Ofcourse you put some ketchup, mustard and maybe mayonnaise there before you eat it. (You can eat it cold if you are so frikkin wasted after night out that you can't manage put it in microwave :D )

Well, 99% of this video is bs. Including the "youghurt". So, forget everything! Try to find a video, how these food items are properly prepared and served. You are most welcome!!! And just ask about local food, like in Turku, Tampere, Helsinki, Lappland etc...Best Regards from Finland!!
