Not common breakfast but really amazing hangover food, simple and easy to make. These are also sold frozen in markets and then its cubed potatoes and sausages, sometimes small meatballs too. You just empty that on to the pan and cook egg with it, add some ketchup or mustard, red onions etc go really well with it. I can see that salted pickle to go really well with it too but haven't tried it. But yeah, its leftovers from the fridge, maybe potatoes from yesterday, some meat sausages, meatballs, or whatever you find from last meal and just add egg, throw it all on the pan and its done. Seafood is really really big thing in Finland but we prefer freshwater fish instead of ocean/saltwater because we have so many lakes and rivers, salmon, trout, pike and vendace(muikku) etc, we love our fish soups and just eating fish with mashed potatoes is really common. If you ever come to finland you have to try creamy salmon soup, its amazing and I have never heard someone dislike it.

We don't eat pyttipannu for breakfast. We eat oatmeal a.k.a kaurapuuro, cereal or bread for breakfast.

This is what my mom did for dinner when she didn't feel like cooking a full dinner from scratch. My mom worked a lot when I was growing up and when work really kicked her butt we always had pyttipannu. I like it the traditional way, the frozen premade stuff isn't nearly as good...

Pytt i panna (Swedish for pyttipannu) means basically "things in a pan". It's originally a leftover food. Just like pizza but in different form. Not a common breakfast in Finland. That second food at Elite restaurant didn't include lingonberries. Those berries are sea buckthorn berries or rowan berries. I believe they are seabuck thorn but it's bit hard to say from that video. Sea buckthorn berries are the best berries in Finland IMO.

Bear is normal here in Sweden, usually bear sausage. Most people buy them when there is a "market" event in the small towns. :)

Pyttipannu was my favorite school lunch.

Nahkiainen = Lamprey is a small fish belonging to the family of lampreys. It often lives in freshwater environments and is particularly known from many Nordic countries. The lamprey is typically less than 20 centimeters in size and has an interesting appearance, especially concerning its tail and shape. One distinctive feature of the lamprey is its ability to produce an electric charge, which helps it both in hunting and defending against predators.

Tauno Palo not pano (trust me there's a big difference)

He was mostly in swedish speaking parts of Finland.. so if you want to go to Ekenäs, the finnish name is Tammisaari!

Oh, no, Pytt-i-panna isn't a breakfast dish at all. It's a hardy working class meal and you traditionally drink Porter with it.

Vorschmack was the favorite food of Carl Gustaf Emil Mannerheim (The Field Marshal, The president of The Republic, Commander-in-Chief during the wars)

We can eat pyytipannu for breakfast, but it is not traditional. It normally comes in a bag frozen potatoes, onions and sausage and you fry it up add your favorite seasonings then with the fried egg on top, Normal breakfast in winter is porridge(oatmeal), or rye bread and butter with cheese and sliced cucumber, coffee or tea. We like salmon and our own lake and river fish.

If Elite interests you then another similar, equally legendary restaurant is Kosmos just middle in Helsinki city centre. Traditional dishes, nice classic interior

Runeberg was a Swedish speaking poet of late 1800s before Finnish independence. The National Anthem lyrics are his original in Swedish

We eat a lot of fish but not seafood really. I love seafood though... "Nahkiainen" is also super tasty! I have also eaten bear every once in a while too and I buy a few kilos of reindeer every year. I have like 4 kilos in my fridge at the moment.

I feel most Finns would usually have a light breakfast. Porridge, cereal, bread. Mostly carbs, very little protein. Pyttipannu definitely feels more of a lunch/dinner type of deal.

Yes, bear isn't very common and it's usually very expensive. I am not so fond of bear, but I love moose and reindeer.

Most native Swedish and Finnish crawfish are endangered spiecies. The crawfish plague took away almost everyone of them.

Being Swedish I had never heard of the Finish salmon soup before seeing the video on how to make it. It looked so good, I made it myself (after checking out some authentic Finish recipes, since the comments made it clear his was a variation). Very nice! Your videos about Finland have inspired me. I am definitely taking a weekend trip to Helsinki soon😊

I lived in Finland, several places along the west coast, and I loooooove smoked lampreys. You get the best at the open air market square in Pori. Never ever have I eaten a lamprey head, however. You cut it off and then enjoy the rest. My mouth is watering as I'm writing this...

Yes, there's a lot of water areas in Finland, so fish dishes are common. Although not so much the sort of fine dining ones and oddities the guy on the video had. An intro to the topic, and then some fish dishes: "PERJANTAI: Summer Ice Fishing is For Real", "Finnish fish delicacies on an open fire", "Plank Smoked SALMON | How to smoke SALMON? | Bart's Fish Tales", "EricksonFamily Eating Muikku at Midsummer in Finland | Seurasaari" and "1000 years ago KALAKUKKO bread". Not forgetting the essential vegetables: "Dave Cad THE MAKKARA TASTE TEST!" and "Dave Cad TRYING FINNISH MAKKARA | Part 2 | Taste Test Tuesday". Something on pizzas: "Pizza Berlusconi: The Politics Behind Reindeer Pizza".

YES ...Nahkiainen ... so good ..

Unless porridge or omelette, finnish breakfast is cold. Pyttipannu is a lunch or a dinner.

Oh yes YLP! The best pizza I have ever had anywhere in the world!

"Seafood" is not common no but I mean freshwater fish (perch, pike, zander, salmon, trout, crawfish etc.) is quite common but usually self-caught I'd say. So people who don't fish don't have much but people who do will.

Jebus, this man loves to represent cultures, "britt in Finland" yet all he has shown as far as I have watched, is Swedish food, and places with Swedish names. Also he was blasting that "drill thing" in the car, from no ware, quite the "drilly" lad indeed...Yes, yes..but do not take my word for it, since a am a mere mortal. Instead ask the holy Tod Howard for wisdom.

I don't like most blue cheeses either but the finnish Aura blue cheese is so creamy and well balanced that I just love it!

As a tourist, it is often difficult to find places to eat that have reasonably good prices. I recommend gas stations like ABC and Neste and some shopping centers that have a restaurant. In smaller communities, food is cheaper than in big cities. Market places, where you can also buy a muikku, salmon plate also in larger cities with an ok price.

Bro out here recommending gas station food to tourists 🤯

I once had bear steak in Estonia, soo good. Probably the best steak i ever had.

Pyttipannu is left over it's Finns and I quess Swwedish trditional food! But like all cultures are own left over foods, like Spanish Paella; Italian Pizza; Cajun Jambalaya.. But if you can't even handle seafoods, because your allergy! You might surprise how many foods are not safe you! Even exotic meals like Alligator is risk to get hospital, but normal Asian foods might include fish or oyster!

Fish is really popular in Finland. You don't need to live near the coast because there is lakes everywhere so there is fish everywhere. Not everyone eats seafood but most eat "lakefood" and "riverfood" 😆 You can't say that you don't like blue cheese before you have tried the Finnish "Aura". English blue cheese tastes like your grandmas socks. That was not lingonberry it was buckthorn. Totally different berry. I don't know where he got is information but Vorschmack is pureed beef with some anjovies in it and he is calling it a herring budding. 😅

Bruk does not mean manor... Its more like the prduction, living and more similar to what a factory is just that humans were the things processing instead of machines so the scale was larger. So more like the "heart" of the town because everything else was built around it.

Flag: "Kippurasarvi" it's the only place where you can eat Särä.

Coffee is my breakfest. Normally I just eat lunch or dinner depends how busy is my day.

16:50 That's the quality I expect when ordering a pizza in Finland. We have quite a lot of pizzerias with a nordic twist or authentic Italian. Just stay away from kebab places and expect to pay 15-25 euros per pizza. 19:02 Linko pizzabar, Tenho restobar, Ravintola Pueblo Bar y Taqueria, Goose pastabar. All in Helsinki. These are not touristy, but places where locals go.

I have tasted that Vorschmack only once in my life and I'm over 50. It is usually an appetizer on a small piece of bread in fancy restaurant because it was a delicacy favourite of Finland's previous president Marshal Mannerheim. It is not usual to eat it as a main course or nowadays it depends on the restaurant, I guess. I tasted Lamprey first time when I moved from inland to coast in Northern Finland. If you don't think what this fish eats and after you find the right person who catches and grills them himself and knows what he is doing, the Lamprey is delicious fish, best ever. But the season for it is late autumn, during like for a month and they are best eaten warm straight from the oven. After they get cold they are like any other grilled fish imo. I have never eaten crayfish, it is usually the Swedish speaking areas speciality to have crayfish parties with lots of booze lol. And one thing more. The berries on the deer meat were not lingonberries but buckthorn berries, more tangy and sour than lingonberries.

People catch their own crawfish in the countryside, and no one tells their secret spots for catching them. In towns people tend to buy them.

Oh and we did eat a lot of fish (fresh water fish), as my family lived next to a lake, so we fished with nets all around the year, at wintertime too.

hahaha i doupt you should try any "shamanshrooms" in finland :D

The thing about seafood in Finland is that the Baltic Sea is not really a proper saltwater sea even though it's connected to the Atlantic Ocean. The salt content is so low and the waters are so shallow that it's more like brackish water. Therefore we don't generally get any big fish or crustaceans in Finland. Instead, what people eat in their homes is mostly imported Norwegian salmon, and many people also fish for themselves for the local sweet water fish. None of the local fish is widely sold in supermarkets because it's very expensive.

He doesn't eat the crawfish thorougly at all, there's lot of meat inside the claws and inside the shell that he seems just to toss away... what a waste!

You will love Crawfish, its the most delicious thing on this planet however the problem is that you dont fill your stomach. :(

Living 3 km from the sea. Eat fish about 5 x year. Never even tasted crawfish, living In Finland

No need to be afraid of blue cheese in Finland. If pretty much creamy and salty taste, nothing else. When compared to other blue cheeses, they tend to be bitter where Finnish blue cheese, especially Aura cheese, is just fat, creamy and salty treat. So do try, but make sure it's Aura cheese.

Very similar to the Swedish cuisine except the Karelian influence,

I do eat quite a lot of fish, but mainly (95%) freshwater fish from lakes. I live inland.

Salmon soup is kind of artificial as most of the 'salmon' is trout from fish farms... Basically a restaurant food. In rural Finland fish soups are commonly made from Pike, Perch, Herring or sometimes out of Burbot. Trout or Salmon isn't that common in finnish waters.

And I understand people who doesn't want any more eat that fish if lived Eastern Finland! One weapon which Finns used was rivers during wars! If you can weaken ice with running water when soldiers might drop to icy water not nice way to die! But some one attacked our country!

Seafood isn't that big, when we have it it's norwegian salmon or some shit. Now, LAKEfood might be a bit more common :P

Nahkainen I Will Neverever eat. But other fish are really good in Finland

Never heard of Tauno, has to be some local one or just not a legend like Nykänen or Vesa-Matti Loiri. He also curses a lot so his information is probably lacking. I don't know even one child that would dare to say "Scandinavia" here, like they stick to vittu because they know they will have their parent's still after using that nice word.

Se on karhua !! 🐻

fresh water fish not seafood

Traditional Food... In Finland. Well there is a lot thats really good. But on the other hand... A lot that tastes nothing. Literally nothing. Noone i my family knew how to use simple things as pepper, chili or whatever. Salt? Yes. But not in moderation. My granny and uncles warned be about ketchup... And in present time I sometimes meet my Finnish colleagues, and they (still in 2023) seem to turn red when there is some kind of seasoning... Yes: When there is some kind of seasoning. And... Pytt is lunch-food. Noone, since Jesus walked in shorts, has eaten Pytt for breakfast. Maybe if the clock shows something like a "3", as in a very late brunch or a very good (swedish) "vickning".

pyttipanna is not breakfast food. Leftover food and main ingredient potato and then everything else is optional really.

I wouldn't say seafood is common, more rarity, but then again, perhaps on the coastal areas ... I don't care for crawfish, too much work and too much waste.

Yes we eat seafish and lakefishes as well. Those finnish crabs are too expencive to eat so i rather ny Spanish on Chinese. Also there is so little amount the meat that even those "cheap" crabs are very expensive if you think how little you get that crab. I rather buy shrimps and i love chrimps. That nasty lookin corpse eating wormlike thing tastes muddy what i have heard. No way in hell that i would eat that either. Bear i would like to taste. That was very cheap becouse i´ve seen canned bear meet some places and it´s been 400-800€ per kilo 😵‍💫😵. But i can say that i love moose and reindeer. Both are so good for my taste. Those are just harder to get cheap anywhere. If you know some hunters it is easy to get gain, but in general there isn´t any in for cheap price. Rabbit is also good but that is hard to find without knowing some hunters.

Lamprey smells so bad when cooked

I'm Finnish and I've never eaten river or even Spanish crabs like that at home. I think it's more Fin-Swedish (Suomenruotsalaisten) customs. On a Tallinn or Swedish cruise, the buffet sometimes has a river of crabs, but mostly shrimps. Leave alone that worsmak, it is one of those specialties that is not usually on our table. 🫢 I've tasted nahkiainen (lampreys?) but I didn't like them. JUST SALT AND SMOKE WIT FISH FAT!🤢 We eat some fish, but its price has risen in recent years, so yes Finns eat chicken, beef and pork. Naturally, different trendy foods have become more common here as well. Creamy salmon soup, reindeer, herring and, for example, Karelian roast, on the other hand, belong to that category of traditional food. Pyttipannu is indeed a hangover food, but also a way for many to clean the leftovers from the fridge. However, few people eat it in the morning. The most common breakfast foods are porridges, yogurts or curds with various side dishes. For example, with fruits, berries or muesli. For example, in addition to those, we sometimes have Karelian pies with egg butter, cereal, smoothies, coffee and bread. 😅 The strangest for you foreigners is macaroni gruel/porige. In it, the macaroni are cooked until cooked, after which they are added to the hot milk, which is then thickened. Some use potato or wheat flour. it is enjoyed with butter❣️🙈
