Karelian pies are at their best when fresh from the oven or heated. But they are also good cold. A very good snack. And you can put more than just egg butter on top. :)

If you're planning to come to Finland and planning on trying our seafood, don't settle just for salmon. The salmon you get here is mostly farm raised from Norway. I'm living in Helsinki and do casual fishing from the shore here and I'm catching lot of perch, zander and some white fish. Those are really delicious fish and very local. Perch is even our national fish. So in restaurants you should look for dishes with these fish and also fried vendace.

Turku, Helsinki and Tampere are all great. But Tampere is THE city that Finns tend to really love. It's like once u go to Tampere, u don't wanna leave 😅 I love Tampere and I'm finally moving there in october. I also recommend Vanha Rauma (Old Rauma). Old Rauma is part of Unesco heritage and it's so underrated, since everyone is always going to Porvoo, which is similar to Old Rauma, but Old Ruama is bigger and it's less renovated than Porvoo. You can easily get there with a bus from Turku. And if u wanna go there, I recommend to go there around 11am, since the shops are open very limited time. Sunday is the worst day to go there because everything is closed.

'Karjalanpiirakka' is a semi sweet pastry, and 'egg butter' is just finely chopped up boiled eggs mixed with butter. Get those pastries fresh from the oven. And egg butter.

Karelian pie can be made with other fillings than rice (that are in my opinion more authentic) like potato smash, really slowly cooked barley groat porridge -since rice doesn’t grow in Finland this is how I make my pies, also oat groat porridge, carrot smash etc can be used. The original pies are baked inside very thinly rolled rye dough base and is allowed to contain rye or these days wheat (most of us prefer rye), salt and water. Old Karelian people have sayings like, the base should be so thin that you can see towers of seven churches through it, or it is thin enough when a young bride can see her engagement ring trough it. Karelian pies has had Traditional Speciality Guaranteed (TSG) status in Europe since 2003, any other pie that doesn’t meet the manufacturing standards are called rice pie or with an other name depending on the main ingredient. One thing I have to say about salmiakki, I honestly think it’s not a very good idea to people give others opinions like “yeah, its really bad” why not say something like “I didn’t like it, but you try it out, you make your own decision”. I do have foreign friends in US who like it as well as Salmiakkikossu=salmari, is salmiakki melted in vodka like alcohol and most of my foreign friends who doesn’t do salmiakki actually like it. So please, let people make their own decisions.

So true. With the Karelian Pie, it is all about the area/region your recipe comes from. Thickness of the dough/crust varies, filling and amount varies (I prefer the plentyful half-mixed porridge (no rice)/half-potato mix of my Great-Gran from Greater Savonia!). Size can vary somewhat, but I understand the general guideline is that the size/shape should be around that of your/womans' palm.

Finland is not cold in the summer at all. It's cold from October to April at least but June, July and August are pretty warm. Basically that means the temperature can get to -20 to -35 in winter (or colder) but the summer is around 15 to 35... so it really depends on when you get here. Finland is at It's coldest at the beginning of the year so that would be Jan and Feb, I'd say Feb is the coldest month while July tends to be the hottest. May can be cold but it can be hot too. Also, it kinda depends where you visit. I live pretty much in the middle of Finland so.... that's my perspective. All I can say is make sure you take care of yourself and dress up really warm if visit during the winter season. -15 is quite cold and anything below -20 is no joke. It's literally colder than your freezer is set to.. so remember that. The summer is quite beautiful but the fall is quite nice too because of the colors in October. Definitely google "Lapin ruska" or "ruskamatkat" in case you wanna spend time in the nature. The Lapland tends to be colder so the colors are at their best in September I guess.

and if you do decide to go to Norway, Sweden and Finland I recommend taking a ferry/ship from Sweden to Finland ( or the other way around).

The minched meat pie you said looked dry can be eaten as it was offcourse but. The pie is pretty greasy so when warmed its not that dry. Also it is often filled with other things like sausages and maybe some veggies even. Also you often put ketchup and/or mustard or perhaps mayo in it. lots of different filling options you can make it even better. The image was just a basic version with nothing in it.

If you like Architecture, then Helsinki is a must to visit.

karjalanpiirakka is so good i highly recommend it

As a Finn, imo the best way to go between Stockholm and Helsinki is by the car ferry that goes overnight. It's basically a cruise ship with great restaurants, bars and comfy cabins and usually cheaper than flying. Don't go between Stockholm and Turku, the shcedule is brutally early and the cleaners will kick you out of cabin at 7 am.

If you want to try Reindeer - try it in the North. No matter which country, you want to get it in the Sami lands of "International Lapland". I guess that in a pinch, some fancy high-end restaurant in Helsinki 'can work' but it just isn't the same without that somewhat laid-back attitude of the North. Difference in quality, feel and taste is huge! And depends on the age of animal too! Don't waste your time with frozen reindeer(-mince) that the most restaurants use for their dishes. You could grab some "game meat" (central european deer) from the store and get the same experience much cheaper..

Cognac salmon done on open fire '' loimulohi'' and smoked salmon. Try cheeses also, you' ll love them.

You can take cruise ship from Stockholm to Turku or Helsinki or other way, no need to fly Sweden to Finland or Finland to Sweden. Boats leave in the evening and arrive in the morning so you can have a rest while traveling country to country.

Thing about meat pies, you won't buy them as alone, they'd be filled spices and sauces of your preferences.

This is at least the second video where Wolter explains about how Finnish people are able to peel a potato in a couple of seconds. But he doesn't give any context to it, so I sort of feel like explaining what this is about, because it may be done differently in other countries. In Finland, at home, potatoes are almost always boiled with their skin on and they are also served that way. At the beginning of a meal, the potatoes are passed around first and then everyone peels their own potatoes. There are usually a couple of small plates at the table where people can put the potato peels. Only after everyone has peeled the potatoes, other dishes are passed around the table. At least when I was a kid, we had potatoes at school at least once a week precisely so that we'd learn to peel them with the same knife and fork that are used for eating. That's part of normal table manners here. If you go to visit someone else's house and don't know how to peel potatoes without making a mess of it, that can be a bit embarrassing (at least for an adult). What Wolter is referring to here is that since we all have plenty of experience about peeling potatoes at a meal, we can do it very fast. At least compared to an American who maybe has never done it before.

We had a Russian guest in Finland and when we served potatoes with the skins on and started to peel them, she just looked super uncomfortable and ended up eating them with the peels on. Afterwards she just commented: "I felt like a monkey not knowing how to peel them".

That jam with meatballs is more Swedish thing. We don't usually have jam with them in Finland.

So the corellian pie (Rice pie) it's wonderful, it's more salty with an porridge like rice middle - you usually have it with eggbutter :) - Cinnamon rolls are Super normal in here and definitely the better ones are in Finland :) - Rye Bread (ruisleipä) especially RUispalat which can be toasted as well, is wonderful especially if you put some cheese and meetwursti on top!

I would recommend staying in Tampere or Turku, and visiting each of them (and Helsinki) during a trip to Finland.

Friend, if you ever come to Finland, avoid R-Kioski if you're serious about saving money. R-Kioski's are more or less the last resorts for Finns whenever they're too busy to go to a proper grocery store or if all other stores are closed. R-Kioskis do sell some food that's indeed quick to grab and eat, but they're also known for being much more expensive. For example, a bag of candy can cost up to 1-2 euros more than in the regular store.

I would highly recommend visiting Rovaniemi (also just happens to be my home town, so somewhat biased😅), but since you wanna try reindeer this is the place to try it, I would also recommend trying to get a Finnish family/friend/random local to make you sauteed reindeer/reindeer stew. I can volunteer for it. Also theres plenty of local fish to try like perch, pike-perch, vendace, whitefish and so on and ofc flavoured herrings, like mustard, onion, blackcurrant and the list goes on and on.

I dare you to try and make "munavoi" or egg butter. It's crazy good and after you know what's the basic one like, you can make it your own. You only need hard-boiled eggs (I'd say around 2), butter, and salt. There are two ways to do it, the traditional and then the "omg why didn't I think of making it like this" method. Let's start with the traditional one: Peel the eggs and mash them with a fork until coarse. Soften the butter a bit either in room temperature or carefully by microwaving it. You want it to be soft, not liquid. Mix the butter with eggs and season with salt. Boom, done. Enjoy on a bread. The second way of doing it is cracking a couple of eggs on a pan and make scrambled eggs. Take the pan off the heat and let it cool down a bit before adding cold butter. It should soften up so that you can mix it all together. Season it, put it in a bowl and enjoy. If it's too warm, pop it in the fridge for a moment.

Karelian pies are a very thin rye crust filled with thick rice porridge. The porridge solidifies pretty effectively in the oven, so after they're no longer boiling hot (they are kinda floppy hot), you can eat them like a slice of bread. On their own they're pretty neutral sweet/savory wise (there isn't any sugar in them, but the rice porridge is made with milk, which has a vaguely sweet hint to it especially after it's baked), but they are almost without exception eaten with savory toppings, like deli meats and cheese or smoked or cured salmon. And naturally the mandatory egg butter. That meat pie looks nasty (super dry), don't get them at a convenience store or a grocery store if you want a good one. It's a seasoned mix of ground meat, onion and rice inside a brioche type dough that is deep fried. Get one at a cafe or a bakery, or if you are out late at night having a few drinks (or more), you should try one from a "grilli". As a late night snack you'll often get it stuffed (kind of like a meaty hot dog bun) with various things like steamed or grilled sausages, fried eggs and all the usual hot dog fillings and in my personal opinion, it's the second best thing right after "pyttipannu" to ward off an impending hangover. The service isn't slow (unless you're using US standards), but it is going to feel very similar to the UK in the friendliness department. While the servers do not depend on tips to pay their bills, if you get great service a modest tip is always very, very much appreciated. You as a tourist will likely get a little extra effort to the service in hopes of a tip too.

"Karjalanpiirakka" (= Karelian Pie) is a pie with a thin cover made of rye dough and inside of it can be rice or barley porrige or mix of those both (made with milk). My Finnish Karelian grandmother used to make them also with a smashed potato kind of filling. The once you buy ready baked in normal stores or supermarkets are actually not called "karjalanpiirakka" but just "riisipiirakka" (= a rice pie), because the name "karjalanpiirakka" is a protected name to be used only for the original stuff and those market pies have wheat on the dough and are far from the original hand made "karjalanpiirakka"s.

I you visit Finland, you can combine it with Sweden easily. Take a ferry (quite nice ones here and good restaurants) from Helsinki to Stockholm or from Turku to Stockholm. You can stay several nights in Sveden, or just take "a day in Stockholm" cruise. Silja Line is a little more posh and pricy option, Viking Line is almost as good but little cheaper. Or make it 3 countries. A Ferry from Helsinki to Estonia takes no time at all.

Go to Stockholm and after few days take over night ferry to Turku. If you stay there few days, you can go to Helsinki by train for day or two.

Depending on available time and money, I recommend the following; Direct flight to Rovaniemi, Finnish Lapland. A day/week in Rovaniemi and Lapland (a week hiking??), then either by plane or train to Helsinki, where a day or two will be spent enjoying food and sightseeing. Then an overnight "the party ferry" to Stockholm/Sweden, where a day or two sightseeing, then a train to Copenhagen, where a couple of days will be nice sightseeing. If you have children with you, you should book a day in Sweden to Kolmården Zoo (train stop in Norrköping), and a day to Legoland in Denmark (Billund, about 2 hours from Copenhagen). An alternative to staying in Helsinki is to hop off the train to Tampere or Hämeenlinna for the night/evening and continue by local train to Helsinki for a day before the ferry trip. And from Copenhagen a flight back home. 6-10 days, depending how much you have to spend.

Rice pie sounds horribly mundane and honestly I wouldn't even consider it if I didn't know how good it actually tastes. Do not accept one without egg butter on top. Its like eating a burger with no patty otherwise. Cinnamon rolls with coffee are 10/10 in both countries. If you try rye bread, please put some toppings on that bad boy, butter, some type of meat, cheese, salad and tomato, its amazing. Don't go with just butter and say meh, you wouldn't enjoy a piece of white toast with only that either. Meatballs are much like the swedish ones but imo sweden does it better. Salmon is huge here and very expensive, but so fresh and nice. Mushrooms are also fresh, straight from the forest in many of these local markets. Salmiakki can be brutal but it's an acquired taste. Like you said, maybe as an adult... Reindeer meat -doesn't matter which of the three countries you try it in, the area in which they're grown is very similar regardless. Definitely try it in a stew though. Being a fan of thick bases you'll probably like the blueberry/apple pies and even the pancakes. All are thick boys. I agree with him on Hesburger, it's amazing. If you love mayo (not the US "mayo"), then Hesburger is for you. They usually LOAD those burgers with mayo. I would recommend Turku or Tampere instead, but trains are easy to catch from Helsinki. The prices aren't too different but the whole atmosphere definitely is. One thing I'd have to disagree with the video creator are the R-Kioskis shown at 14:23, those are ridiculously expensive and no locals really use them unless they absolutely need a quick snack. Like you said the meat pie looks dry because it probably is. Those kiosks are a scam, don't ever enter one for any reason other than absolute starvation.

Welcome to Rovaniemi 🇫🇮✨👌 Our city is diverse and international. I like this city center where there are several different restaurants and hotels. A restaurant called Nili, you can get Lapland food. In the summer, Rovaniemi is quieter, but in the winter many people come here to vacation and, for example, to ski. Of course, many tourists wish to see the beautiful northern lights and go on a Husky safari, or some go for a ride with a reindeer. I know that especially English children don't like reindeer meat, because they love reindeer as animals. But we northern peoples have reindeer husbandry and we make a living from them. Some have cows or sheep, but we have reindeer. This was a short review from Rovaniemi 😊 Incidentally, Santa also lives in the Arctic Circle 😉🎅🏻🤶🏻. *In addition, I would like to say that all our food is generally clean and good. You should try, for example, the Rice Pie, which has a mild taste. Try the heated and cold versions. Likewise, meat pie is a very good quick snack. You can also eat good, hearty salad portions with meat and cheese. If you come to Rovaniemi, Comico restaurant might be right for you 😉🤔

cinnamon rolls/2,38part (especs if they are SELFmade, not from shop) with ice-cold coca-cola, after saturday night sauna... :D used like eat those when i was kid/younger ps: sometimes if u buy them on supermarket chains or stuff, they may be too sweet etc so thats way i woud recomend have them, like smaller cafe/bakery or smt who makes those themselfes and taste is better but just may own opinion/taste preference of course =:D

A road trip through english-channel to Denmark-Sweden-Norway-Finland confirmed! Sorry Iceland. :D

If you take a trip between Sweden and Finland you have to stop for a day or two on the Åland Islands.

Finland and Sweden has a lot of the same traditional foods, since Finland was a part of Sweden for several hundred years. A lot of infuences mixed back and fort at that time, and even after Finland become a part of Russian empire, since most people lived near the cost closer to Sweden than Russia.

You might also like the nice people and places in Tampere also... and the people are quite open in Tampere also as compared to Helsinki. I think there migh be a lot of nice people in Turku , too. Some of my cousins were from Turku originally. Of course there are always lots of exeptions on people but on the overall the people seem to be very open and helpfull in Tampere , the whole mind set is different and the pace of people walking on the streets.

Hwell, here I am, in Helsinki, Finland, hwatching this and below the monitor is an opened sealable Lakupala -bag. Hwell, oh hwell. Not going to eat it anymore today though as it is getting late. Should seal it, but instead I am hwriting this.

Our cinnamon rolls are best because they are named korvapuusti = "slap on the ear(a bit too loosely translated) or get slapped silly/bitch slapped"

in Lapland, we have more reideers than people. But dont neverever ask how many reindeers reindeershepher have, thats rude, its same thing that you are asking how much you have money in bankaccount. in Finland, we dont like to talk about money, political issues or religion

Hesburger mayonnaise is insane. I do not like mayo that much EXCEPT Hesburger mayo.

I hate salmiakki, but love liqorice - so not the same, at all. I also would travel to Tampere, and take maybe train to Helsinki for day trip (or few days). Pretty cheap flighs from stanstedt to tampere..

oh, there is WAY more cheaper towns than turku or helsinki in finland. also there is way more beautiful sceneries than in capital area... thought i like the old buildings but i love to live in "nowhere" i mean in small town and house is in middle of forest and nearest neighbors are about few kilometers away. at least.

If you come to Helsinki, I can be your guide ❤

People do tip in Finland too😊

Thought they shouldn't. A living wage is a thing to uphold.

My ex and our son are fishing all the time and bringind me fresh fish. Salmon, trout etc.

I would eat salmon everyday but here atleast in Finland it's fricking expensive :( that's why I eat fish fingers, sour cream dill sauce and lemon and mash potatoes, nom nom :P i never use jam with meatballs cos it's better without lol, with Kanaviillokki food we use blackcurrant jam, that's tasty! and FAZER has best candies in the world!

Funny... Dwayne mentioned wanting to visit Sweden, Finland and Norway. Great, you will certainly like, and be liked by, all. But I, and I am swedish, have the notion that Dwayne would _vibe_ more with Denmark. Don't know why.

If you’re going to Scandinavia and the northern countries of Europe may I suggest that you start in Denmark, make a detour to Norway, then Stockholm, Sweden. Then take the cruise (TallinkSilja or Viking Line) from Stockholm to Turku and then a train to Helsinki and from Helsinki there are cruises to Estonia aswell.

Karjalanpiirakka - Karelian pie or Karelian pasty

You could go from Stockholm to Turku on a boat, which is an experience in itself. Or vice versa.

2:20 its sweet

First, nice video!

Actually that 8 € salmon soup is quite cheap. It goes usually 12-13 €. Even in Turku. I think Helsinki is 15% more expensive than other cities. I mean the actual center of the City

Finland ist The Best !!!!🇫🇮

Rice Pie can make it also potato, that is potato pie?

i promise my grandmas smashed potatoes and reindeer is the best

as a finn i have thought since i was small kid that the potatoes are best WITH the skin, when you peel them i find it very wrong, also if they are few hours without skin they become very "skinny?" idk how to explain it but people call them rubber potatoes... and i hate that. also the skin has the most vitamins and stuff so.... it is way more healthier to eat potatoes with the skin than peeled potatoes!

Finnish cinnamon rolls are better. You should do both, Turku and Helsinki. Tervetuloa Suomeen/welcome to Finland

Biggest culture shock will be "wrongside" driving cars :D

In my experience Helsinki is slightly less expensive than London, so plan accordingly 🙂

jepulis, its not rice pudding, its rice porridge, ricepudding is more sweeter

If you eat in finland, you will sooner or later end up in a Hesburger. The thing you do in Hesburger: order a pepper mayonnaise with your fries. Won't regret it.
