Wow, a big thank you for the positive reaction on this video!!! I feel very grateful :) Check out my Finland playlist here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/dIlo2caep5PKopM.html

These types of videos are fun to watch as a Finnish person, but this one is even better, it's actually researched, you're actually trying the culturally core Finnish foods and not just whatever you can pick up at a store. I appreciate that.

That first almost moist rye bread is called "Saaristolaisleipä" in Finnish which translates to "archipelago bread". So as the name hints its from south west of Finland very our biggest and most famous archipelago is simplifiet from Turku shores to Åland.

OMG that cinnamon roll and other two cakes are total classics. The 2nd one 1:11 is named after Johan Ludvig Runeberg who was a famous finnish writer, very important for our national history. His statue is even centered right in the heart of Helsinki (esplanade). His wife Fredrika made this recipee. The tradition is to eat this cake on the Runeberg's day in february.

Originally these cakes were made by a patissier in Porvoo called Lars Astenius and J.L Runeberg was really fond of his pastries. At some point Fredrika started to also bake those herself and she also wrote down the recipe for us to discover. It is a common mistake that these are the invention of Fredrika Runeberg.

As Finnish I love these kinds of videos. Often we forget to enjoy, appreciate and celebrate our culture, food, nature etc, but watching video's like this reminds me of those things 😊 It's like you look at your culture through the eyes of a stranger, you might falling in love it all over again and understand its beauty ❤

Two of the pastries are only available around February: laskiaispulla (the one with cream and either almond paste or jam) is for Shrove Tuesday, equivalent to pancake day in some countries, and Runebergin torttu (the cake made with almond flour with the jam and icing ring on the top) is made to celebrate the famous poet and author, J. L. Runeberg on 5 February. These are definitely very seasonal treats! The former is known as semla in other Nordic countries.

Karelian pie is best when heated. Bread with shrimp on was likely malt rye bread, known as "saaristolaisleipä", "coastal area folks bread". It is not the only sweet bread, but there are not many. Candy: "Dumle" - translate from swedish "dum le" == "stupid smile". And you missed the meat pies at the railway station.

Good setting, some close calls, and you made it through! People love that Hesburger mayonnaise, so you get plenty of it. You seem like sandwich cake people, so it made me wish you would have come across Kalakukko. Would have been interesting to see what you make of it: "1000 years ago KALAKUKKO bread". Seemed you had that whipped cream bun with jam. There's a nation dividing debate whether that bun is better with jam or with marzipan. If there's one version served without the other, it's borderline discrimination. That salmiakki you tried was really basic product and easy one to dislike. Inside delicious chocolate some gooey salmiakki substance might have been more difficult one for Bobby to reject. Maybe some background info on salmiakki will intrigue Bobby to give it another go one day?: "Why Finland fell in love with salty liquorice"

There is so large range of different kinds of salmiakki candies that are way better.
