im so glad you included your mistake as a vegan. it happens and we tend to beat ourselves up over it thinking we are so stupid. but it happens and im glad you showed it to prove that its okay
I love your videos so much they make me feel so calm. I really appreciate how you don't focus on calories or macros, you just enjoy the food. Also your videos are supper aesthetic so that's really nice too.
When I was in France I ate passion fruit sorbet and raspberry sorbet almost everyday, the guy at the store told me they were just puréed fruit and sugar so I was like 🤝🏻🤙🏻 on my 3rd last day I asked to see the allergens list because I was suspicious and saw that the passion fruit sorbet had milk in it! 😭 I was upset about it for a while but decided just to move forward and be more cautious in the future.
Are you sure that there was really Milk in the sorbet and that it was not only processed in the same factories as Milk products?🤔 Because Milk in sorbet is very unusual
@@silasbock3135 no unfortunately there was, they put lactose or some milk proteins in some of their sorbets to make them more creamy. The raspberry one was luckily vegan but still it taught me to be more cautious and not just assume they are vegan.
I made a mistake with a dark chocolate for a while. I am vegan but can't eat dairy and couldn't figure out why this super dark chocolate would make me sick any time I ate it (I kept attributing it to other things). Turns out there was milk in it >.< Mistakes happen though! You're only human. Live and learn!
@@spookymija ... Veganism is so new around the world that most cuisines can only go as far as oats and tofu, because they think so much about protein. They'll get better, as time goes by, and learn that there is protein in all living food. Takes time. Also, it seems that the oat industry/lobby, has got their tentacles in there.
@@smallfootprint2961I agree, it's an exciting time for the vegan food scene! I'm especially intrigued at all the oats since I had not been familiar with Finnish cuisine prior to watching this video. Also being from LA, oat milk is just starting to make a name for itself among the myriad of milk alternatives. It's also interesting how staple vegan food around the world varies (ie. oats = Finnland, soy = Asia, legumes and corn in South America)
i live in finland and i was so unaware of all the vegan options here but you made me realize that it’s actually alot, thank you for this video it helped me out a little :)
Hey Mina, I just wanted to let you know that there is kind of a vegan sour cream in German supermarkets, too. Actually it's a vegan Creme Fraiche but I don't feel like there really is a difference. It's called Creme Vega by Dr. Oetker. You can find it in any Rewe and Edeka store, I guess. At least the ones in Munich do have them, so I think they should be available in Berlin, too. It's very close to the real thing! I've used it for Tarte Flamme, creamy pasta sauce and dips so far and it's soooo good😊
non vegan by accident story so i was in a restaurant and i asked my family if they knew what the burger was made of and my uncle told me that it’s vegan and with soy joghurt or something. so i was excited cause that sounded cool, so i decided to get it. i ate it, but not the whole burger cause it wasn’t the best. and when i was at home my mom told me that my uncle realized that he messed up, cause it was with some kind of sheep i didn’t know meat and cheese. when u found out, i felt so bad and cried. but it was by accident and my uncle messed things up. sorry for my english, i’m still learning :)
I discovered your channel today and I must say that I love it! I've been vegetarian for almost a month now because I live with my parents so the food is really difficult to prepare and they were overall not happy with my decision. We were on holiday in Spain, eating at a tapas buffet and every this contained meat or fish, I took three pieces of what seemed like cream cheese, turns out it was actually fish. My mother said to me that if I liked it I should have eaten it, and my father was really hard on me, saying that I couldn't be that inflexible and that I had to adapt. Felt really bad but now things are getting better! Thank you for showing it's okay to get something wrong sometimes!
I was in Finland a few months ago for 2 and a half weeks, and I am vegan aswell. I found Finland absolutely awesome for vegan food! So so many vegan options in store, even in the small town I was in. I absolutely loved it, and the food. Awwww, I want to go back now :( ahaha xx
i recently discovered your channel after a video of yours popped up in my recommended and since then i swear i’ve been obsessed. i’ve binged watched like half the videos on your channel. you make me want to go vegan so bad!! also the little girl at 2:32 made me laugh
a few months ago i was with my high school class on our last school trip in the mountains. i am from poland and being vegan here is not that easy, expecially in those smaller cities. we were there for a few days and i took some food with me but i didn't have anything for dinner (and there was no kitchen for guests so i couldn't cook for myself) so for 2 days i ate just boiled potatos but on the 3rd day i was really hungry, i didn't have much energy. i was desperate so i decided to eat crêpes(not vegan) that they gave me at the cafeteria but i felt so bad after this! i went to my room and cried for a little bit, i don't even know why. that was so sad that i didn't really have a choice (we were hiking a lot so i used a lot of energy, i was weak and tired). in poland it's really a struggle when i am going for some vacation with my family or friends and all i can eat is french fries because in my country you can't find vegan dishes everywhere. it's ok to eat fries once or twice but eating fries for 7 days in the row is quiet hard 😂
I remember my dad bought me this *vegan* cottage pie, while I was eating it seemed to real so I stopped eating the pie. I decided to check the package and it said it had lean beef in it🙈🥴I felt so sick and I couldn’t stop crying ( keep in my that I haven’t had meat in 2 years) but we all make mistakes🙃
This is one of my favorite videos you’ve ever posted!!! Your calming voice, beautiful content, yummy food.... what more could I ask for? Keep up the content Mina!! You’re so gorgeous and looked like you truly enjoyed yourself ☺️
You are so freaking adorable!! I love your cooking videos. Makes me realize how basic I eat every day. Also, I've eaten so much vegan ice cream with forks. Oof.
We have an African restaurant here that offers traditional Thieboudienne (a Senegalese dish) and a vegan version of it too. A few months ago I ordered the vegan Thieboudienne for take-away. I had already tried it before and knew that it tasted great. Back at home I opened the box and realized that there was a huge chunk of fish in it this time which made the whole thing look really unappetizing. Since I was hungry and the animal was dead and sold anyway, I ate the rice and some of the gravy (which clearly tasted of fish). The "traditional taste" was really no match for the veganized version, at least I can tell you that. The experience made me sad, but I got over it quickly. Next time I'll open the box before leaving.
Thanks for the video. I found it inspiring. I made a list 10 new things I want to try to make it home! BBQ tofu Curry tofu Raw muesli Apple, coconut flakes, almond slivers? With nut milk Sun-dried tomato paste eat with sliced cucumbers, sliced jicama? Cauliflower puree, cauliflower pate' Chai latte cream with raspberries Vegan meatloaf Oil-free pesto. Try hummus with basil Oil-free sun-dried tomato paste. Use tahini instead of oil? Tomato, basil, and cheese sauce dish Try substituting sour cream with hummus or guacamole.
I once was at a restaurant that had no vegan options, so I asked them if they could make me pasta with tomato sauce mentioning I was vegan. They said yes and brought me a bowl. I ate it but something seemed off. I asked another waiter before leaving what the sauce had in it since it was pretty good. Apparently it was the sauce they cooked shrimps in ...
oh and I also accidentally had a slice of non- vegan toast very recently, because my sister chose BUTTER-Toast instead of our usual toast which is vegan :3
Even in small cities the grocery stores have sooo many vegan products, we have different kinds of tofu/oat block, seitan, tempe, soy bites and sausages, soy kebab, pulled oat protein, broad beans protein, falafels, fake meat...
My mother made Käsespätzle- bought vegan ones for me with vegan cheese and put margarine on it. All good, but as I put a generous amount of onions on them and enjoyed them my mother said „Of course they were made with butter !“
I thought I had found the perfect vegan burger - the boca burger - but then a week later realized it had cheese in it. So. Disappointing. Love your videos thanks for sharing!! You inspired me to buy muesli and now it’s my favorite breakfast 😊😊😊
Even in italy you have to do that bus thing and it’s not weird, because it’s possible that you don’t won’t to go with the bus that is coming because your destination isn’t the same, so you have to do the hand thing so they know that you were waiting for that bus it’s just that simple
Don't beat yourself up over the yogurt! When Taco Bell released their nacho fries, I asked if they were vegan minus the nacho sauce substitute for gauc - they said yes. I got home, took a bite - and tasted cheese. There was cheddar powder all over them - I called and explained what happened, they offered to refund it, and I said no, it's okay - just please have your employees know what's in their food before confirming its dairy free. I was upset for a while - but mistakes happen, just do your best
Don't worry about the yogurt just say a prayer for the animal and thank the animal! Happy you had such a great trip I wish I could have eaten all that vegan food sounds amazing... The jack fruit and the Reuben!
it's so great. i'm a native finn, have lived here my entire life. our nature is beautiful and sustainability is a huge thing here. you should visit finland! 💓
Also, although its easy to be vegan in Helsinki (or Turku or Vasaa or Tampere, really any "bigger" cities) , not so much if you live in one of the many small towns in Finland so please be aware of that (most grocery stores obviously have vegan stuff, but if you dont have a kitchen it might be hard)
im so glad you included your mistake as a vegan. it happens and we tend to beat ourselves up over it thinking we are so stupid. but it happens and im glad you showed it to prove that its okay
yeah I appreciate that. it feels so bad but tbh, if we are trying our best and only mess up .00001% of the time, it shouldn't matter at all.
This is honestly the first vegan what I ate in a day from Finland I thought I read it wrong tbh (I'm finnish)
It's about time then haha
same😂👍🏼
Jes, me too!! :D
Izzy sameee
me too :) and I`m from estonia ;) xxx
I love your videos so much they make me feel so calm. I really appreciate how you don't focus on calories or macros, you just enjoy the food. Also your videos are supper aesthetic so that's really nice too.

Finally! Today’s video is a bit long and sort of all over the place and the way I ate was far from perfect - I hope you enjoyed it anyways.
Mina Rome the strawberry milkshake pls 🥤🍓
Hmm vegan Finnish cusine seems to be very oat centric...oat milk, oat yogurt, oat "meat"? but hey, I'm not complaining ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This makes me want to go to Finland so bad 😭
Hahaa I live in Finland
Yesss welcome!
Same here, Iceland and Finland are my dream destinations
Finland is a nice place:)
Hey Mina,
I just wanted to let you know that there is kind of a vegan sour cream in German supermarkets, too.
Actually it's a vegan Creme Fraiche but I don't feel like there really is a difference.

I can support that claim - I found them in supermarkets in Berlin
non vegan by accident story
so i was in a restaurant and i asked my family if they knew what the burger was made of and my uncle told me that it’s vegan and with soy joghurt or something. so i was excited cause that sounded cool, so i decided to get it. i ate it, but not the whole burger cause it wasn’t the best.
and when i was at home my mom told me that my uncle realized that he messed up, cause it was with some kind of sheep i didn’t know meat and cheese. when u found out, i felt so bad and cried.
but it was by accident and my uncle messed things up.
sorry for my english, i’m still learning :)
Ok but why didn’t you read the Menu? :/
@@LittleRockQueen14 maybe they have family that live in the different country and they don't speak that language, you know.
I’m so sorry to hear that! Being vegan is still difficult because not everyone is really familiar with the term. Your English is really good 😁

Thanks for your authenticity & honesty!☀️😊 (showing that how you handle things is the real challenge.)
It’s crazy seeing you in Finland after watching you for YEARS. It’s my country??!
I watch until the end of every one of your videos and am always surprised to think anyone doesn't. Thank you for this amazing channel
Everyone is so happy you went to Finland- I’m not even from there but it’s so cute!!!
You came to my country! WOW♥️ this is extremely cool
Your laugh is beautiful, so joyful and contagious
Omg I’m obsessed with James Blake!! More people need to know about him

Helsinki is my favourite city in the world and I really really enjoyed watching this! thank you so much!
I have been to Finland. It's so good to learn that they are offering so many plant based options.
Im going to finland for 5 months and this just made me so happy omg
ur vlogs always make me feel so relaxed
Your voice is so calming
I've never heard of blueberry soup how cool. I've never thought about going to finland but now I want to go for the food lol
Same! Now that I went I wanna go back

So glad!
So cool you visited Finland! Hope you had a lovely time here X

I absolutely love your channel and your voice is SO relaxing. ❤ from France 🇫🇷
I have such great memories from Finland when I visited there in 2016
I got so many flashbacks watching your video
Omg you were here in Finland!? This made my day haha, also loved how you pronounced Hesburger! :D

today I rewatched your videos and now a new one,wow
YOU WERE IN FINLAND?? OMG im finnish
Loved the video! I hope you have the opportunity to travel some more because these are probably my favorite types of videos
I live in Helsinki and I haven't heard of even half of these places! But I never eat out so maybe that's the case. So cool you came here :D
loved this long video, mina! also i once ate an entire tub of halo top thinking it was the vegan kind and later found out it very much wasn't lmao
Thanks for the video. I found it inspiring. I made a list 10 new things I want to try to make it home!
BBQ tofu
Curry tofu
Raw muesli Apple, coconut flakes, almond slivers? With nut milk
Sun-dried tomato paste eat with sliced cucumbers, sliced jicama?
Cauliflower puree, cauliflower pate'
Chai latte cream with raspberries
Vegan meatloaf
Oil-free pesto. Try hummus with basil
Oil-free sun-dried tomato paste. Use tahini instead of oil?
Tomato, basil, and cheese sauce dish
Try substituting sour cream with hummus or guacamole.
I've had that happen to me before! I've even had accidental mishaps with dairy at restaurants who didn't understand. It happens- but now you know!!
I did not expect this type of video, but it was great!
I once was at a restaurant that had no vegan options, so I asked them if they could make me pasta with tomato sauce mentioning I was vegan. They said yes and brought me a bowl.

I love your what I eat In a day videos...they are so soothing
Are you ever going to Norway?! Would love to see you go there and film a what I eat in *Norway* video😄 xxx
As someone who lives in finland I definitely enjoyed this one!
Yay
all those vegan options😍 i really want to visit Finland anyways, but this is another great reason to go there :)
oh and I also accidentally had a slice of non- vegan toast very recently, because my sister chose BUTTER-Toast instead of our usual toast which is vegan :3
I made it all the way to the end, and all while eating some vegan pancakes!
this seems like it was FOOD HEAVEN :D
Thank you for inspiring my future travels!
Love your videos! Just bought your ebook, can't wait to see what's inside and try your delicious recipes :)
Thank you so so much 🙌
i love these type of videos, they inspire me to switch up my meals & snacks (:
Nice video, thank you! FYI, plain unsweetened vegan yogurt (e.g. Forager Cashewgurt) works really well as a sour cream substitute.
Even in small cities the grocery stores have sooo many vegan products, we have different kinds of tofu/oat block, seitan, tempe, soy bites and sausages, soy kebab, pulled oat protein, broad beans protein, falafels, fake meat...
you are so much fun to listen to, what a great video
Helsinki doesn’t get enough recognition for the vegan heaven that it is! Cool vid
I want to go to Finaland. The food at the stall reminded me of vegan camp out made me so happy. I would have loved the festival I think.
I can’t belive my eyes when I read title , I’m finn
Thank you fore the info, looking forward to try the vegan scene in Finland!
Omg THE CURE!!! 😘
Yaay such a long video from Mina!
your videos just make me want to eat up the whole supermarket! WOAH! love it
I loved the video! You shouldd make long ones more often.
I have by an acident ate gelatin. And i was so sad. But you really help me realising, that it is “okay” and theres nothing i can do about it❤️

Yes similar in Germany or at least my small home town
Yum!😍 I love your videos so much!
I always enjoy your videos! 💚
💜
Awesome! I would.love to go and even more when I see so many vegan options
The rice pudding pies sound like fun to make! But also like you need a lot of patience 😅
Omg I'm from Finland😇💙 I didn't know you were here ( or are ).
I needed a vid like this .
I didn't even realize it's 24 minutes long
love your what I eat in a weeks (no what I eat in a day could ever) heheh
suomi!!!
the porridge topped with apricoty oat yogurt looks gorrrrg *-* OMG ... unfort here in Italy we don't have these many options :((((
There is vegan sour cream in Germany tho (if you let creme fraiche count) : it's creme Vega by Dr. Oetker
That's cool, where can you buy that?
@@stefanierose9823 I'm not 100% sure, but I think REWE or Alnatura should have it
@@dorohepp8061 Thank you, can't wait to try it :)
Great video, you make vegan life seem so fun!
Come to Sweden Mina! Oatly is EVERYWHERE since it originates from here.
i'm from helsinki so this was so fun!
I have watched this video three times.now i'd love to go to finland,i have heard it is a very nice country before.maybe one day😊
