    Sure is nice to see foreigner's first impressions of Finland especially when the impression is a positive one.😄

    A well kept secret about visiting Finland is: September might be the best of all the months, not too cold or hot, not too bright or dark, not too much of tourists and people bustling about, and of course you get to see the fall colors, and with some luck northern lights (tho not so spectacularly, as in north).

    • @DAIKIFinlandLife
      @DAIKIFinlandLife  Год назад +8

      That's a good point. I like autumn when you get to see bright daytime and dark evening :)

    • @jout738
      @jout738 Год назад +5

      Still most finns think july or august are the best months, because then you can enjoy the summer. September isent really anymore summer, when its not hot enough for taking sun anymore, when schools starts.

    when I was growing up in Helsinki in the 1960:s we bought salmiakki-powder in the pharmacy, and stuck it in our mouths and loved it!

    We have a saying in Sweden: Eat breakfast like a King, eat like a Queen at Lunch, and eat dinner like a homeless person.
    Nobody does that though, many skip breakfast and eats a massive meal for dinner

      My mom (finnish) said a similar saying to me as a kid: In the morning eat like a king, in the afternoon eat like a nobleman and in the evening eat like a fairy.

    Finland is basically a three meal culture... Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner. But the consist of the meals depend on the work you do. In Agriculture, one eats heavy in the morning, have a light lunch like Coffee with pastry or bisquit... and a heavy dinner... But it seems most office workers have lunch as their main meal. Snacks are a standard of living that makes you fat...

    @valveillen Год назад +7

    I loved your friend taking another bite of salmiakki even though his face said he doesn't want to haha! Sometimes you have to try something a few times before you can decide if it's weird but alright or weird and terrible!
    What a beautiful forest area though, I'll have to visit it sometime when I'm near Helsinki.

  • @NatzoXavier
    @NatzoXavier Год назад +18

    Thanks for bringing friends over to Finland! Its always a joy to see foreigners exploring both food and areas! Also thanks for feeding him Salmiakki. SALMIADAIKKI strikes again!
    Also in my area we tend to say that Cloudberries extend your life, like as in you live longer! Also your friend is really good at english :D
    one day i believe you also will be able to handle the salmiakki taste and fall in love with it.

    I would say the typical finnish eating rhythm is 5 times a day including 2 warm meals. Breakfast (porridge/bread) -> Lunch (warm meal in school/work) -> Snack -> Dinner (warm meal in home) -> Iltapala.
    Great video! Always interesting to see how others view Finland and Finnish culture

      4 to 5, you can leave the evening snack if you want to wake up hungry. I use that trick to make sure I eat breakfast.

  • @sket179

    Finns do eat two warm foods per day: around 11-12 and around 17-18.

    • @zzzceci
      @zzzceci Год назад +2

      yup. and sometimes a snack in between them.

    • @DAIKIFinlandLife
      @DAIKIFinlandLife  Год назад +2

      Ok, but I know many Finns who don't eat warm meals in the evening :)

    • @M-io3nd
      @M-io3nd Год назад +4

      Some families don’t serve dinner. Parents eat a good lunch at work and say to the kids ”you ate at school” and they don’t care or realise the difference of quality!
      Good families make a dinner every evening. And that shows in school; learning ability and other signs.
      Many eats a sandwich only.
      Its ok with adults but not children in age of grow.

    that red you said look poisoous is considered in finland poisonous not in other countries who boil it before eating, sometimes two times and after that it is perfect to eat. sometimes salted for at least 3-4 months before safe to eat.

    • @Jay_Kay666
      @Jay_Kay666 2 месяца назад +1

      Red one is russula and it's not considered poisonous even in finland. Some species taste too acrid or peppery but none are poisonous and many are picked for food.

    Salmiakki did used to be medicine! For coughs and sore throats, I think. You can still get "apteekkarin salmiakki", apothecary's salmiakki.

    Finnish forests are full of mushrooms you could eat. Regular mushroom gatherer have knowlege only several of them. It is lost culture. Young ones recognise only two or three types like cantarelle, champignons and maybe one extra and in the shop with label on it.
    Saussages are sadly below medium in Finland and salmiakki is really bad thing to eat, well Im among them who thinks that.

    こんばんは!
    いつも楽しく親子で拝見してます。
    来週、ヘルシンキに旅行に行きます♪
    ○トレッキングの途中でウィンナーを焼いたその後の火の始末はどうするのが正解ですか?
    次の方が居ないときは、やはり、水で火を消した方がいいですか?
    ○網は洗わなくても大丈夫ですか?
    どうぞよろしくお願いします

    • @DAIKIFinlandLife
      @DAIKIFinlandLife  Год назад

      見ていただきありがとうございます。たいてい他の人がいるので消さないことが多いですか、僕は水で消しますね。乾燥している日などは、火を起このが禁止される場合もあります。網は洗わなくて大丈夫ですが、もちろん汚れると拭いたりはします。ヘルシンキ、楽しんでくださいね!

    Why, whyyyy is it necessary to give innocent people salmiakki? I myself love certain salmiakkis, but there are so many good Finnish candies you could offer instead 😀.
    I love the Richardinkadun kirjasto. Before Oodi opened, I used to go to the upper most floor, sit on the windowsill reading for hours. I loved it especially when it rained. But during the summer heat, it was like a sauna.
