I can tell you another interesting fact about 1952 Olympic games in Helsinki. At the time, Finnish athletes were wearing Karhu running shoes. Those Karhu-branded running shoes had three symmetrical, but slightly inclined stripes, as a logo. Along came two German men. Very decisive-looking German men. They walked straight to the Karhu-running-shoe-brand Finnish owners - and said "We want to buy your brand"! After a couple of days - negotiations and stuff - the deal was made. Karhu-brand (with those slightly inclined stripes) was sold to those decisive German gentlemens. For how much? A million? Ten million? How much? Todays money; 1600 euros and 3 bottles of whiskey. Who were those buyers? Those German men? One of them was called ; Adi Dassler. Better known as : Adidas.
If you ask Nordic people they will tell you that the blue berries name are ”blueberries”. That is the only name for them here. The most common in the Nordic countries are the ”wild” blueberries that you pick in the forest. But in recent years imported bushes with blue berries that you grow in the garden have been more common. We call those berries for cultivated blueberries. The confusion stems from the fact that they in US call the wild-picked blueberries for ”billberries” and only the cultivated (fake) ones for ”blueberries”. Nordic people have never used the word ”billberries” for our blue berries we always have picked in our forests. The two different varieties are both called blueberries of which the most common one is wild blueberries.
That "Bread cheese" - which is a direct translation - is more commonly known as "Sqeaky cheese". I tell you this; Try a Finnish Squeaky Cheese, Reindeer flakes and cloud berries - and you're forever here. You can't escape. You'll live happily ever after as a Finn :)
When referring to the Greek stuff, you must mean tzatziki? It's yoghurt with grated cucumber, garlic and extra virgin olive oil. It's actually all over the Mediterranean. In Turkey it's cacik.
I totally loooove how u say "how would others like salmiakki. Also most of blueberries that has taste id gathered by hand in the foredt... and let me tell there is millions of people gathering them!!... well maybe not millions but a lot
You should check Madventures. A Finnish travelling show that aired even in USA. Its not about Finland tho. (4.season(?) was but it wasnt good as the previous ones)
The Finnish flag with the red coat of arms with a lion (Suomen vaakuna) in the middle is the state flag, whilst the plain blue cross flag is our civil flag. If the flag has the coat of arms and tails like a bird (so not fully rectangle), then that's the military flag. If that flag also has the Cross of Liberty in the upper left corner, then it's the presidential flag.
36:17 Raffel is very, very mild in taste. But it's still nice sometimes. There's also a little package that has these Raffel chips and they're lightly covered in fazer chocolate... It's good. Salty with sweet, give a try if get a chance. 😊
Raffel is mild but very good for dipping with garlic dip, or if there is no garlic dip available, I put a litlle bit of garlic powder and grill spice mix in the bag, shake it and it is goooooood....
By the way. Salmiakki (and Ammonia) has an interesting history. It was first mined in Egypt near a temple dedicated to the god Ammon/Amun. For this reason Romans called it Salt of Ammon = Sal Ammoniaccus -> Salmiakki
Helsinki was initially supposed to host the 1940 Olympics, but got to host the second Olympics after the war after London, which was supposed to host the cancelled 1944 Olympics. Welcome to the 1952 Helsinki Olympics, if you want a climbse: "1952 Summer Olympic Games in Helsinki, Finland - CharlieDeanArchives / Archival Footage". The first World Championships in Athletics was held in Helsinki in 1983. All seven days are available for viewing: "1983 IAAF World Track and Field Championships - Day 1". A story about Tampere, a Russian and blood sausage: "Miksi Tampereella on Lenin-museo?".

Liver casserole is the best casserore there is, i just eat it with potatoes and littlebit more of salt. And lingonperry porridge should be made with another type of porridge. that is called mannapuuro.
Why tar is so rarely mentioned in these kind videos? That is definitely unique Finnish stuff, edible tar. And we also make shampoo and other products out of tar. I bet smoky and bit sweet tar could hit big in "smoky and sweet BBQ" countries like USA and AUS.
Mikkyd has nothing thats better or even close to Hesburger. only thing here that was worth to buy from McDonalds where cheese burgers when they were just 1€ but since price has skyrocket not worth the visit
Everyone always goes for Grapefruit Long Drink, even though there are so many other flavors. For example, Cranberry Long Drink, Pineapple Long Drink, Orange Long Drink, and so on. Cranberry lonkero is my favourite.
I think I have tasted them all, and I like all of them. I love pineapple long drink in summer, and cranberry when sitting in a hot tub. But still the original grapefruit one is my favourite and that's the one I mostly go for.
Tampere is my hometown and mustamakkara needs TAPOLA MUSTAMAKKARAKASTIKE aka. Blacksausage sause and pure cold milk. When visit tampere you shoud visit Tapola mustamakkarabaari , blacksausagebar
About reindeer... i have tastwd it and it definitely tastes waaaaay different than normal grocery store meat as he was saying it tastes like meat..... dont know what is wrong with hin but at least it will be good anyhow
I am not a fan of seafood either but our creamy salmon soup is just awesome, it is not so fishy as most fishy meals. He must have gotten his from some bad vendor. Or something.
@@mauronicolo89 Dude you must try it, I suggest you get it from "kauppahalli" which is next to the main market"kauppatori". Kauppatori also has many good Lohikeitto vendors but I think they might be a bit more expensive.
Mauro should already know how to pronounce "Fazer" correctly by now. The word "sauna" is already starting to sound right. Usually, just a couple of kilometers of driving with your wife or girlfriend is enough before your nerves are completely shattered.
Great Wrath is what called in Finland isoviha. Russians killed, tortured, raped and took as slaves many, many Finns. It is estimated that they took more slaves from Finland that was ever taken from Africa, as in a % of population. Sweden never did much for Finland, they used Finns as cannon fodder. Later under Russian rule things were a bit better for a while until they started to subjugate Finns, which later led to the struggle for independence.
i must say as finnish that we are ceperated for 2 groups people who eats in hedburger and second one in mcdonalds and as my opinion hesburgers burgers are swimming in mayo you cant taste anything trough it 🙄
Hesburger is just bad. Only people in Varsinais-Suomi love it (I think it originates from there, at least the founder lives there). McD is better, Burger King is even better imo. But I hate the fries in all of those, I used to work in McD (Kokkola, Finland) and the smell of fast food fries makes me nauseous.

Kyrö has won some gold medals with their rye whiskey.

I am not a salmiakki fan, but home made salmiakki-kossu liquor.... Love it!
Yes, was nice and entertaining vid❤️🇫🇮

Mauro, you were super awesome again 😍 I loved the video and your reaction 💟
Maybe Mauro come next summer to here...
If yes he should visit Porvoo( it is boring but absolutely beautiful)
Would definetly cook! (although the house will not be in a video-friendly state :D) if he were to come to finland

Yes, i was thinking of exactly that one!
As a finn who loves watching your videos when I'm tipsy, loved this one. Also I was drinking cocktails made with Kyrö gin that are so tasty
I totally loooove how u say "how would others like salmiakki. Also most of blueberries that has taste id gathered by hand in the foredt... and let me tell there is millions of people gathering them!!... well maybe not millions but a lot
Yes, every autumn we pick berries and mushrooms from our backforest

Try salmiakki and beer! keep salmiakki in your mouth while you drink beer (lager). Surprisingly good combo.

Jam on the bread, never, maybe tried 2 times at the hotel breakfast, and only on light toastbread. Never with rye.
Hesburger mayos are superior
Mikkyd has nothing thats better or even close to Hesburger. only thing here that was worth to buy from McDonalds where cheese burgers when they were just 1€ but since price has skyrocket not worth the visit
Jam on bread? You weird southern people 😄
😂😂😂 In Italy we spread it on a dry biscuit called Fette Biscottate
Yes, jam only to salty biscuits with cheeses

If you'll ever go to Kauppatori in Helsinki, don't eat anything there, because the seagulls will attack you :D
😂
I am not a fan of seafood either but our creamy salmon soup is just awesome, it is not so fishy as most fishy meals. He must have gotten his from some bad vendor. Or something.
If you sell it like that, i will definetely try it when i will travel to Finland :)
Salmon soup must definitely be made from fresh fish. It must never be rancid ☝🏼

Heat breadcheese microwave and after that add cloudberry jam, Mauro test it sometime :D

The church is a Greek Orthodox Church and has been since the WW2…
around 50:00 well its not SO important but without raisins its a dogfood.
I can't understand how someone can EAT everything without coughing- It's a gift!
liver casserole is 5/5 amazing. That guy is delusional from that part
Funny
The kids love sweet sugary mayo but they use it way too much
😅😂
i must say as finnish that we are ceperated for 2 groups people who eats in hedburger and second one in mcdonalds and as my opinion hesburgers burgers are swimming in mayo you cant taste anything trough it 🙄
I prefer Rolls over Hesburger, if you want fast food. Or Kotipizza.
Um...Avoid Hesburger.
in fact, avoid ALL FAST FOOD places.
Finnish food is incredibly good. No need to resort to fast food places.
