The Balti jaama Selver is one of the smallest. It is like corner shop. In bigger stores the sections are much bigger. And products on those pallets are like discount offers which are make for like two weeks or a for a week. Also Selver is on the expensive side shop here.
Estonian mustard is probably in some different section than the bottled condiments section. It's really concentrated/strong. Stronger than horseradish (and usually in a metal tube). Finnish mustard is very sweet in comparison but nice for some uses. And mustard is called Sinep in estonian.
I am a Finn and I regularly get some Pöltsamaa sinep from the local Baltic products store. Great stuff! Would love to get more Baltic things to the supermarkets, which would bring the prices down, but on the other hand I like supporting those smaller private stores.
Estonians mainly eat only 1 type of mustard and it is "Põltsamaa kange". It's in the cold shelves and it's very strong. Finnish mustard has too mild for us.
Sinep is mustard n Estonian. Strange you did not find mustard in the store, because actually Estonian mustard is a very popular product in Finland. It´s very strong and similar to Dijon in taste.
Love your content guys! Would just like to point out, that Estonia likely has the best mustard in the world and it's called "Sinep" (a small yellow tube sold in the cold section). 😉
Have to mention that every supermarket we have sells pretty different products. Like if you can't find your favorite ice cream in one supermarket you can probably find it in another. Common things like milk and eggs etc. are same but mostly everyone have something different.
Things on pallets are for current or future discounts and usually are only sold in Selver for a short time. If you want a good rye bread then don't take peenleib (fine/small grain bread..) but vormileib (shape bread). Vormileib is usually black and has square shaped pieces (not because of toaster). Kodukandi rye bread is a also one that is quite good. Colorful one at 4:19 was not Marzipan but a thing called "Linnupiim". It is basically souflee. I recommend to try it. Also I recommend candy made with kama (has Kama written on it). Quite good and not sweet (or at least not too noticeably). At 5:10 the candy box with massive Estonia on it, is Lithuanian. They have salmiakki ice cream and salmiaakki candy in Prisma.
Lastevorst (sausage) is best(most popular in estonia) for doing Potatosallad with. The bread you held in your hand is really good. Mostly u eat it with butter+vürtsikilu. Garlic-ryebread is really good snack with beer. Estonia has alot of mustard but you just didnt look good enough :) mustard is in dairy section. In the cold and not where ketchup is like in finland.
As an Estonian I'll explain the Selver Express So you swipe your card from the top of the computer and you get that 'gun' as you called it and you scan your items. It shows you how much would you spend and later you but it back in the big machine and you go and just swipe your card on one of the machines. You're welcome
As an Estonian, it's very funny how y'all pronounce the words, but they came out pretty good! Tbh it was very fun to watch the whole video, very interesting how people from different countries think about this place, even if it's just a shop visit 😊😆
@3:42 Marzipan is a confection consisting primarily of sugar and almond meal (ground almonds), sometimes augmented with almond oil or extract. In Estonia we have different flavors of Marzipan: regular, raspberry, Vana Tallinn (liquor), coconut etc. Those underneath are not marzipans, they are "Linnupiim", more like a foamy-milky filling in chocolate as the name states in direct translation ("bird's milk"). That bread you don't recommend beforehand wasn't the black bread most Estonians like more, it was "peenleib" ("Fine bread" is the least healthy due to the high content of wheat flour, but people like the sweetness and less acidity of this product, as well as the pleasant taste of cumin). @5:44 not cottage cheese (kodujuust) but actually curd (kohupiim). @7:48 Salmiakki aka salty liquorice ice creams are not offered in all of the stores. As you said, it's not quite Estonian flavor.
Those sausages that are in plastics are usually ones you make cold cuts from, bolony etc. Marzipan is what you make when you grind almonds in flour and then mix it with bit water and maybe sugar. You get the same taste if you chew almonds for very long time.
Actually, marzipan is only ground almonds ( almond meal ) and sugar. It's consistency is a soft dough- like mixture used mainly for sweets, candy, baked products or desserts. Very popular in Scandinavia, nordic and Northern European countries.
6:23 That type of sausage you cut into slices and put on a sandwitch or how I eat it, fry it on a pan with onions and use it as a burger patty. That kind of "burger" is called Porilainen here in Finland and it is something between a hotdog and a burger.
You should try traditional Estonian food "kama". It's made from kama flour(wheat, barley, rye and pea) + keefir (in Finnish named piimä) + little sugar
0:50 usually in Finland the most popular coffees (Juhla Mokka, Kulta Katriina etc.) are sold without profit (even when it's not in sale), they're so called "throw-in products".
Not these days. Normal price juhla mokka is 5.90 and sometimes u get those 3-4€. I don't think that shops sell that they make minus many euros every packet. Kulta Katriina it's not same quality.
Martsipan is a pretty well known sweet in the world that was first made in Estonia. It's mainly made of crushed almonds. In English it's called marzipan.
You should go to bottle shops such as Sip in Telliskivi (or a whole bunch of others in the old town) to get some actually _good_ Baltic beers - or just visit the Põhjala brewery in Tallinn to have them on tap with some great bbq food too.
These packaged sausages are a local custom. Estonians are used to buying sausages in bars and mostly everyone knows what they taste like. It's easy to cut open - you cut off the end with a knife and you can easily pull off the packaging film.
Oh my! So many lovely foods in Estonia.... and you hardly got started. Yes, Estonian Rye breads... wonderful. Estonia cheeses, also wonderful! Yes sausages, I prefer the individually cased ones. Used to be 25 years ago that a good pood (food shop) would have an open chilled case of them on display. Before everything became plastic wrapped. And also 25 + years ago, there were two types of toilet paper for sale... white paper, and brown paper, take your pick. I recall on our trips to Estonia in the mid to late 2000's then our children loved imported Curry Ketchup. I believe imported from Germany. Oh you missed so many wonderful Estonian ice creams! Again 25+ years ago, you would reach into the freezer, select your flavor choice by label on the cap lid of cardboard, the rest of the item was a barrel shaped cone, unwrapped. Selecting your choice flavor, purchase, peel off cardboard top, and enjoy. A not common flavor I liked in those was vanilla with raisins.
You were in the smallest(almost) supermarket in Tallinn. But the sausages are the same kind mostly from the soviet times, hense that kind of packaging has stayed.
Hehe, fun times, altough you chose to visit one of the smallest Selvers. For next time, mustard is in the cold section 😊 boxed garlic bread is a crime, it is best to make yourself. And random category stuff in the middle are campaign offers, they are not usually like that. Thanks for the video, interesting perspective
Try make the bread sticks yourself, the store ones are low quality. You just fry the bread on a pan & squeeze some garlic in and you're done. Kohuke is legendary tho.
You absolutely must try kuuslauguleiväd, or garlic bread in a restaurant. They're basically the same thing you found in the market (in a bucket), but they are fresh and insanely good, especially if you like garlic!
6:44 you press the knife blade under the metal clip and saw through the packaging, then when you are done cutting slices you wrap cling film around it and place it in fridge. 7:55 true, we arent big fans of salmiakki or anything related to that. Also best ice cream is Vanilla Ninja Mustards price is 1.50€
Our only and right mustard is sold from freezer next to the milks! We do actually love mustard but lot stronger and natural one than Finland:). Most common mustard what we all are eating is made by "Põltsamaa", the same brand wich makes soups you saw. So next time please go find our right mustard from freezer section, it's called "SINEP" and the right one is in small tube. Bit lighter ones are there as well, wich are usually canned in class jars.
We have the right mustard and it can be found in the refrigerator where cheese and butter are usually found. It is sold in a smaller tube and is available honey sweet English version or very strong like Finland one. Estonians always have mustard on their table, you just couldn't find the right one.
Corn oil is normal and not cheap , Steve . It has a higher temperature resistance . Marzipan is a sweet basicaly made of sugar and ground almonds , it has arabic origin and is very famous in Italy . Big kisses , sweets 😘😘😘
@@carlagoncalves8414 Although it is believed to have originated in Persia (present-day Iran) and to have been introduced to Europe through the Turks, there is some dispute between Hungary and Italy over its origin. Marzipan became a specialty of the Baltic Sea region of Germany. In particular, the city of Lübeck has a proud tradition of marzipan manufacture (Lübecker Marzipan). The city’s manufacturers like Niederegger still guarantee their Marzipan to contain two thirds almonds by weight, which results in a juicy, bright yellow product. Another possible geographic origin is Toledo, Spain (850-900, though more probably 1150 during the reign of Alfonso VII, then known as Postre Regio instead of Mazapán) and Sicily (1193, known as panis martius or marzapane, i.e. March Bread). In both cases, there is a reason to believe that there is a clear Arabic influence for historical reasons(both regions were under Muslim control) and there are also mentions in The Book of One Thousand and One Nights of an almond paste eaten during Ramadan and as an aphrodisiac. Other sources establish the origin of marzipan in China, from where the recipe moved on to the Middle East and then to Europe through Al-Andalus. In Toledo, Mazapán is also one of the city’s products. Almonds have to be at least 50% of the total weight, following the directives of Mazapan de Toledo regulator counseil.
@@n00blamer Thanx , lots of information i didn´t have . But still seens it has arabic origins ( didn´t mean the country , but the people ) . Or at lest seens it was spread by the otoman empire that had middle east and the balcans under its thumbs . Thank you for the info . It´s so rare on the net people replyng with info and not i know because i know 😘
we do have mustard and we do eat lot of it. It tastes different from the one that is common in Germany for example, it's spicy and hot. It's always in refrigerator.
You can also find those pufuleti snack in finland with a differnet name. Sometimes you can find them in the babyfood section as many give them to their toddlers as a snack
I am estonian. We do have mustard. Even local brand ones, not imported. It was most likely in the fridge close to eggs and butter in particular shop you went.and its packaged in tubes like toothpaste. Flavor vise its even spicy.
Estonia is a mustard country, but in a smaller amount used while eating... maybe because mustard is usually stronger here than in Finland :) "Põltsamaa kange sinep" you should try! Careful tho . . . I use fingertip (thumb) amount in homemade potatosalad (ca 5kg)
I'm Finn and I really like cooking, so I have to have Dijon in my fridge at all times, all recipes call for it when mustard is needed. Because of that I was kinda forced to like strong mustard. It was since I always have it, it's just easier to use it instead of buying some other mustard. Is Estonian mustard stronger or milder than Dijon?
The problem with salmiakki in Estonia is that we didn't have it in stores during the soviet era and most people are not used to it. My grandfather brought some from Finland and I grew up totally addicted to it. But when I offered the rare treat to my best friends as the most precious gift I could think of, they spat it out. So disappointing.
Recent statistics showed that at the moment food product prices are higher in Estonia compared to Finland but we still have 3-4 times lower wages. Needs some good managing of money to get through.
Finally someone who feels the same way about our usual sausage packaging lol. I hate those ones in film packaging. Cut it open, take a little and then it dries up.
Next time you visit here in Estonia . . . please check out a place in Järve Selver, there is a pub/restaurant called "Amps" . . they have the best garlic bread and really really tasty BBQ burger with french fries:) . . . When i go there i always say "this is the best garlic bread in Tallinn"
Hi, Mustard Man! In Estonia you didn't find mustard because you looked in the wrong place. They are located on cooled shelves in our supermarkets. I went to a local minimarket today (even smaller you visited in Tallinn) and counted 10 varieties of mustards as a minimum, 5 of them Estonian produce, ranging from super good strong variety to quite mild. They are situated beside a choice of mayonneses and packaged readymade sauces. There are French (Dijon), English, Finnish and Estonian varieties available. If you can't find mustard in supermarkets in some countries, try to look at cooled shelves. To get the scanning device you have to scan your client card first, then scan everything as you go and buy and after inserting it back whole list of your buys appears on the screen. So it will be one touch payment. But now it is a step further with payments through smartphone app. And by the way - you guys always seem to choose a most expensive chain in the country to visit. In Estonia the cheapest chains are Lidl, Grossi and Maxima. the most expensive Coop and Selver.
Salmiakki is of course an item also in EE, weird that Selver didn't have it, in other stores it is available, so better luch next time! :) Also the candy is not that bad, altough it is an aquired taste 🤭
Not sure about ketchup but we do love our sour cream and mayonnaise. Every single Estonian misses these when moving to Finland. Fortunately Finland is full of Estonian food shops. 🎉 Other things are dumplings that we have so many kinds and love, but Finns do not have them at all.
Coffee in Finland is cheap, because there is such a huge market for it. Finns drink more coffee per capita than any other nation in the world and the margin to the second biggest coffee drinkers (Norway) is quite considerable.
6:58 well they do not have the same purpose, first one is something you mostly put on your bread and other one is what you for example use as a part of your meal
Finland is the world's biggest consumer of coffee on a per-person basis. Maybe thats why it's so cheap. Finns consume a whopping 12kg of coffee per person per year, and coffee-drinking is a major part of Finnish society.
Hmm, interesting thing you pointed out at 9:00 - the blue lays chips are actually "sour cream" flavored, but, if i translate the word fromage, then it says "cheese". The packaging has changed recently. It didn't say fromage before, if i remember correctly. colors of lays: brown = bacon, blue = sour cream, orange = cheese, green = onion, black = chilly. As for the alcohol prices, you guys came a bit too late to this party :D Alcohol prices have doubled in recent years, so, the prices you see now, are twice of what they were couple of years ago. If you bother to look around, then you can still get half a liter bottle of beer for 80-90 cents. Re: Salmiakki - we do have it in estonia, but its not popular, so, you probably wont find it in smaller shops.
You can find salmiakki in many shops in Estonia. Maybe not ice cream. But definitely Salmiakki-vodka in many many shops. It is there because Finns buy alcohol from Estonia (its not that common anymore than it was 10 yrs ago).
Estonian mustard packs some punch and it can usually be found amongst... seasonings of all things! If you really want the taste, check there next time! Word of advice though, if you spread it on your hotdog american style... you might throw away the hotdog later! Small dabs....
3:25 How could you! peenleib(rough translation: fancy or high quality bread) is awesome, it has cumin in it and I'm sad they don't sell it in Finland and I live in such as small city that doesn't have Estonia shop, but last time I was in -------helsinki I went to one and they were all out of that bread. S I'm not the only one who think it taste's good
Jacobs coffee and Fake Merrild coffee are on sale like half of the time. At some point they switched the labelling on oils from Vegetable to R**eseed and others. I feel like Mustard is a traditional product that is forgotten, and Ketchup is imported from the West. Usually the same goods on pallets are also on shelves. Jars are better. You can reuse them and open without tools. Especially the Orbit lids. Few products are in cans these days. A sausage is a cheap product anyway. You cut it with a knife and then peel the plastic off. There is also ice cream in this form. Sausages in intestines haven't been around in a long time.
The Balti jaama Selver is one of the smallest. It is like corner shop. In bigger stores the sections are much bigger. And products on those pallets are like discount offers which are make for like two weeks or a for a week. Also Selver is on the expensive side shop here.
As a Finn I recommend you to get a tube of Poltsamaa mustard, that shit is good!
Strong af. It somewhat resembles wasabi.
Pöltsamaa kange!
@@juno961 Most wasabi in other places than the countries that grow em, like Japan, the "wasabi" is made with horseradish. Real wasabi is very pricey.
Proper mustard, opens nostrils :D
As an Estonian i agree.
Estonian mustard is probably in some different section than the bottled condiments section. It's really concentrated/strong. Stronger than horseradish (and usually in a metal tube). Finnish mustard is very sweet in comparison but nice for some uses.
And mustard is called Sinep in estonian.
Estonian mustard is the right stuff, very strong and we keep it in the cold.
And horseradish of course, must try with meat. It's in a glass jar.
I am a Finn and I regularly get some Pöltsamaa sinep from the local Baltic products store. Great stuff! Would love to get more Baltic things to the supermarkets, which would bring the prices down, but on the other hand I like supporting those smaller private stores.
If you want to be naughty you can read Sinep bacwards
Normally in shop you can find mustard Põltsamaa in fridge next to butter or horseradish.
Estonian mustard Sinep is a God's gift to the world! You guys need to find that!
mustard penis :DD
It's originally russian mustard:)
Estonians mainly eat only 1 type of mustard and it is "Põltsamaa kange". It's in the cold shelves and it's very strong. Finnish mustard has too mild for us.
Exactly this! I tried a Finnish brand mustard once and it was very different than what I expected, I think we're just used to the strong kind
Finnish mustard is made for children, not Estonians
Estonian mustard (Põltsamaa) is kept in cold (not in room temperature).
pÖltsamaa- wrong.
pÕltsamaa- right
Sinep is mustard n Estonian. Strange you did not find mustard in the store, because actually Estonian mustard is a very popular product in Finland. It´s very strong and similar to Dijon in taste.
I like penis mustard 😍
cuz they too shy to ask around, terrible tourists, how is this channel even popular, they spreading misconceptions
Estonian sinep is refrigerated, so it'd kept in the cooler section.

I am estonian. We do have mustard. Even local brand ones, not imported. It was most likely in the fridge close to eggs and butter in particular shop you went.and its packaged in tubes like toothpaste. Flavor vise its even spicy.
The mustard in Estonia is split up between the sauce section, jarred goods section and eggs/mayo section. But yeah, ketchup is king as well.
Love and respect ❤
Those rye snacks are top #1 gooood.
The filling for kohuke is curd and it is originally covered with chocolate glaze.
Estonia is a mustard country, but in a smaller amount used while eating... maybe because mustard is usually stronger here than in Finland :) "Põltsamaa kange sinep" you should try! Careful tho . . .
I use fingertip (thumb) amount in homemade potatosalad (ca 5kg)
I'm Finn and I really like cooking, so I have to have Dijon in my fridge at all times, all recipes call for it when mustard is needed. Because of that I was kinda forced to like strong mustard. It was since I always have it, it's just easier to use it instead of buying some other mustard. Is Estonian mustard stronger or milder than Dijon?
Estonian talking Mustard is called in Estonia "sinep," and you can find it in Põltsamaa self where their products are located.
Estonian real mustard are in the cold cupboards. We don't like canned stuff too much. But nice video! :)
They have a Prisma in Tallin where you can get salmiakki ice cream. As far as I know that is the only place you can get it.
All salmiak stuff is in Estonia too, but we call it lagrits.
The problem with salmiakki in Estonia is that we didn't have it in stores during the soviet era and most people are not used to it. My grandfather brought some from Finland and I grew up totally addicted to it. But when I offered the rare treat to my best friends as the most precious gift I could think of, they spat it out. So disappointing.
It's called Tallinn
Recent statistics showed that at the moment food product prices are higher in Estonia compared to Finland but we still have 3-4 times lower wages. Needs some good managing of money to get through.
I myself love kohuke, it's sweet and has different flavours.
Some people don't like martsipan here and yes we do have candys from fazer :)
I've seen Finnish brand mustard in our stores! Though it's a sweet mustard that we don't usually eat, we eat the strong spicy kind in small tubes.
Martsipan is AMAZING with a chewy waffle
Finally someone who feels the same way about our usual sausage packaging lol. I hate those ones in film packaging. Cut it open, take a little and then it dries up.
In estonia most are Sealable packages, and thouse what are not are usually so small 80-110g, that you eat them once.
Why don't you put it into container?
Next time you visit here in Estonia . . . please check out a place in Järve Selver, there is a pub/restaurant called "Amps" . . they have the best garlic bread and really really tasty BBQ burger with french fries:) . . . When i go there i always say "this is the best garlic bread in Tallinn"
Hi, Mustard Man! In Estonia you didn't find mustard because you looked in the wrong place. They are located on cooled shelves in our supermarkets. I went to a local minimarket today (even smaller you visited in Tallinn) and counted 10 varieties of mustards as a minimum, 5 of them Estonian produce, ranging from super good strong variety to quite mild. They are situated beside a choice of mayonneses and packaged readymade sauces. There are French (Dijon), English, Finnish and Estonian varieties available. If you can't find mustard in supermarkets in some countries, try to look at cooled shelves. To get the scanning device you have to scan your client card first, then scan everything as you go and buy and after inserting it back whole list of your buys appears on the screen. So it will be one touch payment. But now it is a step further with payments through smartphone app. And by the way - you guys always seem to choose a most expensive chain in the country to visit. In Estonia the cheapest chains are Lidl, Grossi and Maxima. the most expensive Coop and Selver.
Salmiakki is of course an item also in EE, weird that Selver didn't have it, in other stores it is available, so better luch next time! :) Also the candy is not that bad, altough it is an aquired taste 🤭
You can also scan items with mobile app, so you don't need that separate scan tool at all.
Marzipan is sweetened almond paste.
not so easy. When you go Old town then aacross down hall is oldest pharmacy in Europe and they used to make Marzipan over 500 years.
Estonians love mustard , Finnish mustard is like jam for us. Get the one in a small metal tube.
Not sure about ketchup but we do love our sour cream and mayonnaise. Every single Estonian misses these when moving to Finland. Fortunately Finland is full of Estonian food shops. 🎉 Other things are dumplings that we have so many kinds and love, but Finns do not have them at all.
Dumpling with sour cream, or more correctly pelmeni with smetana, is typical Russian food. Are you Russian?
Coffee in Finland is cheap, because there is such a huge market for it. Finns drink more coffee per capita than any other nation in the world and the margin to the second biggest coffee drinkers (Norway) is quite considerable.
4:11 is not marzipan at all, it's a type of souffle confectionary called bird's milk. It has a marshmallow like flavour. :D
You should visit the vodka section, because it actually exists unlike Finland, Sweden, Norway
Oh, and it's likely to have a little something labelled Salmiakki there. :)
Oh boy u looking at the wrong mustard my man 😂 go get a yellow tube of 'Põltsamaa Kange Sinep' and make a video trying it. Id love to see that.
How can you not know what marcipan is??? Its made out of almonds. And super tasty. Here in Denmark its something you eat a lot around Christmastime.
In normal food product we dont have that much price diferent but in alcohol electronic and hygenia procut can have big price difrence.
Those soup jars look a lot like Finnish babyfood, but on massive jars. Genius!
Not so massive. There are bigger jars of soup or other food.
Teise soups are quite tasty.
man i like youre videos and if you come back to estonia ill be happy to show you some fun spots and hiden food spots
6:58 well they do not have the same purpose, first one is something you mostly put on your bread and other one is what you for example use as a part of your meal
as a estonian i will like this video
those bakery things are shown KG price, one piece costs 52cent on that rice on rye
Finland is the world's biggest consumer of coffee on a per-person basis. Maybe thats why it's so cheap. Finns consume a whopping 12kg of coffee per person per year, and coffee-drinking is a major part of Finnish society.
Hmm, interesting thing you pointed out at 9:00 - the blue lays chips are actually "sour cream" flavored, but, if i translate the word fromage, then it says "cheese". The packaging has changed recently. It didn't say fromage before, if i remember correctly.
colors of lays: brown = bacon, blue = sour cream, orange = cheese, green = onion, black = chilly.
As for the alcohol prices, you guys came a bit too late to this party :D
Alcohol prices have doubled in recent years, so, the prices you see now, are twice of what they were couple of years ago. If you bother to look around, then you can still get half a liter bottle of beer for 80-90 cents.
Re: Salmiakki - we do have it in estonia, but its not popular, so, you probably wont find it in smaller shops.
French have a wide definition to what is cheese.
Fromage blanc is basically yoghurt.
Things on the pallets middle of rows are usually some things that are on campaign or on sale.
I LOOOOOOVEEE the Elephant pretzels its soooo good
Isa peenleib is my favourite bread btw, what you mean it tasted very strongy? :D its perrrrrfect
Mustard is located in the freezer, not like the ones packed with preservatives you are used to
You can find salmiakki in many shops in Estonia. Maybe not ice cream. But definitely Salmiakki-vodka in many many shops. It is there because Finns buy alcohol from Estonia (its not that common anymore than it was 10 yrs ago).
Cornoil is sold in the states, usually it's called mazola
Oh estonia is definitely a mustard country, we don’t put it in a bottle though
Hi my friends,how are You TODAY? I am happy to see You again!🤗🤗🤗🍻🍻🍻
3:26 tbh i love the spongy texture but its often too dry
Estonian mustard packs some punch and it can usually be found amongst... seasonings of all things! If you really want the taste, check there next time!
Word of advice though, if you spread it on your hotdog american style... you might throw away the hotdog later! Small dabs....
The prices in Estonia have gone up a lot in the last 2 years.
agreed!
Pretty much like everywhere 😐
Isn't that normal when all prices all over the Western world have gone up like crazy past few years ?
tbh it's because no more supplies from Russia
@@maksimts And in Russia these prices are like 4 to 8 times cheaper depending on the region.
Mustard in Estonia is called Sinep.. and compared to Finland, it is very strong.
Selver is the most expensive one. Go to Maxima, coop or Lidl foe better prices
Perhaps that isn’t the best supermarket? Check out others…but lots of fun to go through it with you two! 🤗
#Jetfam What are the foods your looking excited to eat again once home
3:25 How could you! peenleib(rough translation: fancy or high quality bread) is awesome, it has cumin in it and I'm sad they don't sell it in Finland and I live in such as small city that doesn't have Estonia shop, but last time I was in -------helsinki I went to one and they were all out of that bread. S I'm not the only one who think it taste's good
the weirdley packaged large sausages are for putting on bread not fried with like french fries
Jacobs coffee and Fake Merrild coffee are on sale like half of the time. At some point they switched the labelling on oils from Vegetable to R**eseed and others. I feel like Mustard is a traditional product that is forgotten, and Ketchup is imported from the West.
Usually the same goods on pallets are also on shelves.
Jars are better. You can reuse them and open without tools. Especially the Orbit lids. Few products are in cans these days.
A sausage is a cheap product anyway. You cut it with a knife and then peel the plastic off. There is also ice cream in this form. Sausages in intestines haven't been around in a long time.
That ice cream, you can find it in prisma market 😃
