Verivorsti sausage is one of the must be dish starting from the end of november trough the winter :)...this is the taste of childhood, especially with the lingonberry jam and sauerkraut with grits . Probably the younger generation is likely to replace it with some unhealthy fast food, but not my children:)
#1. * seatbelts: danger to protect you from sudden crash is fairly low and vast slippery plain (it's not impossible though). Much worse scenario is falling through ice, and the seatbelt might end up drowning you instead. * the dark side which is akin to it: "mustjää", potentially quite dangerous for unweary - always worthy to mention on every opportunity. #2 in fairness, there's not the single point where there's "blood oozing out" of it. Blood is thoroughly mixed into the dough before stuffing those into the sausages. There are some other aspects which make it less favorable or seriously big "no-no" for fairly many: the word blood, and that that traditionally pig blood is used in those tend to be the major ones (but, nowadays there are alternatives, and bloodless/meatless traditional alternative is "tanguvorst" - nowadays even the "shell" is usually fabricated). #3 - always been a rather big no-no personally. Another is clubs, bars, etc. neither have ever been dating grounds for me. But on the other side - couple's or family's small business has never been an oddity. Rather normal more than anything. #4 marriage - "it's my and my partner's business, and of no one else" attitude seems to have it's part in it. That said, there are always some couples that depart - it may easily end up very regrettable experience for one of the two, if they have avoided any legal bonding - through that they essentially have given up all legal protection by themselves from ending up entirely homeless overnight in worser scenarios. #5 yep, sorta. This is regional too - change the town (or district in some cases) for a while, and you'll be happy to encounter a familiar face. On the other hand, likley because of this, Estonians usually end up having quite quite a lot of "teretuttav" (hello acquaintance) - in the quite very literal sense. Certain amount of people that you encounter frequently, but don't know nothing about them, and typically communication is exchanging just a "Hello!" at most. - now, I've been living rural for quite a while by now, and out of touch with certain urban aspects by now. But I think that the aspect is kinda self-disciplining in a manner - you'll have easily tougher time escaping the karma for being mean or cocky towards others around you (public self vs online anon may easily be in sharp contrast with that one) - people around you might not know you in person any more than you do, or even care to do - but they do know your face and end up learning the associations with the face whether they want to or not, especially if associated with memorable acts. And there's quite a lot of people around you like that. And, yeah, it is the bad news which travels the fastest. -- public toilets (cafeterias, etc): if you'd end up leaving a mess at there, the next person shall know about that. At least in my "favorite" cafeteria, what would follow, is that that the next person whom is welcomed by that mess, immediately turns around, and audibly declears about the situation to the staff - during the moment everyone at the cafeteria are gonna going to learn about that as well... They might have been somewhat more forgiving towards foreigners or struggling mothers, but certainly not towards a local teenager or someone drunk... Advice: sure, somekind of a poo-poo may happen to anyone, but Estonia it's certainly not the wisest of actions not to attempt to clean up after yourself - unless you wanna end up being known as the Mr Hankey of the neighborhood...
I actually know two estonian teachers who are married, work in the same school, their classrooms are right next to each other and their names are Tiia and Tiit. It sounds like a bad comedy show but they are very professional and act like coworkers while at work so I think that it's not innaproppriate to have your spouse as a coworker yk.
woah you have a lot of friends if you see at least 3 everyday :D I sometimes see them but then as a big introvert I do something disturbing and I usually go on the other side of the road orsomething so I dont have to say hello or talk to them :D I do see at least 3 people I know everyday when Im in a place like saaremaa for example...but not in tallinn
Verivorst is not a delicates is Estonia but traditional food ;) You should try it with cowberry jam or pohla moos in estonian, you can find it in every store here ;)
@@KohaAlbertyep, i left also commented here that i am waiting for december just to get them in stores 😁. I feel like i am in childhood and everything feels warm around me and future is so far away... when i have them on the table :)

At least for blood sausage I can say that I do like them (may be not every recepie or every producers ones are good). But yes, as a matter of fact - very similar product is available in many countries. So far I like Estonian structure of a sausage a bit more - but I haven`t get to have a chanche to try too many from other countries. But I would not offer them for my guest from other country as only option! For me - merrage - it is just a made up rule. Actually it is a deal between two people and for my opinion it doesn`t need to be proved by third parties. (Please - don`t say that to my fiancee...:)). In Estonia as well not too many years ago it was bad for wemen to have kids and not beeng merried, I think that it is outdated rule and people have to have freedom what they are doing with there lives personal wise.
As an Estonian I really dislike the blood sausage and I never eat it during Christmas time. Also as far as I know, dating at your workplace is usually not encouraged and in case of a boss dating his or her employee, it could be considered as a sexual harassment so usually even if someone is dating, they are trying to keep it on the down low. About your other points I do agree with you.
How is that possible that you are not in love with blood sausages?! I am waiting the whole year to get them in store at christmas!! 😂 You should try it with pohla moos and hapukoor ;)
@@BeEzZZzZ1991 because even the Estonians are different from oneanother - for as few there may be us. Certain things differ by regional customs to personal preferences or diets.
in my opinion estonians overall keep their romantic relationships down :D I have been with my bf 8 years and we never kiss in public I have seen, yeah hold hands maybe but we are not very romantic publicly
@@HK-gm8pe I'd argue that behaving reserved in public is just keeping personal matters private, not "keeping romantic relationships down". As for the 💋: there are some differences between musi or keelekas. Rather it's few becks over a kiss marathon.
I know a blood sausage wery well and generally speaking, if it's maked rightly then it's kinda delicious stuff, but when i bought a polish "kazanka" i instantely found out this is a real disaster. I dunno what they do with this but this is just disgusting.
it seems in order to make new videos and get more views you repeat a lot of things u already mentioned in the past man. Plus, I bet you won't find that person in Kriistine 90% of the sundays ;)
Bashing Estonia like a native. You've truly integrated.
It's not bashing if it's true. 😉
The first thing is incredible relateable. Everyone knows everyone lol.
It's a blessing or a curse, depending on the situation.

Glad to have you here Taavi !
Verivorst is third dish in Est,most important dish is "Mulgikapsad ja mulgipuder"
@@Riddic90 in the mulgimaa.
(Not that it's not important for Estonians, but there's certainly regional preferences and traditions).

I'm Polish and I hate kaszanka too 🤭 (the blood sausage with a misleading name, "kasha/groats" being the stem xD)
I'm Polish and I love blood sausage (kaszanka) :D.
I know a blood sausage wery well and generally speaking, if it's maked rightly then it's kinda delicious stuff, but when i bought a polish "kazanka" i instantely found out this is a real disaster. I dunno what they do with this but this is just disgusting.
i am estonian and i find it disgusting. cant believe i ate that stuff as a child 🥴
omg i wanna bicycle on the ice road
