I'm going to be in Finland over Christmas! Let me know what food I should try when I'm back :)
Surströmming. Not finnish but a traditional nordic meme food.
Riisipuuro kanelisokerilla (Rice porridge with cinnamon sugar)
You should try glögi (glogg [or mulled wine{dont know if people drink this else where in the world}])
Try graavilohi on ruisleipä.
Ps. don't believe edit comments (I edit in to on xdd sorry bad English)
LPS Labrador wut are u saying?
Dave The Laatikko Fan
Haha yes xD
"Time for The JOULUKINKKU!"
Giggled for this when Dave said it :'D Best!
fingers
Wow Dave, you are truly starting to nail those Finnish words! You still got that British accent there, hopefully it never wears off, it's cute :)
Foods and drinks you should try:
-Joulutorttu
-Glögi
-Panda suklaakonvehtirasia (literally a box filled with chocolate. It's a classic xmaspresent that people give to each other :))
- All the "Laatikot" you liked, but with raisins
- Many christmas-theamed chocolates made by Fazer (Kat may know, jouluomena, joulusuklaa etc.)
...
Well there's some things that pop into my head when I think about xmas :)
(Edit: Hopefully I got all the typos away...)
Emma Tennilä Yeah I know 😂 I have soooo many typos there... Well you guys can understand what I mean...
Careful with the Joulutorttu. Wouldn't want him to freak out like the Swedes did about them. :D
You didn't try rosolli!
Ojj looks good. I'll try that next time! :)
Good you didn't tbh, it's the worst, it divides ppl even more than the lipeäkala or mämmi :D
I´ve never met a person who doesn´t like rosolli :'D
Rosolli is kind of like, it’s always there, and no-one actually REALLY likes it but still eats it every time xd
Dave Cad It's hell, don't try it.
Hattu pois päästä ruokapöydässä kiitos.
Muuten hyviä videoita joita on ilo seurata.
Markku Manni moi mitä kulujuu
Menikö sun päivä pilalle siitä, että Davella oli lippis päässä pöydässä?
Marko Jounila Osaa se Suomea vähän puhua...
Ja toi "jos et oo tajunnu"
Vitun 7v pentu
veicca taidat olla 14-v suvakki-jonne? Näyttäähän se 100 kertaa paremmalta jos ei ole hattua pöydässä päässä..
Lippis päähän ruokapöydässä kiitos...
Homemade porkkanalaatikko is amazing, way better than the one you get from the stores. I love all the Christmas food except lipeäkala. As for desserts, taatelikakku is great.
Kikatutu Homemade porkkanalaatikko is the best food EVER 🥕
Porkkanalaatikko on paskaa
Lipeäkala never again :D
Karjalanpaisti & karjalanpiirakat have to be my favourite christmas foods by a mile!
Do like karjalanpaisti. Stew all the animals.
Someone already suggested this but I would also like to see you try the Finnish Christmas chocolate boxes ☺ for example Panda and Fazer. They have many different flavours to choose from. And you MUST try Fazer's Wiener Nougat boxed chocolate! Thanks and bye 😄
Leonardo - WIENER NOUGAT IS HEAVEN!
Almost as good as Marabou but too much sugar…🙄
Joulukinkku is the best
Agreed!
+homemade mustard = 5/5
Joulukinkku with Dijon mustard is my favorite combo.
Too bad pigs have to suffer their whole lives for it, and then be gassed to death. Our fleeting pleasures are not worth it.
sky blue so? Pigs are useless animals.
My christmas favourite foods are Joulukinku,porkkanalaatikko,glögi of course and lot of more.
Try KOTIKALJA
More like KARHU III
my favourite finnish food is makaroonilaatikko with maito and ruisleipä
Dave, try tumma limppu with joulukinkku and pickles and mustard. Such a heavenly combo.
My favourite is allways that karelian stew with huge chunks of pork and beef. That mixed with potatoes and fresh mushroom salad is the one thing that binds that christmas dinner together.
Every year, for a week after christmas, I'm eating potato cassarole? and christmas ham.. I mean perunalaatikkoa ja joulukinkkua. Nothing else, only those and I'm loving it.. That's what makes it the best time of the year.
oh boy. you have gotten so much better in finnish. i remember those times when you had trouble with even saying "hello". great work!
Best way to eat joulukinkku is with sinappi and karjalanpiirakka. You should try!
I'm in Finland over Christmas this year so I'll definitely try that!
What?!?! :D
I am Finnish..registered in Finland. My mother is from Vantaa Finland. My favorite Finnish Christmas foods are Date cake, liver caserole, rice and raisin casserole, the gingerbread cookies. Brings me memories of my mummu. My aunt makes a potato caserole for christmas where the potatoes are fermented outside for a few hours. An old Finnish recipe. Oh so tasty. In my Christmas Table I always have vintage Christmas tablecloths that I inherited from my mummu from the 50s after the war. Finnish Christmas food is an acquired taste, to me its part of my roots so it brings fond memories. Hyvää ruokaa.
Lanttulaatikko!! 😍❤️
MISSÄ ON KARJALANPAISTI?
WHERE IS THE KARELIAN ROAST (or karelian hot pot) it is the best christmast food that my family has eaten forever!
Qwertyy I so agree with you! My mother is from south karelia and we have karelian stew every christmas. Best thing ever
Joulukinkku! Definitely joulukinkku is my favorite, in my home it's cooked inside a ryecrust in the old masonry oven. The smell that wafts in the early morning hours is just mindblowing...we used to wake up and have a little ham feast in small hours.. And the crust that soaked up all the flavors is just heaven! You guys missed the beetroot salad! Rosolli in finnish, and it's served with pink whipped cream (unsugared whipped cream colored with beetroot juice). That you should definitely try!
Indeed the ham is the Finnish "replacement" for turkey. And as you said about in UK there being a lot of leftover turkey for sandwiches and other stuff, we also get a lot of leftover ham which is put into pea soup (along with the bones of the ham). This is why pea soup after christmas is simply divine.
My absolute favorite finnish xmas food is this wipped cream thats mixed with beetroot. Its delicious.
My favorite is ham with boiled potatoes and home-made karelian pastries with egg-butter on top. My mom makes killer karelian pastries with both rise and potato filling. Also salmon, mariated and smoked, that's so good.
Maybe you should try ohrapuuro (barley porridge, older but nowadays less popular alternative to rice porridge) if you have a chance. And ideally you should have a cream/soup (fool? Idk a good translation but kiisseli in Finnish) made from mixed dried fruits or raisins to go with it.
Whaat, I am absolutely amazed by how well you could spell all the Finnish names!
My favourite christmasfoods are christmas ham, home made potatosalad and potato casserol. After that some tähtitorttu and hot glogg with raisins and almond slices.
Absolutely great that you are ready to taste everything. I allso like a lot of fish. Muikku ( you know that small white fish ) caviar with smetana is heavenly.
I've also been on a Viking Grace. The most beautiful ship ever😍
It's super nice. I've been on a few of these cruise ships and Grace is just super new and fresh
You said the letter ä on the lipeäkala really well. Nicely done
The Ham is the good shit.. You didn't taste 'mäti' im not sure if it's traditional but I always have it on christmas, it's the fishes' egg things
ah yes, roe! I love that stuff. Mixed with some cream cheese and onion. Slurrrrrrp.
Dave Cad You must try stuffed eggs. My top 2 favourite xmas food after ham :)
Lurjuksen Lurkki Whats stuffed eggs?
@@Ritaaw1 Something like devilled eggs (eggs which have been hardboiled and then peeled and sliced in half and the yolks removed, mixed with mayonnaise and dill or other seasonings and then piped back into the cavities in the whites) My Mum makes those.
Porkkanalaatikko, piparit and jouluhalko (a dessert you didn't try in this) are my absolute faves!
Karjalanpaisti is hands down the best. It's not strictly a christmas food per say, but atleast in my family we always have it in the christmas table.
You forgot rosolli! It's a cold salad that's made of potatoes, carrots, beatroots (and sometimes some pickles). Basically you cook all the ingredients, let them cool down, chop them all into little tiny cubes, mix em up and serve with some whipped sour cream (or just sour cream).
Tämä.
Itse pidä mutta Joulu vakio silti.
Ja Joulupuuro.
I always eat loads and loads of lanttu- and porkkanalaatikko at the side of Karjalanpaisti with potatoes, it's the best thing in my Christmas
Listen to finnish christmas music😄
Got any suggestions? :)
Isn’t 😁
Dave Cad Raskaampaa joulua
Only good xmas song is "Sika" all the other ones are just torture for me. I hate going shopping in december since you'll have xmas songs playing in every single place you go.
Dave Cad -joulu on taas
-Joulupuu on rakennettu
-Jouluyö, juhlayö
-Joulumaa
- petteri punakuono (aka rudolf the rednose reindeer)
- tulkoon joulu
-joulupukki matkaan jo käy
-tip tap
-heinillä härkien kaukalon
-hei kuuraparta
Heres a few for you
Imelletty perunalaatikko is the best along with the joulukinkku! Nothing, I mean NOTHING, can beat them.
My husband was Finnish and the traditional Jul dessert when he was a kid was a rice pudding with an almond baked into it that was supposed to mean that you would either get married the following year or have good fortune. He usually got it but would always hide it in someone else's pudding!
Personally don't really like a lot of Christmas foods because reasons. I however have some that should try because Tradition and some because they're Good.
-rosolli (cubes of cut up vegetables and even some fruit, my family loves it)
-joulutorttu (the star shaped "pastries"(?) with either plum or apple filling)
-kuivakakku (dry cakes, there's a wide variety of these, related to the puolukka-version you tried here - my favourites are cognac cake and so called tiger cake)
-glögi (a warm drink with or without alcohol, add almond slices or raisins for extra feels)
-mäti with smetana (fish eggs, personally I'm crossed out but hey, some people like it)
-joululimppu (Christmas bread, it's kinda sweet)
-actual graavilohi or the vegan version - just want a non-vegan opinion on those and they were a Thing a year or two ago (I think you might have tried gravlax at one point??)
-I think you might have tried riisipuuro (rice porridge) before but if you did so without cinnamon and sugar you're a heathen
-reindeer in any form - this is not a traditional Christmas food in the south at least, but if you've got small children as guests then their expressions are h i l a r i o u s - plus reindeer's delicious
Salmon roe is my fav by far :D i just love how he seems to like everything
Porkkanalaatikko is my favourite 😍 I’m an exchange student in the US right now, going to make some porkkanalaatikko for my host family this christmas!
The reason why lipeäkala is so rubbery and jellyish is because it's basically fish dissolved in lye! (And ofc washed time and time again afterwards so it's not poisonous when eaten :D)
Pity that christmas is only once in a year, because i kinda love christmas foods more than anything. Especially homemade 'imelletty perunalaatikko' and of course joulukinkku, properly made to little bit more like pulled pork. Happy christmas, Dave. Love watching your videos.
Maksapasteija is my absolute favorite. I like to eat it with porkkanalaatikko, because of the perfect balance of saltiness and sweetness.
Oudot on makuelämykset
Also one way of eating lipeäkala (lutefisk) is sprinkling some salt and then pouring some melted butter on top. I usually do one half of the fish that way and the other half with white sauce.
I really liked this video, polite, positive but honest. You just got a new subscriber! These foods are rooted in Finnish culture very deeply. There is always someone who skips the "lanttulaatikko" or some other dishes. "joulutorttu" is the dessert I would recommend!
Now I'm craving for Christmas casseroles.
Dave, you know it's December already. Looking up for that Finnish blog post.
**hides**
Karelian pastries made in dough containing ALOT of rye, baked to crispy perfection in a wooden oven.
Those paired with leftover christmas-ham = D-vine.
My favourite is more common on the swedish christmas table but it's amazing! It's called Jannsons frestelse and it's made with potatoes, onions, cream togheter with fillets of anchovy baked in the oven.Thanks for a great channel! You should visit Åland (Ahvenanmaa) sometime .
each part of finland have little bit different foods on christmas table, for exemble different boxes or different way of making rosolli. At ours we have lanttulaatikko, porkkanalaatikko, maksalaatikko, makaronilaatikko and perunalaatikko. In rosolli we have onion, apple, beetroot, carrot and salted cucumber. At our table we don't have fish at all.
Not sure if it's a traditional Christmas food for others, but my dad's been making smoked salmon for as long as I can remember. It's not just my favorite Christmas food, it's a top contender for my favorite thing to eat in general.
Dave we are waiting for you in finland you are welcome!
I love that you reply to your comments! You should try the ”real” joulukinkku which is a big piece of ham and you cut slices from it. The one you ate looks like the already sliced store bought package version, and I think they taste completely different! The real joulukinkku is so so much better 😍
I love rosolli! Salad with pickled beets, gherkins, onion, carrot!
My favorite christmas foods: Kinkku, bataattilaatikko, rosolli, ja vaaleenpunanen saatanan vaahto!
I love peruna laatikko and the christmas ham!!
My favourite christmas foods are smoked salmon and leipäjuusto with cloudberry jam
ROSOLLI and porkkanalaatikko are my favorites.
I would like to see when you make Finnish Christmas meals. Perunalaatikko, lanttulaatikko, porkkanalaatikko and then kinkku in rye crust (ruiskuoressa paistettu). Then there is rosolli, italian(potato)salad and mushroomsalad. Make you own mustard, there is competive who is making it so "hot" that you have tiers when you eat it. We known that you can smoke salmon so thats easy. Deserts taatelikakku, joulutortut luumuhillolla and lots of suklaakonvehteja :)
My fave is ham with lanttulaatikko and some beetroot salad 🙌🏻
and often the food on ships is bad so damn son when you taste that real shit on land
Jadeew I like buffets on a ship :D
love the swedish meatballs when drunk or hungover! ;D
Dave, you should also try the bluecheeze piparikakku mix with a piece of pear on top. It REALLY makes it pop!
Nice one Dave! this was amazing, it was great to see you spell those as always and that thing that you really enjoy Finnish christmas cuisines! Thank you
Yas you Are sitting at the same table i sat at Two weeks ago
Haha that's awesome!
Vsf ships i sitting too on the same table! :O
jaGe FIN wow are you also watching Dave cad!!!
Vsf ships sometimes :)
Nothing better than piparkakkuja and sinihomejuustoa
I like perunalaatikko most but they are all ok. Hope you liked them!
My favourite christmas food is a secret recipe in my family, but it's mainly mashed corn. Sounds odd but it's even better than mashed potato casserole!
Try the gingerbread and blue cheese with a slice of persimon. That'll explode your world even more.
Your pronunciation is amazing and spot on!
My favorite christmas food is porkkanalaatikko.
My weird christmas food (and probably my favourite food combination ever): Carelian pot with peas and pineapple, plus some rutabaga casserole on the side. If I'm feeling particularly monsterous I will mix it all together. Believe it or not, it's delicious, try it!
Favourite christmas food, hmm. That's a tough one, because there's just so many kinds of very tasty christmas food in Finland. But traditionally i go for wildboar with chanterelle sauce, carrot casserole, potatoes, perhaps some baltic herring in tomato sauce and red wine.
You sound really Finnish when you said ”sipulisilli” on the third time! You’re the best ✌🏻
You MUST try joulutorttu! It’s my favourite Christmas food!😋😋
i love maksalaatikko and joulukinkku
Best finnish food = Karjalan piirakka.
*Laatikot
aw hell nah fuck that shit
@ERROREEL26
Fazerin rukiinen Vuoksenpiirakka 😍
As a Finnish guy my favorites are the Joulukinkku and Perunalaatikko!
My favorite christmas food is christmas ham and all the casseroles 😁 And potatoes with creamy peppery beef strip sauce. I'm glad you liked our Christmas foods! 😄🎅
We always have also karelian stew, boiled eggs, smoked salmon, mushroomsalad, home made mustard and rice pudding. with all those what u ate :) And u have to make ham sandwiches with this bread called "piimälimppu" or "limppu" an mustard
I love porkkanalaatikko, it's ny favourite christmas food, FYI I'm from Finland!
You should try... punajuurikerma (beetroot cream) , sinihomejuusto-persimon pipareita (gingerbread cookies with blue cheese and persimon), bataattilaatikko (sweet potato box) and joululimppu! (Christmas bread)
You should try christmas ham with the smashed potato thing (perunalaatikko), it's my favourite combination
Joulutorttu!! You should taste one. They are amazing.
Omg watching you eat that lanttulaatikko made my mouth water 😂 Lanttulaatikko is my favorite christmas food of all time!
Homemade Swede Casserole and ROSOLLI!😍😍
my favorite christmas food is joulukinkku with mustard and bataatti laatikko in englis its christmas ham with mustard and sweetpotato casseroli
Turkey, meatballs, sausage and smoked salmon. And of course rice porridge in the Christmas eve morning (actually I've eaten rice porridge from the mid November)
One of your best videos. Keep it up!
Graavilohi, joulukinkku and riisipuuro are my favorites
Bataattilaatikko, sweet potato casserole is my faveroti. Also I love salmon and MEATBALLS (made by mom of course)
Now you gotta try 'makaroonilaatikko', it was one of my favourites growing up:)
Thanks Dave !!!
I love bataattilaatikko (sweet potatoe? casserole), and I'm horrified that I haven't seen it on the stores yet. That with some joulukinkku and mustard...
You should also try sekametelisoppa (mixed fruits soup), which is best being still warm and served with cream or riisipuuro 😉
Maksalaatikko
Lanttulaatikko, Piparkakkut, Korvapuustit, Karjalanpiirakkat, Joulun Mureke it's meat loaf without meat.
The meat loaf without meat, it's made for some finnish animist who are vegans and for preople who can't buy meat.
It's beetroot, sliced into pieces, with dark syrup, breadcrumbs, eggs, tomato puree, candied onions, mustard, garlic,
it's to eat roasted after been covered of mustard and breadcrumbs, eating with cranberry jam.
My fav christmas food is rice porridge :D And i love eating just raisins and almonds/peanuts together XD
My personal favorites are partially those you tried and partially some you didn't. Those you tried and that I like are the ham with mustard (French style Dijon is my favorite), all those casseroles you've tried and the fish. From the list of those you didn't are rosolli (salad made from potatoes, beetroot, onions and apples) and a mushroom salad made by my grandmother's recipe with milk caps (rousku) and sour cream (smetana) and of course certain secret ingredients. Also cold smoked salmon is a strong favorite.
Here in Eastern Finland karjalanpaisti (karelian stew) and potatoes, karjalan piirakat (karelian pies) are traditional christmas food :D And ofcourse maksalaatikko is my favorite (christmas) food :D
