    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  ปีที่แล้ว +8

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

    • @jout738
      @jout738 ปีที่แล้ว +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.

    Your friend is so nice and polite. The stuff in salmiakki is used as medicine

    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

    • @DAIKIFinlandLife

      That's an interesting saying :)

      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.

    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!

    You guys are so positive. Always looking for nice things to reflect on. That's something that we Finns could really step up our game in.

    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.

    • @DAIKIFinlandLife

    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.

    • @DAIKIFinlandLife

    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 หลายเดือนก่อน +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.

  • @sket179
    @sket179 ปีที่แล้ว +3

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

    • @zzzceci
      @zzzceci ปีที่แล้ว +2

      yup. and sometimes a snack in between them.

    • @DAIKIFinlandLife

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

    • @M-io3nd
      @M-io3nd ปีที่แล้ว +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.

    @MikoSquiz 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

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

    @em5759 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    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.

    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  ปีที่แล้ว

      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.

    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...

  • @cs16Tactics
    @cs16Tactics ปีที่แล้ว +10

    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
