Hey there fellow hungry travelers, Mark here at Walters World and today we're here in Turku, Finland at the Kaupaha Levy Market Hall
0:05
and I'm having a few snacks while I walk around and so it got me thinking, what are some of the snacks that you should have when you come here to Finland
0:12
Well, as I'm walking around I saw the Ljepa Justo, which is basically like a..
0:18
It's not hard, it's not soft, it's more like a squeaky cheese, this is one of those kind of traditional cheeses you might have when you're here
0:25
So it's a nice little snack you can grab while you walk around. but I think some of the more important snacks to know about when you are here
0:31
how to deal with their sandwiches. And we have a sandwich here. Remember, it's not a closed sandwich
0:37
It's an open-faced sandwich. And two of the biggest ones you're going to see, one is basically a shrimp salad sandwich
0:43
which when you see it looks like that's going to fall off the bread and ruin my clothes
0:48
Yet somehow it all sticks together when you have that, but that's one thing, this shrimp salad sandwich
0:53
Another sandwich you might want to grab is the salmon sandwich. Say that 10 times fast
0:57
and basically it's smoked salmon on top of that same rye bread and the thing is if you're at
1:02
somebody's house or you're going to be living here for a while you'll notice that one of the
1:05
go-to snacks you're going to have is not necessarily a sandwich but it's that rye
1:09
bread with some butter on it or the rye bread with cheese on it that's kind of like a go-to
1:13
snack when you are here and then next another little handheld treat i think is also important
1:18
is the liapirca which is just a meat pie which just looks like kind of like a dough ball with meat inside It very simple very tasty but very easy and very cheap to get Now another snack you want to have
1:29
when you are here and actually it might show up at your hotel breakfast buffet is the Karelian
1:34
pie or I'm sure I'm going to push this the Karelian piraca. I know I can't speak Spanish very well
1:39
anymore but what it is it's like this like rye dough hand pie and it's got this rice porridge
1:45
inside. And what's fantastic about it is when they give it to you if you get it with the egg
1:49
butter. They literally take up hard-boiled eggs and chop them up and stir it up in
1:53
with butter and put it on top. So good. Like that's one thing
1:57
you have to have. And then there is my personal favorite treat
2:01
snack, here in Finland, and that is the korvapusti, or the cinnamon
2:05
rolls here. You will love the cinnamon rolls when they are here. And you'll see like the big
2:09
sugar things on top. It's so good. And you can get it all over the country. And that's one
2:13
of the things. If you want to meet Finnish people and hang out with them, go get a coffee, a coffee you know go get a coffee and a cinnamon roll with them and they'll sit and chat with you
2:20
for hours because that's the thing you do when you get a coffee and a quarter of a busty so
2:24
definitely definitely definitely do not miss out on the cinnamon rolls and what's nice is those
2:28
things are available not just at breakfast but all day long if you're here in the markets i've
2:32
already gotten a couple i've gone by the bakeries so it is one of those nice little snacks to grow
2:36
now when you are here in the cafes there will be little baked goods and pastries and stuff you can
2:41
have one of the things i recommend if you see blueberry pie and it going to look more like maybe a blueberry tart but it probably be translated to blueberry pie That another really good sweet treat to have If you looking for like a snack with your coffee that a really good thing And the thing is if I look at the sweets in general here in Finland they love their candies
2:57
They love their sweets here. And some of their sweets aren't so sweet, but what you'll see is candy shops all over
3:03
So if you want to grab a snack of candy, you can do that. Fazer, Fazer, however you like to say it, that's a chocolate brand here that has all kinds from dark to milk chocolate to all kinds of flavors of chocolate
3:13
that's a good one i usually bring those back as gifts to my friends um there's another little
3:17
snack that the locals like in terms of candy which is called salmiaki which is um salted black
3:23
licorice and it might be like a little like pasty form like you know like a hard candy form or it
3:29
might be in like you know licorice like string licorice you can have that um it pops up to some
3:33
places it's an acquired taste if you don't like black licorice you won't like salmiaki but it's
3:37
a very popular snack for the locals when they are here um i know uh kind of a popular snack i had
3:43
after school when i used to live here was the fin crisp or basically like the cracker bread you know
3:47
it's the rye bread like it looks like it's a really thick thick thick big cracker just put
3:52
some butter on there maybe a slice of cheese or something else or just butter itself and just eat
3:55
that that was kind of a really quick snack that i'd have that literally the locals will have and
4:00
it probably will show up on your uh on your hotel buffet as well you know and then there's like the
4:06
drinking snacks you can have after you have a few beers when you here i know macarap is when I saw a lot of the kiosks outside you know in the evening time that basically chopped up hot dogs and french fries fried together for like a drunken goodness snack that kind of tasty um you can always hit up hessburger which is a local
4:23
fast food joint like burger joint that's actually i find it way better than mcdonald's their
4:28
caroushumpelainen is like their version of a big mac they'll call it like the double burger or
4:32
something in english but that's definitely something you can get for a snack that i always
4:36
enjoy getting and if you're looking for another bit of candy to take to torture your friends and
4:40
say it's a snack or a candy you get the turkish pepper which goes in the salmiakki vein it's
4:45
actually not from finland originally but it's very popular here you can get that and give it
4:50
to your friends it's not my taste let's say but i think it's something you can do and the thing is
4:55
you have lots of options for just normal snacks like any place you go they have the same like
4:59
chips and candies and things that you do all over the world it seems like here here in finland but
5:03
honestly the rye bread sandwiches the the cinnamon roll those are the ones i really recommend you get
5:09
when you are here because honestly it may look weird when you have that you know the uh the open
5:14
face you know shrimp salad sandwich but it actually is really good and if you sit down and have a
5:19
coffee and have a snack do enjoy your time here because honestly it's one of the times you get to
5:23
meet the locals when you're here and even if you don't you can enjoy places like the kalpahali here
5:26
the the market hall here in turku so have a great time if you have other snacks that tourists should
5:31
try when they come here to Finland, please put in the comments section below so we can have more snacks
