Let’s give Finland some more crédit, then ! I’m French and is visited Finlant as a twenty something. It was one of the best trips in my life and I have many fond memories. We stayed in a family that lived about 30 km of Helsinki surounded by a beautiful pine forest and lakes. The food was amazing, I often make kanel bullar with the recipe the family shared with us. I remember the charming city and the Park with the Sybellius memorial,we eat fresh peas out of the pod that were sweet as candy. And the people are so nice and welcoming. I experienced sauna for the first time and it was amazing, i never got the same feeling in sauna anywhere the following times though. We were invited because we housed their daughter when she was in France for her studies. We lived as sisters together for several months.

My favorite dish that my dad used to make was spinach pie. He put his own twist on his Italian grandmother‘s recipe and it was heavenly; even in my 50s, I would still beg him to make it whenever I visited him. I attempted many times to send a submission for this episode but he had just passed away on March 15 just a few weeks after being blindsided with a brain cancer diagnosis, and I was crying too hard to be able to make sense so I decided not to send the email. If you ever do a spinach part two though, I would love to share in his honor. Have you ever considered doing an ugly delicious episode? Wait, have you already done one? I need to look. So many ugly delicious dishes out there and it might be kind of fun.

Regarding Pinaattiletut: It´s 150 g before ringing out the water, chopped frozen spinach is most commonly sold in 150 g bags in Finnish grocery stores. I don´t even ring out the water and just whisk the ingredients together so you don´t even need to use a blender. But blending and using more spinach works well too!

Okay, the thing with the Spinach pancakes from Finland is that they are more like crepes not a pan cake so you must fry them very thin. Many times they are fried with a cast iron pancake skillet that has 4 small round places to put the batter in. In Finland you can find spinach pancakes from any stores ready made, they don't contain as much spinach as homemade but as a fast snack, they are just fine. I do these pan cakes or should I say crepes with freshly picked nettle too. It is just the right season for them now. So good with lingonberry jam!

The Slovakian sauce seems almost like the cream of spinach soup my family makes, only thicker and we add a few other veggies...1 potato, 1 carrot, 1 onion, 1 clove garlic cover in water boil until soft (don't drain the water). Steam 1 lb spinach in 1 cup water add to veggies and puree ( you can also just add the water and spinach to the other veggies but I often cook the spinach ahead and freeze it so I just add that, you can also puree the two things separately but why do extra work unless your blender is too small) Make a roux with 1/3 cup flour, 1/3 cup butter and mix with 2 cups milk mixing while you cook until thick. Add the purred veggies and spinach. Add 1/2 salt or to taste, 1/2 tsp dried basil, pinch of nutmeg, pinch of thyme, Fresh parsley....if your soup is too thick add more milk.

A trick I learned from ATK for dealing with massive amounts of greens that need to be cooked down - throw them in a big bowl and put in the microwave for a minute or two. They'll reduce without potentially falling out of a pan and you can just dump the whole thing into the dish at once so you don't deal with under/overcooked greens.

the slovakian is also known in Austria/Germany as (Rahm)spinat (same way cooked with an "Einbrenn" and (at least in Austria - eaten the same way with a fried egg and potatoes).

You mention spinach being disliked by American children. While this is true, I would argue that this is due to us Americans not knowing how to cook spinach in an exciting or interesting way. It’s always just the base for a salad or steamed/sautéed as a side dish. Children dislike it because it’s boring…but this video just proves that it doesn’t have to be! Spinach can be a really diverse vegetable and super tasty if cooked right!

My maternal grandmother used to make breaded cod with creamed spinach and boiled potatoes, and I really wanted to try the green sauce, but since I was allergic to cow milk protein (until I was 4 years old) she had to make me some with soy milk. Nobody thought that I would like it, so she only made a small amount. It was, of course, my favorite thing ever and she started making me the same amount that the 4-5 adults would eat and that was the thing I asked to have for dinner every time we visited for the next 20 years.

19:51 garlic and shallots are the cornerstone of nearly every major South East Asian cooking. So versatile, it can be the base of stir-fries, soups, steamed fish and so forth. My favorite way of cooking spinach has to be this one, in the garlic/shallot soup but instead of prawns, I'd substitute pork or chicken. When we say sautéed until fragrant, it means to sauté it until the garlic and the shallot turns a slight golden brown for that extra kick of aroma.

That last dish really made me think about how similar it was to saag paneer; creamed, spiced spinach with potatoes. Yum, either way.

I was just praying that it shouldn't be a Sag Paneer aka Palak paneer for an Indian spinach dish. And thanks to the lady who brought Spinach chat to the world 😍. Thats an absolute delight on a plate and people should try it once 😊 that is so much delicious 🤤. Thanks Beryl

About the spinach pancakes being harder to turn. I'm from Sweden and we also have pancakes without baking soda, and usually I just wait for the "shine" to dissapear almost all over the pancake and then flip it :) I think it could work on these too? :D

Since you asked... I love a red onion, and while I understand shallots are prized for their delicacy and mildness, they are expensive for how much you get. What I always have an eye out for is Walla Walla sweet onions, so named because they were first crossbred in Walla Walla, Washington. I first learned about them on The Frugal Gourmet on PBS back in the early 80's. They make amazing caramelized onions for burgers, steaks, or even French onion soup.

I've been watching your vids since covid and in one video you have said (as far as I can remember) that when you cannot travel you can always try (cook) something new and have the experience at your own place. It is for me to this day very inspiring and I thank you for that. You are such a nice and positive person, congratz! 👍

Loved this spinach episode! When I was a kid (like, 50 years ago, I am now 61) and my parents would take us out to dinner. If spinach was an option as one of the veggie sides I ALWAYS wanted the spinach. It never failed... the waitress would stop writing her ticket, look at my mom with the "is she sure" kind of face, and mom would nod yes... I loved spinach, still do. Thank you for the memories... and the fantastic new options for preparing it. I love the first one you showed. That will be my first attempt. The rest will follow. Hugs... PS

@beardoodle9835 14 күн бұрын

😂 The same thing would happen when I was a kid when we went out! If I got to choose the sides with my meal, I'd always get spinach as a side, and the server would usually ask "Are you sure?", and glance at my parents 🤭. Sometimes I would order double spinach, instead of picking a second side, and then they'd really stare at me! 😂

In Germany we eat spinach in a way very similar to Špenátový Prívarok. In my family it was a typical Friday dish that we also ate fish with next to the potatoes and the egg. It was truly one of my favorite meals as a kid and one more reason to look forward to Fridays after school. Also the spinach sauce was the very first thing I ever ate at around 5-6 months when my grandma fed it to me. Maybe that's why I loved spinach so much as a kid.

My Mom had a home garden when I was growing up. When spinach was in season it was stored in Tupperware in the fridge. It was a quick grab and go snack for me and my sisters. One of my favorite food combinations is spinach and mushrooms.

I love spinach. Can’t wait to try a couple of these for sure. I love your channel. I love learning what people eat in their countries and in their homes. ❤ My mom got me and my siblings to eat spinach because of Popeye😂 she added butter and cider vinegar after cooking it. I still eat it like this occasionally, but I love it raw in a salad too.

I learned to make fatayir from my ex-husband's Syrian family. They never used meat in theirs, so it's a vegan dish. Very delicious. I like to make a big batch, freeze them, and then have them for breakfast. Some people also add a lot of lemon to the filling, and that is good, too.
