"I don't want to make 40 donuts". Of course you do. One can never have enough.

dave acted like a child with a new toy when he tasted his test piece with sugar

Nice extra use for the potato smasher. One of those "why didn't I think of that" things

Dave, you just made the recipe spread like wildfire

Always red milk if you're cooking with it.

Next time make a lörtsy. Your kuuma koira look delicious! Never tried original kuuma koira myself even as native Finn.

In Lahti you can order a "lihamuki" / "mug of meat" that is a local grill speciality. You should try that out. Best consumed after the bars close.

Never heard of kuuma koira until today and I've lived in Finland all my life, nowhere near pirkanmaa of course

"10 views from the folks in the Pirkanmaa region" You might underestimate "Pirkanmaa region" a tiny tiny bit, considering over 500 000 people live here, the second most populated region after Uusimaa.

Oo you could make a series of cooking and baking traditional food that originate from certain parts in Finland! 😊 Kampanisu, lörtsy, kalakukko, karjalanpiirakka, rosvopaisti, lemin särä etc

If you ever do come to Nokia, I suggest getting the kuuma koira from Torin Grilli-Kebab Birol in pirkkalaistori

Lihapiirakka is basically a doughnut with a rise and minced meat filling, just whitout any sugar coating.

Im originally from Nokia, kuuma koira is probably the best thing in that little town 😂 There is some snack bars in Tampere also, where u can get the real kuuma koira 👍

"Valmis taikina irtoaa kulhon reunoista" = Ready dough will detach from the surface of the bowl

I am Finnish speaking person and i didn’t know that food :D

I laughed when I saw my channel on the screenshot. :D

Me seeing the thumbnail: "That's a hot dog." Me after watching the video: "I stand corrected." P.S. I have a feeling that I've eaten a Kuuma Koira at one point in my life. I can't remember if it was something home made, store bought, or from a kiosk, but I just can't shake the feeling. It could also be that I'm just so familiar with the ingredients that I can "taste" it in my mind =P

I live in Nokia, haven't heard of this food. I've gone past the place the guy on the video got it from several times, never tried one. In Hämeenlinna (region?) they have this, but the "doughnut" isn't sweet, it's made completely without sugar. From shops you can buy meat pies that have rice and minced meat inside them that are also like doughnut on the outside, some of them sweet, some not, all shapes and sizes.

U really want to have one of these . Obtain couple of sausages, that "mystery cooking" aka lihapiirakka, some ketchup and mustard, pickles, maybe something else like onions... Cut that lihapiirakka in the middle, horizontal way, add those sausages (fully steamed , of course !) and sort of other stuff. Go to Nokia, stay at Scandic Hotel Eden for spa stuff, check for example Nokian Autogrilli for kuuma koira, they have also other version, which is hot and spicy Kuuma koira. Just a local advice.

Damn! I was just on a holiday on my hometown Nokia (I'm living abroad currently) and I forgot to have my kuuma koira! A good reason to plan a new holiday ;)

I love kuuma koira! 😂 I live Pirkkala, near to Nokia where that was made first time, so here its very common snack 😁🙈

I'm sorry but that thumbnail really made me wonder if I'm watching the right channel lol. But your video ended my boredom so thanks!

New series: Daves food adventure & unraveling the cave of rare foods.

As a native Nokian I can tell you that you missed the mark on the sausage! It's even better with the original, Tampereen Lihajaloste's höyrymakkara. Tiny change, but makes the doughnut and relish work better with the sausage.

Actually mostly we call hod dogs with hodari. It's shortened loaning from english. :D

There's a specialty in Hämeenlinna region called "Hotsi". It's like the lihapiirakka without the filling .The sausage is a steamed 1/4 of a HK sininen makkara and it's called a "Suomi". You order it with the number of "Suomi" you like. "Hotsi kahdella Suomella" for example.

I love Dave giggling after he takes the first bite :D That looks really tasty!!

Yeah, no one outside of Nokia and I bet 90% of people from Nokia has never heard of this.

I wonder whether the famous "meat mug" from the city of Lahti is lined up for a future video

You’re right about the kurkkusalaatti and donut combination. There was a kiosk in my hometown run by an old woman, who sold only donut with kurkkusalaatti, mustard and ketchup 50cent a piece. With 1 euro extra you couldnget sausage in it. Oh boy, those were the days...

There's lots of little grills/food stalls in Tampere where you can get a proper kuuma koira and loads of other traditional fast foods. Also mustamakkara.

This was the most interesting video by far, I just texted my mother and asked her if we could try this out. 👍

i have literally never heard of this and i have lived in Pirkanmaa for 18 years now. Definitely going to try it next week!

Greetings from Tampere. Thx for the fun video! I got hungry while watching it. :) I'm not a kuuma koira specialist but I think that you made couple of things differently (vs. if you were to buy a kuuma koira from some grill). 1) Those big munkkis have apple or strawberry jam filling that is put in before the munkki is fryed. (It could be possible that some grills are ordering munkkis without jam for their koiras but I'm not sure about that. Normally you will not find unfilled big munkkis from bakerys. 2) The sausages should be some quality sausages, not "HKn sininen" and smaller in size. 3) I believe (but I'm not totally sure) that you you are supposed to warm up that munkki before filling it with sausage and other stuff. 4) Onions are traditionally served raw. (I think that your onions could taste better anyway)

Nokialainen Kuuma Koira on kyllä yllättävän hyvää. Kokeilepa joskus siellä Daven Koekeittiössä tehdä turkkilainen lihapiirakka, Peremec, eli suomalaisittain Perämetsä (Back Woods). Se on paras lihapiirakka mitä tiedän. Netissä on paljon ohjeita, mutta useimmat niistä hieman "pliisuja" (laimeita) mausteiltaan. Peremecin kuuluu olla hieman tulinen, joten jos päätät tehdä niitä muista lisätä jauhelihaan hieman chiliä tai cayanne-pippuria. Ja sama lontooksi: _Please, try sometimes do Peremec's, Turkish meat pies. It's the best meat pie I know. There is a lot of recipes online, but most of them are just too lame what comes to spices. Peremec has to be a little spicy, a little hot, so remember to add some chili or cayenne pepper into the beef. Or you can also add your favorite hot sauce on top of it when you're eating it. I know you will love those badboys!_

I heard about the "kuuma koira" in some kid's show in 90' (eräs Ville Vallaton jakso itseasiassa). It was normal hot dog, but they called it kuuma koira. So I wonder if they just called hot dog that back then.

I had never even heard of this one, thank you Dave for teaching me about Finnish food culture :) I think I'd still prefer the more traditional Lihis-nakilla (meatpie with a sausage). It is basically exactly the same, but just change the doughnut into a lihapiirakka (meatpie)

I'm originally from Nokia and I LOVE kuuma koira! :)

Ha! I heard of that before - and I'm not from Pirkanmaa. Just had that in my Duolingo 2 weeks ago ... :-)

Your finnish starts to be totally perfect. I'm impressed. End never use blue milk. Red or straight from the cow, which I can have when on summer cottage is to way to go. :)

That's my mate Topi in the video eating Kuuma koira. Really cool guy and an amazing musician, goes by the name Toivo Susi.

Dave, for the future: If you want to do more doughnuts or other goods that needs to be boiled with cooking oil, I *highly* suggest to go buy a roasting meter (paistomittari)! Because the trick with boiling cooking oil is that you know exactly the temperature of the oil, if it’s too low, it’s gonna take more time and your dough might still be raw. But if it’s too high (over 200 degrees of celsius) there’s a risk that the oil will burst into flames and might start ”rasvapalo” a fire.

Kuuma koira is one of the best snacks to have after a night out. I think the official sausage of kuuma koira is steamed lenkki-sausage from Tampereen Lihajaloste. If you want pure kuuma koira -experience, you should try to get some ”Lihajalosteen Lenkki”!

Yeap, asked my husband about this and he has absolutely no idea what it is. He's from Kuopio. 😂

I think you are supposed to use a "nakki" or at least a slim sausage on that one

Finnish people really tend to love the combination of sweet and salty. Thats why we like salmiakki and kuuma koira!

One mistake: the onion should be raw, not fried :) Great video! Kuuma koira is delicious!

Good video, even I didn't know what was Kuuma koira as a Finnish guy. I first thought it's only a hot dog, but I had no idea it looks so delicious.

I'm thinking about moving to Kuopio in a year so I'll definitely give this a try!

This reminds me of Friends-episode where Rachel makes that sweet and salt dessert. Edit: omfg you really mentioned that after I write my comment, not kidding. Great minds think alike.

How it can be possible that I'm Finnish and I've never heard anything like that? Cool... Wanna try some day...

You have to put those stuffings in lihapiirakka!!

This is possibly the third time I watch this video over the years and I had a thought; how about going to Nokia on Kuuma Koira Day the next March and give the OG Kuuma Koira a try? Or even try out different kuuma koiras in Nokia and see if there's some variation. And if you're up for it, maybe combine the kuuma koira excursion to a visit to Nokian Panimo.

Most peoples don't know atomi and very either as only place to get those are from Lappeenranta tori at summer

You should try "Inferno Pizza" from Lidl, if you can ever get hands on it! (It's seasonal product these days, so hard to find unless you know someone who hoarded them while they were on sale :D)

Past 10 views already. Pirkanmaa has woken up?

Now I'm intrigued to try kuuma koira myself. Haven't tried before because it seems so bizarre

Nom, nom.. When I was young we ate that and grilli makara in paper at a market in Pello. So, even up there it was... 😁

Your home made munkki looked so good - but with the sausage and the other stuff.. OMG, I could not put that in my mouth..

Yep, never heard this one. I just know that hot dog is in Finnish kuuma koira though most don't translate it.

This is such a cozy video. I feel like I am a small kid watching an episode of his favorite childhood series again. Prime stuff! I fully endorse. :-D

Never heard of this and want to try it.

try making Kalakukko and Lanttukukko next ;)

In old times, at least before WWII, most Finns didn't speak any English, and everything was translated into Finnish. I recall reading some old translated cartoon or such, where they had a hot dog booth and a text "kuumia koiria" over it. It is possible, that "kuuma koira" has developed since that into a different direction from hot dog, but I've never even heard about sausages, ketchup and mustard between sokerimunkki.

That was pretty accurate but doughnut and sausage are actually both steamed (if that's even correct word) so they're more soft and the meal has no crunch.

Good work Dave! The brain jar is a steamer and the sausage should be "Lihajalosteen lenkki". It doesn't work that well with other sausages.

Have you been made aware of Taistelukenttä 2020? Definitely worth a gander.

Where do I know that title song thingy from?

Greetings from Nokia. Good stuff! Unfortunately the place where it originated is closed now, but there are some great ones here still :)

Oh my god I've never heard of this and I'm finnish, right when video started I was thinking "wait what is that munkki and..." :D

That first sausage so overkill xD

What you need to realise is that in the original kuuma koira the munkkis are also warmed up in the steam cooker as well as the sausages. Sadly the old Teuto Grilli, which was the original place, and my old work place Ilkan Grilli, that made them the right way, have now closed down. The newer places warm the munkki up in the microwave. Sacrilegious...

I've heard of that before but I always thought people were talking about hotdogs and being weird

Got a food suggestion, "kaljavelli", traditional western finnish christmas food

They sell it at Tammelantori market square in Tampere so it would have been faster to just take a train there and back. That's not the point though. Self made stuff often tastes more delicious as you've had so much effort for it. :-D

Always love your little Friends references!

12:10 😂That tool is made to make potato mush by hand.😂

Ensi kertaa tuli eteen Kuuma Koira, ainakin etelässä asuvalle 😂 en ole, enkä myöskään ole kenenkään muun mainitsevan kyseistä sanaa "Saisinko yhden kuuman koiran kiitos!"

I've heard of that one

Never tried to make kuuma koira myself.. but I live in Nokia so I can just go get some whenever I want.

Try also lihalörtsy from Savonlinna if you haven't tried it yet.:-) You can find it from normal food stores also such as Prisma, S market and even Lidl sometimes. It's the famous "meat pie" from Savonlinna.:-)

I am definitely gonna try this. I have family mökki in Pirkanmaa, near Nokia and I haven't heard of this. The locals really keep it in their culture. Also the side of Suomitube that I haven't seen. One of the videos were "Hampaaton läski syö: osa 107 - Kuuma koira" (= a toothless fat eats: part 107 - Kuuma koira). They have 13.9K subscribers, whaaaat? :D

This is forbidden knowledge.

Fun stuff! En tosiaankaan ole koskaan maistanut kuumaa koiraa :D

I live in Pirkanmaa and always thought kuuma koira is just Finnish for hot dog. Interesting.

I'm finnish and I've never heard of that

Saatana se toimii= Damn it works.

I'm getting hungry while watching this. But damn that looks delicious!!

I'm from Nokia, the original Kuuma Koira doesn't have jam in it. Steamed sausage, not fried. Pickle relish, mustard and ketchup add raw onion or roasted onion hack. Basically if you have jamles donut and the steamed sausage it's kuuma koira other fillings are optional. So you are/were making one.

I think for the donut, your oil was too hot. The outside was nice and brown but the inside was still raw. Next time, lower your oil temperature and cook it for longer :) I'm actually super interested to make it! It looks quite nice actually!

The first big sausage looked like one that does not Have edible peel. Hopfully you know this that from most Owen sausges you Have to remove peel before consuming it

am i the only one bothered by Dave frying his onions :D

btw it should be raw diced onion you put in the kuuma koira. I suggest that you visit vaakon nakki in tampere in try the real one out

Vau! Näyttää hyvältä! Pääsisköhän sitä käymään Nokialla... Asun Pirkanmaalla, mutta en ole syönyt kuumaa koiraa. Mutta nyt haluan kyllä!!! Meillä munkit on just ton muotoisia, ja isoja, mutta mekään ei olla kotona syöty tai tehty kuumia koiria.

I'd love to see a mustard taste test. :) (Auran sinappi, Turun sinappi, Kotisinappi and estonian style Sinep should be included atleast :P and maybe Wasabisinappi by ålands smak.)

Never heard of kuuma koira. Then again, I think I've never been to Nokia 😀

Mabye do it with höyrymakkara? Or even stranger and more extreme variant: rasvapaistettu makkara. Try it. You just have to.

I bet that if you buy one of those donuts and go to a grill, they will make it for you with that donut. It would even cost them less to do it.

Kurkkusalaatti and raw onion are always the best part of anything at grillikioski 😎

Did you do the intro animation yourself?
