you should try those foods made by someone's grandma or something, those ready grocery store meals aren't the best experience!

Pinaattilettu. Eaten cold 1/5. Eaten warm 2/5. Eaten fried on a pan 4/5.

You should try homemade vispipuuro sometime! It's a lot less jelly like and more... fluffy in texture. You can also make it sweeter if you're not a big fan of the intense lingonberry flavor.

Your brother is actually very good pronouncing finnish words :o

Dave, Your brother looks like Wolverine.

Leipäjuusto is often eaten as a dessert when warmed up in the oven with cream and cloudberries. Older people often put small cubes of leipäjuusto in coffee. Cloudberries actually only grow in swamps north to arctic circle and that is why they are so bloody expensive!

Simon pronounces finnish very well! Your family seems so lovely, both your mom and brother ☺️

we even make salmiakki in our chemistry classes in Finland :D its white

Im actually amazed that your brother "handled" salmiakki so well! To me this is the very first video ever where somebody doesn't spit it out instantly after tasting it! E. Im from Finland and "Tyrkisk Peber" or "Turkin Pippuri" as we Finns call it is one of my favourite candies in existence.

Where is mämmi?

you didn't let your bro eat the spinach pancake with jam, what the heck yo

I would recommend warming those spinach pancakes in the oven. Makes such a big difference. You can ask any relatively young Finn about spinach pancakes at school being better than those that are sold in the market (because they made in the oven, and at home they are usually just microwaved). :)

I always find it weird when people call candy like turkinpippuri "salty". When in my taste it is very sweet and there is nothing salty about it.

Vispipuuro is semolina boiled with berries or a berry juice. You then whisk it with a whisk until it's all pink and fluffy like a cloud.

Two different tryouts about the leipäjuusto: 1. Put it in the oven for awhile ant then put the jam on it 2. Make small cubes and put those in your coffee for awhile and eat with a spoon #. You will love those ways to eat it :-)

Your ‘Wolverine’ brother is so cool or so polite to us 😂

salmiakki doesn't divide the nation, it divides finland from the rest of the world

The brother's sense of a taste is almost very Finnish. I like him.

I can see your brother laughs a lot! He seems to be an amazing person :D

As a Finn I´m extremely impressed with the way you pronounce the Finnish names :) oh and I´m most definitely PRO Salmiakki ;) xx

I like how some of your and your brothers facial expressions are so much alike! I'm pro salmiakki and vispipuuro is made from mannapuuro (basically wheat porridge). Always happy to see new video from you 😊💕

The spinach pancakes and leipäjuusto should be warm when you eat them! Best way for to warm the pancakes is in a pan with butter, the leipäjuusto should be baked in the oven with some heavy cream :)

I bought some salty black licorice here in USA and it grows on you! I’ve eaten whole jar

Shame you didn't prepare most of them properly :/

9:23 We don't call it "turkisk peber" it's not even Finnish. WE call it "Turkin pippuri".

Leipäjuusto is much better if it's fried/grilled a bit on both sides! Aaaaand now I feel the urge to go to Finland for some food-shopping :)

Liquorice is made of liquorice root. Salmiakki is made of ammonium chloride. They're completely different things.

Color of their skin shows clearly which one lives in Finland :D

The tyrkisk peber (Turkinpippuri) didn't use to have the flame on them those were added a while ago

Heat up the cheese so it melts a little! It's better when it's softer and warm with cool cloudberry jam.

Your brother seems like an awesome person 😊 Is he older or younger than you? What does he do for a living if I may ask?

Wrap the leipäjuusto in bacon and but in the grill on a grilling tray, lowkey the best thing ever

Dave, hope You remember to honor the third Maksalaatikkopäivä on 10.10. !

You MUST taste Mustamakkara from Mustamakkara wagon. When it's fresh and warm. It's so good

Hey Dave, did you warm the treats before tasting them? Especially leipäjuusto is the best when warmed little and with lakkahillo. 🧡

Tapola Mustamakkara was also praised by late Anthony Bourdain!

Did you serve the bread cheese hot or cold? It is uunijuusto so you should serve it through the oven and with little bit of cream on it and then the lakkahillo on top of it when you serve it. (edited owen* to oven)

Leipäjuusto, bread cheese is truly one of my favorites! Best way to ENJOY it is you put it in the oven, maybe 200C for 10 minutes. With some good sausage and there is your best evening meal.

I always knew Vispipuuro as marjapuuro. That just might be because my family is from the Karelia region of Finland. It is so nice with fresh lingon berries and currants. We also often add milk to it and it was a breakfast dish. I love it and miss getting to eat it.

Leipäjuusto in my opinion is better when it's warmed up so it's a bit melty.

Vispipuuro is semolina porridge with lingonberries! Homemade is definitely better. Leipäjuusto is made with cow’s beestings (milk from a cow that’s just calved) and is totally different when eaten warm. I like it both ways, but when you heat it up it’s a bit less squeaky. It’s usually served as pudding or with coffee 😊

Leipäjuusto is actually called "squeeky cheese" in english :D But you should warm it up in the microwave. It goes very well with smoked reindeer meat too.

Leipäjuusto is also called "natinajuusto" which actually means "squeaky cheese" :D

Oh, your family is so nice!

When you make real vispipuuro it is not as jelly as what you buy from store. When my grandma makes vispipuuro it is like porridge but just made from berries

5:29 Your brother is exactly right, it is commonly served as dessert. It is weird that it divides people, though. I guess it is like with mushrooms, about the texture, the squeek. I really like it.

I made my mom to make me some of that Vispipuuro last week, I love it. It is made by making a regular semolina porridge and then by adding the lingonberries. After that you need it wisp it with electronic mixer for a while to get rid of them lumps. Personally I add some sucker but some people dont.. :)

There are HUGE differences between different ways to make vispipuuro. Some are really sour and I cannot eat those. On the other hand, when you make it sweet and non-sour, it's great.

Vispipuuro is a porridge, because you make it by boiling semolina in water and smashed/pureed fruit of your choice (plus sugar if you want). When the semolina/fruit porridge has cooled you whip it up with electric whisker to make it light and airy. A proper vispipuuro is so light it floats on top of milk, the store bought versions are too dense and use gelatin to keep the whipped texture which is a bit weird and gives them the wobble you hate. You should try some other flavours than lingonberry, my personal favourites are raspberry, apple and rhubarb vispipuuro.

Mustamakkara (blood sausage) is main thing in Tampere, Finland!

My grandma always made Klappgröt, the swedish version of Vispipuuro, from semolina porridge and homemade lingonberry jam and served it with milk.

I've seen my gran make leipäjuusto once upon a time. Cow's milk, boiled into cheese curds, pressed into frame and put to roast near a fire. It's a fresh cheese that isn't aged. Mind these are my very vague childhood memories from thirty plus years ago.

Leipäjuusto is called kaffeost in Sweden. A few pieces are placed in a cup, with hot coffee poured on.

your brother is so handsome omg❤️

You should try leipäjuusto with coffee that’s what they do in pohjanmaa!

Vispipuuro, it's basically a semolina pudding with lingonberries. Semolina is the coarse, purified wheat middlings of durum wheat

Leipäjuusto or Finnish squeeky cheese needs to be warmed up to melt it a bit. Squeeks more but tastes even better

_"... and here we have, I actually have no idea what is it. Now eat it."_ 🤘

Warm the leipäjuusto in the microwave, 5/5 so goood

Try warm the leipäjuusto in microwave or on in oven bit before eating. Then add cloud berries or cloud berry jam and on top pour little bit vaniljakastike, the Valio's Wanhan Ajan Vanilja is best one! Then you love it! Also when warmed a bit, leipäjuusto loses it's rubber like appearance. Originally it was eaten right after it was made, so warming it up is good thong to do. Also try to find something made by some smaller company's ones, they are way better usually.

I love leipäjuustoa lakkahillolla! It’s one of my favorite foods

I think mustamakkara is the exact middle point between black pudding and haggis. One's got the blood, the other's got the grains, and mustamakkara brings them together.

Your brother is already hooked on salmiakki but didn't quite realise it yet. He's probably thinking about salmiakki right now, you should send him some.

Someone trying salmiakki for the first time. The face reactions gets me everytime! Thank you! 😂😂

I always eat breadcheese without preparing it and I like it that way.

How to make vispipuuro: Boil water and berries, add sugar. Whisk in semolina and let it boil. When it's cooked you let it cool. When it's cooled you beat it with a mixer until it's fluffy. 😊

Spinach pies try with potato salad and butter, after heating for a minimum of 2 min. in the microwave.

We need part two of this.

11:00 That's basically asking if you want to have only main course or the dessert for the desert island!

6:36 it's a Breakfast and Evening meal

Leipäjuusto is basically made from whole milk and salt with rennet and then shortly baked in owen, thats why it has those little dark dots. Its also called kotijuusto (home cheese) at least in some western parts of Finland. Narinajuusto (squeaky cheese) is common nickname for it.

leipäjuusto is just oven-cheese (made in from gestation milk after cow has breed. and it can only be harvested about week after each breed). You either like it or you don't. it's very traditional banquet/feast treat. not exactly a sweet, but cause of the jam it's quite tasty treat.

Microwave the leipäjuusto until it half melts! That's the greatest and creamiest cheese you'll ever eat!

Since u commented on the squeakiness (?) of the cheese i had to come and say that us finns who love it really enjoy that. As kids me and my sis started calling it ”narskujuusto” which is quite close to squeaky cheese in meaning. Also cloudberry’s kinda look like orange raspberries, and they mostly grow in northern parts of finland. Not a bad idea sometimes tasting them fresh as well, i find it to be quite interesting in taste

Try kalakukko and mykyrokka Though the second one will be near impossible to find over there in the south, so dont try it

Salt salmiakki and Vispipuuro is my favorite👌

you should put pieces of leipäjuusto in coffee and eat them after a while of soaking the coffee. so damn good 😍

I actually just moved FROM Finland TO Scotland, and this video made me miss all the amazing food!! 😭 Made my almost cry.

You seem to have such a nice family😊

Awesome video!

Taste test tuesdays are best! Dont stop doing videos Dave, i like you'r videos and it's nice to watch you'r videos! I dont watch many channels that speaks english (only about 10 channel) but you are one of these because you do interesting videos and SUOMI PERKELE And sorry for my rally english

You can also add a bit of sugar with the milk to vispipuuro is you prefer it sweeter. It's really good like that.

Simon's "okei" sounds exactly like a finn would say it😂

You should try that Leipäjuusto in different way. My mom is making it like this: she cuts that large piece into smaller pieces, then puts those pieces on a plate, pours some milk to the plate and then puts it in to microwave for about 30sec-1min. It's not as 'dry' and squeaky and it melts just a littlebit 👍

Pro tip: you should also try different cooking times for Tapola Mustamakkara. I prefer the taste when you use the temperature in the official guide (in the package) but increase the cooking time maybe 20-40%.

You should put leipäjuusto in your coffee in little pieces!! Then drink your coffee as you normally would, then eat the warm and soft bits of leipäjuusto 😍

Viispipuuro was my grandfather’s favorite. Made it for him with cranberry juice. Have to put cream on it.

Ahhhh the squeaky cheese made me shiver. Just thinking about the texture and the sound it makes...hhrrrr🤣😫

Your brother feels like really nice person!

Great reactions😂👍

When I was a child (in the seventies, eighties) "vispipuuro" was sold with the name "puolukkapuuro" (it was also shortened sometimes "puolapuuro"). It was relatively new thing on the shelves of a grocery, for instance my grandmother made it herself, and called it "vispipuuro", which was later readapted as a name. Vispipuuro is usually made of semolina (I think earlier they used other grains, too) and lingonberries and cooked in milk. Because it is cooked in milk, it requires whisking all the time, otherwise it will boil over and will burn to a frazzle. Thus "vispipuuro"; "whisked porridge". The handmade vispipuuro made by my grandmother was btw much more red, since there were more lingonberries, and less sweet. (It was also less jelly-like, I think they have added something to it in the factory to change the structure.) But it was such a big trouble to make it at home, whisking it all the time, that people begun to buy it from grocery. Even my grandmother did, when she became older.

Simon seems like a really cool dude!

Your bro is a trooper, salmiakki reactions watcher approves

Tyrkisk peber is my all-time favorite they sell it here in Norway too

Homemade vispipuuro is the best. Episode for Cat's kitchen.

if you want recipes, how at least as a Finn I normally eat, for example, bread cheese, I put it in the microwave and let it melt and then I usually eat whipped porridge with milk and I add milk to it, and I eat spinach pancakes roasted in butter and I eat black sausage with potatoes

Fresh homemade vispipuuro (when it's still warm) with some sugar on top is so fucking good.

I love salmiakki, and FINALLY we can have it in Norway too! But I had to live for over 30 years without it.

Watching these as a Finn makes me want to eat all of these goodies.

Tampere is the capital of Mustamakkara
