    So Sam was eating muikku (vendace, Coregonus albula) fish outdoors.
    Then at the Old Marketplace lihis or lihapiirakka (meat pie) which needs heating! and a couple of hot dog sausages inside with mustard, ketchup, and cucumber relish.
    Then karjalanpiirakka or Karelian pasty made of rice porridge and rye pastry.
    Then reindeer sandwich.
    Esplanadi or esplanade street is divided in southern and northern sides with the Esplanadi Park in the middle. Finns just call it Espa.

    I'm a Finn living in southern Sweden and just visited Helsinki a couple of days ago. Did you know that that very market place fills out with vintage American cars on the first Friday of each month during the summer after the market closes? Great footage, you guys captured a lot of cool buildings in a short time! There are about 600 Art Noveau and Jugend style buildings in Helsinki city center...never get tired of them!

    The reindeer sandwich didn't have bread, it was actually the same meat pie (lihapiirakka, lihis) that was just filled with all the stuff. That is why it had rice and minced meat inside too.

    Sam you have got to go to Germany! Germany in the summer and while the Christmas markets are open. The street food is amazing. I remember Oktoberfest like it was yesterday... Years ago btw LOL! But even just the roasted chicken was so good it was silly. I ate half a chicken with chips (like steak fries) in minutes without even thinking about it. There's a restaurant in downtown München (Munich) close to Hofbräuhaus that is absolutely amazing. I had the best steak with mushroom and pepper gravy there. Not to mention the breakfast served at the hotel which makes US hotels look silly. The Christmas markets are another thing entirely. I pray that I get to go back eventually just got these. Yum yum yum

    It is allowed to film in public place. You do not need to ask permission. That is just a bad customer service.....

      ​@@npineapple3077Public place = space that is generally open and accessible to people. So you say to me that market hall is not a public place? Try to read some legislation.

      It is not about having the right to film or not, it is about being polite and respectful.

      You CAN film there, but since it is a private business, they can ask the photographer to leave.
