Thursday is pea soup day
Hernekeitto with pancakes and jam on Thursdays is an old tradition still followed in many lunch spots and the army.
02
Karelian pies
Karjalanpiirakka: thin rye crust filled with rice porridge, topped with egg butter. Best warm from a market hall.
03
Salmiakki is a test
Salty liquorice. Finns will offer it to you and watch your face. Fazer's Tyrkisk Peber is the advanced level.
04
Lappish flavours
Sautéed reindeer (poronkäristys) with mashed potato and lingonberries, leipäjuusto 'squeaky cheese' with cloudberry jam, and coffee boiled over a fire.
