Have a glance at Finnish cuisine!

PULLA

Can be a good reason to have a cup of coffee in any cafe! It tastes like heaven! It is sort of sweet bread roll with cinnamon and sugar. Different kinds are baked with crashed cardamom seeds which is constantly used for Finnish sweat breads and rarely with raisins.

PORRIDGE

Your smooth breakfast is ready with delicious berries and cinnamon. Porridge has a bunch of grains to fill up your tummy. If you like, you can have rice porridge especially in Christmas time, rolled oats porridge, rye porridge, milk based porridge. Even one minute porridge for ones who either can not cook properly(like me) or do not have time! I am gonna miss this, for sure.

REINDEER MEET WITH LINGONBERRY SAUCE

Ihana ihana ihana! Wonderful! Hard to express how it tastes. Anyway, it is gamier than beef and sort of pungent taste, but still so delicious! Since Finland is so rich with any kinds of berries, they add them even to main courses. Even though it sounds a bit weird, it goes well together. And of course, don't forget to make smashed potatoes which are the most common food in Finland.

KARJALANPIIRAKKA

It is basically one of my favourites. Karjala is a town which is very close to Russian board and used to be ruled by Russia.There is also a beer called Karjala. The fillings can be potato, rice, millet and buckwheat. It is preferably eaten with eggbutter. You can easily  find them any market in Finland.

SALMIAKKI!

Salmiakki or salty liquorice is one of Finnish taste you shall give it a try before you leave, at least once.(You may not willing to have another one though,most probably) Your brain gets mixed up with salty and sweet flavour in it. You can even recognise the strong smell of salmiakki from a few metres away.It is not that bad if you keep trying.(Maybe because of tongue-numbing:) ) They have quiet many products with salmiakki flavour such as ice cream, vodka and chocolade.

SMOKED SALMON

Honestly, I haven't tried it yet coz I do not like fish at all,but I have heard about it a lot. Finnish couisine is quiet rich with seafoods, thanks for thousands of lakes, for instance salmon soup, cold smoked salmon, Baltic herring with boiled potatoes and so on.
