If it’s what I think it is, it’s romsås - crème fraiche, mayo, dill, red onions and roe!

And yeah it’s solid with potatoes and lax

God yes. My Finnish mother in law makes an amazing mix just like this except without the roe. Throw it on some new potatoes and it’s the most delicious thing in the world. Potatoes and cream is why I am a fat.

The secret to a good restaurant is adding pine needles and cones to every dish, but charging more to not put them in

Spruce can be quite a nice flavour, sometimes on hikes in the forest we pick the young needles off the trees and chew them. I wouldn’t put it in pasta though.

These are all collected from kotikokki.net, crowdsourced recipe site.


Amateur photos of Finnish food is straight up cheating.

It never looks good but in most cases is delicious.

Except for sandwich cake. Which is just trickery. Cake should not be savoury.

Fairy bread should be made with the whitest, most nutritionally devoid bread available. The kind which is 60% air. Butter. Hundreds and thousands. Accompanied by home brand lemonade, chocolate crackles, lolly snakes and coloured popcorn.

You’re 5 years old, it’s your cousin's birthday party, and someone's about to get too excited and vomit all over the lounge room.

That was a weird time for condiments in general.


The only use I ever found for green tomato sauce was to create blood effects for a high school stop-motion army men film project. We had green sauce, red sauce and mustard for the three armies. It was disgusting.

“We’re all men today, so we’ll add a lot more pepper. It’ll be a two-Pepsi stew.”


American food suddenly makes a lot more sense if you read ‘pepper’ as some weird-arse slang for ‘Pepsi’.

Today I have learned that it is in fact not a regular hamburger in a semla, it's just a semla with a round brownie between the buns.

With all the stuff they've done with semlor here in recent years and all the horrors I've seen in this thread, I was 100% ready to believe they had, in fact, put a regular meat hamburger patty in a semla, and I had also actively chosen not to research it. Not that I would ever try it regardless, but anyway.



As someone who has been enjoying a metric fucktonne of laskiaispulla lately, I would not eat one with brownie in it. That’s just a step too far.

Our local cafe makes one with lemon curd and licorice cream, however, which sounds delicious. :finland:

Cinnamon as an addition to an otherwise properly-spiced chili con carne sounds okay, it would add some interesting notes.

I once accidentally added too much cinnamon to a butter chicken. The recipe had maybe half a teaspoon of cinnamon in the spice mix, but I mistranslated and put a tablespoon.

It was the most christmassy curry I’ve ever eaten.

This reminds me of when I was a kid and found a dead turtle that got trapped in a kiddie pool and when we lifted the lid all the maggots came out

I read this like 5 times before realising that by 'lid' you’re (probably) referring to the pool covering, not the dead turtle's shell.

ROPS only does grilled sausages and coffee. I’d be there every week if muikku and mash was on offer. Those little fishies are the best thing about summer in Finland.

OK I could gently caress with that hard, even though I’m super mixed on Kalles (the vegan one tastes better, no I will not be taking questions). Nonetheless, that sounds delightful

And the egg butter? I didn’t know you could do that. I feel like some countries there’s a law against something so divine. so so so good.

In this country you can go to a supermarket and buy a thing of egg butter and take it home and eat it and the cops can’t stop you. It’s beautiful. :finland:

Tuna is one of the most common pizza toppings in :finland:. Tuna, ham, sometimes pepperoni or salami. I like mine with pineapple as well. :)

You can definitely buy ground bay leaf but I cannot attest to its taste.

Yeah, my wife made a beetroot and mince dish yesterday which included a bay leaf, crushed and mixed in with everything else.

I get the feeling that Finnish recipes inhabit a different reality than the rest of the world.

Quark is called rahka here. It tastes closer to natural unsweetened yogurt than it does to cheese. It goes very nice with berries.

I learned that the taste of quark differs between countries when I tried to eat berries with quark in Australia and almost immediately vomited. loving disgusting.

Where are the toppings? Are they under the cheese? I don't understand.

The joke is that there’s no pineapple, blue cheese or tuna on that pizza.
