Im aware the food in Finland is..... well...... lacking.

But im not going there for the food, but for the country.... I was only posting those as a joke in reference to cooking kangaroo :P

You guys eat nothing but sausage and mash right? .... Mmmmmm..... Sausage.

Yes, Finland isn't really known for its cuisine, nothing wrong with that, the country has lots of other things to offer! :D

And yup, sausage does feature more often than it should. Campfire grilled with mustard, then split and baked in oven with cheese filling, then diced up in soup, the list goes on, but its very popular, all the same.

Regarding potatoes, I think their popularity is fading. Until fairly recently (20 years ago perhaps), they seemed to feature in every (damn!) meal, but nowadays there is a little more variety on offer.

But whatever is on offer, it will surely be a refreshing change for you, because all you guys eat over there is prawns cooked on the barbie, no? :wink: :D

Yes, its pretty mush all we eat... Although im alergic to prawns, so i go hungry :(

My favorite food happens to be that warm and filling "comfort food" like stews and sausage. Plus, i hear you have some unique berries in finland that im eagerto taste..... I also need to eat reindeer before i die.

They're ok, slurp. You can eat them fresh, as a jam (nice on uunijuusto), or even drink as a liquor :) Nearly as versatile as Finnish sausage :lol:

Lesson number 2 to learn Cyan, one may not state any fact or truth that could possibly be interpreted as a criticism of Finland or anything Finnish :D

*salutes*

Right you are.

Luckily, Finland is the greatest country in the world, with no doubt the best food and ingredients known to man, and whos people's taste in food are second to none.

Noup, you are overdoing it, not much but enough. You should for example compare finnish and swedish food and come to conclusion that finnish food is better in every way (also all swedes are fags and their ice hockey team sux and next round is on me!).

And once you come to the conclusion, you must not actually say the "conclusion" out loud, for that would hint that you actually considered the possibility that the Finnish food was second best :P

actually the finnish cuisine, except for some traditional peculiarities is more or less the same as swedish cuisine - the first cookbooks from the 1800's were translated and modified from their french counterparts and thus came the staple of any household. the russian cuisine also had its effect as back in the day helsinki was an option to go on holiday as russians werent allowed to go bollicking around europe - they brought over the culinary delights fashionable in court. so the high end of cooking is actually been borrowed all from elsewhere. traditional fares then again survived in the rural areas, but most of these require the use of a wooden baking stove not many modern households have so the home cooking has changed quite much.
