Pork parts in Finnish

Post by jackieng » Fri Feb 27, 2009 6:37 pm

Anybody could advise where can I find the name of pork parts in Finnish ? I have problem explaining to the local kauppahalli butcher the part that I need.

Something like the picture below :

Which of those pictures?

Sometimes trying to help on this forum is just too much like hard work :cry:

It looks like it is cut a bit differently in Finland.

Blade shoulder = etuselkä

Loin = kyljysselkä (the front part) and selkäpaisti (the back part)

Belly = kylki (the front part) and kuve (the back part)

Ham ≈ kinkku

Arm/shoulder = etupotka (the lower part) and lapa (the upper part)

Trotters = sorkat

Thanks for the reminder...I've been into that site before, but had kind of forgotten about it....Lots of vocabulary details...though I suppose some of the translations can be argued over...:D

PS...I like your tagline....though I guess what he actually said is also arguable...:D

But I found these two quotes attributed to him...

"The arbitrary rule of a just and enlightened prince is always bad. His virtues are the most dangerous and the surest form of seduction: they lull a people imperceptibly into the habit of loving, respecting, and serving his successor, whoever that successor may be, no matter how wicked or stupid."...I think this is self-explanatory....:D

and...
All things must be examined, debated, investigated without exception and without regard for anyone's feelings."....This would seem to be an apt tagline for the FinlandForum...:D :D
