Rice pie – These are a salty delicacy.

Made with a thin rye base and a rice filling accompanied by egg
butter. You can be these in every market and they are very cheap (especially for Finland prices) is 29 (or
at some places 79) cents for one.
Cinnamon roll – korvapuusti can be translated as slapped ears. I have no idea where this slightly violent
name comes from; I tried to do some research on it but without success. However, the name has been
around since the late 1800's. I must say that in Sweden cinnamon rolls are also a traditional snack,
although there is one difference. The dough and filling are the same in both Finland and Sweden, but the
shape is unique to Finland. I don’t know how Swedish people eat these, but Finnish people are having a
cup pf coffee with these cinnamon rolls.
Coffee – Talking more about coffee… We all know how coffee is made so I won’t talk about it. Finnish
people drink coffee at any time at anyplace – in the morning, at lunch time, dinner and even as a snack. I
am not exaggerating – they really do drink coffee a lot.
Reindeer soup – The most common time of the year for Finnish people to eat reindeer soup is around
Christmas time. On internet you can read how Finnish people put in the soup potatoes or other vegetable,
but that is not actually 100% true. Yes, you can put them in, but mostly they eat them plane. And if you
are wondering how they make reindeer soup, is pretty easy, just like any other soup and add reindeer meat
- they just in the water sour cream and Philadelphia cheese, to make it thicker.
Jelly – So you all know what this is. And Finnish people eat this almost everyday like a dessert. And they
don’t add anything - even berries like in the photo. They make it in various flavours – strawberry,
redcurrant, apple + cinnamon. It’s very delicious in my opinion.
Blueberry soup – So this is exactly the same as jelly like in the other slide, but they name it blueberry
soup and you can by this in every supermarket. And again, they have it in various different flavours. And
they just drink it like juice.
Potato casserole – This recipe is very simple and delicious. You just need to cut up a lot of potatoes
thinly and place them in a baking pan, then pour over sweet cream and on the top cheese. And of course,
salt and pepper for taste. This dish is not something very special, they just eat it a lot.
Mämmi – This is a traditional Finnish dessert, eaten around Easter. This may look very delicious because
it looks like chocolate but let me tell you - Mämmi is traditionally made of water, rye flour, powdered
malted rye, seasoned salt. And Finnish people eat this with vanilla cream. So if it still hard to imagine
what this taste like then – maizes zupa.
The flavour of mämmi isn't great, but it isn't terrible either: it tastes like dark bread, something they do
like in Finland.
