Finnish Food and Drink

Finnish food does not try to impress you. It tries to keep you alive through a long winter, and on that measure it has an unbeaten record. Rye bread you could stop a door with, coffee by the litre, a sausage for every occasion and a salty liquorice that doubles as a personality test.

This is the part of the blog about how Finland eats and drinks. The everyday meals, the coffee breaks written into law, the seasonal specialities and the foods Finns smuggle through airports because nowhere else makes them properly. Bring an appetite and an open mind. You will need both.
