Finns and food....

Some smoked fish options

Ever been to a Finnish restaurant? Ever even seen a Finnish restaurant? No? That is because there aren't any. There is of course good Finnish food but the best description is 'hearty' and given that they have seven months of winter, hearty is precisely what you want.

If there is a highlight, then it has to be fish - smoked and pickled fish in particular, both of which I really like. Of course they don't just smoke or pickled the fish, but add a wide variety of spices and herbs and then serve them every way possible.

My favourite is a herring dish baked into bread and served with hot butter... yum
