Finnish Food

When journeying to any country one of the biggest joys is often trying local cuisine. Finland has a wide ranges of delicious things to try. A more complete list can be found at http://www.visitfinland.com/article/iconic-finnish-foods-of-all-time/ but here are some recommendations:
  • Korvapuusti - A cinnamon bun with a twist. These rolls pair cinnamon with cardamom for a delicious sweet treat
  • Karjalanpiirakka - These simple looking snacks consist of rice encased in a skin of rye bread. Great when combined with butter, cheese or another kind of spread
  • Salmiakki - Some people love it and some not so much. Salmiakki is a salty liquorice that most find to be an acquired taste. It is a staple of the Finnish lifestyle however and therefore a must try!
