/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Finnfag posting here.

What does /ck/ think about Finnish foods? I personally like meat pies, Karelian stew and Karelian pastries the most out of all the original Finnish foods that exist.

I've only eaten one thing from Finland. Her name was Aliina.

My Finnogolian roommate always gobbled down canned fish which smelled like it was from 1850.
Also he couldn't cook for shit so I have no I idea about Finnish cuisine.
What would be a dish thats accessible for central europeans?
I live in Germany so it would be hard for me to get exotic rotten fish ingredients.

When I think of finland I think of people dressed in drab clothing inside a small log cabin all huddled around the fire eating lutefish and potatoes while not saying a word to each other.

Lihapiirakka with 2 nakkia inside it is bomb and the pinnacle of hot dogs

I went to the Fazer HQ in Helsinki today and the food was great, Finland easily has the best food from all the nordic countries

[Anonymous No.8765275]

What the fuck is up with Nordic countries and fermented fish? I've had the displeasure of being within 6 feet of someone who tried Lutefisk and it was honestly one of the single worst experiences of my entire life. Smelled like death, looked fucking repulsive; who in their fucking right mind would willingly consume something like that? Same shit with surstromming or whoever you spell it.

Does Spurdoland have their own vile variation of this garbage? Please tell me no.

Lutefisk is cool, what you really want to avoid is Surströmming. That shit's fucking vile, and that's from a Swede.

I don't think about finish foods at all.
Saying that, I was in finland once, and had this super fucking nice beetroot salad thing. It was like yogurt or mayo mixed in with thin strips of beetroot. No idea what its called, but it was super nice.

Seriously? Fish was one of the few readily available foods in that area. Fermenting is a common means of preserving food, especially from the days before refrigerators were invented. It makes perfect sense that people from Nordic countries fermented fish to preserve it. They also smoked it, dried it, salted it....

Just salt it? Why do you need to ferment it in order to preserve it? Why would you deliberately make something intensely off-putting when you can just....not, and get the same result of being able to eat it in the future?

>Why do you need to ferment it in order to preserve it?

It's one of many methods that got used. Fermentation has the benefit of being cheaper than salting, not needing multiple soakings in clean water to get a usable meal out of your preserved fish, and changing the taste as well.

>>make something intensely off-putting
It may be off-putting to you, but that doesn't mean it's off-putting to everyone. Many cultures worldwide use fermented fish products to this very day as a condiment. Ever had Worcestershire sauce? Yeah, that's made from fermented fish.

Fermentation produces savory tasting compounds (like naturally occuring MSG). It tastes good, though you're correct that the smell can sometimes be off-putting. It's no different than Asian fish sauce though: smells awful, but tastes nothing like it smells.

Fermentation is controlled rotting. It's a preservation technique in comparison to uncontrolled rotting.

>I've had the displeasure of being within 6 feet of someone who tried Lutefisk and it was honestly one of the single worst experiences of my entire life.

Lutefisk isn't fermented, it's dried but the fat goes rancid and has to be removed with lye.

I remember once being in a class where the professor brought in some dried fish from Iceland. It looked like fish jerky. I took a small taste and for the next day my body oozed fish odor.

Meatpie in Pic. can cast a bit of light to your question about the differences, but I do not really know are the "finnish" meat pies actually from finland or did they originate from somewhere else like our eastern neighbor. All I really know that there are majorly round ones (pic. Related) and these large half-circle shaped ones they serve at these proper grills which are real good. My favourite one of those is with cheese, a hotdog or sausage, pickles and ketchup, but you can pretty much stuff those things with anything else that suits your preference and it will be tasty.

It's called "kalakukko" and is basically fish and possibly carrot covered up in rye bread dough and baked in a oven. (I beleive so atleast) Most likely an Finnish invention, the product naming in english was not just thought out well...

I made karjalanpiirakka on the previous spring, and is was surprisingly good, not as bland as it looks. Saved other Karelian recipes too, but haven't tried them yet.
