When my Finnish friend Elina visited my small Kentucky hometown, her accent prompted a lot of curiosity. We were sitting in a coffeeshop, and along with the embarrassing blank stares and questions came odd assumptions about food: “You must eat a lot of herring there!”
From what I’ve heard, the stereotypes surrounding Finnish cuisine presume the consumption of much fish and potatoes. Even as a vegetarian with a limited diet, I love Finnish food and have found it to carry options for everyone. Here are some foods I highly suggest you try the next time you visit Finland.

Interesting how much cultural difference there is when there comes to food! Had not heard much about Finish food before, and this post has certainly made me a little curious, so thank you.
I’m glad! I didn’t know much about it either before I spent a lot of time there, and then after that most of my impressions were basically shattered.
That looks tasty!
