Finnish Beet Salad

Sat, 18 May 2002 13:04:05 -0400

This salad is made in Finland in two ways: either with herring (rosolli) or without (punajuurisalaatti). It's my favorite beet salad, and although I've never made it including the herring I'm sure it would be tasty that way, too! Based on a recipe from "The Finnish Cookbook" by Beatrice A. Ojakangas. First prepared in our household by my husband Mike. :) -- posted by Julesong

Rutmus

Sat, 06 Dec 2003 20:00:40 -0500

I love this, though I will admit that for some it is an acquired taste. I like to top mine with lingon berry sauce, whole cranberry relish would do. It is pronounced 'Rootmoose' or 'rut-Muss' depending on where the speaker is from. I am from the states so I tend to say 'rootmoose'. -- posted by KookieMomster

One of my favorite Christmas treats, and very popular with the Finnish community with coffee. I know,you're thinking prunes..ewww...but they are very good. (the bake time does not include the overnight dough chill time). -- posted by LiisaN

Pannu Kakku (Finnish Oven Pancake)

Thu, 22 Jan 2004 20:00:31 -0500

My Mom used to make this as a special breakfast treat when we had company or for holidays. It is a baked pancake/custard. I like it with syrup and sausages served on the side. The Finns would often serve with jam or fruit preserves and of course coffee. -- posted by LiisaN

Piparkakut - Finnish Ginger Cookies

Thu, 23 Sep 2004 20:00:29 -0400

Piparkakuts are a traditional holiday cookie in Finland. They are usually cut into round scallop shapes, but little boys and pigs are the traditional shapes during the holidays. I found this recipe on the internet and I can't wait to give it a try soon! --NOTE-- cooking time includes cooling time and chilling time. -- posted by Kim D.

Freshly Salted Salmon

Sun, 11 Sep 2005 21:29:43 -0400

This is raw fish, marinated in spices. For me this would be served especially at Christmas, but it's so nice there's no reason why not to eat it any time. Traditionally you do this with a whole salmon, but that's not always practical! -- posted by kolibri

Mulled wine - glögi - is a traditional Finnish alcoholic drink served hot, typically served around Christmas. This is my own recipe and I'm quite proud of it. -- posted by kolibri
