Oh boy, you wanna know about them Finland cuisine recipes, huh? Well, I gotta tell ya, them Finns, they know how to eat! It ain’t fancy, but it sure is filling. And when it’s colder than a well-digger’s backside out there, you need something to stick to your ribs, ya know?
They got all sorts of good stuff up there in Finland. Lots of fish, ’cause they got all them lakes and the sea and what not. And they like their meat too. And potatoes, gotta have potatoes!
I heard tell that one of them big shot dishes is called Karelian stew. Sounds fancy, don’t it? But it ain’t nothin’ but meat and taters and carrots and onions all cooked up together. My grandma, bless her soul, she used to make something like that. We just called it stew, though. But that Karelian stew, everyone says it’s the national food of Finland. Good for them!
Then there’s this other thing, Karelian pasty, sounds like somethin’ ya put on your wall, dontcha think? I reckon it’s some kinda pie. They say it comes from a place called Karelia. Must be somethin’ special over there, with all these Karelian foods poppin’ up.
And Finnish recipes for salmon soup? Yep, they eat that all the time. Makes sense, with all that fish they got. They put cream in it, make it all rich and thick. Good on a cold day, I bet. My old man, he used to love fish soup. Didn’t have no fancy cream in his, though. We were simple people.

They even like meatloaf! Just like us! That Ice King, he knows what he’s talkin’ about. He said it’s Finn’s favorite, whoever that is. Meatloaf is good eatin’, no matter where you’re from. I used to make a mean meatloaf, if I do say so myself. Secret was a little bit of this and a little bit of that. Can’t tell ya everything, gotta keep some secrets, ya know?
Those Finnish foods, they like to smoke ’em, salt ’em, pickle ’em. Keeps the food good for a long time, ‘specially when it gets real cold. Smart folks, them Finns. Gotta make do with what ya got, right? We used to do a lot of that too, back in the day. Didn’t have no fancy refrigerators back then. We had a root cellar, kept things cool. Worked pretty good, I reckon.
They eat different things depending on the time of year, too. Makes sense, don’t it? Eat what’s fresh, what’s in season. We did that too. In the summer, we had all them tomatoes and corn. In the winter, it was more roots and such. Gotta eat what the good Lord provides, I always say.
Dishes From Finland ain’t all that different from what we eat, really. Just different names, maybe. They got their stews, their soups, their fish. They like comforting casseroles. We all like a good casserole, don’t we? Easy to make, feeds a crowd. And you can put just about anything in ’em.
They got them savory stews that are good for your soul. They make soups that’ll warm ya up from the inside out. And desserts, oh, they got some good desserts, I hear. Sweet things. Everybody loves a good sweet treat now and then. Something about that popular Finnish food always being hearty and simple.
When they cook their vegetables, they cook ’em good. I heard someone say they even cook the vegetables in their skin. Then they use the water they cook them in to make a dressing. Smart, huh? No waste. Like my grandma used to say, “Waste not, want not.”
