Verinen Pillu
This is me and my Finnish buddies' drinking toast. And yes, I know what it means :)

Have you ever had Surströmming?

I want to try some but so far chickened out.
[edit] Ah was thinking of Gravlax but this stuff sounds much better.

No. The food I've eaten in Finland hasn't be all that memorable, I've got to say.
Saying that, barbecued makkara with mustard is the shiznit. And you can't go wrong with a late-night meat pie from one of the Grilli kiosks around Helsinki station. Full of pissheads but it's good greasy food.

My fondest food memory of Finland was the putti panna (or whatever it was called) they sold out of the drums on the streets. A portion of that after a skinful was bliss.
