Scandinavian cuisine

[Wilian]

I know Finland isn't Scandinavia but I'll invade anyhow because it's mämmi-time! They've finally stocked it up in shops. One of my favourite traditional easter-period finnish products.



It's delicious as fuck.Especially with some vanilla sauce.

[Donald Hellscream]

I like Danish cuisine.

What is this sludge? it does look yummy.

You fell for it. Now read his sig. That can't be a coincidence.

I once tasted diarrhea so shit is fine.

Edit:

Originally mämmi was eaten during Lent.[clarification needed] Its laxative properties were associated with purification and purging.[citation needed]

Mämmi is disgusting. Not really an expert on Scandinavian cuisine but I love Gravlax. Finnish cuisine is really bland but it isn't bad. (Dutch cuisine is quite bland as well so there's not much difference)

I quite like Karjalanpaisti:

It's mämmi, traditional finnish easter food.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%C3%A4mmi

Mämmi (Finnish pronunciation: [ˈmæmmi]), Swedish memma, is a traditional Finnish Easter[clarification needed] dessert.

Mämmi is traditionally made of water, rye flour, and powdered malted rye, seasoned salt, and dried powdered Seville orange zest. The mixture is then allowed to go through a slow natural sweetening process before being baked in an oven until set with Maillard reaction. Preparation takes many hours, and after baking the mämmi is stored chilled for three to four days before being ready to eat.[1] Instead of being allowed to sweeten naturally, traditionally, commercially made mämmi is usually seasoned with dark molasses. Traditional mämmi tastes aromatic sweet, having only up to 2% sugar, but commercially produced mämmi can have as much as 20% sugar and tastes different, not so aromatic sweet. Mämmi has up to 10% protein and is rich in trace elements.[citation needed] Mämmi was traditionally stored in small bowls made of birch bark called tuokkonen or rove. Finnish packaging still prints birch bark-like texture on the carton boxes.

What? Mämmi is genuinely delicious

[Babadoo]

It's very very bland. Only good thing are swedish meatballs with cranberry sauce.

[Mavett]

Love some frozen gravlax (making it myself), cut a few thin slices and put it on a fresh toast, absolute delight.

Scandinavian cuisine number one, all other nations inferior.

[Mihalik]

Two things come to mind when I think of Scandinavian food.



IKEA meatballs.

[Lochton]

Meh, I feel like there's some representation missing...

'Smørebrød' (basically open sandwiches, quite a hit but mostly at tourists).


'Stegt flæsk med persillesovs' (Panfried pork (specifically the same bit where the bacon is from. Served with parsley sauce).


'Brændende Kærlighed' (Basically, mash with diced bacon, onion, seasoning etc).


'Æbleflæsk' (Apple sauce and pork/bacon).

Scandinavian cuisine is awesome, especially when compared to french,british or american IMO. But nothing beats indian or asian cuisine in general

Scandinavian food always looked uninspiring

[Lochton]

A little bit of danish..

So what you felt was missing was Danish food?

[Fuiking]

Always better then dutch cuisine... POTATO'S EVERYWHERE! HANDLE THEM!. Yeah.

[Acidz]

How exciting, another thread about scandinavia.

[ohwell]

The Northern European countries have such horrible, bland cuisines.. /shudder.

My own countries cuisine included of course.

They all look so plain just like I expected. I mean hell most of them are meat and potatoes in the pictures.

[Wilian]

I liked Scandinavian cuisine when I was in Finland

Finland is not part of Scandinavia tho'.

[Stelio Kontos]

Scandinavian cuisine number one, all other nations inferior.

Greek, Italian, inferior? All the cuisines of Asia inferior? Mexican inferior?

Historically, everyday food in the scandic countries have been primarily just to nurture you and feed you for the smallest amount of money, so that translates into pretty uninspiring foods.

People maybe don't realize but most of the nordic countries are really close to, or inside the arctic circle. That said, I love traditional swedish dishes and love them more when you get creative with them and use products from all over the world.
