Ping: Our Finn FriendsLONG&OT

Question:

So what, if any, is your studied response to Jacque’s blurted opinion that Brit food, after Finnish, is the worst, in *his* exalted French judgement? What gets into the man, anyway, to generate such statements?

Jacques didn’t start it, his Italian friend Silvio (Berlusconi) did. What seems baffling to me is, I’ve always thought of France and Italy as two of the most civilised countries in the world, but both have leaders who have acted incredibly rudely. The root of it all is that Finland and Italy were candidates for the European Union’s food safety institution. It was finally placed in Italy, and at the opening, SB again attacked Finnish food, like he did when both countries were lobbying for it. Not only that, he insulted our (female) President by claiming that he used his male charms on her to get the institution. I can’t believe a clod like this can be elected to lead a country like Italy. Some say the elections were fixed. — Marina, Frank and Miranda.

Response:

At the moment, the best Finnish food is the fresh veggies and berries that are in season – new potatoes, fresh peas that you eat direct from the pod, fresh strawberries, blueberries, beets, spring onions, carrots… I’ve seen many claims that Finnish veggies are the cleanest in the world, and have no reason to doubt it. Another big thing in Finnish cuisine is fish, but I can’t really tell you more about that, because I’ve never liked fish myself. Seasonal specialties include crayfish (a tradition brought over from Sweden) in August, m
