Karelia: A Finnish-American Couple in Stalin's Russia | 
Today, I made Karelian pasties, using mainly this recipe: https://www.saimaalife.com/recipe-finnish-karelian-pies/ I was very bad at shaping them 😞
I served them with mushroom soup, which although not specifically Finnish I thought would go well with them. Quite nice.

Dilara @lil1inblue yes that was quite a discovery 😋. I‘ll definitely make it again. What other Finnish food do you like best? 6d
lil1inblue @Dilara I love Finnish cabbage rolls with lingonberries or lingonberry jam. I also love Pulla, which is also called Nisua depending on the region and time period (cardamom bread). And salmon soup. I can share some recipes when I get home this evening! My mom's nisua recipe is both delicious and entertaining. 😂 Oh, and there is a Finnish oven pancake that is to die for, as well. 6d
Dilara @lil1inblue Thanks! There's definitely a pulla recipe in the Moomin cookbook I got from the library: I was planning on making it. But I'm not sure the other dishes are included, so I'd love pointers or recipes 😋 6d
