Ce soir c'est Lohikeitto ! 🇫🇮

C'est une soupe au saumon avec des poireaux, des pommes de terre, des carottes et une base à la crème.

Par contre, ça ne me serait absolument pas venu à l'esprit de mettre du saumon frais et du saumon fumé dans une soupe ... mais en tout cas c'est pas mal !

And of course it's not just the two quite famous cuisines that have morphed over the years. To look at that are considered "traditional" dishes in my home country (Finland), they are often based on one of more of the following:

Potato (only introduced to Finland in the mid-1700s)

Wheat (cultivars that actually survive in the Finnish climate were only introduced in the 1800s)

Macaroni pasta (only introduced to Finland in the 1800s)

Rice (impossible to cultivate in Finland; first records of rice imports to Finland are from the 1600s but before the introduction of modern logistics in the 20th century rice was luxury dish available only to the rich)

Atlantic herring (not found in local waters; introduced to the country by a local fishing company in the 1940s)

A special mention also to the centerpiece of a traditional Finnish christmas dinner: a leg of pork. A piece of an animal that can only provide meat and nothing else, which would have been historically been available to only to the rich.

Well I would give a medieval peasant some spaghetti.

My quest for homemade vegan mooncakes has morphed into a quest to make mooncake-joulutorttu hybrids. Fusion cuisine, baby!

First test today is a semi-failure (joulutorttu dough will not keep the mooncake pattern on its surface), but they are still cooling so I haven't tried them yet so I don't know how the joulutorttu jam fared...

But if the jam didn't fail then the next step is using mooncake dough and joulutorttu jam.

Terra Vegane Megga Exx is playing the role of egg wash, and whether that is enough of an egg wash for mooncakes I don't know yet (what is the purpose of the egg wash anyway? is it just to get the golden color to make the mooncakes look like a golden moon type thing, because Megga Exx is making the joulutorttu golden at least...)

Are we supposed to vote for the best food or the most evil food?

(I enjoyed most of the ones listed. The fact we didn't always have food at home might have been a contributing factor though. But I never learned to like the evil pasta salad).
