@frogyz

OFC!! You're charming and I like the way you engage with other people's content :) and... Kiitos <3 for thinking of me

I think m... Delilah would perhaps like Liquor confectionery. Ykno those little chocolates that have liquor flavored fillings and such. I think she'd like em. A mix of decadent and sweet and also something a little more firey. She prefers to not use any substances like drink or smoke so I think this could be her indulgence. In reality I feel that she likely doesn't eat anything fancy since she doesn't even need to eat as a High judgement, so she deserves something nice every once in a while. Let's say Lassi brings her treats sometimes. Liquor confections and maybe warm cinnamon buns.

And then speak of Lassi (and Siru), I think he likes blueberry pie, and there's history behind that! :) bc Nan used to bake blueberry pies for the chickies when they were little, among other things most likely. This is based on my mom who to this day makes blueberry pies every now and then. Finns gotta love blueberries. Hi fives Lassi and Siru. They both love that shit. Those two are whole ass blueberries themselves!! Nan probably called them that sometimes, especially bc the word for blueberry sounds really similar to a finnish word of affection which is like. Equivalent to Darling. :3 (Mustikka = blueberry) (Mussukka = honeyboo or darling, what you'd call someone you love. Doesn't have direct translation. Aimed at children in most cases)

As for traditional stuff I'm sure Siru and Lassi tried to learn like what plants are safe to eat and then snacked on those occasionally. I remember my older cousin showing me that wood sorrel(??) is edible to humans. I had to google that word btw hope it's accurate. We say Ketunleipä (literally "Fox's bread"). Since they're bird demons I'm sure they also ate rowan berries early in the autumn, before they started fermenting. The village's pub actually makes an alcoholic rowan drink out of the berries :) this is based on how waxwings(?? Another googled word) eat rowan berries when they ferment and act all silly bc of it. Drunk little birds.

Maybe Lassi and Siru were little teenage dirtbags and tried to sneak drinks of rowan juice when they got older.. But don't tell mom. That's not appropriate for a growing devil.

Last addition, I think either people around the village or Nan herself made tree bark/sap candies! Birch trees contain sorbitol which can be used as a sweetening agent. In Finland this is sort of a thing™ but not the most popular compared to other less traditional (or even equally traditional) stuff. But it is a Thing™! Tree sap is like a traditional finnish flavor/scent/ingredient in stuff like. Shampoos, I think? Drinks as well? I'd mention tar flavored candy and other products but I feel none of the Varpunens like those lol. But it's another traditional thing. Hashtag Finland stuff. Tar.

So yeah!! I really appreciate you asking about these folks, them being finnish (part Swedish on Nan's side) obviously is inspired by my own life and upbringing :) many of these things are common knowledge to me but I don't actually know how common of a thing they are.. Elsewhere? Or how widely known? So. Shrugs. Nonetheless I would still explain this stuff for the characters' sake :3 kiitos for the ask!! Buh bye!!
