I don't even know what traditional Finnish cuisine is, though.

Sure, much is alike, but there are specialities...
The Danes does eel very good. Eel does barely exist in the Norwegian kitchen. Neither does halibut or deep water fish like uer have any place in the Finnish kitchen? And of certain reasons are danish mountain butter quite rare?

Then it comes to national goodies like
Smalahoved, smoked and boiled sheepscull, with all and everything...yummmi



The Icelenders have some similar traditions, and also on horsemeat.

The "all and everything" tradition are also served as kobbesveive in northern Norway, that is seal (kobbe) with skin and eyes and hairs in a large cauldron. Children rarely eats it.

And I grew up on whale beef, I still love it...
