After coming back my home, Finlandia was consumed all up very soon. Half of the tea are still kept in my refrigerator. It really sucks that I can't buy them in my country. If I have an opportunity to visit Finland again, I would buy a big box of these.

What else Finnish food you guys love?
Say something, Please~~~
Definitely Finlandia Vodka is great! what a pity that is too expensive here compared with some places abroad, I found exactly the same bottle at the Frankfurt Airport stores, costing 30% less, and some time travelling in Central America incredibily I found it at half the prize is sold here in Finland! How's that possible? OK alcohol taxes, but too much is too much.

What comes to the food, meatballs and salmon get the first places! I could eat fresh salmon everyday in all the ways they prepare it here.... for the rest of food it seems for my palate everything tastes pretty "tasteless", I know this is because I am too used to elaborated, spicy, mediterranean food, but I already managed to prepare a grrrreat salmon pasta: "fusilli al salmone ed asparagi"!!!!

Buon appetito!
