So wednesday was Finland's 100th anniversary of Independance
Whilst not a Finn myself i have friends (via the internet i confess) who are.
I had a pass from Lisa for a day up my woods so i took the oppourtunity to make a traditional Finn meal
Jannki. Its simple fare as it was a meal prepared by the woodsmen.
So simple it has only 3 ingrediants
Smoked Fatty Bacon
Rye bread (ryvita sort of rye bread)
Water
First you slowly fry the bacon so it lets all the flavour and juices out.
Then crush the rye bread/ryvita into the pan and allow it to soak up the juices
Then a splash of water and allow to boil.
Wash it down with strong black kokkaffe
Its a surprisingly filling and i can certainly see it fueling a day's hard graft.
If i am honest i personally may add something to give it a little kick if i was to eat it frequently but it was a lot more palatable than i thought it would be when described to me
