  • 2019 trip to Finland. Was able to see a fair bit of Helsinki and then spend some time up north which was amazing. Wish I could have had more time to see family on this trip but next time for sure. Here's of the great things that I came home with from my trip ... trip of a lifetime.

    One thing you can do with the tyrkisk peber is to crush them to tiny pieces and put it to ice cream. Tastes very nice.

      Budapest is very special, most delicious. I like filled liquorice also but just sukulaku, where there is chocolate taste. Before the Covid I visited Finland twice a year from Norway and always brought back Fazer chocolate and certain kind of dark rye bread, at least 6-7 bags, about 2 and a half kilo.You can only buy one type dark bread from Oslo. It is funny but I have never liked salmiakki, maybe I could used to it.
      A pity I cannot send you a video how to pronounce the Finnish in the Muumi book. Maybe I could make one to CZcams if I could find the book.
