>kama

(it's actually really fucking nice if you sweeten it with a bit of sugar and drink it on a hot summer day, ends up being filling and refreshing)
>kohuke
fucking cheese curds in chocolate, a recent invention but nice.

Overall local cousine is quite nice, fins have lotsa nice shit like porokäristus which is frozen moose or reindeer meat cut to thin slices made into a hearthy stew eaten with mash and cranberry jam and assorted pickles.

Bonus for Scandinavia:
Rapid modernization lead to loss of traditional dishes. There is quite a bit of cured meat, pickle variants, cheese and milk beer that got lost to the annals of time and modernization.
And there is even more herb usage that got lost to modernization, since people stopped foraging the hills for spices over a few decades, and the knowledge got completely lost.

Sagas even mention milk alcohol, which i assume is kefir based. You know, for long term nutritional storage.

>>12995116
Wouldn't even pass for a dish. Its missing some kind of condiment or gravy to compliment the potatos and carrots.
Peas doesn't belong in that dish unless they are in a mono ingredient white stew.
Its possible to salvage the dish, but it would mean using butter with spices as gravy.

The chicken however is not salvageable. Even something as basic as a pepper marinade would salvage the poultry.

Because they don't really live in a place that is good for growing shit. Vikings had to eat anything they could claw out of the ground or sea.

Southern Sweden is believed to be where the goths came from for example.
All the wars between sweden and denmark, fighting over norway for hundred of years.
Taking the best general Napoleon had and made him king of Sweden.
Gustavus Adolphus fighting against german Catholics as a protestant, straight up massacring a big chunk of the german population.
A nobel, soon to be king, crossing 90 km of snow just to be stopped by rebells who chased him down to join his cause against the danish lords! (This is the reason for Vasaloppet)
Same king had his firstborn killed by his brothers by arsenic poison in his pea soup, all because he married a common lady.

You're not only hilariously wrong, you're hilariously wrong on a board that is absolutely crawling with Danes for some reason.

I guess our traditional cuisine can look at little bland if you only know if from pictures, but a freshly caught fish or a nice cut of porkbelly doesn't really need a lot of spicing. Besides, even though spices had to be imported from far away, people here did make good use of herbs pretty much from the start.

It's true about spices being very expensive and difficult to get ahold of.
However those that could afford of them made liberal use of them: Allspice, used in Kroppkakor, or as a pickling spice for Herring.
Cinnamon and kardemum are used frequently in all manner of baked goods.
Clove, black and white peppar, bay leaf, Dill, parsley, juniper, ginger and mustard are all used frequently as well.
Try a bread baked in northern scandinavia and it will be filled with a fuck ton of spices and probably quite sweet. Magnus Nilson made a very intresting presentation about scandinavian bread culture. In summary the northern parts fresh baked loaves where a luxuary so you would put all your spices and sugar into those few loaves you did bake.
