It's not me defining it.
Oh you dipshit, that just means a restaurant that's in Finland. You can have a "suomalainen kiinalainen ravintola".
Traditional Finnish food as a cuisine isn't a thing because of how shit it is and you not being able to accept that is ihan vitun naurettavaa nationalismipaskaa.
It's not, it's a fact.
You're just deluding yourself because you wholly lack the capacity to ever criticise Finland or Finns in any capacity.
Don't think I don't remember you doubting my story of the police abusing me, of which I have proof. You're literally brainwashed so badly you can't even admit that undersalted unspiced boiled meat is a shit "dish".
I'd like to see you try making any of these points to someone like Gordon Ramsay. Actually you remind me of the people on his shows. You know the type, the ones who insist they make the greatest food in the world while Gordon can barely stomach it. And then it's the same "well it's your opinion" and even "he doesn't know anything about food".
Like literally all karelian stew recipes actually call for spices and carrots for instance, unless you search for a "traditional" one.
Why is it so hard to accept that some dishes are shit?
I hope that helps.
Nope.
Often when you specify "suomalainen" it correctly interprets the results as you seeking for Finnish or Finnish influenced food. Test it out yourself.
I get that you don't much care for Finnish cuisine but it doesn't mean such a thing doesn't exist. How fancy or popular or varied or even good it is is an another matter. And it's not what I'm arguing about. This isn't an emotional or opinion thing to me, I'm just saying the concept of cuisine doesn't really work how you are defining it. It's not even about it being Finnish, it'd be the same for Icelandic or Russian or Greek or any other cuisine.
Huh?
I'm like 90% sure you definitely replied to me in a thread that I talked about being abused by the police, with the general suspicion of "our police don't do that" which all Finns have. Even I had it, until I got abused like that.
I'm not the one defining the concept.
Boiled meat is not unique. I would argue we don't have enough food culture for it to constitute "a cuisine". And that's sort of backed up by there being no international restaurants serving mainly Finnish cuisine.
I mean could be, I don't remember. Just seemed like a weird thing to throw out there.
That is you trying to define it. Your own article links to "List of European cuisines" and that includes and links to "Finnish cuisine". If you were trying to define cuisine through truly unique foods or preparation techniques etc, not only would you drive yourself insane but you'd also find out you wouldn't have many cuisines left.
