"You can't trust people who cook as badly as that. After Finland, it's the country with the worst food."
( http://www.guardian.co.uk/france/story/0,11882,1521199,00.html )
Hahahh! Nice picture! http://image.guardian.co.uk/sys-images/Guardian/Pix/pictures/2005/05/28/chirac.jpg El_C 6 July 2005 23:31 (UTC)
Actually reideer foods are not Finnish, but Lappish instead. Lapland belongs partially to Finland (also to Sweden and Norway), but it has its own (Lappish, Sami) cultural sphere which also has its own food tradition. If Lapland is excluded reindeers dont even grow in Finland exept some Zoos. Reindeer stew is as exotic to Finns than kebab. Of course you can find reindeer stew in Finland at modern times, but you also find kebab, and kebab is not considered Finnish either. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.65.112.51 ( talk) 12:52, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
Oi, I'm very much Finnish, and unlike the person who deleted my earlier comment I actually remember what the situation was like before the EU. It was near-impossible to obtain fresh vegetables that aren't Finnish staples (say, fresh ginger) and, if Finnish produce X (apples, tomatoes, whatever) was in season, it was quite literally not allowed to import anything that could compete with it. In fairness, the situation started easing before formal membership as Finland harmonized its laws to EU standards, but just ask your parents what you could buy in a (super)market in the 1970s or the 1980s.

Not a chance! Finland has one of the highest rates of heart disease in the world, if not the actual highest. It's all very well promoting food like reindeer and berries, but very few people actually eat them. Most Finns love "Turun Sinappi" for example which is loaded with sugar and contains very little mustard. (Yes even the black one is mainly sugar!). They splurge this on their sausages with wild abandon. Finnish food is heavily processed and highly sugared. Another example is Silli (herring) in jars...fish, water, SUGAR. Even adult finns continue eating candies - something which most people abandon after childhood. The further you go into the "wilderness" the fatter people are, when you might expect them to eat more fish, meat and berries. In a survey I did in Utsjoki recently it was hard to find anyone over 30 that didn't have a big lump of abdominal fat. OK, Finns are not as fat as people other nations (America, Britain for example) YET, but the increase in their size should be alarming for the government.
What could be added to the article is information of different eating habits or cuisines in different parts of Finland e.g. the way of eating is way different in Lapland to Karelian, Savo, Kainuu, west coast or sothern Finland and vice versa. For example I have observed following things:
All these areas have they own specialities:

Why is this finnish food missing from the list as its one of the most well known foods in Finland? -- Wezqu ( talk) 21:53, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
Also now that I noticed Särä is also missing from the list and its name was protected under the EU law so nobody else could call any other food Särä or even produce the samekind of dish and call it that. -- Wezqu ( talk) 22:13, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
Smoked reindeer (savuporo) is definitely eaten in Finland. It's not very common, but then, neither is reindeer (outside the North). Jpatokal ( talk) 13:47, 3 October 2009 (UTC)
Of course the Carelian pies are mentioned, but from where I come from (Tavastia) and where my mom comes from (Central Finland) it's been an important regional delicacy. I'm just a reader and don't know how to edit the article properly, but I wish someone would. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.186.64.102 ( talk) 08:32, 8 September 2010 (UTC)
This article misses the whole food culture of Proper Finland (Varsinais-Suomi) and Tavastia (Häme). We don't eat same things as Karelians and Lappish. Is it because Proper Finland shares lots of cuisines similar to Sweden, German and Denmark? This article is terrible and biased, sorry. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kulipoika ( talk • contribs) 18:29, 1 September 2011 (UTC)
It's completely irrelevant. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.45.133.148 ( talk) 20:14, 13 May 2012 (UTC)
Is there any way criticism is relevant to this article? Why do I see no criticism section in Chinese, Italian, French, Indian, or Mexican cuisine articles? I'm sensing a double standard. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.104.25.8 ( talk) 22:22, 25 January 2013 (UTC)

There is nothing in the history section. I clicked it and there was just a expansion notice. B-Movie Fan ( talk) 14:33, 20 March 2019 (UTC)
Due to very strict food hygiene regulations, moose meat is mainly consumed within households and is rarely obtainable in restaurants.
This has changed in recent years. Fresh and frozen moose meat is now available at supermarkets, especially during the hunting season, and it's not at all unusual for restaurants to have moose meat dishes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.89.32.163 ( talk) 11:39, 25 April 2021 (UTC)
