Finnish food
Finnish food has got influence from Swedish food and East-Finland from Russian food.
Casual, but energetic food makes usually from for example root vegetables, which remain over the winter. Spices are used in general a little bit, but instead of salt well.
Finnish cuisine is extensive, distinctive and living wholeness. It, what and how we eat here in Finland, tells something about nature, society, history, identity and culture.
We Finns create our cuisine to our own daily choices.
Everyday food
Everyday food is quite simply. Most people eats daily vegetables and bread with food. Dairy products are important for Finnish people. Many people drinks milk or buttermilk with food. For example Yoghurt and soured whole milk are good breakfasts and sour creams are good for foods. The Finnish breakfast traditionally includes a substantial portion of porridge as well.
Porridges are often eaten with milk, sugar, butter or berry kissel.
In summer we eat small potatoes with herrings and grilled meat and sausages.
Traditional food
Fish and meat play a prominent role in traditional Finnish dishes in some parts of the country, while the dishes in others have traditionally included various vegetables and mushrooms. Refugees from Karelia contributed to foods in other parts of Finland.
Finnish foods often use wholemeal products and berries. Milk and it’s derivatives like buttermilk are commonly used as food, drink or in various recipes.
The most popular meats are pork, beef and chicken. Approximately one third of meat is eaten as sausage. Fish has always been an important protein source. Lakes in Finland gives opportunities for fishing. We have many ways to make fish food. Including frying, boiling, drying, salting, fermenting, cold smoking or simply slicing sea fish and eating it raw.
Dark and fiber-rich rye bread is a staple of the Finnish diet. Breads are made from grains like barley, oat, rye and wheat. There is also a variety of the flat breads called rieska. In Kainuu, North Finland, the flat breads are very flat and baked on naked flame.

Review
I think this movie was really good. I recommend this movie over 10 years old people, because it is a bit scary. This movie is comedy. Target group on this movie was over 12 years old. I think my favorite persons in this movie were Will and Hank Deutschendorf: The babies. My favorite scene was when the baby stands in the window ledge.
