I’ve tried a lot of different foods in my lifetime. I’ve had haggis, I’ve had meal worms, crickets and eyeballs. But even then, I took a look at the Finnish fishwich here and had second thoughts about whether I’d indulge in Finn cuisine. A dish called Vendice is described as tiny fish baked into an open rye tart. Hmm. Apparently the Finns don’t have a very solid culinary rep on the continent. According to the piece here, French President Jacques Chirac allegedly said that Britain was the worst place to eat “after Finland.” And then the Italian weighed in with Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi saying he had to “endure” Finnish food during his travels. Of course, this could be typical Franco-Italian pomposity ,but if the fish tart shown here is any indication…well, I may stick with the Vodka.
