BREAKFAST ON THE PIER

We've stopped wining about the weather and started adding extra layers of wool around us... And carrying raincoat everywhere with us. Like this morning, when the wind blew so strongly that it was difficult to stand on the bonton-built-pier. Waves rocked the pier side to side, like it was a boat. (It was fun though!)

We in Finland believe that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Therefore our breakfast often contains more savory than sweet treats. We also have a saying "runis se on mikä tiellä pitää" meaning "it is the rye that keeps you going". So, breakfast is not complete without dark rye bread, or karelian pies (rice filled rye pies).

Karelian pies are made out of rye-dough, and filled with potato-mash or rice porridge.

So, now you know it; rye is our our superpower!
