Test Your Knowledge About Finland Cuisine! Quiz

The correct answer is Finnish Vodkha. Finnish Vodkha is not a Finnish dessert. Vodkha is a type of alcoholic beverage, not a dessert. The other options, Vispipuuro, Riisipuuro, and Kiisseli, are all traditional Finnish desserts. Vispipuuro is a dessert made from semolina and lingonberries, Riisipuuro is a rice pudding, and Kiisseli is a fruit soup thickened with starch.

Riisipuuro can be called rice porridge because it is a traditional Finnish dish made from rice and milk. It is cooked slowly until the rice grains are soft and the mixture becomes creamy and porridge-like in consistency. Riisipuuro is often served with cinnamon, sugar, and butter on top, and it is commonly eaten as a breakfast or dessert dish in Finland.

Potatoes replaced turnips in the Finnish traditional cooking culture. This suggests that turnips were previously a staple ingredient in Finnish cuisine, but potatoes gradually took their place. The introduction of potatoes likely brought new flavors and cooking techniques to Finnish dishes, leading to a shift in the traditional cooking culture.

Vodhka is not a Finnish beverage. While Pontikka, Sima, and Sati are all traditional Finnish beverages, Vodhka is not commonly consumed in Finland.

The correct answer is Cabbage. Cabbage is not a wholemeal diet popular in Finland. Wholemeal diets in Finland commonly include foods like oat, rye, and barley, which are staple grains in the Finnish cuisine. However, cabbage is not typically considered a wholemeal food in Finland.

Rye is not a tuber. It is a cereal grain that is commonly used in Finnish cuisine to make bread, porridge, and other dishes. Tubers are swollen, underground plant stems that store nutrients, such as potatoes and yams. Turnip is also a tuber, but rye is not.

Pork is the most popular meat in Finland because it is widely consumed and incorporated into traditional Finnish dishes. Pork is versatile and can be prepared in various ways, such as smoked, grilled, or used in sausages. It is also a key ingredient in popular Finnish dishes like karjalanpiirakka (Karelian pasties) and hernekeitto (pea soup). Additionally, pork is readily available and affordable in Finland, making it a preferred choice for many Finnish households.

Buttermilk is the most popular kind of milk in Finland.

Ruisleipa is the correct answer because it is a traditional Finnish bread made from rye flour, which is a staple in Finnish cuisine. Pizza, Helmipuuro, and Riispuuro, on the other hand, are not native to Finland and are more commonly associated with Italian and other cuisines.
