Karelian pie
Have you ever tried karelian pie?
It's a traditional Finnish pastry. It's made from rye dough that's stuffed with rice porridge. Simple but absolutely delicious.
Hmmm. Karelia is the part of Finland which is owned by Russia. I wonder why Finland isn't trying to get it back?
shareRussia doesn't own it. Fuck those guys. I was talking about the pies anyway, have you tried them?
shareI realize that, but it gives some background if folks know about Karelia as a country.
Karelia is definitely part of Russia now. The last war between Russia and Finland ended in 1940.

Yeah, I'd love to try them. But in my entire life I have never seen a Finnish bakery where I could buy them.🤣
