Hi-brow, I guess it means pricey, stuffy restaurants for the rich and the elite... ? So, pomme puree... well, pleased, I don't know, but they do what they want, hein. Weird still.
I simply mean nice restaurants, and less nice restaurants trying to be pretentious. I thought you would like the fact we use so much French in our menus

No oil whatsover on my beloved mashed potatoes, not even on pastas. [/color]
What a dry fellow you are!

You really eat that ?
Not on a daily basis, no. It's a meal I'd cook on a weekend, or if friends were coming around - or I'd choose in a restaurant. The en papillote works very well with baby carrots too. My favourite way of cooking them.
Hi Ariete and thanks for the numbers. What is up with Finland food I read on another forum something about comments/complaints about Finnish foods. The only food I know is Karelian pastry bought at a Christmas fair long ago.
I never made it far enough north to visit Finland ... I did go frequently to NO SW & DK but that was long time ago.

Items like potatoes, salmon, pasta, brown bread and like cabbage salad are staple foods for Finns, but some refugees complained because they wanted rice, shawarma, hummus and Arabic flatbread. And even the vegetables and fruits were differnt that they had been used to.
Of course this was blown into massive proportions, in reality these complaints were rather isolated events.

Oh OK.
Well, I don't like it nor dislike it, I just don't really care. I'm not going to jump everywhere just because someone use a French word or a French term, especially when there's an English equivalent, but well, like I said, they do what they want. If they think they look "classy" when using one....

If I liked vegetables, I'd say it must be good but since I don't like them, I'd just say it looks interesting.

At school they used too much oil I think, now I'm disgusted by it each time I see a bottle. You don't even want to know how much salt I put in everything...
Hungary has excellent and underrated food, especially cakes. Because of the Austro-Hungarian empire they have this great pastry traditions along with Austria.
Hi Ariete
thanks for all the great pictures going to cook something Finnish soon will google some recipes. I did bring back cookbooks from Scandinavia and Germany from my frequent travels long time ago.
One more request is there an online Finland grocery shop I can view thanks for any link, have a nice weekend.
Karelian hot pot looks a bit like one of the beef stews I make. And the salmon looks familiar to a buffet food item long ago.
It's a bit general but to me anybody along the mediterranean coastline has an awesome cuisine.
Especially the Greek and Spanish!
