Our friends M and A from Finland held a Finnish dinner party on Saturday the 19th. And what a wonderful dinner it was! Smoked salmon, mashed potatoes, meatballs… And as a special gift, M’s parents had brought REINDEER when they visited her in November! It was delicious, and everyone got to try some. Thank you again for having us!!!
(How they managed to make this whole dinner plus bake three blueberry pies is beyond me. J)
If you do ever find yourself at a Finnish dinner, take care if you spy a shiny black bottle…the liquorice liqueur is quite a mouthful! ;-)
Pictures are below. Enjoy! J

| Yes, the reaction was almost universal. ;-) |
I do believe that you would agree the Finnish liquorice is nothing like Canadian, so when you are expecting sweet it can be a bit of a shock! But the reindeer was amazing!!!!!
