Although I have to question the logic of a supermarket who has a McDonald's or Hesburger - the Finnish equivalent of the Golden Arches - inside their shop. Is it just me or does that seem wrong?
Also, why put cellophane around a pepper? What a waste of plastic! You seem to have other single vegetables loose in crates so why not peppers? It boggles the mind. And who knew there were so many different types of chicken breast? Here we have extra thin slices for less than 3 minutes in the pan! Ooh and let's not forget fat free milk! My mother would love it. I think I read in From Finland With Love by Roman Schatz, a delightful piss take of the Finnish people by a German, that the Finns have a borderline obsession with fat-free. And yet the children have to drink it all the time. They need the fat right?
There certainly isn't any fat in the majority of their traditional food, like wholesome rye bread and fresh fruit. Not to mention delicious (salty) but fat free reindeer! Yummy.
I think I'm going to have trouble when I come home. This diet of bread and salad will do wonders or disasters to my poor British body, so used to lots of fat and sugar. I'm torturing myself watching Nigella Feasts on YouTube at the moment, God knows I love that woman. She reminds me of my lovely Mummy.
