Self-imposed isolation, day 18

A very uneventful day, so I’m sharing a pictures of traditional Finnish Easter treats. (Food - always a good topic. 😄)




Mämmi, which does not look particularly appetizing, is made of rye flour and malt and traditionally sweetened by a natural process of slow baking in a low temperature. It is typically eaten with cream or milk and sometimes sugar. I like mine with vanilla custard. Lots of custard.



And pasha, which is traditionally made of quark, cream, eggs and butter and flavoured with lemon, raisins and almonds. I make a somewhat lighter version with quark and whipped vanilla custard – and I have sometimes experimented with rum-soaked raisins. An excellent idea, definitely recommended!
