Finland boasts a hearty selection of foods to eat, delicious and satisfying. In the west, meat and fish are the staples of their diet, and in the east, vegetables and mushrooms are used very frequently. Modern finnish cooking has been heavily influenced by European and American cuisine. There are a few great dishes, such as Kaalikaaryleet (cabbage rolls) served with boiled potatoes and lingonberry preserves.Finnish summer soup includes cauliflower, baby carrots,
fresh green beans, fresh shelled tiny peas, and light cream ( sounds great to me!). For vegetarians, black eyed green pie is a dish the finnish love, as well as finnish cucumber salad, where the dressing is poured over 
the top of fresh sliced cucumbers.
