Finnish Cuisine Delicacy III: Mämmi

This is a traditional Finnish Easter delicacy called mämmi (rye pudding, memma på svenska). It's just another of those Finnish dishes that look like shit, but taste alright. It's not Easter yet, but these days you can get mämmi in the shops throughout the year. Goodie!

Usually mämmi is a dessert that is eaten with milk or cream. Also some sugar can be spread on it. I tried it with nonfat milk (see the picture) but that didn't taste much of anything. On the other hand, I think cream is way too much... creamy? Something between might be a good choice.

Not so many people in Finland likes mämmi either. It may be an old folk's dish. Many of young people probably haven't even tasted it yet, but still decided they don't like it. Please, give mämmi a chance, it's worth it. Trust me, LOL!
