You're probably wondering what exactly a "sister's sausage" is as well as why it's pink and why the name sounds vaguely euphemistic. So does every kid who grows up in Finland but sadly, the truth behind the name is not as interesting as you might think- from the wikipedia entry on siskonmakkara:
The word siskonmakkara is a partial loan translation from the Swedish compound word siskonkorv (korv meaning "sausage") whose siskon part had originally been susiskon, derived from German Sausischen and French saucisse, both meaning "small sausage". The word siskon is a homonym of the genitive form of the word sisko meaning "sister", as the word siskonmakkara appears to mean "sister’s sausage".
Boiled meat and potatoes.
This jives with my experience of Finns.
Uhh excuse me, there's carrots and rutabaga in there too 😤
Maybe you'd like something else like "fat sauce" (served with potatoes)
I love all Scandinavian cuisine during the Winter months.
Janssons frestelse -- sardines, potatoes, butter, heavy cream, and soft cheese -- is one of my favorite casseroles.
Oh hey, janssoninkiusaus! I know what that is (We've inherited a ton of Swedish cuisine, especially in Western and Southern Finland- the closer you get to the Eastern border there's more of a Russian/Slavic influence)
I just realised the last time I've had some must've been in my high school cafeteria- might look into fixing that at some point.
We serve with hot mustard and horseradish to cut on the richness of the butter, heavy cream, and cheese.
Not sure if traditional.
the butter, heavy cream, and cheese
These form like half of Nordic cuisine so it's understandable.
This is what big government does with the leftovers after they force femme your sister
I think most people are disappointed to learn the word's actual etymology
I think you is just covering for the fact that you killed and cooked your sister
