Aukkohakkuu

Aukkohakkuu is a traditional Finnish dish that has been a staple in the country's cuisine for centuries. The name translates to "goose plucking," reflecting the method of preparation. The dish is typically made with a whole goose, which is first plucked and then roasted. The goose is often seasoned with salt, pepper, and other herbs before being cooked. The meat is then carved from the bone and served with the skin, which is crispy and flavorful. Aukkohakkuu is often accompanied by traditional Finnish side dishes such as boiled potatoes, lingonberry jam, and rye bread. The dish is a symbol of Finnish hospitality and is often served at special occasions and gatherings. Despite its traditional roots, aukkohakkuu has also gained popularity in other countries, particularly in Finland's neighboring nations.
