Episinä

Episinä is a traditional Finnish dish that has been a staple in Finnish cuisine for centuries. The name "Episinä" comes from the Finnish word "epis", which means "to boil" or "to simmer". The dish is typically made with a variety of ingredients, including potatoes, carrots, turnips, and sometimes other root vegetables.
