Hajuseosten

Hajuseosten, also known as "hajus" in some regions, is a traditional Finnish soup that has been a staple in Finnish cuisine for centuries. It is typically made from the bones and other trimmings of a pig, which are simmered for several hours to extract the maximum amount of flavor. The resulting broth is then strained and seasoned with various herbs and spices, such as bay leaves, parsley, and black pepper. The soup is often served with boiled potatoes, boiled or fried bread, and sometimes with a side of pickled cucumbers or other pickled vegetables.

It is a popular choice for lunch or dinner and is often served with a side of rye bread or other traditional Finnish bread.

The soup is often associated with the rural and agricultural communities of Finland, and is often served in small, family-owned restaurants and cafes.
