Lakiasteikassa
Lakiasteikassa is a traditional Finnish dish, a type of baked casserole. Its name translates roughly to "lice roast," though the origin of this peculiar nomenclature is not entirely clear and likely refers to a historical ingredient or preparation method rather than actual lice. The dish typically features minced or finely chopped meat, often pork, beef, or a combination thereof, mixed with a binder such as breadcrumbs or flour. Vegetables like onions and sometimes grated root vegetables are commonly incorporated to add flavor and texture.
The mixture is then seasoned with salt, pepper, and often other spices like marjoram or thyme. This
