Murtaisiin

Murtaisiin is a traditional Finnish dish that has been a staple in Finnish cuisine for centuries. The name "murtaisiin" translates to "broken to pieces" in English, referring to the method of cooking the dish. The primary ingredient is reindeer meat, which is cut into small pieces and boiled in a broth made from reindeer bones, vegetables, and spices. The dish is typically served with boiled potatoes and lingonberry jam.

The dish was later adopted by the Finnish people, who adapted it to their own culinary traditions. Today, murtaisiin is considered a national dish of Finland and is often served during special occasions and holidays.
