Naapurinosto

Naapurinosto is a traditional Finnish dish that translates to "city's nose" in English. It is a hearty soup made from the bones and other trimmings of a pig, which are simmered for several hours to extract their flavor. The name "naapurinosto" comes from the idea that the soup is so rich and flavorful that it could be mistaken for the aroma of a nearby city.

The dish is typically served with a side of boiled potatoes and a crusty bread roll. It is often accompanied by a glass of Finnish beer or a shot of aquavit, a strong anise-flavored spirit.

The ingredients for naapurinosto are simple: pig bones, vegetables such as carrots, celery, and onions, and sometimes a bit of pork meat.
