Tilasiirtoa

Tilasiirtoa is a traditional Finnish dish that has been a staple in Finnish cuisine for centuries. The name "tilasiirtoa" translates to "table moving" in English, referring to the practice of moving the table to the next person in line after a meal. This dish is typically served as a side dish or a main course, and it is often accompanied by other traditional Finnish dishes such as herring, pickled herring, and rye bread.

The main ingredient in tilasiirtoa is a type of smoked fish called "savukala," which is often made from herring or whitefish. The fish is first smoked over birch wood, which gives it a distinctive smoky flavor. The smoked fish is then cut into small pieces and mixed with a variety of other ingredients, including onions, potatoes, carrots, and sometimes even pickled herring. The mixture is then cooked in a pot with butter or lard until the vegetables are tender.

Tilasiirtoa is typically served hot, and it is often accompanied by a side of rye bread or boiled potatoes. The dish is often served in a communal setting, with each person taking a small portion of the dish and passing it around the table. This practice is known as "tilasiirtoa," and it is an important part of Finnish social customs.
