Tukkoisa
Tukkoisa is a traditional Finnish dish that has been a staple in Finnish cuisine for centuries. The name "tukkoisa" is derived from the Finnish word "tukka," which means "lump" or "clod," referring to the dough's texture. The dish is typically made from a simple dough consisting of flour, water, and sometimes a small amount of salt. The dough is kneaded and then rolled out into thin sheets, which are then cut into strips and boiled in water. Once cooked, the strips are drained and often served with various toppings such as butter, sugar, or jam. Tukkoisa is often enjoyed as a snack or a light meal and is a popular dish during the winter months when fresh produce is scarce. Its simplicity and versatility make it a beloved comfort food in Finland.
