tukkakeitto

Tukkakeitto is a term that appears mainly in Finnish-language online discourse as a humorous, fictional dish rather than a traditional recipe. The compound word combines tukka meaning hair and keitto meaning soup, suggesting an absurd or impossible food concept. The phrase is not recognized by Finnish culinary institutions and has no canonical preparation.

In online culture, tukkakeitto is used as a meme to illustrate surreal or grotesque food ideas, often appearing in mock recipes or joke threads. When referenced, it typically emphasizes its absurdity rather than providing a real cooking method. Any described ingredients are fictional and vary by joke; common tropes involve unrelated or nonsensical elements, but such descriptions are intended as humor rather than guidance. Some discussions present it as a parody of sensationalist food narratives.

Because reliable references are scarce, there is limited scholarly or culinary documentation. The term remains a niche meme rather than a mainstream concept in Finnish gastronomy. It may appear in humor anthologies or blogs that collect internet jokes about cooking.
