Originally posted by Lews Ugh, I just do not get salmiakki. We've got loads of the stuff in our flat, my partner's mother insists on bringing it and schnapps every time she visits us. An extremely kind gesture, to be sure; very touching... but it's just piling up now, as I don't seem to have the taste for it and it isn't really a big hit when we have people over for dinner

The only person outside Scandinavia I know who likes the stuff happens to me my brother. But then, he also likes drinking cold water with Halls cough drops, so I suspect he has no palate whatsoever

Originally posted by JEO All True Finns are most certainly cocks. A relationship of some sort between True Finns and Finnish politics exists, yes. In fact, I hear there is a True Finn running for municipal council in Vaasa, and that must constitute as politics. He is even such a True Finn, that he grew a Hitler mustache to appear more True. I wouldn't be surprised if we see him in parliament in under ten years. He's just got that something about him that all rural Finns can see in themselves. To me this almost makes him the Truest True Finn of them all.

Huhauhauha, I really wanted him to be Brazilian as it would be the perfect explanation for this potential prank but, apparently, João Bruno is originally from Angola. I guess we must share the same sense of humour with them or something.

Still, he'll always be the most Finnish (and the most Brazilian) person ever in my heart

Originally posted by JEO This is again a very entertaining time in Finland, only second to the upcoming parliamentary election in 2019. We still watch interviews from the last election to pass time at work sometimes. When I was a kid and learned that theoretically anyone can run for the parliament, I never went back to my normal self. I have since remembered to make sure any new people I get to know are not the type that would some day be running for parliament.

Originally posted by JEO What comes to salmiakki, my girlfriend basically moved here firstly for salmiakki, and only secondly me, so Timo's strategy might not be working as well as he thought. There's a huge fanbase for salmiakki in Denmark, but for some reason the Swedes don't like it. That is why we don't like the Swedes. My girlfriend's family visits Malmö from Copenhagen at least once a month to bring home a ton of salmiakki. I put little pieces of salmiakki in my quark very often, and have a wooden chest filled with this black gold at home.

So Swedes are surrounded by salmiakki, which they hate?

Now there's a genius defence strategy against a possible Swedish invasion

Originally posted by JEO Darude's Sandstorm is very Truly Finnish, and I am humbled that you know its origins. Here's more from the musically talented in Finland: Kiitos, ja torilla tavataan!

Dammit, I can't take it out of my head now

Originally posted by Mr.Mystery Well, basically it goes like this: - Sandstorm is awesome. - True Finns are inbred hicks, who don't like anyone who aren't exactly like them. They especially don't like foreigners who come and take their jerbs, even though they're unemployed alcoholics. The proper translation for True Finns is actually Basic Finns, which I find far more descriptive. - Refugees would probably think salmiakki is some kind of twisted torture method... which means Soini probably would give it to them. Yes.

I also found this post enlightening. I feel we all understand Finland now.
