I'm currently hunting for Poppy Cannon's legendary 1950s The Can Opener Cookbook. Would love to have that ;) I’m impressed by your Finnish!

When I was last back in 2001 to visit minun perhe (oh this is too fun!), I was pretty good with "ruoka" however! Fascinating topic, the industrialization of food. I have a piece, somewhere (which when I find it again I'll foward) talks about cake mixes, especially, and how the boxes were changed to force cooks to add eggs and oil only because then the cook felt she'd cooked something homemade. Because my Mom wrote a food column starting in 1959, even as a home economist/nutritionist, her favorites were full of cake mixes and canned soups. I suspect the same thing is going on now with the industrialization of organic and whole foods.

We are very aware of the language issue and will try to come up with a bilingual solution soon. BTW, I visited your site and immediately got excited about your jello salad. Laura Shapiro's "Something from the Oven" is on my nightstand right now. It tells the story how the food industry coaxed American housewives in 1950s to create a peacetime market for field rations and other wartime foods. Thousands of recipes that used jello, luncheon meats, cake mixes, and other heavily processed foods were promoted in the media. I do not think Finns ever got the full assault of this, so jello salad remains a pretty foreign concept... But when I visit Helsinki in a few week's time I'll leaf though my recipe file and post a recipe for an Italian jello salad which I truly love. Hi Alanna

Mostly I can read the comments -- though responding would be impossible. I'll just have to look at the pictures (kuvat?) Nakemiin -- Ai niin - I so wish my long-ago Finnish could let me enjoy your site! Mostly I can read the comments — though responding would be impossible.

Jotenkin en ole yllättynyt - venäläistä rulettia hellalla. Seuraavan kerran kun siellä räjähtää kerrostalo "kaasuvuodon" vuoksi tiedänkin sitten mistä on oikeasti kyse ;) Pieni maailma!

He käyttävät syntynyttä tahmaa muun muassa kinuskikakun täytteenä ja kuorrutteena. Venäläiset muuten harrastavat samaa extreme-kokkausta säilykemaitotölkeillä.
