National cuisines (recipes welcome!)

[Atthis]

Now rye bread is one the (many) Finnish cuisines that seems to be an acquired taste. It's one of those things Finns living abroad report missing the most (alongside salmiac which is just , er... ammonium chloride) but most the rest of the world seems to manage just fine without!

How could anyone not love Finnish rye bread??!! Actually I love anything that's sourdough. Yum! But I think Australian bakeries leave a lot (A LOT) to be desired compared to European ones. Poor us! That's why we all want to bake our own bread!

And what's the deal with the ammonium chloride? Is this like a Finnish equivalent of vegemite or something?

I LOVE RYE BREAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Exactly! So that's Rye lovers: 3, non-lovers: 0.
Ah, I was going to mention "sourdough starter" but you beat me to it, Nuytsia. Where on the internet can you get sourdough starters? I had no idea! Hmmm, maybe we should move ourselves over to the recipes thread...
