Frequently asked questions about Finland and Finnish Food

Do Finns drink milk with food?

Yes, many of us do. In Finland, we drink milk and piimä (kefir/ sour milk) often with lunch or dinner. It's not only for kids. Even McDonalds has milk as a drink option.

Do Finns drink beer in sauna?

Yes, many of us do. It's not mandatory 😅 and many drink also other drinks like cider, lonkero, soft drinks or even water. We stay in sauna quite a long time so something to drink is a good idea.

Do Finns drink a lot?

Coffee? Yes, Finns drink the most coffee in the whole world, about 26 lb/ 12 kg a year per person.

Alcohol? About the same amount as coffee, measured in pure alcohol weight (stats) It's a lot, since Finns don't drink usually wine on dinner.

Is Kalsarikännit real thing in Finland?

Yes, we do kalsarikännit in Finland. It means getting drunk alone at home with your underwear on. Probably on a sofa, watching something from TV. It's a relaxing thing, no need to socialize or even get dressed. Notice that Finnish homes are well heated, so we don't get cold.

Were there Vikings in Finland?

No, vikings were from our Nordic neighbours, Norway, Sweden and Denmark. We Finns are more peaceful. Or just different. Perkele!

Do Finns really put babies to sleep outside in the winter?

Yes. Most of us Finns have slept our baby naps outside also during winter. It's not about cold (babies have warm clothes) but the purest air in the world that makes babies sleep so well.
