    YOUR O.A.T. ADVENTURE TRAVEL PLANNING GUIDE® New! Under the Midnight Sun: Sami Lapland, Norway & the Arctic Circle 2021 Small Groups: 8-16 travelers—guaranteed! (average of 13) Overseas Adventure Travel ® The Leader in Personalized Small Group Adventures on the Road Less Traveled 1 Dear Traveler, At last, the world is opening up again for curious travel lovers like you and me. And the O.A.T. New! Under the Midnight Sun: Sami Lapland, Norway & the Arctic Circle itinerary you’ve expressed interest in will be a wonderful way to resume the discoveries that bring us so much joy. You might soon be enjoying standout moments like these: There was something intangibly magical about Lapland. Maybe it was the midnight sun, the endless rugged tundra, or the welcoming nature of the Sami people. All I know is that there was a true sense of Arctic magic everywhere I went, especially when I met an indigenous Sami family on their reindeer farm. As we explored the farm, they introduced me to their way of life and traditions dating back thousands of years. I was saddened to hear that their ancient culture is under threat from two forces: the construction of an Arctic Railway through Sami territory and Sami youth deviating from their traditional lifestyle. You’ll hear about these challenges as well when you meet with a Sami family on their reindeer farm. In the regions I travel to around the world, the stories of the people who live and work there are the most distinct and poignant experiences. You’ll meet with a local educator in Oslo to hear about July 22, 2011—the harrowing terrorist attack on this city—and their personal account of this day.

  • Chapter-1 International Cuisine
    CHAPTER-1 INTERNATIONAL CUISINE: THE COOKING OF GREAT BRITAIN Historical Background Unlike the French, the British have no Grande cuisine or customs of elegant restaurant eating. Almost everyone royalty and commoner ate the same food, however fancy or plain. The royal kitchens merely drew on a wider variety of foodstuffs and in greater quantities. Britain was a worldwide trader since the 16 th century and could afford to import the best the world had to offer from tea, coffee and rice to exotic spices and fruits and all these found their way into home cooking. The British Breakfast The British consider it their finest meal. A truly traditional British breakfast would include Baps (a soft round roll) or some other traditional bread with preserves, bacon, sausage, tomatoes, mushrooms, eggs - boiled, fried or scrambled, ham kedgeree, stewed prunes, sautéed kidneys, smoked haddock or kippers, cereals with milk and of course tea. The English breakfast owes, in particular much to the Scots. They eat an even more substantial breakfast that the English and the Welsh or the Irish. They consume vast quantities of porridge and considerable amount of bread usually in the form of a breakfast roll called a ‘Bap” and drink large quantities of tea sometimes laced with whisky. Aberdeen was the birthplace of the breakfast sausage, while Dundee is the home of marmalade without which no breakfast is completed. Bacon is in original entirely English. Ham, which also often figures on the breakfast table, is the cured hind leg of the pig. Only the English cured the pig, usually by salting, while the rest of Europe ate it fresh.

Where exactly does this food come from? How did it spread from the transborder Karelia region to become a stereotypical ‹Finnish› food? How are Karelian pies tied into to intergenerational transmission within Finnish families? Th is paper pre- sents interviews and discussions with Finnish women which demonstrate Karelian pies as Finnish familial inheritance. Th e paper also presents the results of research with North Karelian Finnish teens which indicates that they strongly associate the term ‹Karelia› with Karelian pies. Th is indi- cates the triumph of food as banal nationalism and the centrality of perceived regional food speci- alities in shaping local and familial Finnish identities. Th e paper examines the offi cial and unoffi - AREA STUDIES / ИСТОРИЧЕСКОЕ РЕГИОНОВЕДЕНИЕ / ИСТОРИЧЕСКОЕ AREA STUDIES cial status and symbolism of this Karelian/Finnish foodstuff and how and why this previously lo- cal food was spread throughout Finland and beyond, becoming a staple part of Finnish national cuisine and hence national and cultural identity. Key words: North Karelia, Cross-border Karelia, historical memory, Karelian pies, banal national- ism, a Finnish identity Introduction: Finnish food between East and West Finnish cuisine is usually seen as being comprised of hearty and simple fare based on fresh, season- ally available produce.

But now food, as Hanni Rützler proclaims here, has seized the mechanism for self-presentation. Food, the way we obtain our nourishment, what and when we eat, where we eat and with whom we meet to eat say more about us than the clothes we wear. Food is elevated from a life-sustaining commodity to a lifestyle-defning element. It has become the expression of a brainstorming exer- cise about itself. According to the author: it has become the new pop. In the Food Report 2016, Hanni Rützler analyses how far we have already travelled on the way to identifying ourselves through our food. With infnite food, spiritual food and fast good, she de- scribes three exciting trends: 1.

    Finnish food trends in travel blogs Ann-Mari Fager Bachelor’s Degree Programme in Hotel, Restaurant and Tourism Management 2017 Abstract 21.5.2017 Author Ann-Mari Fager Degree programme Hotel, Restaurant and Tourism Management Report/thesis title Number of pages Finnish food trends in travel blogs and appendix pages 58 The aim of the study was to find out the current Finnish and global food trends in tourists’ travel blogs written about Finland. Nordic cuisine has become relevant due to its positive attributes including health, simplicity and concern for the environment. There has also been an increasing interest in Finnish food that aligns with the current global food trends. The gathered knowledge of Finnish food trends can be used by different stakeholders in the hospitality industry to understand food choices and build upon their own offerings for tourists. The food related lifestyle model was used as a framework which is used for detecting long- term trends in a cross-cultural context by studying the determinants of consumers’ value perceptions. The elements of the model are ways of shopping, cooking methods, quality aspects, consumer situations and purchasing motives. The theoretical part further de- scribes recognized current global and Finnish food trends with this model. The data for the research was gathered from blogs during a timeframe of five years, 2012- 2016. Based on the recognized trends, narrative analysis of the blogs was conducted with a qualitative method. The number of mentions of the chosen trends were counted into a quantitative form per each year to recognize trend patterns. To support the research, the concordance program AntConc was utilized to search for specific keywords and common- alities in text data.

  • Mount Everest Nepalese Cuisine Vapiano
    Restaurant Recommendations List for Fulbrighters Just as a brief foreword, if it’s your first time visiting Helsinki, it’s advised to keep in mind that the city may surprise you with how pricy or expensive certain things can be, and this is no different with the city’s dining options. Many of the places recommended on this list may seem inexpensive with just a single or double ‘€’ designation, but comparably they still may be more pricy than you’re used to at home, even for something of a similar quality or with what they have to offer – it’s all relative. Portion sizes in Europe can often be fairly smaller than those typically offered to us back in North America, and it’s good to keep this in mind as well. Other than that, I’m very glad to be able to tell you that one of the things Helsinki does best is quality, and there’s no exception with that when it comes to the city’s many restaurants. Also, as a tip, many Helsinki restaurants and establishments offer their best deals at lunchtime. Additionally, if you have allergies, please don’t be afraid of telling your server – Finns understand that these can be highly serious, and in my experience they are very good about this. This is also a great city to go out and try something new in, especially when it comes to dining! Bon appetite! – Pierce Fulbright Finland Foundation Project Assistant Intern, 2019 Ravintola Salve Hietalahdenranta 5 C, 00180, Helsinki | +358 10 7664280 | € € | https://raflaamo.fi/en/helsinki/salve/ traditional Nordic/Finnish/Scandinavian – seafood – sautéed reindeer As a personal recommendation to start off this list, when I visited Helsinki for the first time back in 2015 as an exchange student, I asked the hotel concierge for the “most Finnish restaurant in Helsinki” and said that I wanted to dine where all of the Finns would be.
