Estonia

Christmas food

Already some time ago, but I noticed that it would fit on the blog. A friend from Estonia, Raili, took this photo for me (we told each other to take a photo of our Christmas food :D). So, this is a Christmas food from an Estonian family. My friend loved it.

Estonian potato salad

I'm really in love with this country, it's such a nice country and has a beautiful language and many other things. I made the potato salad, because I wanted to make something Estonian. It took pretty much time, because it was the first time I made such a salad. But it tasted very good and interesting.
