Thanks for the contibution to this blog by ANA & co (LEM 237),who spent a DXpedition in Lemmenjoki LEM QTH, Lapland and had some nice meals up there:
Maybe "Typical" gentelem´s dish at a Lappland DXpedition?
Maybe "Typical" gentelem´s dish at a Lappland DXpedition?
"Foie Gras" Goose liver , a salad & Sauternes Wine Chateau Guiraud.
The "foie gras" (Goose liver) is maybe not the most "ecological" and ethically nice dish as at least up to recent times the production of Goose liver was done a bit "unethical way" - To fatten the liver of waterfowl, a tube is often inserted into their throats twice a day and partially cooked corn is pumped down the esophagus. How about having this dish up north. Actually it has been in the lists of restaurants in Northern Finland even in 1600 ... 1700s , and indeed with Sauternes wineslike the guys did at the Lem DXpedition. I have seen documents how this kind of dishes were served at Oulu / (famous town of NA-dxers of Finland) already in 1700´s together with Sauterneswine (maybe not Chateu Guiraud) during big celebrations.
A sweet Sauternes wine is quite good with the Foie Gras, although some peopleprefer Port or even Champagne.
Thanks for the contribution ANA! 73tk
