The main reason why Åland isn’t too fond of Finland.

First off, mämmi looks like this [link] and is a special Easter dish in Finland.

A myth goes that when Sweden and Finland were fighting over Åland (the Ålanders wanted to be part of Sweden, and weren’t satisfied with Finland offering them autonomous status) and they asked the League of Nations (It doesn't exist anymore, which is why I put King Europe in the comic instead) for help, it happened around Easter. The emissaries went to Finland for a meeting, and the Finns served them the traditional mämmi to make a good impression. When the emissaries saw what was on their plates they said, “If this is what they eat, they should at least have Åland”

The real reason was that a number of small islands are between Åland and Finland, and if you sail to Åland from Finland, you can at all times see land. That wasn’t the case with Sweden.

Oh, and Norway isn’t part of EU, which is why King Europe is bugging him.

why everyone says that mämmi tastes bad?

I think it tastes good

~Alcoholication 3 days ago Hobbyist Artist

I don't know many people who say it actually TASTES bad. It's just ugly. But so what, food's meant to taste good not look good

~Ion-Simon 3 days ago Student General Artist

Yeah

But I live in Finland and here we take mämmi with milk or cream and with sugar because it MIGHT really taste bad without it xD

~Alcoholication 2 days ago Hobbyist Artist

Hey so do I. I like just cream myself, but SOMETIMES it's good plain. Sometimes. It has to be good stuff though not the storebought stuff.

~Ion-Simon 2 days ago Student General Artist

I'm not sure because I don't use cream so much, mostly when I'm baking or something

~Alcoholication 2 days ago Hobbyist Artist

Ah see
In my family most of the cooking is done with a hefty helping of cooking cream

Even with our milk we avoid the skimmed or semi stuff.
On the flipside, whilst being raised on a high-dairy diet I was also raised on a low-salt diet. It's an odd tradeoff but it means that whilst I can't really eat spicy food, I rarely have to add salt or peppers to anything

~Ion-Simon 2 days ago Student General Artist

every family has their own food habits

~Alcoholication 2 days ago Hobbyist Artist

Well I should hope so. Otherwise they might starve
