Here in Finland, there is probably 5% variation in offerings across the entire population, with people having a far narrower concept of what Christmas food should be.
It is a bit narrow, maybe it's because historically we didn't have much variety in domestic food. Mushroom salad is something I've added for few years now. @rrusina is going to make a cheesecake, so that'll bring some nice variety :)
The food is generally baked ham, fish dishes and casseroles, with all of the different casseroles (potato, sweet potato, carrot, beetroot, liver...) all tasting identical.
Lol. Sweet potato is the best. Potato is good. Turnip is fine, as long as it's Saarioinen's. Carrot I can't stand. Liver is also excellent, as long as it's again, Saarioinen's – all other brands are gross.
8 kilo ham is nice :D We have a 4 kilo one, although there's only two of us eating it + my mom for a day. I will most likely eat at least half of it.
A bit of variety is the spice of life. I like the pickled mushrooms though - they are awesome.
I thought you'd have a ham just for you and cook a smaller one for everyone else.
Hyvää Joulua!
