The Finnish-American-Greek Feast

And then it was time for dinner. There was Greek salad, and home-made (by the Finn's Mother) rye bread, which they ate with margarine,
the smoked salmon of course,
and the mushrooms and steamed vegetables. Everyone had a ton of the main dishes and then it was time for dessert. For dessert, the Baker had baked her famous cinnaminnies. There was also 'bread cheese' (which squeaks in your mouth) and cloud berries (a Finnish specialty that only grow in swamps and must be harvested by hand.) These were all served with a vanilla cream sauce.
Suffice to say that after this meal, the Baker and the non-baker were both very happy and very full of delicious food. It was a perfect last meal in Finland.
