Come to me again in the cold cold night

I celebrated both the World Vegetarian day (by eating chanterelle risotto) and the International Coffee day (by drinking a cup of cappuccino) with my colleagues on our lunch in the Klubi. There are interesting paintings, but I couldn't find out whose art works they are.


It may come as a surprise to you to find the country that consumes the most amount of coffee per year (per capita) isn’t America, France or even Italy, but Finland! The Finnish are passionate about coffee and for each person that there is in Finland, an impressive 12kg of coffee is consumed each year – that’s over twice the average of most other European countries! Therefore, it goes without saying that coffee is a big deal in Finland, so much so that it serving coffee is considered one of the most important acts of hospitality and not serving coffee to a guest is taken as an insult. So where did this love of coffee come from? And how do the Finnish drink their coffee?
