I had gooseberry wine with fish in Finland, I didn’t realise I was in a way connecting with the Middle Ages how lovely!!

It was a restaurant in Helsinki that only uses ingredients grown outside in Finland (pickled and jammed and wined too ofc) I think you might love it if you ever go :))

I am not the biggest fan of currants but I might give them a second chance

I have been GRIEVING our lack of currants and (specifically) black currants. Hate that they're so hard to come by at all in the US, let alone locally-grown ones! Now you're making me think I need to start a blackcurrant revolution in Virginia....
