Why the Finns eat pea soup and pancakes on Thursdays.
Among the most popular dishes in Finland are: Meat Balls, Hot Sandwiches, Steaks, Macaroni Casserole, Beef or Pork Roast, Minced Meat in Sauce, Burgers, Fried Fish, Baked Fish, Meat Loaf, and various soups. One of the most traditional and common Finnish soups is pea soup made of green peas.
Pea soup (hernekeitto) is a very common food In Finland. It is traditionally eaten on Thursdays and accompanied by pancakes. During World War II the Finnish army was fed with pea soup. Finnish Defence Forces and for example many school restaurants still have the tradition of serving pea soup with pancakes for dessert for lunch every Thursday. Pea soup is also often served to large crowds in gatherings because it is easy to make in large amounts and most people like it.
Finns learn to eat pea soup as children. It is a popular school food because it is very cheap, healthy, and easy to prepare. Pork or carrots are often added to pea soup. Some people also like to add some mustard.

You're on the right track! Is that product racist?
They originated in Spain. So you have no claim to fame.
I thought the Finns only held out for three months against the RussiansIt kept the Finnish army going through WW2.
They still eat it to this day. Cooking up huge vats of it in the forest.
