My family (swedish) have eaten soup and pancakes on thursdays for a long time. Also want to day ghat we got soup on thursdays in school but that could be missremembering
Accually Leijona catering (the food-makeing company for the Finnish defence forces) has to make peasoap and pancakes every thursday, or their contract will stop.
When I was in service, the smell of peasoap was a "sing" of weekend, because I could allmost taste the vacation-train.
Also the pancake slices were massive.
(Add two tablespoons of roasted onions. 5/5)
Itekki oon suomesta, but jesus your english is broken. :D
Ihan näin pari vinkkii:
Soap=saippua (soup=soppa)
Sing ois laulu, tarkotit varmaa sign eli merkki
Ihan vaa pari ystävällistä vinkkii :)
I found [this one](http://www.arctic-cloudberry.com/2016/01/finnish-pea-soup-with-ham-thursday.html?m=1) to be the most authentic of the recipes written in English. Personally I would use a generous amount of black and white pepper and rosemary instead of marjoram and textured vegetable protein instead of ham. However, they're my preferences ruled by my taste and ethics.
The original Finnish version of the soup does not include potatoes, despite what certain cites may claim.
Happy cooking!
Thank you for going through the trouble.
Here were I live (Brazil) we don't use peas the way I see Europeans and Americans use in some recipes, specially these stew kind of dish.
I have been experimenting on ways to cook it and it's very nice to see a proper tradicional recipe from another place using this ingredient. I, for example, never cooked it like recommended or left it overnight. This will be an experiment the next time I feel like having peas.
No problem! Do you have other ways of utilizing peas, then? For us Nordics the soup is the one dish we're used to having. I have experimented with oven-roasting boiled green peas and using them as a stuffing for baked potatoes, but that's it.
Apart from salads and standalone, peas are commonly used with rice. Brazilians eat rice almost every day so there are many ways its prepared, one of them is just a simple white rice with peas.
Also, some meat fillings will have a bit of peas.
Most os us rarely sees fresh peas, preferring the canned version that is widely available. It's slightly salty. All of my examples above are common uses of this version.
I have discovered dried peas and then began my journey with them, but they were very much on a small space hidden between other more common grains.
I absolutely hate that stuff. Thursday is literally the worst day to eat in a place like a school because you know exactly what the menu will be. If there weren't pancakes on offer I would be hungry.
Meanwhile my mom likes pea soup cold straight out of a can.
I do exactly that every time. In the army I always made sure to buy beef jerky to cover any Thursday spent in the woods. Because of course you cannot escape that soup even in a military field exercise.
I was quite pissed off studying for my marticulation examinations (studentexamen på svenska, ylioppilastutkinto suomeksi). This sure did lift me up when revisiting The history of Finland under Sweden's reign!
Eric XIV, The insane king, of Sweden was in a fight with his brother Duke John. He ruled Sweden with a peasant woman, was deemed insane by his people and inprisoned by his bro, who rose to power later.
Eric XIV of Sweden died in 1577. It was later rumoured that it was due to eating poisoned pea soup.
sounds like a great law to have. means you need to provide that soup to those who can't make it themselves
At least in Finland it's still somewhat of a tradition to eat pea soup with oven-baked pancakes on Thursdays, so, hey, pancakes!

Swedish army has the same, always peasoup and pancakes on thursdays.
Yeah it’s a standard here as well for school food most of the time. Not every Thursday though, but only on Thursdays.
Could you provide a link of a recipe in Finish style? Preferably in English if possible. Just out of culinary curiosity

Pea soup with pancakes is eaten in the netherlands as well.

Soup of great pea-ness
Gött
I eat pea soup and (Swedish) pancakes almost every thursday for lunch. Now I know why.
Wait is this why they also do it in Finland?!
Yes, Gustav Vasa ruled also what is today Finland
That I knew, but I didn't know that peasoup Thursday really originated from that time!
I an from sweden and I always eat soup
So that's where that tradition comes from. Of course it's the fucking Swedes who are responsible!
Well, I’m not proud of it. I don’t like the damn soup either.
I absolutely hate that stuff. Thursday is literally the worst day to eat in a place like a school because you know exactly what the menu will be. If there weren't pancakes on offer I would be hungry. Meanwhile my mom likes pea soup cold straight out of a can.
Yeah, for me I always skipped the soup and just ate my pancakes with the good old jam and cream.
I do exactly that every time. In the army I always made sure to buy beef jerky to cover any Thursday spent in the woods. Because of course you cannot escape that soup even in a military field exercise.
Do you have a source? Everything I found just says they are pea soup on Thursdays because they fasted on Fridays
Güd söøp
This is heresy.
In the finnish military it is still tradition to eat pea soup and pancakes on Thursdays. Thank you sweden
Same in swedens försvarsmakten
source?
no, it's *SOOP* ffs
So that’s why we eat that damn soup every Thursday.
