Is this Eesti food? Finnish Estonia 🇪🇪 theme lunch in school.

  1. That’s a bit of a weird combination and not the most common type of bread, but individually all the things are found and fine.

    The egg should be an omelette or sliced on the bread.

    Potato should be peeled and quartered.

    Cranberry jam is served with sauerkraut, not what looks like fresh grated cabbage?

  2. I mean, close enough. We would probably have regular rye bread instead of crispbread and lingonberry jam goes better with christmas food. Although if that’s liver sauce then 10/10, you’re making me miss school lunches.

  3. Looks exacty like an Estonian school lunch from 15 years ago.

    Is it not “estonian cuisine”…just inexpensive food, most bang for very little bucks that the low school food budget allows. But yes, it’s something also many people eat at home, especially poor people.

    Cracker bread is uncommon and definitely not “Estonian”.

    I am surprised this is what people in Finland think as “estonian cuisine” for a theme.

  4. milk = accurate
    shredded cabbage is the only fresh vegetable = accurate
    pork in some brown sauce = accurate
    potato = boiled is accurate, but always peeled
    näkkileipä instead of a slice of peenleib (ruislimppu) = inaccurate
    lingonberry jam = only ever eaten at christmas dinner or at ikea
    a random boiled egg = only if you stole it while the lunch lady wasn’t looking

    (source: 80s/90s estonian school lunches, not sure if things have improved)

  5. Quite accurate, just that jam isn’t served with such food, cabbage seems to be too fine (should be longer strips) and instead of the snack bread we have white, black or rye bread (this could be more common in finland though, not that knowledged about that)

  6. This is very Finnish looking. Cartoon in the background is in Finnish too so they probably aimed for it to be Finnish?

  7. Wtf is that monstrosity. I don’t even remember school lunch looking that sad in mid 90s. I guess milk is correct 😀

  8. Sanoisin, että suomalaista tai virolaista. Molemmat. Näkkileipä voi olla enempi suomalaista, mutta kyllä sitä Virossakin syödään. Toisaalta näkkileipä ja tarjotinpaperi sekä Hackmanin veitsi yhdessä paljastavat kyseessä olevan suomalainen koululounas.

    Ütleksin, et see võib olla nii soome kui eesti toitu. Näkileib võib olla rohkem Soomes söödav, aga seda süüakse ka Eestis. Samas näkileib, kandiku kaitsepaber ja Hackmani nuga koos aga paljastab, et küsimuses on Soome koolilõunas.

    Amerikkaa ei puhu/Ameerika keeles ei räägi.

  9. Kind of in a late 90-s sort of a way? Also a bit over themed?

    Like “let’s have an Italian style lunch” and having pizza with pasta.

  10. The crackerbread is standart issue in Estonian army – ate tons of it during my enlistment from NATO food packages, slowed down the digestion and the sheldom droppings were suitable for as building material/bricks.
