Well, here is a story I found about mämmi
(http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/A908912)
Just after the Second World War a foreign relief worker was checking how
Finns were getting along for food and so on. During Easter this foreigner
ended up staying with a family on a small farm in the middle of nowhere
('the middle of nowhere' being a very common place in Finland during those
days). The family had just finished the main course of their Easter meal,
and there was only mämmi left on the table when the relief worker stepped
in. He took a look around, saw the mämmi and rushed to his car and told
the driver to drive to the nearest city as soon as possible. There he went
straight to the telegraph office and send the following message to his
headquarters.
Immediate food aid needed, people up here are eating something
that has all ready been eaten once!
The link also contains a recipe, and from the ingredients, mämmi seems
safe. I will try it.
I'm also willing to be forced eating mustamakkara. We have these kind of
black sausage in France. They are delicious.
