Favour from the 'Finnish'

[gib]

Just a lurker on here (got a bitsa 20VT in a Ur but no S2).

Need some help in purchasing a couple of bits from Finland and most of the other forums i frequent are Uk based and this seems to be the most global.

Any how please PM for futher detials

I have to be nosey and ask what you're after from Finland mate? Is it car parts or reindeer and tar schnapps? My wife's family live in Finland so if there's any way I can help let me know. They know buggr all about cars though

What's a frizbie bread?

[s2driveruk]

its not the correct name.....its a dark rye bread which looks like a frizbie.

[Nj]

you get it in big frizbies or small packets of frizbies. I have some in the freezer actually. the missus loves it. Next time i'm over i'll bring some back and special delivery it down to you matey

Top man Noel, used to pick it up from the airport on the way home in the bags of small ones

[s2driveruk]

The biscuit size frizbies are Väinämöisen Palttoonnappeja.

Bigger ones are just dried rye bread, seasoned with caraway seeds. Normally called Varrasleipä.

It's salmiakKi, dooders. And in it's noblest form it's liquid, and mixed 50/50 with pure spirit.

Norwegians may ask Jonus, if he remembers how it was....

Salmiakki sounds interesting - vodka and liquorice - I'll have a pint please

[Ski]

can u get a bottle of that stuff over here by any chance?

[Nj]

i'll see what I can bring back next time i'm over and we'll organise a meet.
Please note that i'll be handing out disclaimer forms in advance. It's liquid evil! I spent a fortune sending a bottle safely back to my brother one xmas and on xmas morning I got a call that started "jesus christ you little b*stard! What the f*ck was that sh*te you sent me? I've just spat it across the carpet"
It's what Jesus would have wanted i'm sure. Gold, frankincense and a potent alcohol based on salty liquorice. [shudder]
Bring on the shredded reindeer, mashed potatoes and lingonberry jam. oh yeah!!

Anteeksi for my bad spelling repo

I am coming to Birmingham in early January. Can bring some for You all, I mean the salmiakki syrup, without alcohol. All You need is to add one to one 80% vodka.

Pint of salmiakkivodka? Ok, add 112 to speed dial, before first sip...
