We Asked Non-Finns React To Photos Of Finnish Stuff And Now They're All Jealous

“You win, Finland.”

I sent 12 uncaptioned photographs of Finland (and other Finnish stuff) to BuzzFeed's New York, Berlin, Paris, and London offices and asked them to write down what they saw. This is what they said:

Mämmi, a traditional Easter dessert made with dark molasses and malted rye

Maggy (London): "It looks like someone tore a liver out of a poor, innocent cow and covered it in milk."

Laura (London): "Hands off our Christmas pudding and brandy sauce."

Lauren (NY): "It looks like a slightly gelatinous brownie drowning in milk? I dig it."

Jim (London): "A heart attack on a plate."

Juliane (Berlin): "Mousse au chocolat, but I bet there's blood in there."

Mignon eggs, almond-hazelnut nougat filled eggs that are eaten at Easter

Tom (London): "An enormous mini egg. Which... which would make it just an egg, I guess?"

Sarah (NY): "Egg inside an egg? Like Russian nesting dolls, but real eggs?"

Jamie (London): "A reverse Kinder Surprise."

Matt (London): "Nature just delivered what we all wanted: real chocolate eggs."

Robin (London): "OH SHIT YOU HAVE ACTUAL CHOCOLATE EGGS?! *books flight to Helsinki*"

The Northern Lights

Ailbhe (London): "This is so pretty it looks like a desktop background! So magical."

Flo (London): "This is where Santa Claus lives, quite clearly."

Lauren (NY): "This is so magical, I still can't believe people get to experience this on the reg."

Tom (London): "Clearly Photoshopped."

Sarah (NY): "Is this... the Northern Lights? Or chem-trails?"
