First time I come across this wonderful post. Thanks for starting @Presunto!
Here is the market trip we had in Helsinki (Unfortunately, I didn’t take a lot of photos this time, usually I am crazy about markets).
We arrived near the Old Market Hall near the port, it was starting to rain, we had a look at most stands outdoor.
Vanha Kauppahalli - the old market hall
Karjalanpiirakka - rice pie from the Karelian region, it has a think rye crust with a filling of rice or potato and butter mixed with boiled egg. We have tried both versions, the seller recommended the potato one, I have preferred the rice one. But since they were cold, I didn’t find them very appetizing. I saw in the Bourdain’s show that the pie were like an accompaniment served with a stew in a tradition meal.
Unfortunately our short stopover didn’t allow us the time to go to the less touristic Hakaniemi Market Hall.
(I will try to find time to dig up my other market trips photos…)
