📖 The Story Behind This Dish

In Finland, 'everyman's right' lets anyone pick berries in the forest, and in summer many people go blueberry picking. Mustikkapiirakka is a pie made with plenty of freshly picked wild blueberries, baked with a sour cream and egg filling. It's the classic summer cottage snack.

🌆 Where it's eaten: At a summer cottage, a family back from the forest bakes a pie with a bucketful of blueberries and enjoys it with coffee on a terrace overlooking the lake.
