    It wasn’t meant to change your opinions but to show that “Finnish cuisine” as a thing does exist.

      No.

      An article about Finnish cuisine exists. Because as a concept, we can talk about it.

      But in the sense of there being restaurants for it, like Italian, Mexican, Greek, Indian, Chinese, etc cuisines, I would bet quite a lot that you can’t find one single restaurant dedicated to “Finnish cuisine” outside of Finland.

        That’s what I was saying, the concept exists even if it’s not popular or good enough to warrant existing in your opinion.

          The concept of say unicorns having sex existing doesn’t mean there are any unicorns anywhere having sex.

          There are no Finnish restaurants.

          In that sense, there is no “Finnish cuisine”.

            It’s just that that’s not how cuisine is usually understood. But like I said, I wasn’t trying to change your opinion, just noted that as usually defined it does exist.

              It definitely is, though.

              You’re just refusing to use the colloquially definition, because you’re Finnish and Finnish dishes technically exist.
