Finnish Campground Lunch

We were only a short distance into Finland and out in the woods when it was time for lunch.  We had not passed much in the way of civilization, so I was curious about lunch.  We stopped at a campground and a wonderful couple made us some lunch.  This couple were the proprietors of the campground.  You can see some of the small cabins in the campground in the first photo.  There was also still snow on the ground.

You can see Vicky giving the wife a hug in her kitchen in the second photo.  It was a simple, hands-on operation.  We didn’t see any other customers.

The third photo is part of the food line.  The fish was white fish that the husband had caught and smoked.  The breads were fresh baked, the salads were fresh and very good, and there was cheese and yogurt to add to the dishes.

My plate is in the fourth photo.  The meatballs are reindeer meatballs.  They were tasty and actually very much like beef.

The last photo is right behind the building where we ate lunch.  This lake is part of their campground.  They had other facilities as well.
