A deep-fried wheat pastry stuffed with minced meat and rice, dressed at the kiosk with mustard, ketchup and sometimes a sausage and fried egg. Finland's classic late-night fuel.
The lihapiirakka, a fried dough pocket of minced meat and rice, is Finnish grill-kiosk and bakery food at its most beloved. Eromanga near Kasarmitori has fried it to a secret recipe since 1946, and the loaded version with sausage and egg, the vesisemmu, is a Helsinki institution for late nights and quick lunches alike.
