The gastronomy of these countries have never been a main reason visiting, due to the severe weather in these latitude, there is no big variety of vegetables, fruits & many kind of fishes that we can find in other warmer areas. So that, almost all dishes are made basically combining meat and potatoes, in a wide variety, & with a perpetual garnice of peas, cucumber & tomatoes. For lovers of sausages & cheeses, there is a wide variety of the smoked & extra-smoked products which is typical of these countries.
From the whole menu, main interest is in the soups (cold or hot), which are very consistent & condimented, well apreciated by the foreigner. Better not to talk about the desserts.
