I would like to start getting some of the rest of you to start posting regional recipies from your areas. I think the cultural diversity in food makes eating so much more enjoyable. Plus I love a challenge.

Here is a fairly simple Finnish receipt:

Karelian pasties (Karjalanpiirakat)

Pastry:

3/4 cup (2 dl) water

1-1/2 tsp salt

1-1/4 cups (3 dl) rye flour

3/4 cup (2 dl) whiteflour

Filling:

Rice pudding or 1/2 portion mashed potatoes

1 egg

3/4 cup (2 dl) boiling milk and

? ?3 Tbsp melted butter for brushing the pasties

1. Prepare the filling and mix in one egg.

2. Mix together the water, salt and flour.

3. Shape the dough into a long rope the thickness of your wrist and cut into 20 equal portions. Shape the pieces into flat round cakes and form into a pile at the side of the baking table. Roll out each cake into a very thin circle. Set aside, but not on top of each other or they will stick together.

4. Fill the center of each with the rice pudding or mashed potatoes, fold over the edges and pinch tightly.

5. Bake until the filling takes a brownish color in a hot oven (575 degrees F / 300 degrees C).

They are best when served warm with munavoi (eggbutter): simply mash a few boiled eggs end mix them with soft butter.

Not true chomps... I know for a fact that New York is famous for and has some damn good Eggs Benedict and cheesecakes.
