Christmas Table of the Future: Lanttus Salsa, Gravied Carrot & Fusion Foods

Here’s a summary of the ⁢article, focusing on the restaurant’s Christmas lunch plans:

* Traditional Menu: The restaurant is sticking with a traditional Christmas menu ⁢for the next two weeks in December,⁢ offering ham, fish, and “boxes” (likely referring to a traditional Finnish ​Christmas casserole/dish). They’ve been serving the same⁢ dishes for ⁤years, ‌as customers enjoy ⁢the classics.
* Demand is High: There⁣ are enough ​diners and customers specifically request these traditional dishes, often returning for‍ multiple servings.
* Boxes are laborious: The restaurant acknowledges that making ⁣the “boxes” from scratch is time-consuming (boiling, mashing, mixing, baking) and yields a relatively small‍ portion. They anticipate an ⁤increase in purchasing pre-made⁢ boxes.
* future Trends: The owner, niko Rajaniemi,‌ believes Christmas tables will increasingly incorporate fusion cuisine and flavors from around the world.
