Thread 214707617

In Finland, all the way to 1930s, people had to eat bark bread to survive.

Basically, when harvest was not good, you fell a tree, a pine tree, and removed the inner bark of it that was eatable and had nutrition. You smashed it and tried to power it the best you could and you mixed it with flour.

This is how our forefather survived in the Nordic climate, when rye, barley etc. harvest wasnt good enough.

So Finns ate trees to survive! Aint this freaking crazy?

the highlight of my week <3

Interesting Finland is it similar to what Haitians do with mud cookies

>>214707660
I think mud cookies are just something you eat to fill you up and you shit everything out? With the inner bark, while its not healthy long term (I think it has a lot of heavy metals), it is food

>>214707688
mud cookies usually include shortening/fat

always making fun of us...Fennoswedes in Ostrobothnia had a coast and never had to such thing..

>>214707688
I see thank you Finland

>>214707617 (OP)
How do you fell a tree when you're hungry at the level you're ready to eat a bark? People in such condition must look like an Auschwitz prisoner

>>214707723
>DAM NIGGA

>>214707721
but the mud itself wont provide anything like bark does
cant replace food with it

>>214707617 (OP)
>eatable

edible

>>214707750
Apparently it was originally eaten by pregnant mothers for mineral contents, but it later became poverty food to just fill you up

>>214707762
either is correct

>>214707617 (OP)
Here people used to cut flower with ground beechnuts, but I didn't know it was possible with pine bark. Learned something new itt.

>>214707739
>oh shit pekka we are running out of food we only have this and this amount of grains
>oh shit well we better chop down these small pine trees and remove the NILA during late spring since its full of nutrition during that time and its easy to remove
>now we survive until the next harvest...I think
>yeah!

>>214707795
*flour

apparently its not even bad with 10%
so you can easily save months worth of grain!

Common throughout the Nordics I think. It's the kind of stuff that drove emigration to the US.

>>214707790
No one says "eatable".

>>214708135

>>214708169
Listen Hans ich lerne Deutsch and you can correct me there whenever you want but saying "eatable" sounds stupid.

>>214708242

>>214707731
>Fennoswedes in Ostrobothnia had a coast
So while little Pekka was eating literal trees, Odin's chosen people were comfortably eating salmon? And now those same chosen people make cheerful songs about famine in Suomi?

>>214708250
Fine but you better treat me with the same attitude when I'm speaking your language.

>>214708348

>>214708347

Couldnt people eat forest berries or any wildlife they can catch in the forest?

>>214710959
Our forest reindeer and moose were nearly extinct back then, american white-tailed deer were introduced as alternative game animals in 1930-1940. Mushrooms and berries were probably scavenged too.
