In sympathy for our flood situation, my sister baked and posted us a big batch of her fantastic raisin & oatmeal cookies.

Dan, a white man with a goatee beard and blue hair, sits next to a large box of cookies, about to eat one.

I've eaten like six of them already. Turns out I stress-eat. Who knew?

Second "surprising Finnish confectionary" is Vihreät Kuulat Jaffa Cakes. I ran vihreät kuulat through a translation tool and apparently it means "green balls", which doesn't tell me much.

Knowing it was neither lime nor apple (which were also available in the supermarket I visited) I had to try them, but I couldn't place the flavour. They were tasty, though. We finished eating them before I looked it up.

A box of Vihreät Kuulat Jaffa Cakes. The cross-section cutaway shows a green jelly within the biscuit, and alongside are pictures of spherical green jellies.

Turns out it's pear flavour, which apparently I have a blind spot for (back in 2013 at an "eat mystery food in the dark" restaurant I failed to identify that I was eating poached pears for dessert).

Now I need to be on the lookout for actual green balls.
