"Unless you're at a North Finland carnival." They had them too in the cities. Aarne had been to a few as a teen once they moved into a city. "The Danes use mead sugar too."
Which, now that Aarne considered it, might explain Rik's consumption of sugar. White sugar just didn't hold up to the sweetness of the honey based sugar.
Once the tippaleipä was plated he handed that over to the twins to share and instructed that strawberries, apples or nuts were a personal preference and they could do that part. All the premade tippaleipä had been eaten so Aarne set about making a few more to leave if someone wanted one while he was away.
"Sima is a type of mead. This is a bastardized, quick and dirty way of making Sima from full strength mead."
Aarne refilled his wooden cup with the full strength mead and watche Minoru's reaction. "If you don't like it, I can make you a Mule. The Danes drink them but I'll make it weaker than how they drink it."
