As a Finn I find it to be a fucking disgrace. Then again, considering it’s the guy who during the presidential campaign prioritized connections with American CEOs over diplomats, I am unsurprised.

Ramen soup. Just dump into a bowl noodles, spices, soy sauce, boiled egg, butter, onion, and some veggies. It’s so good you’ll forget it’s instant ramen.

Bean soup. Sauté onions with spices, then add garlic and fresh tomatoes. Add a can of tomato passata, beans and some corn. Let simmer for a moment. Season with chicken/beef broth, pepper and unflavored yogurt, fresh basil if feeling fancy.

Cockroach milk is sourced from the Pacific Beetle cockroach, a type of roach that gives birth to live offspring and produces ‘milk’, which it feeds its embryos through a ‘brood sac’ (essentially a cockroach womb). There is, in fact, no actual ‘milking’ involved: scientists need to carve out the cockroach’s gut in order to access the milk, which is in the form of crystals.
