 | | As Finland was until 1809 part of the Swedish Realm, Sweden and Finland share many cultural traditions, including that of the yellow pea soup ( Swedish ärtsoppa ; Finnish hernekeitto), usually eaten on Thursdays, served with pork and mustard and accompanied by pancakes for dessert. |
 | | The tradition of eating pea soup and pancakes on Thursdays is said to originate in the pre- Reformation era, as preparation for fasting on Friday. |
 | | In Finland, pea soup ( hernekeitto) is a very common food, and as already mentioned traditionally eaten on Thursdays accompanied by pancakes. |
