RE: One photo every day: Sima :: Mead (308/365)
We are going to the central square tomorrow to eat butter fried muikut ("muikku", "vendace" in English) and buy the boys some metrilaku (a meter long liquorice bar).
It's likely going to be a cold rainy day (like almost every Vappu before it) so we'll have to dress warm and bring ubrellas with us.
[Sima...] I read that even children can drink it, is it true?
Well, yes in Finland we normally do give it to children as it is not too alcoholic. It's one of those highlights of childhood. Sima isn't something kids normally get to drink, as it's usually only consumed on 1st of May. (Stores do seem to sell their own "sima" around the year, but that stuff never quite tastes authentic.)
