 Food
in Estonia is based on peasant life. Given the climate, that means
lots of root vegetables (especially potatoes), meat, fish, and grease.
All the things you need to eat before putting on your felt boots and
going to feed the pigs in temperatures of minus 30. Estonians also
like their food very salty, which can catch outsiders by surprise. But
things are changing. Tallinn now offers plenty of choice in
restaurants, and some adventurous chefs are giving traditional recipes
a new twist. Drinking has become an even greater pleasure. Estonian
beer is cheap and comes in varieties to suit all tastes. Wine lists in
restaurants are extensive—and wine is much cheaper than in
neighboring countries.
