Lörtsy

Lörtsy is a cherished Finnish pastry originating from Savonlinna, a picturesque town in eastern Finland. Picture a thin, half-moon shaped pastry that can cater to either savory or sweet cravings, depending on your preference.

For those who enjoy savory treats, the meat lörtsy is a delightful choice. It is filled with a tasty mixture of meat and rice, reminiscent of a Finnish meat pie. When purchased from a street vendor, it is often enhanced with pickled cucumber, chopped raw onion, and occasionally even a hot dog sausage.

For those with a sweet tooth, the apple lörtsy is the perfect indulgence. It is filled with sweet apple jam, offering a flavor similar to that of a jam doughnut.

Though lörtsy has its origins in the Savonlinna region, it has gained widespread popularity throughout Finland. Today, you can find these delectable pastries at street vendors and even in some supermarkets across the country.
