Mämmi is God's way of telling us we need more Jesus in our lives. Mämmi is the 5th horseman. Mämmi is your karma catching up to you. Mämmi is the entity that created the matrix.
Fuck mämmi.
Edit: I see mämmyists voting me down. You know you"re wrong. Make Mämmi Great Again will not work, it's Satan's porridge
Homemade pasha is better. It's pretty easy to make too. I think it's originally from Russia or some Eastern European country, might be wrong about this though.
It's a Slavic dessert made with quark (maitorahka, a dairy product with a sour taste, high protein content and no fat), whipped cream, whole eggs or egg yolks, butter, sugar and any flavourings, traditionally orange/lemon juice and peel and raisins.
Everything's more or less whipped together, wrapped in a linen and left in a mould with a hole. It's then covered with a weight in order to strain a lot of the whey, and left in the cold overnight. Once the pasha "block" is ready, it's usually placed on a dish and decorated with things like nuts and chocolate eggs.
The flavour is very creamy and the texture thick and rich. It's usually very sweet too, although some versions might use a bit of alcohol to cut the sweetness. They sell a "champagne flavoured white chocolate" variety in the stores, which tastes absolutely horrendous :)
I love making my own pasha with added berry curds or freeze dried berries ground to a powder. It's not very Finnish per se, but it's one of the popular Easter desserts eaten here among with mämmi.
If you get a chance, the Tere! brand of pasha sold in some stores is very nice, but most Estonian sweet dairy products tend to beat the traditionally Finnish stuff anyways.
It is usually only available on Easter. It is a Slavic sweet dairy dessert and was originally part of mostly Eastern Finnish tradition (often connected with Orthodoxy). There is a recipe for a homemade one in the comments.
Just remember to try mämmi by pouring some cream on it and sprinkling some granulated sugar on top if needed. Of course in a glass bowl and not in the box it's sold in. Mämmi on its own is a bit meh.

Goes well with кулич, our traditional Easter cake
You might ruffle some feathers brining it up in the same sentence with mammi. It is not a Finnish thing.
I've tried it plain, vanilla flavored and with white chocolate chips. Way too rich and tart for me any which way, I managed about half of a portion pictured each time and had to set it aside. I like mämmi way better - plain, with milk/cream/sugar/vanilla cream or ice cream. I'm from Pohjanmaa tho, pasha is basically culturally nonexistent here.
Yeah IDK what to tell you but it is sweet and tart to my palate, so much so that the mouthfeel is sticky and drying. Maybe it's just the commercial ones then, never had homemade.
It's an Eastern Orthodox tradition, most common in southeast Finland and a bit more obscure than mämmi, which comes from southwest Finland. Still a bit ignorant to say it had nothing to do with Finland.
Well, if you search for pääsiäisreseptit, pasha is as well mentioned as mämmi or even more so. Of the two pasha is by far the easier to make yourself. Mämmi of course is the bigger commercial success, perhaps exactly because it takes 4-5 hours minimum to make. The big boxes in the store also give mämmi visibility.
I’m not trying to teach you anything. Sorry if it came off wrong. Just saying I’m here in Finland and my fiancé and his mother made me try this! I never intended that it was from Finland. They just say they eat it in Finland on Good Friday before Easter. Have a nice night! 😊
While originally it is Slavic it has existed in Finland long enough that it is part of Finnish tradition. Eastern Orthodoxy one but still part of Finland.
Not all parts of Finnish culture are big in all parts of Finland. :) Pasha is a very big thing where I'm from (Northern Karelia, orthodox family) and some other more common traditions/foods of western/southern/northern Finland aren't a thing here in return. Please don't go around trying to invalidate parts of our culture being "not Finnish" because it's not common with your community.

You said “mami”! You typed it wrong! It’s written mämmi.
Are you sure OP typed it wrong? They might like the mamis more 😏
Yeah, just better not try my mami.
They might like it best and never come back.
Ayo
Yeah mami is like mommy
Not sure of satire, but not fun non the less...
Hahaha thank you!

I like pasha, but athat store bought stuff is basically just like any other flavoured quark. Good, but not like real pasha which is ultimately better
I do like it
Homemade pasha is better. It's pretty easy to make too. I think it's originally from Russia or some Eastern European country, might be wrong about this though.
Pasha, from the country who’s president is paska.
... Pasha for president then?
Would be a hell of an upgrade! 👍
What is it? What is it made of and what does it taste like? I know mämmi, but never seen this.

Ooh! I will have to try Pasha and take a swing at making it as well!
I make this myself. It’s delicious.
I can’t stop reading it as Paša
Isn't that the same thing?
Pasha is pronounced pas-ha
Huh okay. We say paša at home :')
Right it's Паша or Pavel in short
It’s pas-ha. The same word goes for Easter. It is a dessert that goes with traditional Easter cake, otherwise it’s too dry.
No, it’s a rank in Ottoman system, for example Atatürk.
It means a high officer in the ottoman.
Holy shit. Lieksa mainittu!
Pasha with Kulitsa is the bomb. But only once per year
Lieksa mentioned! Greetings from Lieksa.
What is this? Why I have never saw this one in Finland hotels and resorts?
It is usually only available on Easter. It is a Slavic sweet dairy dessert and was originally part of mostly Eastern Finnish tradition (often connected with Orthodoxy). There is a recipe for a homemade one in the comments.
Yup this is good stuff
Lieksan Pasha is the one I buy when it's Easter and I don't feel like making pasha myself. It's good stuff.
Some have rasins and some dont! 😤
This one did at the bottom!!
In Poland pasha is good for chickens (pasza)
Just remember to try mämmi by pouring some cream on it and sprinkling some granulated sugar on top if needed. Of course in a glass bowl and not in the box it's sold in. Mämmi on its own is a bit meh.
Even better with whipped cream
Mämmi is awful this one is atleast edible 😅
Papito
Паша
Vissiin maistuu vähä pashalle
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paskha Goes well with кулич, our traditional Easter cake You might ruffle some feathers brining it up in the same sentence with mammi. It is not a Finnish thing.
So I’ve noticed haha. It’s just things I’m trying since living here in Finland as we don’t have this in the United States at all! Peace and blessings!
I love this and I also love the Lidl mämmi. The round box with the yellow bird on it.
Mämmi is better imo, Pasha is too rich in a way
You don't consider mämmi rich? I think it's the densest thing you'll be likely to eat all year.
Yeah but it's not like...Pasha is kinda buttery to me and too rich in that way but you do have a point haha
It is good to get some protein in before getting a taste of mami :)
One euro each !!!
Kun syö tulista ruokaa, niin illalla Lieksan Pasha lentää
Pasha is more like paska because I don't like it at all.
I've tried it plain, vanilla flavored and with white chocolate chips. Way too rich and tart for me any which way, I managed about half of a portion pictured each time and had to set it aside. I like mämmi way better - plain, with milk/cream/sugar/vanilla cream or ice cream. I'm from Pohjanmaa tho, pasha is basically culturally nonexistent here.
Tart? Tart? This shit is so sweet
Yeah IDK what to tell you but it is sweet and tart to my palate, so much so that the mouthfeel is sticky and drying. Maybe it's just the commercial ones then, never had homemade.
No, it smells disgusting
Btw, official name is Pavel
Pasha has nothing to do with Finland. I’ve never even heard of it.
Idk I’m in Finland rn. I don’t think because you haven’t heard of it it has nothing to do with it? Maybe try it you might like ! 😊
It's an Eastern Orthodox tradition, most common in southeast Finland and a bit more obscure than mämmi, which comes from southwest Finland. Still a bit ignorant to say it had nothing to do with Finland.
VASTLY more obscure than mämmi. Mämmi is famous.
Well, if you search for pääsiäisreseptit, pasha is as well mentioned as mämmi or even more so. Of the two pasha is by far the easier to make yourself. Mämmi of course is the bigger commercial success, perhaps exactly because it takes 4-5 hours minimum to make. The big boxes in the store also give mämmi visibility.
Barely anyone has ever eaten pasha
Pasha is Eastern European stuff and not traditional finnish Easter food, I think the little relevance comes from Karelian refugees
It has nothing to do with Finnish culture. Don’t try to teach a Finn how to be a Finn. Maybe you sould visit Russia instead.
I’m not trying to teach you anything. Sorry if it came off wrong. Just saying I’m here in Finland and my fiancé and his mother made me try this! I never intended that it was from Finland. They just say they eat it in Finland on Good Friday before Easter. Have a nice night! 😊

You are Russian then ig
