Pöö fellows, some local colour.

Breakfast while waiting train to north.

I did open game with hefeweizen, which is german-style wheat bear.
This was really challenging on that matter that it is dry, unfiltered and relatively strong.
When they have brew this, they have been stingy with source of sugar, it really did taste like last molecule available, was converter to ethanol.
So basically there was two taste on beer, yeast (unfiltered) and ethanol. Odor was similar to nail-polish remover.
it was hard to sip before food and after. When flushing down some salad with oily dressing, it did beat water.
As plus side, there was no after taste what so ever, gracefully those vanish like fart into Sahara. Pint of this industrial strength solvent was 9€.




Then some salad, another one was salmon-salad.
As local abnormality, on most cases when food is sold as salmon, it is actually trout. To make it even more complicated, it is sold as rainbow salmon here.
This is not scam or anything, Finland just was closed society up to 1990's and our food sources where very equal to CCCP. So it is accepted historical continuity, to sold mass produced trout here as salmon.

Simply thump rule can be made.
If food price is 15€ like this salad here, it is mass produced trout.
If it is 50€, then it is probably some fish from salmonidae
If specifically ask trout, it mean that you will be served wild trout captured from local lakes, and be ready bill >100€.

Back to salad itself.
Local mass produced rainbowtrout is kind of challenging material on that matter, that it is technically chicken, without taste of chicken.
With this I mean that if you take a look at it GS, it is not really fish what comes to compositon of it.
It is just linoleic acid, which does not have taste what so ever.

So it was most joyful surprise to found out that chef (very slow but now really appreciated here) was somehow able to conjure even different kind of tastes layers to "fish".
There was this chicken kind of crispy outer layer on bear flesh and somehow this most suitable salted taste did continue through hold piece.
Then some poteitoes, cherry tomatoes etc.




Another salad was more to manly taste, goat-cheese salad.
There was two proper size piece of goat-cheese with dressing and some leafs under those.
This was also 15€ salad and probably best return to invest, that have been gaining on Helsinki on few years.
Not expert what comes to cheeses, so cannot say any details about it, except that it was absolutely magnificent.
It was pure concentration of most tasteful fat that did consist huge variety of different kind of tastes, there where way too many to express those. It was just symphony orchestra on mouth.
I did split cheese so small pieces as it was possible to fork them, and every piece, how tiny ever, did cause this very same chain reaction, tsumani of tastes.

Thank you deltavee.

Poi what piece of craftsmanship did purchase today
To be exact, it is Omega, 1975, De Ville, St Honoré.



Actually did found it from web-catalog earlier and did hold it physically first time week ago, it was love on first sight but was able to put myself to penalty box for week. Still did love to have that watch so went and purchase it today.

Did wear wrist watch last time on 1990's, after get my first cellular, there was not functional use for wrist watch really after begun of that time period.
Did buy this because wrist watch is really one of those very rare trinket that man can wear, and green is my favorite color.
Here we go, you know when somebody is using subject like favorite color, favorite taste etc, then that person is using emotional register that is most familiar all of us from time when we were little kids.
So, it was just something that I did love to have
Did try to get dimensionality from face to photoed up but it seems to be quite impossible, on real life there is very same effect that you can notice if ever fly over Alps, there is no way to get real sense about depth of those mountains from pic.
Some how Swizz dudes has manage to replicated that third dimension on that watch, it is just totally different looking (very much deeper) on real life than on photos. So very beautiful piece of fine art.

Price was most reasonable. On these very rare 70's watches, there is really absolutely not any demand on collectors market, there fore there is not offering and there fore there is not positive auction spiral with these.
These are something that 99% of collectors does not even know to exist.
Price I pay, was Öbaut twice of spot-price of white gold and diamonds on it.
Watch was just serviced, which did make deal even more luring because Omega does not send spare part anymore to anybody, so watch need to be send for authorized repair shop for oil change and it is not cheap at all.
To make my deal even better, dude who sold me watch did promise ten (10) year warranty, he probably thought that I'm going to use that watch only with tuxedo or something.
Nope, going to wear it on office so going to need that maintenance after five years. Generally these new lubricant will handle seven years max; so it is nice to know that I have several years running time to go and one free service to use.

So happy

Some lobby:

Just came across this and i do love the old architecture of the buildings

Sip of the day: Henry Westons Vintage.

This is joyful British cider.
It is dry (35g/l) and strong (8,2%).

This is not so linear as build components would let aloud understand, there is absolutely big "organic" tasteprint, strong enough to pend rich alcohol content to be sense even to more watery kind of experience.
Cider has been fermented on oak barrels, and it also bend taste down to more gray/dull area via tannin. Not much, but enough to be sensed.

Sure is some neutrally smooth calm combination of apple-trees and oak-trees.
Really like late-autumn rain, sure there is everything same as on early-autumn time, but with little a less of noise.

This sure is joy to sip while wait food to arrive. This does not hijack mouth from food, but sure it has very own unique identity. This is something I will meet again with joy.

Nope, this is not ghost thread, *** is visiting on Minnesota.
