Oh you dipshit, that just means a restaurant that’s in Finland.

Nope.

Often when you specify "suomalainen" it correctly interprets the results as you seeking for Finnish or Finnish influenced food. Test it out yourself.

I get that you don't much care for Finnish cuisine but it doesn't mean such a thing doesn't exist. How fancy or popular or varied or even good it is is an another matter. And it's not what I'm arguing about. This isn't an emotional or opinion thing to me, I'm just saying the concept of cuisine doesn't really work how you are defining it. It's not even about it being Finnish, it'd be the same for Icelandic or Russian or Greek or any other cuisine.

Don’t think I don’t remember you doubting my story of the police abusing me, of which I have proof.

Huh?

I'm like 90% sure you definitely replied to me in a thread that I talked about being abused by the police, with the general suspicion of "our police don't do that" which all Finns have. Even I had it, until I got abused like that.

I'm not the one defining the concept.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuisine

A cuisine is a style of cooking characterized by distinctive ingredients, techniques and dishes, and usually associated with a specific culture or geographic region. Regional food preparation techniques, customs, and ingredients combine to enable dishes unique to a region.[1]

Boiled meat is not unique. I would argue we don't have enough food culture for it to constitute "a cuisine". And that's sort of backed up by there being no international restaurants serving mainly Finnish cuisine.

I mean could be, I don't remember. Just seemed like a weird thing to throw out there.

That is you trying to define it. Your own article links to "List of European cuisines" and that includes and links to "Finnish cuisine". If you were trying to define cuisine through truly unique foods or preparation techniques etc, not only would you drive yourself insane but you'd also find out you wouldn't have many cuisines left.
