Lihapiirakka is a Finnish meat pie: a soft wheat dough filled with minced meat and rice, then deep fried. You buy it hot at grill kiosks, petrol stations, train stations and markets.
One is 450 kcal, with 40 g of carbs, 26 g of fat and 13 g of protein. The frying oil is where most of the fat comes from.
At the grill it often gets split open and loaded with a sausage, an egg or ham, plus mustard and ketchup. All of that comes on top.
Tips
- 1Have the plain pie, not the loaded one.
- 2Drink water or black coffee with it instead of a soft drink.
- 3Make it lunch with a salad, not a snack before lunch.
