Lihapiirakka

A lihapiirakka is an everyday Finnish food sold in supermarkets and often available ready-to-eat as street food. It is a form of savoury pie made from yeasted enriched bread dough and filled with a mixture of minced meat and cooked rice and cooked by deep frying. It does not resemble a traditional English or American meat pie or turnover because it is made of enriched bread dough and is deep fried. They are usually bought ready-cooked and are simply reheated in a microwave oven. A larger and thicker form is also known as a möttönen. Two variants from Lappeenranta are atomi and vety ("atom" and "hydrogen"), where atomi contains either ham or egg, and vety includes both. Traditionally the pie is eaten whole.
