The typical dish of Savo in Eastern Finland, kalakukko (Finnish fish pie) is made of local small fishes (usually vendace or perch) baked for hours inside a dark rye bread.

In France, this kind of spice bread or cake is often called a “couque.” Traditionally, the rye flour and honey were allowed to ferment for as much as a month before the other ingredients were added and it was baked.
