To complete the full circle around the Nordics, I’ll mention that “dorka” comes from the Swedish word “dåre”, which translates to “fool” or “lunatic”.

Dorka is an outdated slang word for a dumbass in Finnish lol.

A word I haven’t heard in at least a decade.

That’s great to hear! Did they offer any lingonberry jam though?

Same in Finland!

I’ve never tried the British stuff, but our blood sausage is pretty good. Goes very well with lingonberry jam. :)

Scandinavian

Half of the countries listed are Finland and Estonia lol.

Veganism is not a diet. I think this is the source of your confusion.

I don’t understand why you are so against using the accurate and more flexible term “plant-based” instead of “vegan”.

Why do you insist on bastardizing veganism? I don’t get it. Like I told you earlier, labels matter and this just breeds confusion on what’s vegan and what’s not. People already are confused about veganism because of nonsense like this. Just call it “mostly plant based” and call it a day.

Have you heard anyone say “almost halal” or “almost kosher”? No?

This is just as ridiculous.

“Veganism” is total abstinence from animal products.

Something is either vegan or it’s not. It’s completely binary. Either it contains animal based products or it doesn’t.

Food that is mostly plant based is way better for the environment and animals than your average meat and dairy based meals, but it’s just not “almost vegan”. Labels have meanings and it should be like that so there’s no confusion.

I thought I was being original picking Nyan Cat as my profile picture for this platform.

Oh well, we’re siblings now I guess. :D
