What do you mean you haven't tried the world-famous Estonian cuisine? Whilst in Tallinn, you simply can't turn down the chance to sample some of the country's best dishes, at the renowned Eesti Maja Restaurant. Favourites include: marinated eel, blood sausage, jellied pork, baltic sprats with bacon and, of course, tongue in horseradish sauce. Much of the national cuisine descends from peasant times, when the frugal lifestyle of the average Esti meant they had to make the most of any potential meat sources. Presumably that's why you'll find a dish on the menu called 'A Fellow Estonian'. The unfortunate victim comes with free drinks and dessert as an extra incentive towards cannabalism.
