I added the qualifier "occasionally" to the mention of raisins as a flavoring/ingredient. This is the first I have heard of that addition; as far as I know, the cardamom is signature flavor of Pulla. --Mdresser 16:47, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

My Finnish-American mother sometimes puts raisins and candied fruit in her homemade nisu, but more often makes it plain, in the braided loaves. The recipe I have from her is flavored with lemon zest as well as cardamom. Dr.frog 00:27, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Is pulla any relation to challah?

Challah seems to be bread, where pulla is a delicacy. Kankkis (talk) 16:55, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Name

So why are there two Finnish names? Septentrionalis PMAnderson 18:55, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

I've been told that the Finnish dialect spoken in Upper Michigan preserves old-fashioned vocabulary and speech patterns from when the original immigrants left Finland around the turn of the last century, but which are no longer in common use by native speakers in Finland today; just as English has invented many new words for things in the last hundred years or so.

In Finland, nisu isn't as common as pulla, but both words are used. Kankkis (talk) 16:55, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] When eaten?

Is it usually eaten in winter? Badagnani (talk) 03:01, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

No, all year round. 85.23.55.169 (talk) 22:11, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
