I mean, Finnish cuisine is a thing, but… it’s not a thing. And you probably very well know what I mean with that.

It's not on par with world class cuisines, definitely.

I would say it's non-existent.

I genuinely tried searching for Finnish restaurants in other countries once. All I remember finding was "Nordic cuisine", which makes a bit more sense.

Like you wouldn't have enough dishes for a menu if it was just Finnish cuisine.

Karelian stew and mämmi. Crispbread to go with them. That's it.

"Nordic cuisine" is probably used because it provides better name recognition too, in addition to a wider selection.

It's much more than that. https://fi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Suomalainen_keitti%C3%B6 But a lot of those aren't internationally known or specifically associated with Finland so it doesn't make it worth it to run a specifically Finnish cuisine focused restaurant.
