Food
The Hoito Restaurant is well known for its Finnish pancakes. These pancakes (lettu or lätty in Finnish, depending on what part of Finland one is from) are thin and the size of a large dinner plate. Other traditional Finnish foods served at the Hoito include viili, karjalanpiirakka, karjalanpaisti, lohiperunalaatikko, pulla, suolakala, riisipuuro, kalakeitto, hernekeitto and Finnish weiners. Rye bread, baked at the adjacent Kivela Bakery, is also often served with meals.
The Hoito also serves a variety of other Finnish and Canadian foods. Unique among these is beef mojakka, which is a Finnish-Canadian beef stew, and a homemade veggie burger.

Famous quotes containing the word food:
“At the violet hour, the evening hour that strives
Homeward, and brings the sailor home from sea,
The typist home at teatime, clears her breakfast, lights
Her stove, and lays out food in tins.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“To give money to a sufferer is only a come-off. It is only a postponement of the real payment, a bribe paid for silence, a credit system in which a paper promise to pay answers for the time instead of liquidation. We owe to man higher succors than food and fire. We owe to man.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Arguably the only goods people need these days are food and nappies.”
—Terence, Sir Conran (b. 1931)
