The funniest Finnish saying yet!

The other night I went to a friend's place as she was hosting the knitting night and I brought these Domino truffles (recipe can be found on Kraft under "Oreo truffles").  Well, one of the ladies took a bite and didn't say anything at first...and then she kind of made these choking sounds.  I was getting a little worried and she said, "Oh that was so good my tongue went down with the food."

I just chuckled, smiled and nodded and thought silently to myself "I hope to God that's a Finnish saying!!"

Well, I went to a friend's home and brought the same treats and something similar happened.  I then asked them "Oh there was this lady kind of choking and said her tongue went down with the chocolate - what does that mean?!"
They laughed and confirmed that YES it is a Finnish saying (translated in English) - simply meaning that the food was very good.

I'm going to try and incorporate a word of a week or a saying of a week on this blog - so keep an eye out!  Perhaps every Sunday I'll do this!
