Typically eaten at Christmas?

The article says "typically eaten at Christmas". I'm Finnish, and I have never heard of maksalaatikko being part of a typical Finnish Christmas dinner. On the contrary, maksalaatikko is a mundane, everyday food, whereas Christmas dinner consists of other "laatikkos" made from potato, carrot, and rutabaga, all of which taste sweeter than maksalaatikko, and of course the famous Finnish Christmas ham, without which no Finnish Christmas dinner would be complete. Whoever came up with the idea that maksalaatikko is a Christmas dish? JIP | Talk 20:36, 9 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I am a Finnish guy from Lapland, but I'm afraid I can only speak for myself, when I say that I've grown to associate maksalaatikko with joulu (Christmas), as it's always been the only casserole I would eat at Christmas dinner (be it at home, or the school canteen.) That said, I do eat it about once a month. I guess we'll never know... 80.220.152.47 (talk) 02:02, 23 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]
