I have been writing that Estonia has an abundance of forest, we like to pick berries and mushrooms.
But Estonia is a maritime country. The Baltic Sea surrounds Estonia from the north, west and southwest.
In August the night is dark and the sky is full of stars. In August we have an amazing tradition. At sunset Come to the shore of the Baltic Sea and enjoy a bonfire or light one yourself. The sea unites all of us.

But August is the chanterelle month, as well. Mushroom Salad Sandwiches or filled pancakes are the best picnic food.
The simplest Salad recipe.
Salted mushroom:
How to remove additional salt are a lot of tips.
My South Estonian relatives told me that they boiling salted mushroom in milk. And after that mushroom look and taste like a fresh.
The second option is to boil mushroom just in the water.
And the simplest one. Put mushroom to soak the night before.
Fresh chanterelle: The mushrooms are cleaned without water, with only a clean, dry towel and paring knife. Heat the chanterelle in a skillet without fat/butter until water has evaporated.
Frozen mushroom : melt, fry slightly.
For Salad:
Chop prepared mushrooms
Chop boiled eggs
Chop onion
Mix everything with sour cream and season with salt and pepper.
So delicious and beautiful presentation 😋😍

This is lovely, Ruta ! Not that I can buy your kind of ‘kukeseened’ here . . . well, there are a few distant cousins not readily available and called ‘exotic !!! But I do like the way you have put the mush rooks, eggs, onion and sour cream together and made a moreish bread or wrap topping with it . . . dare say some of our mushrooms will work also . . . best . . .
