Finnish cuisine is notable for generally combining traditional country fare and ''haute cuisine'' with contemporary style cooking. Fish and meat play a prominent role in traditional Finnish dishes from the western part of the country, while the dishes from the eastern part have traditionally included various vegetables and mushrooms. Refugees from Karelia contributed to foods in eastern Finland. Many regions have strongly branded traditional delicacies, such as Tampere has ''mustamakkara'' and Kuopio has ''kalakukko''.
