A person is a child-in-law to the parents of the spouse, who are in turn also the parents of those sibling-in-laws (if any) who are siblings of the spouse (as opposed to spouses of siblings). Together, the members of this family affinity group are called the in-laws. Fathers-in-law A father-in-law is the father of a person's spouse.

Viili
Viili (Finnish) is a mesophilic fermented milk product found in the Nordic countries, particularly Finland. Viili is similar to yoghurt or kefir, but when left unmixed, its texture is malleable, or "long". The metabolism of the bacteria used in the fermentation also gives viili a slightly different taste. This cultured milk snack resembles yoghurt and is the result of microbial action of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) and a surface-growing yeast-like fungus ''Geotrichum candidum'' present in milk, which forms a velvet-like surface on viili. In addition, most traditional viili cultures also contain yeast strains such as ''Kluveromyces marxianus'' and ''Pichia fermentans''. The lactic acid bacteria identified in viili include the acid‐producing ''Lactococcus lactis'' subsp. ''lactis'' and ''L. l. cremoris'' as well as the aroma producers ''L. lactis'' subsp. ''lactis'' biovar ''diacetylactis'' and ''Leuconostoc mesenteroides''. Among those mesophilic LAB strains, the slime-forming '' ...

(), also known as , is a traditional fermented milk product from Sweden, and a common dairy product within the Nordic countries. It is made by fermenting cow's milk with a variety of bacteria from the species ''Lactococcus lactis'' and ''Leuconostoc mesenteroides''.

The acid gives a sour taste and causes proteins in the milk, mainly casein, to coagulate, thus thickening the final product. The bacteria also produce a limited amount of diacetyl, a compound with a buttery flavor, which gives its characteristic taste. has a mild and slightly acidic taste. It has a shelf-life of around 10–14 days at refrigeration temperature. Overview In the Nordic countries, is often eaten with breakfast cereal, muesli or crushed crisp bread on top.
