Mustamakkara
Mustamakkara () is a type of Finnish blood sausage traditionally eaten with lingonberry jam. It is available in many stores across Finland, but is considered a specialty of Tampere, Pirkanmaa. Mustamakkara is at its best when bought and eaten fresh at market stalls, to which it is delivered in styrofoam boxes straight from the factories, still piping hot. A typical practice of reheating the sausage is to fry it in a pan. Mustamakkara is known to have been eaten as early as the 17th century and was generally cooked over a small fire, in a hot cauldron, or in an oven. Mustamakkara is made by mixing ground pork, pig blood, crushed rye and flour, after which it is stuffed into a casing of intestine. The two major producers of this food are Tapola and Savupojat. When buying mustamakkara in the Tampere region, it is customary to specify the worth of sausage one wishes to buy, instead of the weight, length or number of the pieces, e.g. "Five euros' worth of black sausage, please".

Tammelantori
Tammelantori is a market square in the Tammela district in the center of Tampere in Pirkanmaa, Finland. It is one of Tampere's most significant marketplaces, which is very popular, especially during the summer. The market is very famous for its cafes and ''mustamakkara'' kiosks.

Ryynimakkara
Ryynimakkara () is a type of sausage in Finnish cuisine containing groats. Ryynimakkara has barley groats, about one fifth of its weight, lowering its meat and fat content. Also, the fat content is considerably lower than other sausages, usually between 10 and 15%. In some traditional recipes ryynimakkaras are prepared with no meat at all. The closest relatives to the ryynimakkara are the potato sausage (''perunamakkara'') from the Häme region of Finland, which has potato instead of the barley groats, blood sausages (''verimakkara'') and the black sausage (''mustamakkara'') from Tampere. The use of groats in the ryynimakkara is similar to the British black pudding although its appearance is different, being a thick and small sausage. Also, the Scottish traditional food haggis have some similarities to ryynimakkara, although instead of intestines it is made in the stomach of a sheep.

Blood Sausage
A blood sausage is a sausage filled with blood that is cooked or dried and mixed with a filler until it is thick enough to solidify when cooled.
