Mu isamaa, mu õnn ja rõõm ("My Fatherland, My Happiness and Joy"; was officially
adopted as the national anthem of the Republic of Estonia in 1920, and again in 1991.
The lyrics were written by Johann Voldemar Jannsen and are set to a melody
composed in 1848 by Fredrik (Friedrich) Pacius which is also that of the national
anthem of Finland: Maamme.During the Soviet occupation since 1944, Mu isamaa, mu
õnn ja rõõm was banned. Between 1945 and 1990 the Estonian Soviet Socialist Republic
had a different anthem. Yet, the people of Estonia could often hear the melody, as
Finland's state broadcaster Yleisradio, whose radio and television broadcasts were
received in Northern Estonia, played an instrumental version of the Finnish national
anthem, identical to this song (except for an additional repetition of the last verse in
the Finnish version), at closedown every night.

Kama is a traditional Estonian finely milled flour mixture. The kama powder is a
mixture of roasted barley, rye, oat and pea flour. The oat flour may be completely
replaced by wheat flour, or kibbled black beans may be added to the mixture.
Historically kama was a non-
perishable, easy-to-carry food
that could be quickly fashioned
into a stomach-filling snack by
rolling it into butter or lard; it
didn't require baking, as it was
already roasted.
Nowadays it is used for
making some desserts. It is
