Best bet is the last link and navigate the "breadcrumbs" back to a more root level link. Good luck with the translations! Haha, there's a way, just tough to find but did it last year.

Last ditch resort here:

This thread from last year is also a good reference:

Tallinn looks like a cool place.

I know BJ enjoys Jimmy Johns. I checked. It doesn't look good for him to find a shop in Estonia. The native food might be a challenge for him.

For a lot of foreign visitors, traditional Estonian food can be, frankly, daunting. People from most parts of the world are simply not used to chowing down on marinated eel, or swallowing spoonfuls of jellied meat for that matter. And it goes without saying that a lot of people would flinch before attempting anything called 'blood sausage.' Most Estonians, on the other hand, wouldn't think twice before digging into these home-spun delicacies.

The cool news is that this is jello. The bad news is that it is meat jello.

Depends what you grow up on. We always had beets, herring and potato salad and I still eat that stuff to this day. Of course, we never had it all together like that though.

Same and I have never seen them together like that. I eat anything just like Andrew Zimmern but that looks disgusting. I don't even eat potato salads anymore loaded with too much mayo/miracle whip. Those are nasty.
 
FYI- I heard back and practice is from 6 to 8 am on Friday. I will probably stop by on my way to mid town to check it out.
Updates would be very appreciated, if you can.

Looks like Alpo inside the jello!
 
re- Updates would be very appreciated, if you can.
If you send me your email, I'll forward you some observations that I put together for Mike W. Bottom line is they are going to get a some great experience against some mature competition and solid coaching.
