We do. Vegan soy cheese is in a lot of groceries now, but usually only specialized restaurants will offer fake cheese as an option. We're just starting to get fake meat in various eateries, and that's still mostly limited to burgers.

A few pizzerias around here will offer a cheese -less pizza or other vegan options (fake cheese, onions paste instead, etc).

Edit: oh we also have milk and cheese but engineered to be lactose free. I'd say that's even rarer in restaurants than vegan options though.

That's really surprising. Lactose-free milk has been really common here in Finland for gods know how long, probably 20 years at least. Low lactose even longer.

Not sure I've ever seen low lactose or lactose free cheese though, although it's not something I'd pay attention to. I thought many cheeses are pretty low in lactose to begin with due to the process naturally converting it to something else?

edit turns out lactose free cheeses are also extremely common, I just didn't know because I can digest lactose without pooping

Fun fact! Practically all hard cheeses are lactose free!

You can check for yourself by checking the nutritional label for sugars. If it's 0, you're good!

A-ha, so my vague recollection was actually on the right path for once

Katsopa tarkemmin. Esimerkiksi Arkijuusto on ollut laktoositonta viimeiset 5 vuotta, vähintään. Eikä todellakaan ole ainoa. T: Juusto rakastava, laktoosia paskova.

For english speakers: we have had lactose free cheesw for a while, and it is delicious.

Ah, näinpä tietenkin. Ei tosiaan ole tullut kiinnitettyä huomiota kun minuun laktoosi uppoaa ilman että paska lentää (no, siitä syystä ainakaan)

Do pizza shops/chains offer lactose-free pizza options in Finland, typically?
