I've always eaten kalakukko the Karelian way. In fact, I've not even heard of the Savonian way. But maybe I'm not the right one to discuss as I don't live in either Karelia or Savonia. JIP | Talk 17:40, 7 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The meaning of "kalakukko" is *not* literally "fish rooster", because in case of "kalakukko", instead of a bird, the word "kukko" has a whole other meaning, it is a short form for "kukkaro" ("purse" or "wallet"), or also possibly a form of "kukkurainen"; "heaped". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:14BA:EFB:E600:EDFA:B37E:37E4:3099 (talk) 21:21, 30 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
The original meaning may have been "hidden" or "covered over". There is also a hypothesis that the word kukko comes from Low-Saxon/German word with same origins as Kuchen (translated: Cake)
