A bit like surstr�mming, that should never be exported outside Sweden. The others would just not get it...

Sweds doesn't get it either. Trust me. My brother nealy puked when we tried it. Rotten tinned fish that smells like fart. Whoa!
Fortunately Kalevala is quite melodic in swedish and even if loosing something in translation it can be translated. Surstr�mming doesn't need to be translated. It stinks in any language.

Maybe we could find a source with the essential events that takes place in Kalevala in readable form, or maybe compile a list of monsters and heroes both in Kalevala and the Finnish folklore in general.
Any kalevalistics out there? If we want Kalevala, we better work for it! Perkele!

My Version of it has a sum up, but as most sum ups it leaves all the interesting details that are useful. I'll take a look at your links.
