Not that far at all...
I would see the Beornings eating in quite a Nordic style (even though Nordic palate is having lots of meat in it because of the cold climate - we would just have to exclude them).
We finns might be quite near the dwarves then - with our "brothers" in Hungary (getting the spices from there), and of course the russians?
Of course we finns share half (or a bit more) with overall Nordic (Scandinavian) kitchen, but we have also a wealth of a more eastern traditions in it.
So Scandinavian food is not slavic as such, but Finland is a place where these traditions clearly meet.
