It is also sold ready-to-eat and eaten as an everyday food, and appears commonly in school lunches. In 2011, a Gallup poll of 299 schoolchildren found that liver casserole was the least liked dish in the school menus.[1] Nevertheless, it remains as a popular convenience food.

Traditionally maksalaatikko was eaten at Christmas[2] but these days it is rather seen as a year-round daily dish.
