Yesterday was Fettisdagen (fat Tuesday!). A Swedish holiday where we eat a particular pastry called Semla, made of:
- a sweet bread roll
- almond paste
- a ton of cream
I was visiting my brother in Uppsala yesterday and we first went for lunch at my favourite burger place, followed by a Semla at a cosy café. I'm actually not crazy for this pastry. When I was a kid I said to my mum on Fettisdagen: "Could I have a Semla without the bread?" which is pretty funny because without that, all that's left is almond paste and cream... But that would be my ideal Semla :)
After being abroad for a year, I realise how weird the Swedish holidays are. Fat Tuesday is just one of them. Who else dances around the christmas tree at christmas, pretending to be frogs? Or builds a gigant pole made of leaves and flowers in the summer, dancing around it, pretending to be frogs again...

haha good point.
But I learned recently that the fat tuesday is a south american holiday, not a swedish one, and is celebrated all over the world. But were the only ones who eat semlor, though.
And probably the only ones who dance around the x-mas tree imitating frogs.
