Semla




This Tuesday was ”semledagen” in Sweden. It's a day when very many eat buns with marzipan and whipped cream. “Semledagen” is also called “fat Tuesday”. It is a tradition in Sweden. In the past, people ate the bun before they were going to fast because it is full of calories. Nowadays people eat “semla” not just for a day. You can buy it almost the whole winter and a little bit till the spring. //Anna Clara
