The Swedish Semla season is upon us! Those delicious sweet buns flavored with cardamom, filled with whip cream and almond paste can be found in grocery stores, cafes and bakeries all over Gothenburg and the rest of Sweden.
Semlor are traditionally eaten on "Fat Tuesday" or "Fettisdagen" (the day before fasting on Ash Wednesday). They're usually available in the New Year until Easter time, after that you need to wait until next year.
Semlor at 7Eleven come in various sizes!
From Wikipedia, "A semla, vastlakukkel, laskiaispulla or fastlagsbulle/fastelavnsbolle is a traditional sweet roll made in various forms in Sweden,[1] Finland, Estonia, Norway, Denmark, the Faroe Islands and Iceland."
Dairy and egg free? Don't worry, you can even find Vegan Semla or Semlor at a few cafes in the city, like Mr. Cake!
It's a once a year treat, so why not indulge a little? The date for Fat Tuesday changes each year. Try to order early if you plan to buy more than a few semlor to celebrate!
Semlor at Le Pain Francais, a French bakery cafe with a few locations around the city!
Don't forget your snacks!
