Semlor
1771 February 10 in Swedish History
The Swedish King Adolf Fredrik dies of acute food poisoning at Stockholm Palace after having eaten too much, most famously of the beloved Swedish dessert “semla”. Adolf Fredrik, who was born in 1710, is succeeded by his son Gustav, who becomes King Gustav III. Gustav, who at the time is in Paris, receives the message of his father’s passing during an opera visit a month later and travels to Sweden immediately.
During the winter months of January through March, you’ll find cardamon buns (called semlor) filled with thick almond paste and whipped cream, in bakeries and cafes all over the country.

February 12 is THE semla day (called fettisdagen) 2013, which means that it’s the last Tuesday before the 40-day period of fasting that precedes Easter in the Christian calendar. This is the excuse used to eat these sinfully delicious buns. It is claimed that semlor started to become popular in Sweden already in 1541.

Scandinavian cuisine getting so popular here?
It began with the warm, creamy, cut-price meatballs designed to fuel flat-pack furniture fans seeking a break from the aisles of Ikea. But over the past few years Scandinavian cuisine has been spreading beyond Britain's retail parks and creeping into supermarkets and restaurants.
