What's the sweet or pastry you can't resist? 😉

@goennaberlin 10 ай бұрын

Semla… I’m a bit biased. 😏 But also cannoli from Sicily and Levantine sweets, such as Halawet el-jeben.

Danish pastry has some good ones like kanelstang (cinamonstik) that is way better than the Semla.

The name semla is a loan word from German Semmel, originally deriving from the Latin simila, meaning 'flour', itself a borrowing from Greek σεμίδαλις (semidalis), "groats", which was the name used for the finest quality wheat flour or semolina.

That's actually not true at all... Semolina and Semmel actually derives from the Swedish pastry called Semla.

We have the same in Norway, but its usually with cream and jam. We call it fastelavnsbolle since we eat it at Fastelavn. (Fasten abend)

I'm from Denmark and worked a couple of years in Sweden and they make it with quite a hard/though bun, it's not soft and more bread like. The filling makes it sweeter, but it's still a strange combination. It reminds me more of a bagel actually. The Danish fastelavnsbolle is much more soft, same goes for the German Berliner or similarities.

With all that whipped cream, the king probably had a heart attack. He did eat 14 of them. I never heard of semlas. There are a few Swedish bakeries in Chicago, I will have to try it.

Semlor back then didn't contain whipped cream, just almond filling. They were instead boiled in very fat milk. The current theory - as pointed out in the video- is that he died of a stroke immediately after finisheng his dinner. However, when they performed an autopsy on him his entire stomach was filled to bursting with mostly undigested food so there is also a possibility that he died of a ruptured stomach or (as you said) a heart attack. History fact: Apart from eating himself to death, King Adolf-Fredrik is also known as the laziest king of Sweden. He didn't enjoy being king at all and therefore handed over all power to his ministers. They had a stamp made up with his signature so that they could pass laws and bills without him even being present. Because of this, the country ran far smoother and more efficient than almost ever before. Either way, a semla is absolutely delicious. I doesn't matter if you eat them in their modern iteration or the traditional way. They are heavenly. You should defenitely try them.
