Isn't vulva latin? Völvor kallades även vala. In anicent islandic it was vǫlva from vǫlr, staff. Staffs was maybe something associated to authority.

Sorry, but that Bun is not traditional. We never used to have frosting on them, only Pearl Sugar, and they were not that large. It's a Cafe thing, they messed with it to stand out, I guess.

[@westrobothnian]

Well thats a bit of a simplification. In my neighborhood in the 60 and 70ies there were often glazing on the buns that was on the table when there was guests. Went away with the housewives I guess.

[@matshjalmarsson3008]

@@westrobothnian Perhaps a regional thing? I grew up in Tyresö, S Stockholm with relatives in Jämtland, and I never saw it. Perhaps on the longer variant "fläta", but never on the buns

Nooooo... Nooooo.. Didn't you go to the Vasa Museum (i know tajt your not so much of a museum person) but oh my God you missed, probably one of the most amazing experiences from visiting a museum. I didn't really understood it myself, and had lived in Stockholm for 21 years, before I went to there for the first time. I was totally stunned and blown away. Its basically a ship from 1628, that they have pieced toghether again, after being in the bottom of the sea, almost in the middle of Stockholm city center, to the 1961. The ship really are almost intact, because of the Baltic water/seabed have so low oxygene levels that the woodwork looks like it was droppe down just a couple of weeks ago. All of the exibition and whats included to tahto museum Is just amazing, and an must do at least once in your life time, if ever getting the chance. So please, you must visit that museum next time and you must be prepared that it will take a while before you want to leave that place 😊🙏🙏🙏🙏

Have you heard about that place called Birka in Stockholm? Its a very funny thing that happened when they found a Viking warrior grave from the 10:th century, that was filled with weapons and exavated in 1889. The funny part of this story Is that they belived i to be a smaller man, that was buried there for some time. But then when the archaeology got more advanced, and they understood that this warriors pelvis actually looked more like it was of a woman tahn a "little man". But the thing was that they could not even comprehend the idea that a warrior could ever had been a woman, and that a woman of its time could have been buried with such honors and that a woman could have had such a high status in the society back then, first of all because were talking about fierce Viking men, right. So these archaeological expertis and professors and what not claimed that this was not a woman, but a....... Hold on to your hat now.... That warrior was now a TRANSVESTITE 😂😂😂😂.... It was debated for a very long time and not many could admit that it could actually be a woman, until it all was proven to be 100% right.... Using DNA and when that was proven was there nobody that could claim otherwise anymore, but who knows... Mayby she was a transgender man (woman that was a man because she felt that she was a man). It is totally possible today so we all know that you are really not what you always borns into, and she can also just been a he/her, them/these or non binary 🤔.... So mayby these conservative archaeological experts and professors was right all along, and we should not call her a woman/man at all ... But we call it : That or it 🥹
