How do you prefer your fettisdagsbulle in Sverige? Always with almonds or strawberries as well?
Haven't tried with beer. Traditionally we prefer them with one (or more) shot of arrack punch.

We have an almond paste filling inside our "semlor", never heard of strawberries though. You mean as filling, right? Another, more unusual, way to eat them is in a bowl with hot milk. To get more flavor I add cardamom and sugar to the milk. To drink with the semla we don't have anything special, milk maybe. The beer is just me doing things a bit differently. This is at least what I personally am used to. It's interesting to see how we do things differently. Do you have anything else you differently except for the punch?

Semlor/fettisdagsbulle is very seasonal yummu here, available only during few weeks during this time of the year. It's a celebration with paganic origins, later adapted by church. Originally it used to be some sort of feminine celebration. Nowadays known as pääsiäinen/fettisdagen. Hey the day will be in few weeks!

Semlor always come filled with lots of whipped cream and either almond or strawberries/raspberries (fresh or jam). But not both.
Some like almonds, some, like me, prefer berries.
The traditional and decent way to enjoy semlor is with a shot of arrack punch, although some prefer akvavit. Kids have to get along with milk or juice.

Pretty much like here though besides the punch and berries as I mentioned. But not everybody likes the almond paste so when we make home made ones the almond paste can be substituted with something like jam, chocolate or whatever you feel like. I haven't seen those options in stores though, and it is not the traditional way of making them. Just writing about it makes me want to eat one

Let's keep our hopes up. Maybe we will get a picture of the creation?
