The Double Tuesday

[janneppi]

Today is both Shrove Tuesday(laskiainen for the Finns) which means a bun with whip cream and strawberry jam unless you are mentally unstable and have almond jam instead of strawberry.

Add to that it's something called Runeberg's day which also has a tasty eatable party piece, the Runeberg's tart

This is an even bigger jackpot than when the Emperor discovered the key to great Star Wars dialogue! :D

Almond jam!? I've never heard of it.

So what are you planning to give up for lent?

We also have that bun with whip cream, plus also pea-soup. We're also meant to go sledding today, otherwise the flax crops won't flourish. But we have no snow! :(

[janneppi]

I guess no flax for you next summer then. :)

No flax for at least the last half a decade. :rolleyes: Can't remember the last proper winter here. Can't remember the second-to-last winter, either. ;)

Something, something, something dark side ;)

I'd say that the whole Double Tuesday thing is more intense than that time I forgot how to sit down :D

Something, something, something complete... or atleast that's how it felt after eating a Shrove bun after just lunch. Too much food at one go. :)

It's good old Runeberg's day ???!!

Darn, I missed it completely, it has been all about Laskiainen here.Where I can find those tarts...??

In Sweden we eat "Semla" today, which is fet tisdagen(direct translation is "fat tuesday" allthough I think it means someting else). It is also called hetvägg and is a bun with a lot of whipped cream with marsipan.
I prefer it with hot milk and cinnamon :)

Plenty of tarts here :) Although perhaps we're thinking of different tarts.
