Fettisdagen was yesterday, but we indulged in some Semla a traditional Swedish pastry that would appeal to Homer Simpson, today. Be assured, however, that our Semla consumption was hardly Homeric and most definitely did not apporoach the lethal level of gluttony achieved by King Adolf Frederick of Sweden.King Adolf Frederick of Sweden died of digestion problems on February 12, 1771 after consuming a meal consisting of lobster, caviar, sour cabbage, smoked herring and champagne that was topped off by 14 servings of his favourite dessert hetvägg, which is a semla served in a bowl of hot milk.
