To my fellow Scandinavians

[The Rebel]

For many years I've wanted to celebrate with a traditional treat that my Swedish, Norwegian and Danish ancestors would have had.

This year I finally decided to go for it and bought my 1st Kransekake (Wreath Cake) out of NJ.

This treat is also used at weddings where the bride and groom will take the top ring and pull at it. Depending on how many come off is said to fortell how many children they will have.

Merry Christmas / God Jule!

Does. It taste like a doughnut?

 

[MarPar]

I'd eat it.

 

[YY1]

It kinda looks like a donot.

Uf-da! I only married in to SwedeWegian culture but I've eaten that and, yeah....no.
On a tastier note, mother-in-law just got her annual shipment of lefse from her favorite place back in Minnesowda. She makes a strong one but always likes to 'order in' from da old neighborhood at Christmas time.

It's an interesting texture soft but not mushy. It's got Almonds in it.

That does it for me, I don’t do almonds.

 

[YY1]

Too bad. Other than that, it looks pretty good.

It’s mostly the old timers that endure its fantasy of flavor. You won’t catch anyone my age or younger that will eat that ****….

But thx for the Red X - My first and I could never tell you why….

My point was-

The thread has numerous references to Things Scandinavian.....

...and the ad is for a Scandinavian owned business with a stereotypical Scandinavian name.
