I moved to Sweden recently and one of my friends is showing me all the best treats. Semlor my goodness I don't even like almonds but these things are amazing. I found out just a couple days ago eating them in a bowl of varm mjölk is a thing too? They're already so messy to eat but that sounds too good to not try
replies:
Looks like fastelavnsboller to me, at least that's what it's called in Danish

You're liable to get a fine for eating them too early - 
translation:
Too early Semla lead to fines
- JAN. 1952
Christmas is over, reasoned a couple of bakers in Malmö and consequently started making Semla, but they shouldn't have done that. When the police saw the buns in the windows, they reported the manufacturers, who are facing fines.
replies:
I went to Stockholm several years back in the summer and went to a place asking for these and they laughed in our faces. Then they called their co-workers from the back and told them to come out here and see the people asking for semla. Then they all collectively laughed and explained that it's seasonal.

Oh, my sweet Lord.
Yes, I'll take 2 dozen. Don't judge me.
Reminds me of Paris Brest.

Eating Semla outside of Fettisdagen is highly unethical!
.. and I'm the kind of sinner that will absolutely buy Kanelbullesemla as soon as it appears in the stores in the beginning of January.
