tobacco flavoured gum?? and other products

 Goteborgs Rape - what a name!!!

Smokeless tobacco is known in Sweden as Snus.

"Snus (pronounced 'snuz') is a sweet-sized pouch like a teabag that a user places under the lip. It delivers the nicotine hit in roughly a minute - around nine times slower than a cigarette. In Sweden, snus outsells cigarette"

Tastes like tobacco flavoured gum... BLERG. And you place it under your lip which kinda reminds me of having a fat lip. BUT in Sweden this stuff is popular. Maybe people don't want to venture out in the snow to smoke?

 Swedish Waffles

Known in Sweden as Svenska våfflor. Delicious with cream and jam nom nom nom. And in Sweden they have a whole day to eat them. March 25th is known as 'Lady Day' which is exactly nine months before Christmas. In Sweden, this day is called Våffeldagen and also marks the beginning of Spring... 

because of a 

Great big mistake....

The waffle tradition apparently started due to a mispronunciation of the name for Annunciation Day. The day was originally known as or “Vårfrudagen” (or lady day) and was easily confused with Våffeldagen (waffle day)! So basically delicious waffles were eaten due to somebody mistaking the true tradition of lady day!

  I'm not complaining

 

Swedish cake

A Swiss roll in Sweden is called a rulltårta (roll-cake). It is commonly served with coffee... which by the way is HUGE here. They loveeeee coffee! At Josh's work they have coffee breaks every couple of hours and this stuff is strong!
