Fat Tuesday in Sweden, "Fettisdag", is by tradition a day to eat semla - a sugary pastry filled with almond paste and cream.
With everything that we have learned about the connection between health and fat in the new millenium, I say: reclaim the FAT in Fat Tuesday! Let this day be about health - about (good) fat as it is supposed to, rather than sugar which makes us sick. I'll celebrate with a shot of coconut oil. Who's with me? ;)
