In Sweden there is a pastry - a cream-filled roll - that is traditionally eaten during Lent. It is called a "semla." I am curious as to the etymology of this word. Replies by mail, please; no diatribes about excessively fatty diets, eating luxury foods while the world starves, etc. Thanks! -- Matt Fichtenbaum "This week only, all our fiber-fill jackets are marked down!"
