Hi Anna,
Is it really a semla if it has vanilla cream on it instead of almond paste?
Magnus
Hey Magnus! Yes you, that is a difficult question. Now there are so many versions of rolls that it’s hard to know what to like about this one. But almond mass should probably be included in a real semla, I personally think. At the same time, it’s good that there is also an opportunity for those who can’t stand almonds to celebrate Fat Day!
For Alvedon etc. there are significantly more emergency medicines that have run out. E.g. diabetes medicine that is prescribed to obese people and has therefore run out for those of us who cannot take other medicines than just that.
Monica
Hi Monica!
It is true that there is also a shortage of diabetes medicine. We wrote an article about this a few weeks ago. You can read it here.
Why doesn’t the media write about the lack of antipyretics for children, in liquid form that so many children depend on when they are sick? It’s crazy that a country like Sweden has it as a deficiency.
Alvedon etc
Hello! Yeah, it’s not fun at all. We have written about the shortage here, which affects the whole of Europe. We have also interviewed a doctor about what to do in certain cases if you need to give your child a fever reducer here.
Is it called Australian? I thought it was called Australian…
Marie
Hi Marie! I’m also team Australian, but see on SAOL that both variants work.
Hi, why is nothing written about ev. Electricity support for electricity area 1 and 2 ? Are the people in Norrland exempted by this government?
Elin
Hi Elin! Ebba Busch commented on this in SVT’s Nyhetsmorgon during the morning. It is planned later, and we will soon have an article out about it, keep an eye on the site!
