Laskiaispulla

/LAH-skee-ah-ees-POO-laht/
[Finnish] plural Laskiaispullat

"Shrove Tuesday buns." Where we in the United Kingdom celebrate the beginning of Lent by eating pancakes, the Finns spend the day outdoors, tradionally skiing or going for a sleigh-ride, and eat a robust pea soup and sweet buns flavoured with cardamom and made with yeast and filled with almond paste and whipped cream.
