Spice level warning — Semla is not what I expected
I underestimated Semla. The cream-enriched and comforting description didn't prepare me for the reality. allspice brings a heat or pungency that builds steadily rather than hitting upfront. By halfway through I was sweating but couldn't stop eating.
the smörgåsbord tradition of abundant cold dishes influenced buffet culture worldwide. The a Noma-influenced Nordic restaurant setting means locals eat this with ease while visitors like me reach for water. light lager cut through it better than water would have. Don't order the mild version out of caution — the full version is the point. I'd go back. Three stars only because I wasn't warned.
