Fika Time

May 29, 2012

American writer Bill Bryson in his book Notes from a Small Island found it hilarious when he observed British people about to eat cake. Usually it entailed a ritual involving denial, guilt, reluctant acceptance  followed by consumption in a glow of naughtiness and a cry of  ”ooooo I shouldn’t really”. In Sweden there is no such guilt. They engage in the daily ritual of Fika – stopping work and taking coffee and a cake, often a cinnamon roll, with a friend.

No if’s, no but’s, pure pleasure.

Invite a friend for a Fika date today and just enjoy it.
