We also had Findus småköttbullar and knäckebröd that we bought here in Malta. Kalle found som kind of sausage that looked like prinskorv, but it didn’t [...]

I’m drinking tea with honey now and I hope I [...]

A few weeks ago I participated in a vote on which praline I like best in the Aladdin-box. I have several favourites but the one I finally voted for was the egg liqueur praline.
