Grattis till alla pappor! The second Sunday of November is Father’s Day (Fars Dag<\/strong>) \u00a0in Sweden and has been so since the 1931. Father\u2019s Day in Sweden was initially celebrated in June, but then various commercial organizations wanted it moved, so it wouldn\u2019t compete with Mother\u2019s Day (Mors dag<\/strong>) in May. So Daddy’s day is now officially in November, when everyone is busy thinking about Christmas gifts…<\/p>\n

As in all over the world, it’s more\u00a0Retailer’s Day\u00a0that\u00a0Father’s Day,\u00a0but nevertheless,\u00a0\u00a0most people celebrate Father’s and Mother’s Day in Sweden in one way or another.\u00a0With breakfast in bed, with cake, with\u00a0cards, with small gifts…\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0A typical Father’s Day present would most definitely be a tie. Or a pair of socks.\u00a0Possibly a shirt is he’s been real\u00a0good. \u00a0The best present I ever bought my dad was a pepper pott. It had a P written on it, which in my world was P for Pappa (Daddy<\/strong>), not Pepper…<\/p>\n

I won’t be seeing my dad on Sunday unfortunately, but my sister has promised to make him a cake from us. It’s a traditional Swedish summer cake, but it works equally as good in November with frozen Strawberries. And – it’s easy as pie. Just take a meringue base, mix vanilla ice cream, whipped cream and with strawberries and spread the mix over the meringue. Put the other meringue on top\u00a0and cover the whole thing with whipped cream. Decorate with berries and ta da! The best cake in the world is ready to serve. Better then a tie, yummier than socks!<\/p>\n
