Burger King Denmark has released a unique burger based on a Nordic sweet treat semla, specifically for Lent.
The Semla Burger consists of a layer of marzipan cream, a brownie 'patty,' and a layer of whipped cream, all sandwiched between two halves of a pearl-sugar-topped cardamom bun.
The Semla Burger, which is marketed as a burger although it's pretty sugary, has caused a storm on social media.
Few commenters rebuked the creation, but many were intrigued.
Semla, also known as a Mardi Gras bun, is a dessert bun filled with almond paste and whipped cream topped with cardamom. Semlor (plural for semla) started as just a bun soaked in hot milk.
Semlor are typically eaten on Shrove Tuesday or Mardi Gras, which is the day before Ash Wednesday. The dessert was eaten every Tuesday between Shrove Tuesday and Easter. Now, semlor are enjoyed daily throughout Scandinavia and the world. An estimated six million semlor are sold on Fat Tuesday alone.
