Budapest Roll was "created by Swedish chef Ingvar Strid in the 1950's, is a delicious meringue hazelnut roll filled with whipped cream and mandarin oranges". It's Manuela's favourite cake and we had it twice. When I lived in Berlin was common to have a glass of bubbly when someone arrived, and I always had a black bottle of Freixenet in the fridge. It was my favourite bubbly, so we had to get some

Daim is a Swedish chocolate candy,
crunchy almond caramel covered in milk chocolate. There are not many almonds in it, and I can eat them. I still buy them when I go to IKEA in Melbourne. But I was surprised to see you could get Daim flavoured coffee in the supermarket

Påsktårta means "Easter cake" but there are lots of different kinds. This one that looks like it has a chicken embedded in it!

During the breaks, kids come out and remove the snow from the ice. Sort of like ball boys but on ice. It's not really snow, it's shaved ice from the blades, but it makes it harder to skate on. A big machine also came out to smooth the ice completely before the third period. (Maybe also in the second period but we were out getting snacks)
