Well, there are many reasons, but this Pistaschbulle is certainly one of them. Bullar is a Swedish pastry similar to a cinnamon bun. The Pistaschbulle has a center of pistachio-flavored/colored custard. Very snacky! There are other tempting morsels in the Swedish dessert arsenal with which I will taunt you in the future.Now, in Sweden, these bullar delectables are usually consumed during fika. Fika is like a social coffee break. It is also a verb, as in "to fika" - to take a coffee break and consume goodness. Not being a coffee drinker, I may be missing out on the fringe benefits of this fika thing. But, I can have only so many vices. Maybe I can get away with substituting hot chocolate (or tea) for coffee? To fika or not to fika...that is the question.
