today I learned that the Sunday before Shrove Tuesday used to be called köttsöndag (lit. meat Sunday but imo it sounds so much more grotesque in Swedish), and that the traditional activities were eating meat and driving around on kicksleds

#and while writing this i discovered that there's the equivalent English name pork Sunday which makes sense #but you can't beat köttsöndag #i wanna eat meat and drive a kicksled #preferably at the same time #posting a lot tonight i guess. hello. it's bedtime soon.#i think the grotesque feeling might be because kött in my mind is somewhere between meat and flesh #and flesh is inherently more grotesque than meat
