'''Fettisdagen''' (''The Fat Tuesday'') is the [[Swedish language|Swedish]] name for the Tuesday after the [[Quinquagesima]] and the day between [[Shrove Monday]] and [[Ash Wednesday]]. Because it is the last day before the [[Lent]]en [[Fasting|fast]], a tradition has developed of eating buns, called "fastlagsbullar", "fettisdagsbullar" (Fat Tuesday Buns) or "[[semla]]". The day is also called "White Tuesday" because the buns are made out of white flour.

The day is called "[[Mardi Gras]]" in [[France]], "laskiainen" in [[Finland]], and "Fastelavn" in [[Denmark]]. In the [[United Kingdom|UK]] it is known as [[Shrove Tuesday]] or Pancake Day.
