Fettisdagen (Fat Tusesday[1]) is the Tuesday after the Quinquagesima and the last day before the Christian feast; the day between the Blue Monday, and the Ash Wednesday. Because it is the last day before the Easter Feast, it has created a tradition to eat buns, so called "fastlagsbullar" or "fettisdagsbullar" (Fat Tuesday Buns). The day is also called "White Tuesday" since the buns were made out of white flour.
The day is called "Mardi Gras" in France. The day is called "fastlagstisdag" in Swedish Finland.
