For the first time in Thailand “Semla” the killer of a Swedish King
Killed by a sweet
It’s dinner time at the royal castle in Sweden, February 12th, 1771. King Adolf Frederick of Sweden had just indulged in a meal consisting of lobster, caviar, smoked herring, boiled meat, sauerkraut and turnip. For dessert he had no less than 14 servings of semla. A few hours later he died of a stroke. Semla was the King's favorite dessert so he died happy, or so the story goes.
