There's no Swedish rats in Sweden or Chinese food in China
either. We do have Hawaiian Sweet Rolls in Hawaii but that's
only because that product is baked in California and shipped
over here. The proper name is Portuguese sweet bread. The proper
name for Canadian bacon would be "Canadian ham" or even better,
"ham roll."

It's got a nice brioche-like texture!

I'll try making some. The Portuguese sweet bread I'm used to has a
softer texture so some mashed potato is going into the dough. Da
Portuguese used to make sweet bread for Easter but the Hawaiians
would make and eat it all the time. The old Portuguese ladies would
add potatoes to the dough but the modern bakers don't seem to do
that. They also add some lemon rind to the bread but that seems
optional these days.

I wonder if the Tristan da Cunhaians are also partial to Portuguese
sweet bread or if they prefer Spanish sweet bread. And then there are
the Svalbardanians. Norwegian sweet bread perhaps?

No they're on the German sweet bread:

Doing it in a pretzel braid = brilliant!
