Goshen buns

Declined
I looked up Gosen, and it is found in the bible by the name of Goshen in English (genesis 45:10). Maybe "Goshen buns" would be fitting? That is my best guess anyways.

Peer comment(s):
neutral trsk2000 (X) : I thought of this too, but the Swedish name is idiomatic and I do not think it translates directly into English that way

disagree Charles Ek : No English speaker would recognize "Goshen buns", IMO. There are lots of uses of the familiar "cinnamon buns" for "kanelbullar", but I think this one is best left untranslated, with a parenthetical "(Swedish cardamom buns)".
