This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.234.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:36, 2 January 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Risalamande''' (((IPA-da|ˌri:salaˈmɑŋ)) also spelled as ((lang|fr|ris à l'amande))) is a traditional Danish dessert served at [[Christmas dinner]] and julefrokost (Christmas lunch). It is made of [[rice pudding]] mixed with [[whipped cream]], sugar, [[vanilla]], and chopped [[almond]]s. It is served cold with either warm or cold [[cherry]] sauce (''kirsebærsovs'').

==Etymology==
((Wiktionary))
The name is based on [[French language|French]] ((lang|fr|riz à l'amande)) meaning ((gloss|rice with almonds)), although the dessert has a Danish origin. Today ''risalamande'' is the spelling authorized by the [[Dansk Sprognævn|Danish Language Council]].<ref>[http://ordnet.dk/ddo/ordbog?query=risalamande Den Danske Ordbog, ''risalamande'' entry], retrieved 25 December 2010</ref>

==History==
Risalamande was clearly inspired by the classical French dessert of [[riz à l'impératrice]] (empress rice) which is more solid, shaped in moulds and decorated with [[raspberry]] [[Fruit preserves#Jelly|jelly]].

Risalamande was created in the late 19th century. It gained popularity when [[rice pudding]] became more common. Until then rice pudding had been an exclusive dish, requiring two expensive, imported ingredients: almonds and cinnamon.

After [[World War II]], risalamande experienced an increase in popularity, being touted as a "savings" dessert: adding whipped cream (which was easily available) to the still fairly expensive rice would make the rice last longer. In order to minimize costs, risalamande was frequently made without almonds during this time, too.((Citation needed|date=December 2010))

==Use in Christmas tradition==
Simple rice pudding (''risengrød'') can be served all year in Denmark, but is also often seen as a Christmas dish. It is served hot and topped with cinnamon and butter, often along with [[malt beer]] (''hvidtøl'').

[[File:Risalamande.jpg|thumb|A bowl of rice pudding.]]

Some families make a large batch of rice pudding for dinner on December 23 (((lang|da|lillejuleaften)) meaning ((gloss|Little Christmas Eve))) and keep a part of it for preparing risalamande as a dessert after the big [[Christmas dinner]]. Others eat hot rice pudding as part of the Christmas dinner, usually as a starter and more rarely as a dessert. This is often regarded as an older tradition than the risalamande.

According to tradition, hot rice pudding is also the dish eaten by ''[[nisse (folklore)|nisser]]'', the Christmas elfs, which is common in other Nordic countries too. As such, children may put out a bowl of rice pudding, and if eaten (possibly by a cat, or more often, the parents), it will demonstrate the existence of the ''nisse''. This usage is derived from the ancient belief in [[household deity|house spirits]].

On Christmas Eve, a whole almond is added to the dessert, and the person who finds it wins a small prize such as a [[marzipan pig]], a chocolate heart or a small board game.<ref>[http://www.family-christmas-traditions.com/Danish-Christmas-traditions.html Danish Christmas Traditions] ((webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091204150304/http://www.family-christmas-traditions.com/Danish-Christmas-traditions.html |date=2009-12-04 )). Retrieved 25 July 2009.</ref> The finder may conceal their discovery as long as possible, so that the rest of the partygoers are forced to eat the entire dish of risalamande, even after they have already devoured a large [[Christmas dinner]].

== In Sweden, Finland, and Norway ==

In [[Sweden]], this dish is called ''ris à la [[Malta]]'', which is a corruption of the Danish name.((citation needed|date=December 2019)) Typically it is made of chilled leftover rice pudding, whipped cream, sugar and vanilla, with or without almonds. By tradition, the person finding a hidden almond in the dessert is expected to get married before the next Christmas. A variety containing diced oranges is called ''apelsinris''. The dish is mostly served with either a smooth [[Squash (drink)|cordial]], jam or semi-thawed frozen berries.

In [[Finland]], this dish is called ''[[Maltan]] riisi'', 
Typically it is made of chilled leftover rice pudding, whipped cream, sugar and vanilla, with or without almonds. By tradition, the person finding a hidden almond in the dessert is very lucky whole year. 
In Finland, it can be served with puree made of [[raspberry]] (or even [[lingonberry]]) or raisin [[compote]].

[[Norway|Norwegians]] have a similar dish called ((lang|no|riskrem)) ((gloss|rice cream)) and, as in Denmark, the person finding a hidden almond in the dessert wins a ''mandelgave'' ([[almond present]]) in the form of a marzipan pig or the like. The dessert may contain almonds for flavour, but mostly chopped on top as decoration. In Norway, the sauce is also normally made of [[raspberry]] (or even [[strawberry]]) rather than cherry.

== Risifrutti ==

((Further|Rice pudding#Nordic countries))

Risifrutti is a ready-to-eat snack product inspired by risalamande, sold in the Nordic countries since 1993.<ref>((Cite web|url=http://www.risifrutti.com/?id=161|title=Risifrutti|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180715011412/http://www.risifrutti.com/?id=161|archive-date=15 July 2018))</ref> Various sauces exist, such as strawberry, cherry, blueberry, and raspberry.

However, ready-to-eat products marketed as risalamande (and more similar to the actual dessert) also exist.
