The Danes also have their national dish. I don't have Danish vowels on my keyboard, so I can't spell it precisely here, but the pronunciation is something like "Roth-groll-meth-flootheh", with all the "th's" sounding like the "th" in our word "the"; it's strawberries cooked in a potato-starch gruel, accompanied with a bit of thick cream. While somewhat bland, the taste is not bad; but it has the exact appearance and texture of bloody mucous. The Danes get a big kick out of watching foreigners try to eat it. They also serve, at breakfast, a cheese that has the exact odor of human excrement.

That would be Rødgrød med fløde.

If you want to hear a Danish girl pronouncing that, click here and then on the little box with "Rødgrød med fløde" in blue letters.

IIRC the Danes like to sing a parody of the British national anthem by substituting Rødgrød med fløde for "God save our gracious Queen."
