Croissants were created by the Albanians (or was that Armenians) as a way of showing contempt for the moslems of the ottoman empire. The cresent shape being eaten was a symbolic ottomon symbol being destroyed.
Just an FYI for all.
bump for publicity
Taeler du Dansk?
The Danes take their pigs seriously. The Danish Landrace breed was bred to have an extra vertebra (and therefore, 2 extra pork chops per pig!!)

Big Bump for this thread...

Fantastic stuff, indeed...
You have to give the Danes a lot of credit, they have guts, like their viking forebears. They defied Hitler and saved a lot of their Jews. It's the stuff of legend, but when the Nazi occupiers ordered all Danish Jews to wear a yellow star, Denmark's Queen put one on, and the next day, every Dane was wearing the star.
We should all take up pipe smoking in honor of the Danes. Denmark is the pipesmoking capital of the world, with more pipesmokers per capita than any other country. Their tobacco tends to be overly flavored with artificial flavoring, but they make some fabulous pipes.
At the lower end is Stanwell and Nording. For those with extra money to spend, maybe lots of extra money to spend, there's Peter Heeschen, Jess Chonowitch (yes, he's a Dane) Teddy Knudson, Tomas Eltang, and a host of others.
Wasn't that awesome? I remember my mother telling me about that.
Danes rock BUMP.
Now, even more delicious!
Any Danish wine.
I think that this is a worthy idea, and I made purchases of some Danish food items to this end. If we can get even a small amount of Americans to follow suit, then I think that would help redress the losses that Danish companies are seeing in the Mideast.
