Should we start a FR "Buy Danish" campaign?

John Zimmerman is right. The Muslim countries have chosen to pressure liberal little Denmark in order to teach the media and governments, which stand by them, a lesson which does not bode well for free speech or satire. Kuwait has joined the Saudi boycott (the Saudi market alone is worth 1.2 billion) and I suspect the rest will follow. So, here is a plea from my Danish friends:

"If you Americans look with this great sympathy on our case, couldn't you then raise a consumer support of DK in the US? The opposite of a boycott. A movement of: "Buy Danish!" Please?

The slices are very thin and look like shingles. They stand up to being buttered and handled, and taste divine.



Not only that, most of them are free of sugar and have much more fiber than our typically unhealthy American white breads. They are called Rugbrod, mainly made of Rye.

Yup, Wisconsin too. I would suggest buying some Danish kringle, but that's all made here. Oh, heck. Buy some anyways. It's good.

Rød Grød med Fløde På

This is a language test. If you can pronounce this phrase in the proper guteral form, A Carlsberg is for you. Please remember the r is deep in your throat, the d has a th sound and the ø is sort of oo.


My American wife has earned that Carlsberg beer, and she especially likes the Carlsberg Elephant sent 2nd day air!!!

The "no cholesterol" Dansk cookies were not so hot, but the regular kind were very good.


They are not DBC, meaning Danish BUTTER Cookies. Because cholesterol free has no butter in, which gives the traditional delicious flavor being DBC!!!

I can highly recommend Ecco shoes. Most comfortable shoes I own.

How do Ecco shoes compare to Birkenstocks? I love my Birkies; they are the most comfortable I've ever owned, but I could be persuaded to try the Eccos!

Havarti is a smooth, mild cheese. It's not as creamy as brie, but not as firm as gouda.

We have a LEGO shop in a local Mall, and they have BINS of different sizes in some of the most fabulous colors! Too bad our kids have mostly outgrown them. Except once, a year or two ago, our #1 son (who was 24 at the time) got the box of Legos and brought them down to the basement so he and his friends (all in their early 20's) could build stuff with them.

A great toy!

Denmark, we're with you. ping for danish support. Also, how about European Union, Britain, Canada, US and Australia refuse to sell to Muslim countries the goods that they previous obtained from Denmark. Like medical supplies, for one example?

Dates and hearts of palm also mainly come from Syria and Jordan

I just bought dates from Sam's Club. They came from California.

Nu har det været snart 45 år siden jeg boede i Danmark.(1960-63) Jeg var ikke født i landet men virkelig elsker alt Dansk. En gang i mellem er det godt at tale Dansk med en Dansker. Mange tak.

If you are in the neighborhood of Southern Utah near Kanab, that is where I am. Maynard Dixon Country

There is nothing better than a Carlsberg as we wait for the beauty to develop in that country.
