Wienerbrød etc.
Austin: The Danish, a light and tasty pastry, is known in Scandinavia as wienerbrød, or Viennese bread. Wienerbrød is really delicious here. Read more here:

Kern: the main ice cream flavours seems to be the normal vanilla, chocolate, strawberry. The Danes tends to have soft ice cream, gelato style. However, there are a few quirks. Kendrick and I bought some ice creams bars one day, mine was a chocolate covered ice cream bar, and Kendrick's looked like a dark chocolate version of mine, except that it was actually black licorice flavour. Ptooie! Also the other day we discovered that there was a hyldeblomst flavour - hyldeblomst means elder berry flower. There's a hyldeblomst drink that they serve in most cafes here that we love.
Wendy: well we certainly had no intention of bringing our appliances here just to throw some of them out, but the move order was so fast, and I had so much work to do at my old company, that we ended up cleaning out what we could and shipping the rest. Now that we've been through it once, we'll know for next time what to selectively target.
Christina: They don't have 3 ply in Denmark. We had to bring our own.
Karen: trenchcoat prejudice is a problem :)
HoTin: I get a lot of stares from children in Vedbæk, but other than that, I don't get any weird looks. Heck, I find myself staring at how blonde some people are!

You know, Danish Danishes sound much yummier than the North American versions. I bet the toppings are much higher quality than the gelatinous "jams" used here. I did not know the Scandinavian name was after Viennese bakers!
You have 3-ply in Canada?!?
