Either you're not trying hard enough, or they've died out in the last 4 years..

Nyborg, 2003.

I've bought and consumed 2 on that list in Helsingor. The best Danish pastry is known locally as a Bakers Bad Eye - can't remember the Danish for it well enough to actually spell it correctly, but it's round with a big blob of yellow confectioners custard in the middle! As for the Carlsberg, I think there is a big Carlsberg bottling plant in Helsingor, though we mostly drank Tuborg while we were there.

try the tuborg elephant beer if you can still get it, supposed to be a lot stronger than the other beers, it was back in the early 80's at aeroskobing...
not sure if it is still available...


the pastries are great there, and most of the different breads, loved getting the bread early in the morning for breakfast whilst it was still hot, and then casting off to the next port... and the hot dogs from the mobile vans were nice also...

Thought the one on the right was a 'Baker's Ear'?

Agreed though - the Danish pastries in Denmark are second to none.

Claysie, me ol' floozie. Did you manage to get hold of Olga? You remember, she's the one that had long blond plats in her hair.

Oh yes. Sorry. You weren't looking at her hair. How silly of me to think otherwise?

And Funny Place, England...
...where it's now hardly possible to buy what even the Yanks know as an ''English muffin', only American muffins, which we used to know as cake.

That's lucky, then.

Still in Denmark, I can recommend Bornholm Blue (cheese) which is actually rather delicious.

Used to be Carlsberg Elephant beer named after the entrance to the brewery which has stone elephants either side.
Used to be a good trip round the Carlsberg brewery in Copenhagen free beer at the end as well..........
Carlsberg was run as a charitable trust with profits going to local projects.
Having said that I belive that Carlsberg might have been taken over by Tuborg a few years ago.

Why is it called Danish pastry?

There's a couple of Danes where I work - every new joiner's always confused: "Why do they call it Danish pastry?"

In a similar vein - French fries!
In northern France they're called "frites Belges" - Belgian chips

Or a French stick
Friend went to a bakery in France and asked for "un pain français" - his translation of a French stick.
Reply: "Ici monsier, tous les pains sont français" (Over here all bread's French bread)
Anyway, I thought it was funny.

Once, in a Cherbourg bakers, heard a Brit with an excruciating Brain Sewell accent (in French) ask for "Un pain longue, s'il vous plait." He had to repeat himself a couple of times, coz the boulanger wasn't used to hearing words strained through a mouthful of plums and silver spoons.

Oh how we chortled.
