Greetings from Denmark! I've bought a Canadian whiskey to see if it's possible to make good cocktails with in place of Bourbon. That is probably my most difficult boycott of them all... Man's gotta have his alcohol.

Are...the citizens of Denmark referred to as Danes?

[โ€“] [email protected] 34 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (2 children)

Yes. And the language is Danish.

IIRC it was a baker couple from Wien (Vienna), that moved to Denmark and started making them. So Danes actually call danish pastry wienerbrรธd, meaning "Viennese bread".

.... To English speakers. We call all the different ones by their different names here

I think "Danish" is just people saying "wtf I can't pronounce Festilavnsbolle.โ€ฆ Okay I'll have the Danish thing"

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Oh I see. I thought the people were Danish, and I never really thought about the name of their language.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Dane-ish, although the pattern doesn't really apply to the Brittish. Britons - Brittish - idk man language is hard

[โ€“] [email protected] 26 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

I'm curious what you expected them to be referred to as.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 3 weeks ago

Good enough for me! (not from Denmark btw)

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

i would place my bet on Danish

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 3 weeks ago

Denmarkalians.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 3 weeks ago

Yep, never really thought further than that.

[โ€“] [email protected] 16 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 3 weeks ago

Certainly not toys.
