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?

[-] ploot 32 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Yes. And the language is Danish.

.... 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.… Okay I'll have the Danish thing"

[-] danekrae@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

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

[-] CreatingMachines@fedia.io 1 points 2 days ago

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

[-] atro_city@fedia.io 25 points 2 days ago

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

[-] Rentlar@lemmy.ca 10 points 2 days ago
[-] CreatingMachines@fedia.io 2 points 2 days ago

Good enough for me! (not from Denmark btw)

[-] expatriado@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

i would place my bet on Danish

[-] miss_demeanour@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 days ago

Denmarkalians.

[-] CreatingMachines@fedia.io 1 points 2 days ago

Yep, never really thought further than that.

[-] expatriado@lemmy.world 15 points 2 days ago

yes, and their dogs are great

[-] miss_demeanour@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 days ago

Certainly not toys.
