Lovely, pretty, flat, stylish, delicious, wet, funky as hell Denmark.
My Scandiman is Danish so we visit Denmark almost every year to catch up with family and friends.
Once I got over my inital disappointment that Denmark is as flat as a bloody pancake (Oh Scandinavia, ski holidays are part of the deal, yes I’ll go on a date with this dude… not!) I came to love this pretty country.
What Denmark lacks in mountains it certainly makes up for in style, food and homeware shops. They also make the funkiest retro-inspired children’s clothes you have ever seen, like these right here.
They also pack a pretty mean hotdog, in fact I have never seen so many variations on a dawg in my life. Hotdog kiosks are dotted everywhere and we take full advantage of them each time we go.
In fact the food in Denmark is pretty awesome full stop and no-one knows how to make smorgasbord like a Dane!
Ok, I suppose there’s a lot more to Denmark than processed meat and sexy furniture, but these really are the most important features… 😉
So forget the vikings, the little Mermaid, Kronborg, Carlsberg, Hans Christian Anderson, schnapps, the oldest flag in the world, just eat processed meat and lust over Arne Jacobsen chairs, just like me!
There you have it… Denmark on a plate, or rather stuffed inside a hotdog bun, whatever floats your boat huh!
Kæmpe pølse… BIG Dawg!
Krutter – THE funkiest children’s clothes shop like, ever…
Legoland lives here
Lunch… which seems to be always with beer and always with rye bread. Fab!
Flødebolle, balls of fluffy meringue, dipped in chocolate and decorated. Sigh…
Rødpølser – over 100 million consumed daily in Denmark!
Pretty Danish thatched cottages, they are everywhere!
What no snow? Bloody swizz… humph!
What does D mean to you today… tell me in the comments, go on… x
Losing My Lemons 
Reading your post reminds me of my childhood!
Hi. I stopped in from Blogging A to Z. What an interesting post. I have to confess to not having -much- any experience with Danish culture, and I loved learning more. For me, today, D is for Down syndrome.
Hi, thanks for dropping by and commenting! 🙂 How great is the challenge huh!
So glad you enjoyed and I must day Denmark is a wonderful country.
I’m popping over to check out your blog now

Denmark has no mountains??!! Ask Tom about Jan Molby!!
No, no mountains at all, crap innit!
Football… Denmark/Swansea all brothers in arms now eh!
Come on you Swaaaaaans LOL
Nice to see some pretty shots of Denmark after watching the last few seasons of the Killing where no-one turns on a light, not even in parliament! The thatched cottages look very chocolate boxy. It’s on my (very long) list of places I want to visit.
I have to say it is beautiful, it’s especially clean too! I love Copenhagen, although I must say The Little Mermaid was pretty crap! They also drink a lot of beer there, which is pretty marvellous 🙂
What’s the Killing, never heard of that one???
What’s The Killing? What’s The bloody Killing? Only the best thriller detective series every invented. However, it is in Denmark, they all speak Danish (funny that), Denmark appears to be grey, drizzly and depressing and dark always, and because it is all subtitles you have to watch it in complete silence on your own because as soon as someone distracts you, you’ve lost the plot! Sounds awful, actually is amazing. Get the box set, you’ll love it xx As an aside – about 93 countries bought the series and it was a massive hit. The Americans remade it because they couldn’t be bothered to read the subtitles and it flopped. Just saying.
Ros are you shouting at me?
LOL I can hear your voice rising with each sentence! Ok, Ok… I’m going to order it and see what all the fuss is about, Tom will love it I’m sure.
Denmark isn’t dreary or depressing at all! It’s hip, colourful, really clean, organised and green. It’s really bloody flat though!
Funny Ros, brilliant! LOL xxx
