#1 Buy Danish products!

Posted by Zenster 2006-09-10 01:35|| 2006-09-10 01:35|| Front Page Top

#2 The problem is that I can't buy anything Danish at local Walmart in an Okie small town, except danishes which does not count and a can of Danish cookies. I'd buy a Tuborg case without a second thought on a regular basis and cheese too. I am almost sure there would be no loss if Danes figured out how to supply US market.

#3 I am almost sure there would be no loss if Danes figured out how to supply US market.

Look for Carlsberg beer, including their "Elephant" malt liquor. It is more widely distributed than Tuborg. Aalborg aquavit should be carried at any well-stocked liquor store. Many of the Haribo gummi candies are made in Denmark but check the label because they are also manufactured in Germany. The Rosenborg label of blue cheese is pretty well distributed as are Plumrose canned hams and other meat products. Many stores also stock Danish feta cheese but you'll probably have to ask in order to make sure.

#5 It would help if a pound of Danish butter didn't cost like $8, compared to $3.50 for Landolakes.

#6 Heck yeah a pound of Danish butter costs $8.00. Taxes are high in Denmark. How else could the Danes afford to pay fifth column muzzies their welfare benefits (aka jizya)?

#12 The same cartoons that everyone of the major American media & BBC refused to show. The cowards will be the death of us all.

By the way I have no idea why but Danish butter tastes better. I'm guessing the lack of chemicals.

#13 My weakness is the butter cookies, followed by a couple of Carlsbergs to wash it down. Thanks for the list. Danes are brave, proud allies willing to squash the Muzzies whenever necessary. We need more like them.

#15 Zenster, you'd drink Elephant?

I've had it and it's an all right representative of what malt liquor is supposed to be. I'm more of a Tuborg man myself, dry lagers and Pilseners are the ticket for me. Sadly, here in American you cannot get the black and gold label special Carlsberg Master Brew at a whopping 10.60% alcohol content. A few of those will put your pud in the mud. Fortunately, American microbrewers have come online with some truly superb beers.

By the way I have no idea why but Danish butter tastes better.

Three words: Grass Fed Cows. Denmark's pastures are legendary. If you have a Nordic Delicatessen near you, please try such rare cheeses as Tybo (like a tangy Monterey Jack), Elbo or a fantastic Ambassadeur grade (high butterfat) Esrom. For those of you who love stinky cheeses, Gammal Ost (literally "old cheese") will cure your jones.

I've also left out Peter Heering's "Cherry Herring" a delightful cherry liqueur that is the perfect aperitif or post-prandial toss-off.

There is also the classic Gamal Dansk (literally "Old Danish") herbal liqueur that probably predates the German ~~mouthwash~~ Jagermeister bitters by several centuries.

The real pity is that you cannot get the famous skinny long Danish hot dog called, "rød pølse" (red sausage), over here in America. The high red dye content is not allowed. At Copenhagen airport, people literally run out of the terminal and straight to the nearest street stand (there's one on almost every corner in Copenhagen), to snarf a few of these puppies. I'm salivating as I type about them.

The Alpha Senap mustard served with them is highly addictive in and of itself. Blend equal parts of brown Morehouse and Colman's English mustards for a close idea. Add sugar if your a fan of the sweet version. The above mustard on a Casper's hot dog is as close as you can get to the real thing. A fine German-style veal frankfurter can be substituted, the bottled Meica brand from Germany is a close second.

Finally, for the real hard core types, there is Danish licorice. Unlike American or British licorices, the Danes add a dose of ammonium chloride to their ebon confections. This gives it a salty flavor that is highly addictive. Some German and Dutch licorices follow this tradition as well. Haribo Super Piratos are a fine example of this style. Lagerman also makes many fine types as well. If you want to sample what these taste like, buy the more widely distributed red box of Swedish made Läkerol Salmiak Pastilles. "Salmiak" is Nordic for "sal ammoniac" or ammonium chloride. The Danes achieve endless taste variations through the skillful addition of other flavorings like menthol, eucalyptus oil, molasses, even hot peppers plus various alternative sugars or syrups. Unlike American licorice, they use gelatin or cornstarch as binders instead of the coarse wheat flour that is so common over here. The result is superb candies unrivaled anywhere on earth.

Don't like licorice? Take heart in what Ralph Waldo Emerson said;

"Licorice is the liver of candies."

You love it or you hate it. There's usually no middle ground.

In metropolitan Copenhagen there are Lakrids Boutiques (Licorice Boutiques) that stock almot 200 different types of black licorice (Remember, there is no such thing as "red" licorice.). A measure of how popular licorice is with Danes is that Denmark consumes more licorice than chocolate. Of course, the EU, in its infinite ~~stupidity~~ wisdom has told Denmark that they cannot manufacture so much licorice because no other European countries match their consumption rates. Idiots!

Thanks for the list.

My pleasure.

#16 The BBC article is more DHIMMI agitprop.

The Danes had a good year for agricultural exports. This information is deliberatly ommited in order to aid thier jihadist allies.

The BBC is your enemy. Tell everyone you know.

#17 I personally enjoy the BBC. It's like being back in college and sitting an exam with all the WRONG answers handed to you as you walk in.
