i think its funny, cause in swedish (and danish to i think?) a "danish" is called "wienerbröd" which pretty much means "bread from Vienna"... really confusing!!! |
If you had read the link I gave, you would know the answer to the question. And even have read a little about how those crazy Austrians are taking credit for the invention.
In Denmark we also have something called a French bread, and you can't get those in France. Foodnames are weird. |

Oh i didnt bother to read it, simply because i thought it was only a reference to your claim that danishes are a speciality of denmark. The article doesnt say that danishes are from denmark tho, it only says that danishes is a danish speciality, which is true. You have lots of them there, compared to for example Sweden ;)
well, at least in one way danishes are better than swedes :clown:
Edit:
Found a "complete" history of the danish:

You mean the ability to follow a link and read it rather than posting something redundant? Yeah, I guess we're pretty adept at that in Denmark.
Don't feel bad about screwing up, though. It can be a little tricky, but with perseverance and some luck, you might get it right some day.:) |

I'm actually taking bets right now on when Smokeape will either post something sensible in the PDD or something that doesn't make him look like a complete idiotic cnut
Tomorrow - 1,000,000/1
This week - 10,000/1
This year - 1,000/1
This milienium - 100/1
Never - 10000000000000/1 (I cant lose!!) |

I haven't read all the posts, but this part bothered me:
| quote: | | and its CHIPS FFS not fries, thats what gay french and yanks eat ITS CHIPS |
It's still being debated wether fries were invented in belgium or france, but regardless, in both countries they are called frites (pommes frites, patates frites, or other variations) - which directly translates as fries.
As for chips, they were invented in New York - Making the American name the official one.
You lose :tongue3 |

Then let me clear that up for you, it was invented around Liège, Belgium by some guy called 'Fritz'.
At least that's what I heard, & it came from a professor (granted, a Belgian Professor) |

Wrong, British chips (you call em chips, and our chips way pre-date our invention of crisps) pre-date the "invention" of chips by Crum and his "invention" already existed here (funnily enough the yank site which told me that still says he invented it... denial lovely thing) ......
| quote: | Where Was the Potato Chip Invented? - It is important to keep in mind that the idea of frying potatoes was a normal part of American cooking by the middle 1850s when the potato chip first appears. The "History of the French Fry" [http://www.select-ware.com/fries/docs/history.html ] credits Thomas Jefferson with bringing the idea from France in the "late 1700s." From the descriptions of what George Crum did with the sliced potatoes, they must have been sliced across the narrow axis of the potato and fried. They were also eaten with a fork at that time. So it is certain that restaurants all over the country were serving fried potatoes but only at the Moon Lake Lodge in Saratoga Springs, NY, did a chef slice them thin enough that they became something different.
When you consider how simple the idea of a potato chip is, the a possibility of independent invention arises. There is good evidence that something very much like a potato chip was common enough in England to be included in a cookbook. In 1854 in Soyer's Shilling Cookery, was a recipe for fried potatoes that required them to be cut very thin, fried in about two inches of fat and manipulated with a skimmer to keep them from sticking together (in Walton 1992, 24) |
chip meaning the yank term, what we call crisps
>LINK<
You lose!
And in conclusion if you've every eaten crisps (chips for the yanks) you've eaten British food. :toothless |
