As a half-Swede, Danish cooking sounds good to me! (And I LOVE pickled
beets!)

Does it have the recipe for those round donuts called (I'm going to
slaughter this) Obeskivers?

<Barb slides into research mode> Are they for canning? Would you share
the recipe here? I'm always looking for a recommendation for pickled
boiled dirt chunks as a state fair possibility. I don't eat them but
I'd like to see the recipe and the particulars. If you won't post it
here, would you email it to me, please? Put a dot between my first and
last names to avoid earthlink's spam filter.
Thanks. <research mode off> Bleah! Gack!

I am neither Swedish nor Danisah and I love pickled beets. They are common
as a winter addition in French-Canadian cuisine. Northern European, I
suspect, as we also have fricadelles in our repertoire of national dishes.
Btw, I wouldn't go west of Montreal and expect a restaurant to serve that
although I've heard there was one in Vancouver on Commercial.

Aw, Geez Barb, Miz Anne and I are having tuna salad on lettuce for lunch
today with pickled dirt chunks on the side. Makes an excellent Lenten
dish, particularly for those who need to be humbled a bit. <VBG>

Danish cooking is good. The first time I went there I read a number of
travel books that indicated that Danish cooking is rather bland, mostly
meat and potatoes. I was delighted to discover that Danish food is very
tasty. While it may not have a lot of fancy sauces and herbs, it seems
to make the best of basic but high quality ingredients. Their pastries
are exceptionally good. I also enjoyed lots of good food in Sweden last
summer, and pastries every bit as good as the Danes.
