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?

[โ€“] ploot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 34 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (2 children)

Yes. And the language is Danish.

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

[โ€“] frank@sopuli.xyz 4 points 4 months ago (1 children)

.... 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.โ€ฆ Okay I'll have the Danish thing"

[โ€“] CreatingMachines@fedia.io 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

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

[โ€“] Jax@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Dane-ish, although the pattern doesn't really apply to the Brittish. Britons - Brittish - idk man language is hard

[โ€“] atro_city@fedia.io 26 points 4 months ago (2 children)

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

[โ€“] expatriado@lemmy.world 6 points 4 months ago (2 children)

i would place my bet on Danish

Denmarkalians.

[โ€“] CreatingMachines@fedia.io 1 points 4 months ago

Yep, never really thought further than that.

[โ€“] expatriado@lemmy.world 16 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Certainly not toys.
