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?

[–] SorteKanin@feddit.dk 2 points 10 hours ago

What did you think they were called?

[–] atro_city@fedia.io 26 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

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

[–] expatriado@lemmy.world 6 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

[–] miss_demeanour@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 20 hours ago

Denmarkalians.

[–] CreatingMachines@fedia.io 1 points 14 hours ago

Yep, never really thought further than that.

[–] ploot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 33 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 21 hours ago) (2 children)

Yes. And the language is Danish.

.... 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.… Okay I'll have the Danish thing"

[–] danekrae@lemmy.world 5 points 20 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago)

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

[–] CreatingMachines@fedia.io 1 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] Jax@sh.itjust.works 1 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago)

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

[–] expatriado@lemmy.world 16 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

yes, and their dogs are great

[–] miss_demeanour@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 21 hours ago

Certainly not toys.
