<<Danish is, not surprisingly, a very common pastry in
Denmark and other Nordic countries too. Devoured
usually with coffee at any time of the day - the
Scandinavians are the heaviest coffee drinkers in the
world.

Only that the Danes themselves call it
"wienerbroed"... >>

Live and learn.  I would never have guessed that
Danish pastry had anything remotely to do with
Denmark.  

I always assumed it would be more accurately named
"Danish" pastry, much as Nabokov (I think) referred to
"French" fries.
