If you are in
Copenhagen you have to try Danish pastry, the most popular is the Snegl. They
come with cinnamon, icing, sugar, just name it, a spiral pastry full of
sweetness. Another quite popular on the shelves is the Spandauer a type of wienerbrød
or Vienna Bread which dates from 1850 when Danish bakers went to strike and the
bakery owners hired Austrians to work in their shops, Austrians made their
recipes and the Danish felt in love with these deciding to adopt these recipes
and made them regulars in their bakeries.
Snegl
After research I
found that the places to go are Lagkagehuset and Sankt Peders. The first one a
chain with several locations around town, pretty convenient, the second one
more a small little gem hiding in the city centre.

I went to both, got
a couple snegl some spandauer, there are so many options to choose that I lost
track of all the perfect pieces of bake dough that I ingested. Both places are
a must but I quite prefer the Sankt Peders is more personal and unique
experience. Good thing is that you can have these sweet treats all over the
city, you will be bumping into a bakery in every corner, hey they call it
Danish Pastry for a reason right?

Danish reminds
me the Seinfeld episode “The Nose Job”.
Elaine: Daddy certainly does have an extensive wardrobe.
Landlord: He is a fine dresser and I'm sure I don't have to tell you
he's quite popular with the ladies.
Elaine: My father, really? I had no idea.
Landlord: Yes, they're crazy about him. There was one in particular,
came around about two years ago, looked a lot like you, Professor. Could have
been your mother. What was her name again? Carter? Kramer! That's it, Babs Kramer.
Nasty woman, many a night I had to throw her out on the street, drunken stumblebum.
Kramer: You don't say?
Elaine: I found it!
Landlord: The woman used to walk around here
half naked, sucking Colt 45 from a can. Her big fat stomach hanging out,
orthopedic hose up to her knees, screaming down the hall, “Come back to bed,
Albert, you big hairy ape, and bring back that box of Danish!"
