    When I was a kid in the nineties I visited Denmark and had their pastries. I don’t remember much from the time except that the pastries were so sickly sweet and had overpowering flavor of some nut extract (almond maybe). Never in my life was I so disgusted by pastries as in Denmark. So they can keep those to themselves. I’ll take the rest though

      Haha I love the (semi) random experience shares,I keep doing those on here to keep up some engagement and well add something semi relevant. Usually tangential to the main topic.

      Though by the description I’d love to try those pastries, never found anything too sweet. Near 50 now,I’ll assume it happens sometimes, once I thought I understood my mom saying it made her back teeth hurt which I’m pretty sure she meant it was too sweet but can’t recall it happening more than twice to me at most.

      Grew up north in Canada, hate the cold but everything else about similar Nordic countries seem to be pretty good. Well work from home these days…didn’t have that before.

      Whaaaa?! I’ve always found Danish pastries to be much less sweet than American, though the American take is cloyingly sweet. Almond flavor totally tracks, though. Many I’ve seen are almond flavored or at least include almonds.
