Cartoon controversy
[edit]I think this section should be deleted. The controversy was more than 15 years ago, and the article says it was short-lived, so it is not clear to me that this is notable at all, but if it is, it belongs in the article on the cartoons. It is not a major part of the long and rich history of these pastries. I will delete it if there are no objections here on talk. Doric Loon (talk) 17:57, 15 October 2022 (UTC)
- No objections here. Graham87 07:12, 16 October 2022 (UTC)
- OK, nine months on and there's been no objection, so I am deleting the section. It can be worked into the article Jyllands-Posten Muhammad cartoons controversy if anyone still thinks it's important. Doric Loon (talk) 09:14, 23 July 2023 (UTC)
Origin
[edit]@Woodlandscaley for the origin of the Danish pastry, we have this information in Oxford companion to food.[1] "The Danish name for Danish pastries is Wienerbrød, ‘Vienna bread’ (the name by which these recipes are known throughout Scandinavia and N. Germany, where they are also popular). The reverse also applies; in Vienna a similar thing is known as ein Kopenhagener. However, as Birgit Siesby (1988) has pointed out, the Danish Wienerbrød, which must be counted as the ‘true’ Danish pastry, is very different from the sticky pastry Kopenhagener sold in Vienna and from British and American"
It's difficult to conclude, and I have personally never been to Denmark so I don't know how it looks there. It seems that there are in fact three close but different products, in the US, in Denmark and in Austria, linked by their names (Danish pastry, wienerbrod, Kopenhagener) 45.70.56.229 (talk) 14:47, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
