Cakes are cakes etc. but broadly speaking, yeah we call them Wiener bread. And with that you forced me to investigate why that is and I've discovered that we call them that because a couple of centuries ago, most bakers here were immigrants from Austria. You call them 'Danish' because a single Danish immigrant baker labelled them as that and it catched on. Funnily enough, in Austria today, they are also known as 'Danish' or some local variation of that expression.
I'll forgive you for this distraction though, considering that the only memorable thing I found from going through the last 15 pages of this thread, was that Dali poster I noticed hanging on your wall. You do actually have great taste when you really try.
Well that's interesting! I suppose the immigrants came after Austria was defeated by Napoleon in the late 18th century. Plus the name sounds better than eating a yummy Austrianish..
Thank you thank you about the poster, it's Mae West, and she's been haunting our dining room for years now. Just love that poster, and glad you do to.
And Rick, take the Joker's advice and don't be so serious. I doubt anyone understands whether you're serious or not half the time, or if others are when they troll you, but you bring just as much of it on yourself. You can be a repulsive, ignorant, abrasive little prick, but you can also be funny and a great guy...
Just like the rest of us.To close, if you want to fit in, I'm sure you'll figure out how. Just don't go all TK on us... even TK has calmed the TK down lately, and it's been oh so nice, lol.
