We Dutch people don’t even eat that much sauerkraut since it is a German dish. The French actually know us for our baked goods. You know the ones that kick in after an hour.

    Got to love the French calling Italian food overrated, when their international recognized dish consists of black coffee and a cigarette.

    Danish pastry is not soggy. On the contrary, it's a lot crispier than what the rest of Europe is eating.

    Perhaps they're thinking of the pastry called a danish, which is not Danish. We ourselves call it a Berliner, but I think it's actually from Austria.

    Wienerbrød, aka bread from Wien was inspired by Austrian bakers (classic "neutral" SCABS!) who came up to work in Denmark during a huge baker's strike in the mid 1800s. But as is the Danish way, we managed to pump it full of dairy, in this case butter.
    But yeah, it is possible that it's referring to "remonce", the filling/topping used.

    The origins are unclear. The Danish bakers stole the recipe for soggy cakes from Vienna, hence the name, but then the Austrian bakers startede calling it a copenhagen plunder. Immigrants brought the cake to America by the name danish.

    Technically the whole range of similar cakes are neither cakes, bread or pastry. They're viennoiseries, which is layered dough, just like croissants.

    Every now and then this picture or some variation of pops up and my country gets slapped with being rice country.

    We cook and eat better than the spanish, french and italians put together. And we are not afraid of our spices.

    As a Pole, I find this offensive. We're more than just potato munchers.

    We're also potato drinkers.

    Completely valid criticism for hungary. I just put like a kilo of paprika on like 100 grams of chicken 💀

    I like it how the map essentially says "we cannot find anything proper to complain about Italy."
