I came across this delightful little book of "Danish Home Baking" on the bookshelf at a Danish bakery in Seattle (John Neilsen's Authentic Danish Pastries)
According to this book's authors, the Danish people love their Kringler, Smørkage and Pleskner (not to mention Linser, Marengs and Snitter). The book's Foreword indicates that Danes enjoy their pastries several times a day and concludes that "a day in the life of a Dane is inclined to be a cakeful day."
While eating Danish pastries certainly is enjoyable, I also like simply looking at the names of these treats. Here's a page from the index. Enjøy!

mmm. Danish pastry made with real Danish butter and no chemical additives. With coffee. Lots and lots of fresh hot coffee.
just the thought of these pastries makes my kringle tingle and my snitter beat faster!
