President: Lars Rasmussen, The Denmark Prime minister Capital: The capital of Denmark is Copenhagen. The cities of Denmark feature many beautiful medieval structures and modern office buildings. Denmark's high quality living and great social welfare services make sure that the cities have almost no slums or low quality housing. Most people that live in the city live in apartment buildings. Many suburban residents live in one family houses. Service industries employ most people in urban areas.
Money: The krone is the currency that Denmark uses.
History:
1. 1016-1042- Denmark ruled England.
2. 1397- Denmark, Norway, and Sweden were united in the Union of Kalmar.
3. 1536- Lutheranism became the official Danish religion.
4. 1657-1660- Denmark lost much territory to Sweden in the Danish-Sweden war.
5. 1849- Denmark adopts its first democratic construction.
Food: Most Danish people eat 4 meals a day, breakfast, lunch, dinner, and a late evening supper.
1. smørrebrød- open faced sandwiches, one sandwich may be a pyramid shaped pile of about 20 small shrimps on bread. Most Danish people prepare a plate of smørrebrød as a work of art.
2. Kringle- A Danish nut filled coffeecake
3. Danish desserts include berry pudding and rice pudding, commonly
4. Like most americans Danish people drink coffee with their breakfasts
5. Unlike most americans Danish people drink beer with most meals except breakfast
6. aquavit- A strong liquor slightly flavored with caraway, mostly only drank on special occoasions
7. Smoked Herring- A fish from the Danish island of Bornholm. This fish has been smoked since the late 1800's
8. Ost- A Danish cheese that began to be made around the year 1000 by vikings. It is made by pressing and salting of curdled milk to preserve it.
9. Medisterpølse- Spicy pork sausage with potatoes, stow cabbage and thick brown gravy
10. Forloren Hare- Mock rabbit with spiced minced meat and a thick brown sauce
What I Learned:
In this project I learned much about Denmark. Prior to the project I wasn't even interested in the country, but as I worked through this project I found Denmark to be very interesting. Now while I think Denmark is very interesting I don't know if I would enjoy a vistit there. I'm a picky eater and also a very Americanized eater. I also like to eat alot and I'm just not sure if Denmark could satisfy my appetite.
Now while food could be a possible issue I still have no doubts that I'm interested in the country's history. The history is very deep, as far back as the year 1000. I also think that it's very interesting how people used to build massive buildings out of nothing but stone. Denmark happens to have many of these stone buildings. After this project a visit to Denmark doesn't sound too bad to me. Maybe I will travel to Denmark sometime.
