I have reverted a part of the sentence: "This mode of cooking is increasingly international, highly influenced by French, American and Asian cuisine, especially the cuisine of Thailand."
The reverted part being ", especially the cuisine of Thailand" which was removed on 12:30, 25 Aug 2004 by 192.87.154.191. It was an unexplained removal, and it is a fact in Danish cooking. Danish cooking is being influenced by various Asian cuisines, but by far the cuisine of Thailand is having more influence on Danish cuisine then many others. This is due to an increase of people from Thailand living in Denmark, an increase of marriages between Danes and Thai people, more vacationing in Thailand, more availability of Thai food products in the supermarket, as well as specialty stores and more Thai restaurants opening up. I am sure there are other reasons for this influence. Other Asian cuisines are not keeping pace with this trend. Sfdan 14:22, 26 Aug 2004 (UTC)
Changed "Crawfish" to "Langoustine" under Main Dishes, as that's what "Jomfruhummer" is. -- Kvan 09:54, 6 Oct 2004 (UTC)
I'm going to do some major changes in the next couple of weeks. For one thing, the section on meats is somewhat out of date - pork has major competition from turkey, and beef and veal are eaten much more frequently than they used to be. The comment about bacon is also wrong, and the fish list needs revising. And this is just one section; the necessary fixes are too numerous to list, so I'll just go ahead and make some whenever I have a couple of minutes in the coming weeks. -- Kvan 18:18, 21 August 2005 (UTC)
I removed a hyperlink leading to a Danish language collection of recipes, and I replaced it with a hyperlink to an English language collection of recipes. This is an English language article, and should cater to English language readers, in my opinion. Luckily one can find the same hyperlink in the Danish language article.

Apparently Denmark holds the distinction of having the highest per capita candy consumption in the world, at 29.5 pounds. (One site says 23.9 pounds, which may be a typo.) The sites list the source as "National Confectioners Association/Chocolate Manufacturers Association". I can't find the original reference, however, so I have been unable to confirm this factoid. (It may be just a rumor repeated endlessly... :) — RJH 20:11, 19 April 2006 (UTC)
according to statistics, danes have the highest intake of almost everything. but this might be due to the fact that statisticians have much easier access to these facts in denmark than anywhere else. Dkviking 16:07, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
Does Denmark have much of a culture of vegetarianism? In Danish cities, do the vegetarian restaurants serve for the most part non-Danish cuisine, or are there distinctly Danish-style vegetarian and vegan restaurants? Can one shop for vegetarian food easily in Danish supermarkets?
-- All restaurants have at least one vegetarian dish, most have a couple. I Copenhagen there are several vegetarian restaurants and chains. As for supermarket, of course you can buy vegetarian, I mean, why wouldn't they sell vegetables and fruit??? The hardest part of being vegetarian in denmark is the traditional Julefrokost: If you want special food, you have to bring it yourself. Trying to demand special treatment is something that often spark sharp replies.
I suggest that until we have some statistics that can be referenced to, we avoid labelling either "mayonnaise" or "ketchup" as being more popular than the other, and also where "remoulade" fits into the preference scale. SFDan 08:08, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
I don't see the relevance of this remark in the article. Is it supposed to mean something in the lines of, Unlike the other populations on earth, Danes really do love good food, or Danes love good food, while (insert name of any other population here) do not? Or is this done to confront anyone who might possibly think that Danes like their food when it's really bad? Is there any person who thinks this way that you know of?
I mean, really, can anyone explain to me the role of this remark in the article, other than being some unnecessary eulogy to the Danish eating habits, as if it is unique to them? 88.240.33.60 21:38, 15 November 2006 (UTC)SS 23:38, 15 November 2006
This is a great article, so thank you. Information about Danish cuisine is sparse, but the creator of this article has been generous. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 131.96.74.30 ( talk) 19:45, 7 December 2006 (UTC).
Since the majority of traditional Danish dishes are linked to various dates such as cardamom bread on General Prayer Day or cod on New Year's Eve, I propose that we make of list of these. the only problem is that the xmas section of such a list will be enormous. Any opinions? Dkviking 16:52, 8 December 2006 (UTC)
The beginning of the article is good, but when listing foods it starts to get bad. The dishes ar not traditionally but rather 50' to 70' dishes, and according to meat being the main subject of traditionally danish cuisin is wrong. Cabbage , grain, vegetables and fruits like apples and berries where the primary ingredient in the danish nourishment. These where used in stews, soups, and meat of any kind where used as an accesory to these dishes. The beginning of the article tends to point this out, but it seems that the list has been made by eager spammers.
There were a couple of mentions of certain things being common at '"round" birthdays'. What are these? -- StarChaser Tyger 05:39, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
Quoted from the main article:
"the average Dane saves eating out at restaurants for special occasions. When one does go out to a restaurant it is usually a lengthy, relaxed affair, consisting of many courses and drinks. Danish people will come typically to a restaurant at 6.00 p.m., and stay until 11.00 p.m. or later."
Does this seem a little odd to anyone else? I know my experiences aren't necessarily endemic for the entire population but I have never in my life spent 5+ hours at a restaurant. Even on those extremely rare occasions when I order a three-course meal and have a cup of coffee or a drink afterwards I've never come close to spending that kind of time at an eatery.

"hyldeblomstsaft -- a disappearing delicacy, although it is slowly increasing in popularity." This seems to be rather contradictory... disappearing or increasing? -- wormcast 00:12, 6 September 2007 (UTC)
What happened to the famous danish cookies? Kjeldsen, Royal Danish butter cookies. etc. in their traditional blue or marroon tins. I can't find anything on them in this article. -- Kvasir ( talk) 18:17, 20 February 2008 (UTC)
Can you please upload photos of smorrebrod? I don't care if you're in Iceland or NOrway or New York, I need photos! (for my user page :) .:davumaya:. 20:29, 7 July 2008 (UTC)
Speaking of photos, frikadeller is not the national dish but a national dish. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.62.122.250 ( talk) 22:37, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
