Funnily enough, our light airy bread is called Franskbrød (French bread).
😂🤷🏼♀️😂
For me, immigration to DK was like being uprooted like a plant from the hot desert soil and replanting it in DK's cold wet clay soil. It easily took 3-5 years before I really began to settle in.
Ever think of going back or do you feel ok now?
@@Finnec123 Sure, I thought of going back many times. But at some point I became more content living in DK, plus my family was here.
Hello :) I live in Denmark and i would just say nice video :) Good luck in the future :)
Great video and the one time i have been to france the thing i remember the most was the great baguette we had everyday..:)
Fun, I have it the other way around, I miss Danish Rugbrød where I live in Portugal, I can find a single type of rugbrød which is ok, but it's just not on par with Danish rugbrød, so I completely understand your longing for the type of bread you grew up with.
Absence makes the heart grow fonder. When in France ,though in a hurry I find the people affable and English spoken. I don’t miss the salt less bread of Florence but part of me needs to be there. Although quite dangerous, part of me needs to be in NYC where you can find the best and worse of many cultures.
I liked this part, because I could see the differences in many aspects amid three countries seen in different perspectives by two emigrants. It was very interesting.
Glad you liked it! 😊
Buy bread in Copenhagen! Lots of great options.
The romanticism in Denmark disappeared in the 1970s with feminism. It is true that women in Denmark (most) become negative when a man holds the door for them. The Danes have forgotten and flirted. Many Danish women look feminine but are very masculine in their form of expression. Verbal, physical (moving and facial expressions). Something I notice a lot when I travel outside Denmark, especially Southern Europe. In Denmark, femininity is = with weakness. Which it certainly is not. We have clearly lost something cultural there.
Interesting! Thank you for your feedback! 😃😊👍🏻✨
@@AFrenchWomanLivingInDenmark Just for and emphasize my observation. In Denmark, there are many women who wear "men's sandals" in the summer. I have not experienced this in Southern Europe or in Asia.
Anders - you seem just on in the croud - good for you? Strong and sweet women are valied here. Find other parents .. more learning and giving. What is your problem?
Hi. Interesting titel for this video. I heard resently that the word "Expats" is mostly used by british people who dont like to se them selves as immigrants when they live abroad. This was said about british people living is Spain, voting for brexit and now angry that their status has changed.
The word 'expat' has certainly pejorative meaning.
hi I am from Pakistan❤
French bread with camenbert, is goood😍 the word “ ris a la mande” sounds french , but believe it’s not.
It does sound french yes! 🤔
Nej, det er ikke Fransk, blot et opdigtet navn for a lyde "smart", ligesom "sauce" tidligere hed dyppelse, "reklame værdi" så at sige. 😀
Tjaaa, tjooo.
Some stories tell a chef at hotel D'angleterre made the dessert by mistake.
But it was so good they put it on the menu by the name riz à l'amande.
However, it did also appear in Miss constantins book in 1902, by the same name.
So the dessert might not be french, but the name was heavily inspired.
Now being named riz à l'amande danois.
And sauce "is just" the french term for dyppelse, but brought here by the 70's french chefs like, Michel Michaud, who brought french cuisine to Denmark.
And for chefs, sovs and dyppelse got nooothing to do with sauce.
Very different things.
Sauce covers several teqhniques.
And both Marie-Antoine Carême, and Auguste Escoffier, story wise, sets a very clear and important barrier Between "brun sovs" and sauce.
It's not just marketing.
I'm danish, and it could be funny to know, what a frenchie thinks about humor? I've heard it can be very difficuelt to understander, because we can talk very serious about a topic, and then joke about it in the next sentence. Hilsen Niels (And welcome in Denmark)
That’s a good idea !😃😄
Hi dear, I’m Italian and when you talked about how bad french people speak English I immediately thought..”oh it must be something that Mediterranean countries have in common” because Italians speak English terribly as well 😅😂😂
Hahaha yes!! 😂😅
However it sounds good with the latina accents!
I feel the same way about bread. ♥ RUGBRØD ♥
Danes don't use a lot of money on bread like baguette, and go to a baker and ask for baguette, some even don't have them, they got some called Flutes and it is not a baguette, the baker here in Føtex had some called baguette with garlic paste or pesto paste or chilli paste on top or without paste, they are baked with this in oven, they are heavy and taste so good, but around a year ago the stop doing them, and now they got som boring "baguette" they are not good, so after many years buying the other, i don't buy the new ones, so i'm looking for a new place to buy baguette, so i fully understand u, when u are say u miss real bread, real baguette.
A real baguette, break a piece of it and some spreadable garlic cheese on it, and a glass of cold Rosé 🍷 or cold white wine, then i'm in heaven.🙂 Parlez-vous français.😉
Hi Margaux,
About the bread, you simply live in the wrong part of Denmark. I lived in Odense for 12 years, so I can relate.
In Copenhagen you will find a lot more bakeries with high quality bread.
You’re right! 😊😓😅
Ølandsbrød from Emmerys, as an example.
For your information, my son in law is french, he is living in London with my daygher, struggelin in theese bad times, just trying to survive :-( My question to you both is, what do you think about the way Denmark is handling this corona virus, compared to where you come from? I can tell you I'm very nervous abot my daugther and son in law living in London, at the same time, many people tells me, that Denmark is too strict about the Corona, in terms of closing down the whole country, asking people to stay home, not seeing even your family and elderly! And keep up the good videos, very informative and as a dane, you even learn something, you never thought about! Further more, I can infor you, that the stalls at the road, which are selling i.e. eggs, vegetable and fruit, many places here in jutland you just pay with !mobilpay"
And i agree with you, it ashame that french people do not learn more foreign language, in Denmark I learn english, german and had unfortunately only 4 moth of learning french in "folkeskolen" (class 1 to 10), and school is good, because from start to end, you are in the same class everyone from the sart to the end, so you now your classmate and teachers realy well :-)
Thank you very much for your comment !
I think i will make a CZcams video about covid in Denmark but as far as im concerned better safe than sorry! So i agree with the way Denmark handles it even though isolation is not easy 😓
@@AFrenchWomanLivingInDenmark Thank you for your answer :-) As for my son in law, what type of danish food do you think he would like, knowing that people has different taste! Last time he was here, I made boeuf bourguignon, which he seem to like, since he took 23 portions :-D, but next time he must try a danish dish. Looking forward to your advice!
@@guydanish oh it’s hard to say! As you mentioned people have such different tastes , i dont want to be responsible 🙈😂 kartofler med brun sovs ? 😃 cant go wrong with that as a side ! The rest im not sure 😄
Hi,
Do you speak german as well because it is your mom's language ? I think it is a huge advantage to learn danish :)
I have notions of german but unfortunately my mom never spoke to me in german and when i went to school the only option was spanish 😞 so i told myself when i have a kid i won’t make the same mistake ! So i speak only french to my son😊
@@AFrenchWomanLivingInDenmark You have made the right choice. I am in the opposite situation of you. My mother is English and my father is Danish, and they each spoke their native language to me making me true bilingual. Although I speak both fluently, I only speak English to my daughter. My girlfriend is Danish, and we live in Denmark, but our daughter will be bilingual. I can confirm through personal experience that it is a wonderful gift to give to a child. :)
@@Bobahat thank you!
A lot of Danish Men have been brought up by single mothers (I was - much of the time). So if you think we're NOT aggressive enough (in a good way), or romantic enough? You can thank our moms, or the lack of father figures, willing to show us the "ropes" :-( ! We were brought up "Nordic" ! That woman and men are equal, and should treat each others as such :-) ! Makes for "lousy" romance and even worse dates :-( ! Bread! I live in CPH and would give my right arm for something, that just resembles an "authentic baguette" (HMMMMM) :-) ! I like our bread, but it lacks the crispiness (outside) and the softness (inside), to get a really good sandwich here :-( ! Dear Margeux and Elena. Great post :-) ! Being able to voice each others (honest :-) ) opinions has kept all of us safe, since WW2! PS: I'd still really like an authentic baguette :-D :-D ! Take care, both of U !!
Haha me too 😩😜 🍞 ! Thanks for your comment and for sharing your point of view about romantism in Denmark 👍🏻😊
Ha._. I actually watch both of your channels._.
When I first came here, I got a shock meeting Danish women. They appeared so aggressive and scary including my mother-in-law :-) Then I met more Danish men other than my husband. They are all so meek compared to the Danish women. I think somehow along the line, their roles got switched sub-consciously :-) for the sake of equality. But as long as the Danish men and women are not complaining, who cares?? :-)
As you mention where roles are switched, I actually think we are at a time, that are really hard to navigate in as a male In Denmark. Im all in for equality, but we are not there yet, in fact I think in some aspects it has gone way out of hand, and has nothing to do with a healthy and balanced equality for both Woman and Men.
@@bergdk237 thank you for your reply. would have been nice if you could mention what these aspects were that went way out of hand in order to get some perspective of what you are saying :-)
As a Dane I've only been to France once in my life.
What I discovered in France was their bread. I loved it! I miss it! I wanna move there!
Seriously, you can find bakeries in Denmark that knows how to make great white bread. But they are rare.
Meny has some really decent baguettes though. I haven't tried other types of white bread in their store, as the store near me is retty new.
