Explanation

In Denmark, what the world calls 'Danish pastries' are known as 'wienerbrod' meaning 'Viennese bread.' This is because the pastry technique was brought to Denmark by Austrian bakers in the 19th century. Danes find it amusing that these pastries are internationally attributed to Denmark rather than Austria.
