In Dutch we could call it "slootwater" (ditch water).

I'm no fan of Budweiser, but to be honest, I don't see too much difference between that and Heineken :oops:

As an aside, there are some fantastic Dutch micro-brews. This is one of the best Dutch beers I have had in the Netherlands:

Quick search didnt show much differences to german food?
Yes, historically Danish culture was very much influenced by german culture, inluding similar foods - lots of pork, dairy products and beer. But since the middle of the last century it has, like everywhere else, been more influenced by Anglo/American culture.

You're thinking of surströmming.
Lutefisk and surströmming are both disturbing, for the longest time after moving to Sweden I suspected they were a prank played on foreigners. People actually seem to enjoy lutefisk at Christmas dinners :eek:

Heineken has some taste, but its not great. I only drink heavy blonde beers and some white beers if its very hot. I recognize that brand by the way, I really like this one:

Never was in denmark, so i was qurious about food in denmark. Quick search didnt show much differences to german food? Ok, becks beer would need a líttel bit of transition, but with the rest of the food i think i could live perfectly. ;)
The last time I was in Denmark (it's been 30 years, probably), the food there was no different than in any American city--any type you wanted. Copenhagen isn't the place to sample Danish food, perhaps. The kitchen table out in the countryside would be a better sampling, I suspect.

I did enjoy a dish of ice cream with a cuppa on the sunny side of the Nyhavn Canal at 10 PM at midsummer. But the scenery (of the two-legged kind--long pairs of legs it must be observed) banished the taste of the food from my memory.

(Before Covid I had a Doener at least every couple of weeks when meeting church friends for a bit of Stammtisch at a German bistro near me, washed down with Kostritzer or Veltins, or maybe Dinkel Acker, depending on mood and availability.)
