Proposed. Danish strawberries, jordbaer, are a seasonal religion. From June through August, every roadside stand sells them. Every family picks them. Every dessert features them.

Propuesto. La temporada de la fresa danesa es breve e intensa. Puestos al borde de la carretera aparecen en cada camino rural. Cada familia compra una caja. Cada familia se come la caja entera antes de llegar a casa. La fresa danesa es pequeña, dulce y roja hasta el centro. No es lo mismo que la fresa importada. Ni siquiera se acerca.
The day the Dannebrog, the oldest continuously used national flag in the world, allegedly fell from the sky during the Battle of Lindholm in Estonia in 1219. Whether the sky actually opened or a dying soldier simply carried a red flag into battle, every Dane believes. The Dannebrog is not just a flag. It is a feeling.
