Danish Pastries

Sorry That's the Wrong Answer - Answer 8

Question 8: Where did Danish pastries originate?

The correct answer is:

Danish pastries did not originate in Denmark but in Austria. Inspired by Turkish baklava, Danish Pastries derived their name from the Danish cook L. C. Klitteng, who popularized them in western Europe and the United States in the early twentieth century and who baked Danish pastries for U.S. President Woodrow Wilson in 1915. In Denmark and much of Scandinavia, Danish pastries are called Viennese bread.
