Yes, as well as other regions. Even in a country as small as Denmark, there
are pastry specialties specific to certain regions, and they're not found
outside of those areas.

Not off the top of my head; I'm a bit short on books dealing with European
pastry styles, it's a lot of ground to cover, and I'm just too tired to look
through what I do have. Nothing personal; it's the pre-holiday
housecleaning, menu planning,
oh-god-which-butcher-do-I-have-to-go-to-for-this and, of all things, house
*painting* (why, Why, WHY did I start this???) that's making me a bit lazy
when it comes to Usenet -- try me again after the second week of January.


Great, now I have guilt ...

don't feel guilty -- I can look that stuff up, but I'm curious what
people have to say about it... as long as their name's not "Gregory
Morrow" that is

good luck with your to do list!
