Pork Scratches on the Whipped Cream Front

[Bapopik at AOL.COM]

   Greetings from an airport in Copenhagen.  I fly from here to Greenland.  I had a brief airport stop before in Iceland (where I go after Greenland).

WHIPPED CREAM FRONT--Denmark during the Nazi period.  There's only one Google.com hit, but the Copenhagen tour guide used it.

PORK SCRATCHES--Are these pork rinds?  The airport bar serves them, called Flaeskesvaer.

WEINERBROD--The "Danish" pastry here in Copenhagen.

DANISH MEATBALLS--meatballs served with red cabbage, cucumber salad, potatoes and sauce. (From airport menu--ed.)

"BIKSEMAD"--cubed beef, potatoes, onions and fried egg.

SCATTERED-SITE HOUSING--On the cover of Sunday's NEW YORK POST.

JIGSAW LEARNING--A large story in today's USA TODAY (coined by Elliot Aronson?).

COPENHAGEN NOTE

   I was last here a few months ago, and I'm relieved to find that the Little Mermaid is not pregnant.
