Traditional Foods and Cuisine Frikadellermeat balls (the Danish national dish) with cabbage in white sauce Stegtflæsk - Fried slices of juicy pork on the bone with potatoes and creamy parsley sauce Danish Pastry is a world famous speciality and mostly known as "Danish".

  7. Lego and Legoland The LEGO Group is the fourth-largest toy manufacturer in the world with 2004 sales of DKK 6,704m. At the beginning of the 21st century the LEGO brick was acclaimed as “Toy of the Century” – first by Fortune Magazine and later by the British Association of Toy Retailers. The name LEGO was constructed by the company founder, Ole Kirk Christiansen, back in 1934 when he combined the first two letters of the two Danish words LEG and GODT (Play Well) – unaware that in Latin one meaning of the word LEGO is “I put together”. Construction and enjoyable play both represent the whole idea behind the creative LEGO products.

  8. The original LEGOLAND Park was built inBillundin 1968 adjacent to the LEGO factory. The park has been regularly expanded, and today contains many buildings and imaginative environments made up of 20 million LEGO bricks – an idea exported to the three newer parks. In addition there are amusements, restaurants and lots of opportunities to build with LEGO bricks, programme robots in LEGO MINDSTORMS, and try the latest LEGO games in the Interactive Centre. Billund is about three hours by road west of Copenhagen. LEGOLAND Billund is one of Denmark’s main tourist attractions. More than half of its visitors are Danish families with children in the 2-12 age group. Most of the non-Danish families who visit LEGOLAND are from Germany, Sweden, Norway and the Netherlands.
