Great. Claire. Cook.

I'm fact-checking a story about a Scandinavian restaurant in Hong Kong. It has a Danish proverb on its Web site: "Food tastes better when you eat it with your own spoon."

I visited a friend in Copenhagen in the early part of the decade...and we stayed with her friend, Eric...and he spoke frequently of Danish pork during the trip. So...for a long time, I thought pig products were a big Danish export.

It wasn't until a couple of years later that I made a comment related to what I presumed to be true of the Danes' economy when my friend said, "I don't think pork is as much of a Danish thing as it is an Eric thing."

Oh.

But then I met the Danish National Ballroom Dancing Champion of 1986 at a mutual fund conference in Miami...and *he* told me that bacon is actually really popular there. So. We were sort of both right.
