Denmark have some of the strictest food laws in the world, which is kind of pissing the rest of Europe off because it means they can't sell their stuff to Denmark.
One of the first things I noticed when I moved back to Denmark after having lived in England for a year was how quickly food went bad, so it would seem Denmark is quite picky about chemicals in the food too.
This whole comic almost seems as if everyone is trying to find out what food is good to give Denmark. XD
Denmark: I'm hungry.
Europe: Okay, I'll go find something. Hey, America! Denmark is hungry!
America: Alright, I'll figure something out. Hey, China! Denmark's hungry! Do you have anything?
China: I'll go see. Hey, Congo! Denmark is hungry! You don't happen to have anything on you, do you?
Congo: Well, I have some African food. Do you think Denmark'll like that?
China: No, it's probably been washed in poo water. I guess I'll just give him some of mine. Here, America! Some Chinese food might do good!
America: Eh, nope. Your hygiene standards are too low, and I don't think Denmark likes dog or cat meat. I know he loves American food though, so here, Europe, give this to Denmark!
Europe: Are you crazy?! You use WAY too many chemicals! Denmark only wants the best, and that's what I'm going to give him!
Denmark: So, do I get any food?
Europe: Yes! Here, Denmark! Some good, clean, European food, and I KNOW you'll love it!
Denmark: ... No. You use bad fat acids, I'm not eating that. I guess I'll just have some Danish food.
Europe: FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF--
European food to America
US "what the hell is this? It's a quartered onion and tomato bits on a tortilla shell with green things"
EU "it's.. pizza..."
US slams a huge box on the table with a giant cheesy bread disk inside covered in all the meats in the world "this is a pizza"
EU "we're both speaking the same language right?"
USA: "These poor women have a genetic disorder and/or glandular problem that made them obese. They can't help it."
EU: "Nope. I'm sure of it now; we're not speaking the same language at all."
@Svenskefan oh yes we are. Also for some reason i dont see a lot of people mad about how socialdemokraterna stabbed vänsterpartiet in the back. Which i hate by the way ;-;
Your food went bad faster because your fridge is warmer. Good grief.
America is skeptical about Chinese food imports after massive food contamination scandals. Rich Chinese are actually importing things like baby formula and powdered milk directly from the US or Canada, too--the Chinese aren't any happier about it. No one in America thinks that any of the Chinese export dog or cat meat.
Dog and cat meat are eaten mostly in southern China. They are traditional foods there, though not really common ones, and are becoming increasingly less common because of the reaction of outsiders to it.
@MarianneDos China is the reason you can't buy more than one can of baby formula at a time in Australia but it sends us some pretty awesome processed stuff in return. Our food laws are pretty simple, if it's fresh or unprocessed ACCESS DENIED (also massively huge fines) if it's processed and sealed up tight come on in - bio-security at it's simplest
Also in Denmark their fridges are the same temperature as everywhere else, much of their fresh food is stored in sub zero until it's needed for sale (fresh food suppliers do that the world over) so the shelf life is probably close to an end anyway but, they don't pre-treat before they freeze so that means the veggies suffer the more afterwards.
This cartoon reminds me of a mistake I made recently, when I saw something about the Danish movie "I Kina Spiser de Hunde", and I'm thinking: " 'They eat dogs in the movie theater?' " Oops! I confused the Danish word "Kina" (China) with the Russian word "kino" (movie theater).
