This overview of Denmark – its geography, its culture, its people, and a recipe, too – was prepared by Sarah Tannehill while a Business Administration student in the College of Business at Southeastern Louisiana University.
Introduction
A 2006 survey said that Denmark is one of the happiest nations on earth. Denmark has over 400 hundred islands with a mix of sandy beaches and cliffs. Denmark is known worldwide for its dairy, livestock and commercial fishing industries. I chose to do my mother’s recipe for Frikadellers. It is a recipe for Danish meatballs that are mostly eaten in Denmark by children.
