I am Swedish, and sure we have Malaco’s fish here, but I am sure we DON’T call them ‘pastellfiskar’. We call them ‘geléfiskar’ which simply means ‘jellyfish’

…and we call them “wienerbrød” here in Norway too, as in Sweden…and who knows about the Finnish? Their language is so hard for oss to understand:-D

(wienerbrød = vienna bread, translated directly)

Never heard of ‘Swedish fish’!

We do split muffins to taost them in the UK – but I prefer crumpets which are (I think) more like the original muffin).

BTW in France various sweet pastries (pan au chocolate, crroissant etc) are known as vennoiseries (sp?) as they originated in Vienna

@Kelsy: Why should a walnut/sugar/coconut frosting be a very typical ingredient of a german dessert??? As a german, I cannot disagree with you most. Frosting is something, that is very atypical in Germany at all.

This is so funny! The german part about German chocolate cake is actually the walnut/sugar/coconut frosting, that is very typical of german desserts. Hope you had a nice trip to MV, we are there a lot!
