One of our most read stories ever on Denmark.net is "Denmark's Whale Massacre - Myth or Truth?", a story about the yearly whale slaughter taking place each August on the Faroe Islands. Not only advocates of environmental preservation and animal rights are enraged by this practice, but it appears our readers around the world condemn it.

And so do we. We believe it's time to end this tradition once and for all and to save the whales.

Today's Danish cuisine is still inspired by the old icountry kitchen and the cold and wet weather conditions in Denmark. For example, take the salted-smoked and brine-pickled food that could be stored for very long time. The pearls of Danish cuisine are smoked herring from the island of Bornholm also known as gold from the sea, pickled herring enjoyed with Akvavit (Danish snaps) and the Danish cheeses are musts in the Nordic cuisine.
