Red berry pudding with cream — and the phrase Danes use to find out exactly where you are from. Three soft d's. No survivors.

Danish butter at 82% fat, imported rye, real cardamom. We don't substitute to save a margin — you'd taste it immediately, and so would we.
Three folds, twenty-seven layers, a three-day rye ferment. "Proper" is doing quiet work in that sentence — it means we did not find a faster way, because there isn't one that tastes the same.
