Etymology
Danish is the name for a sweet breakfast pastry and it is named after Denmark. Bakers in the 1800s brought a Viennese 'Vienna bread' idea to Denmark and turned it into a local treat, so English speakers began calling the pastry 'Danish', which is why a danish is a sweet, yeast-raised pastry often filled with fruit or cheese.
