But it needs to be something that reminds him of Denmark. So, open sandwiches and Gammel Dansk? Gammel Dansk cured me of my habit of always trying the local spirit in a new country.

Gammel Dansk is an arrivste invention from the swinging 60's.

No way is the red and yellow one a decent s/hand bike as even I would draw the line well before that colour scheme

Also probably grossly unfair but I only want to be reminded of cph. The few trips I've made outside the city to the 'real' Danmark have left me a little underwhelmed...But it needs to be something that reminds him of Denmark. So, open sandwiches and Gammel Dansk?

I like Gammel Dansk. You need to work at liking it. I thought my friend was trying to poison me the first time I sampled it.
A big sprocket and longer chain required and problem solved.

The barman in the hotel bar who suggested it described it as "something your elderly aunt would have a glass of at Christmas". "Ah," I said to myself "so the Danish equivalent of sweet sherry." I don't like sherry either.
According to wikipedia, it's now made in Norway
Edit: oh, and of course the water of life is always a tasty treat, but I was familiar with Swedish variants, so wanted to try something new.

The bigger ones outsell the mediums here, or so the man in the shop tells me... must all be going to Swedes as the local menfolk are pretty avg., height wise.

There's certainly an unexpected group of Dutch speaking cabbies about the place, the children of refugees or so they tell me, but none are particularly tall. nor blond, nor blue-eyed... My dutch friend Frank is six-seven and his missus is taller than me but they and their professional basketball playing sons all ride pukka dutch-bikes and don't share my Pedersen fetish.
When I go to sthlm I am the shortest person on the project team. I find that very unnerving. Especially as so many of the project meetings are "stand-ups". Big on their "stand-ups" they are, in sthlm.
