rolls Explanation: I would suggest 'rolls' as it's very common for the Danes serve 'rundstykker', i.e. (breakfast) rolls during coffee break at meetings/conferences. Rolls can also refer to cinnamon rolls/buns etc. Reference: http://www.thefreedictionary.com/coffee+roll |

Cake and/or biscuits Explanation: Here it is almost certainly ´blød brød´, or cake. As here, in sense 1.b ´enhver form for bagværk, især kager´ http://ordnet.dk/ddo/ordbog?query=brød May be traditional Danish pastries (wienerbrød) or very often a kringle type - a fairly plain yeast dough rolled out and filled with a richer filing - fruit, raisins, marzipan, ´remonce´, etc. Or ´kaffebrød´ - crisp rusk-type biscuits, which actually are baked twice! (bis cuit in French means twice baked). http://www.jensens-madblog.dk/mormors-kaffebrod/ My Mother-in-law always had some really delicious ones in the biscuit tin, with cardamom... -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 55 mins (2013-04-29 18:37:05 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Sorry, I got carried away! This is for EFTERMIDDAGSkaffe. Formiddagskaffe would often include wienerbrød, though - try googling wienerbrød + formidagskaffe!! |

bread or cake Explanation: It could be either. Your gut feeling that it could be interpreted as 'Danish pastries' is right. 'Brød' is often used as short for 'wienerbrød'. 'Kaffe og brød' would often mean 'coffee and cake', and if this had been an afternoon snack, that would be the most obvious answer. However, as it is a mid-morning snack, it could equally well be bread and butter, cheese, and a selection of sliced meats. AND there might be Danish pastries as well. :-) |
