free or inexpensive baking classes??

I have also been looking for this. Most "for fun" classes do seem quite expensive. I am checking out the New School of Cooking in Culver City, and the "cheaper" classes are around $60!

do you eat American style or European style?

I am American but I lived in Denmark for a bit, and after my host family and I had gotten to know each other a little more, they confessed that they judged me to be a heathen after observing me during our first meal together. And it was all because of the way I had used my utensils, American style. So I got used to their style, and started to do the Euro style myself, but then reverted back to my heathen ways after a few months back in the states. Every once in a while, I will catch myself eating the Euro way, which is wierd since it has been almost two years since my visit there. Part of me is still hanging on to my Euro-life!

suggestions for bergen, olso, stockholm, copenhagen?

Forget restaraunts in Copenhagen, just go straight to this amazing bakery there! It's off the Norrebro stop, maybe a 10 minute walk away:

Sankt Peders Bageri, Sankt Peders Stræde 29

SO GOOD. I long for those pastries every day of my life.

Hot Dog Toppings: Crispy Onions

I experienced the same crisp-ity onion goodness while studying in Denmark. Must be a Scandinavian thing. I also loved the sweet mayonnaise that Danish dog vendors would put in the hot dogs, SO much better than ours here in the States. Good luck with your crispy onion search, I understand the crispy onion void and long to go back to Scandinavia!
