The premise is simple: Help me create a menu for an evening of Eurovision entertainment with an item of food or drink from each country to go with the country's song. Each item must then be drunk or eaten whilst the song is playing.
Lessons from last time:
-The same food may be enjoyed by many different countries, so it doesn't have to be suggested for the most obvious country.
-I'm too old to have it turn into a drinking contest.
-You don't want to cook during the show.
-Smoke salmon is pretty disgusting after a chocolate torte, so look at the suggestions around it.
-Suggested items must be for sale in Wolverhampton on an average Saturday.
Full details, and last year's poor attempt can be seen on a Webometric Thoughts blog post.

For Denmark: Beer, yes. Obviously. Tuborg or Carlsberg are widely available alternatives. You might also be able to find Ceres. For food, options include:
* Pickled herring on rye bread with sliced raw onions, capers and a hardboiled egg, chopped. Ideally served with beer and a glass of snaps (akvavit)
* Also good for rye bread: smoked eel with scrambled eggs, a slice of roast pork with sweet&sour red cabbage, or liver paté topped with a slice of corned beef and aspic.
I didn't say it would be tasty, just that it would be typical Danish food. ;o)
Then again, considering that this course will follow rabbit and the Estonian concoction, you could consider a small piece of steamed cod with fresh herbs (e.g. dill) and a bit of roe/caviar, or hardboiled eggs, cut in half, and topped with a bit of mayonnaise, roe/caviar and dill.
For more laborious suggestions, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuisine_of_Denmark
Have fun!
