danish
Flaky filled treat
Danish refers to Denmark—its people, language, or culture: Danish pastries, the Danish government.
A danish (lowercase) is a flaky pastry filled with fruit, cheese, or custard, named for its Scandinavian origins though the style has been thoroughly Americanized: coffee and a danish.
The pastry sense often appears capitalized even when referring just to breakfast.
