Danish is not a country- I believe it's the Netherlands. You should say "Nationality of person from the Netherlands" or something along those lines.

Yankeefan33 - a Danish person is from Denmark, not the Netherlands. But I agree, 'country' for that clue is misleading. Also, a good addition might be the panama hat.

Danish is not at all misleading- it is named for/after the term meaning "originating from Denmark". It's no different to Bohemian vs Bohemia, Byzantine vs Byzantium etc. Also you should accept just "frankfurt" as the word named after a city in Germany- we call them frankfurts in Aus, not frankfurters- are we the only ones?

A person from the Netherlands is called "Dutch," not "Danish." Danish people come from Denmark. Either way, I think it was a legit clue. :)

Agreed that country is not a good hint for danish. If they put 'nationality' it would be legitimate. also, humans didn't evolve from neandrathals, thats a common misconception, try 'extinct near-human species'.

Okay... its a great idea, but the problem is that you mix up whether the answer is the actual product, or the name of the city... ie. its Bologny (the item) but Bologna (the place) so you went with the place... and then you have Frankfurter (the item) as the answer when its Frankfurt (the place). Very confusing...

Rittings, don't know where you're from, but in the US the product is "bologna." Sometimes spelled (as in, you're full of it) "baloney."

tougher than I thought! Also, I think Genoa salami should be acceptable for italy seeing as Genoa is a city in Italy as well as a lunch meat. And I think Panama Hat (Panama) and Paisley (Scotland) would be great additions!

unreali, neandathals are in our genus (homo), just not modern human homo sapian. The word human is a bit vague, but I think its clear enough.

Shouldn't Vienna Sausages be acceptable because Vienna is a city in Austria?
