Same with Denmark and afaik the rest of Scandinavia.
Set in their ways old (70+) Danish people tend to refuse to eat anything for dinner that doesn’t involve potatoes with a thick gravy and some kind of meat, preferably pork 😄
When I visited danish relatives they often made flæskesteg (a kind of roast pork, originally a christmas dish) and you can also get flæskesteg burgers and so on. That’s what I think of when someone says danish pork.
All delicious, but proceed with caution if you’re trying to limit cholesterol, fat, carbs, or calories as old fashioned Danish food tends to contain all of those in spades 😄
Tbh, I hear that almost exclusively from native Germans, though that might be because I had an Irish sounding maiden name and people figured I’d be insulted by potato jokes. Weirdly, I don’t hear much teasing of Germans from immigrants. I do it, like the other day I left work in socks and crocs and pointed it out as a final step of my Eindeutschung to my coworkers, so not really cutting, but I still don’t hear even light teasing much from others. The most I see is loaded eye contact whenever something is really German. Things like unbelievable bureaucracy, or very precise engineering, or an absolutely terrifying thing that’s for some reason aimed at children.
They’re a staple food in Germany, too

How is the pork prepared and served? I think I want to eat this thing you speak of.

Oh hundreds if not thousands of ways!
There’s the flæskesteg the other reply mentioned
There’s the official national dish Stegt flæsk
There’s frikadeller
There’s Karbonader
And many, many more 😁

They’re the only food in Germany, some might say.
So much so that our immigrant population refers to Germans as “Kartoffeln” (potatoes)
