"American Danish can be doughy, heavy, sticky, tasting of prunes and is usually wrapped in cellophane. Danish Danish is light, crisp, buttery and often tastes of marzipan or raisins; it is seldom wrapped in anything but loving care."

Wintergreen (Gaultheria procumbens) native to North America, is also known as teaberry and checkerberry. The bright red, spicy, edible, berrylike fruits are also called deerberries. The leaves yield oil of wintergreen which is used as a flavoring in candy, chewing gum and toothpaste. The active ingredient, methyl salicylate, is now mostly synthesized. The leaves are also used to make Mountain Tea.
