What happens when you drop a slice of Denmark in the middle of California wine country? You get Solvang—a town that’s part fairytale, part food coma, and 100% confusing. In this episode of The Jocular Pugilists, we bumble through windmills, waffle shops, and wine bars while questioning everything we thought we knew about Danish culture.

Expect questionable history, carb overloads, and hard-hitting debates like:

• Are aebleskivers just donut holes with better PR?
• Did Vikings trade their longships for tour buses and wine tastings?
• Why does every building look like it’s auditioning for Frozen 3: California Adventure?
• And most importantly—can you conquer Solvang without loosening your belt a notch (spoiler: no).

👉 Tune in for laughs, history, and a travel guide you probably shouldn’t follow.

Let us know what you think.
