- On this episode of What Are You Doing in Denmark, Erin Eberhart Chapman joins Mike and Derek in the studio to talk about life in Denmark as an entrepreneur, mother, and wife. Erin is the co-owner of The American Pie Company in Copenhagen, and has a lot to share about opening a business in Denmark and working with Danes.
In this episode, Erin explains why she moved to Copenhagen, relocated to Los Angeles, and why it was her (and not her Danish husband) who wanted to move back to Denmark. Along the way Erin and Mike judge Derek’s unorthodox business ideas, the trio discuss things non-Danes do that seem weird to Danes, and Erin explains how opening the American Pie Company in Denmark quelled her homesickness.
Erin also discusses how she became a voice actor and finally defines “American food” for Derek and Mike. We all discuss our favorite American foods, the history of pies, and how foods brought to the US from other continents evolve over time. Derek, Mike, and Erin discuss what living in Denmark has taught them about love and relationships and the elements of Danish culture that make couples stronger and Mike gets put to the test in a baking-related challenge.

Weather talk is a good starter in DK. If you still wanna have a conversation, the topic has be, something that makes sense.
Any small talk, especially with a perfect Stranger, should be common-sense based. And, if one is new to a country, then asking a local for help in understanding how one can cope is not a bad idea as well.
I always question the sincerity of the person to whom I am small-talking. Perfunctory anything does not tend to fly with me. I can see right people and read most like books.
@@SuiGenerisAbbie The weather ain't that bad. It's a thing US-American say, because they can't find anything else to criticize. 🙂
It is their war on Danish weather, like the war on the lack of spices. 🙂
US-Americans need to have war on something. It is in their genes. 🙂
Lived the red flag part and about being there 100 % at parties and in relationships is simply our way to show sincerity
I love this podcast! Keep it up guys!
Thank you much! 🤩
My mom often made prune pie when I was a kid (60's), tasted very good. I would like to taste one again.
Ahh you're wrong Erin, there should be a liquorice pie and there is almost nothing you can add this too :) It's also scary that a pie maker says "bland selv slik" taste the same, your husband is right, its not the same :D
What a wonderful podcast. ❤️
Your videos make me so happy! My husband and I both studied abroad (at the same school she mentioned) in KPH 7 years ago. We just went back for our honeymoon this summer. It was amazing. I love continuing to learn Danish and hearing about all your experiences. I’m currently watching the show Rita 🙂
What a lovely conversation ❤
I'm laughing so hard at the phone thing. As a Dane abroad I would frantically search for my phone thinking "damn it, not again" thinking I had made a pocket call, when it would turn out it was somebody else making a phone call. It took me months to get used. I can remember thinking "do they know that everyone can hear them? Aren't they concerned abour their privacy at all?" You just feel like you are intruding. It took months to get used to, but now can just filter it, though I still struggle to filter out my neighbour when she is have an argument with her sister on the phone 😂😂 that's just too loud and too hilarious to ignore 😂😂
Although I absolutely love pie … please keep pumpkin flavors out of my coffee. It has absolutely no place mixing with the bitter taste that is the delicious mocca flavor.
(Honestly tho … I’m not really a latte person either.)
But don’t mind another piece of pie. 😉
Licquorice … yeah. Really show you’re expats. The fact that you can’t tell the differences in flavor of licquorices really says a lot. 😉
(Maybe also explains the very wierd flavors you combine with some very established products … like pumpkin spice latte … or cherry coke … or cheesy pastries 🤢 … 😉.)
Week numbers. You’re not alone. I am 60. I’ve lived in Denmark all my life. And I am clueless when someone asks me to reschedule our meeting from week 37 to week 45. No clue when that is. I know it’s in the fall … but that’s about it. I mean … how hard can it be to give me a specific date???? 🤪
I favour drinking espresso (coffee) straight, no chaser.
Your videos are great. This episode is funny and interesting. Thank you 🙂
Glad you enjoy it! 😊
My best date/week advice is to add week number to the calendar on your phone then its right there when you need to check if you are free.
About making friends of Foreigners: It can take awhile. Trust must be earned. I am that way, actually, and I'm American. I am naturally reserved in real life, but, terribly chatty here. I ask a ton of questions of everyone online. I am naturally curious by nature in real life, as well, but ... ask stuff a bit more sparingly.
Tomorrow is the first day of week 40 - two weeks til fall break.
I ❤❤ Gummi Bears! I love Lakrids, as well, but the latter is quite the acquired taste, too.
I’ll take lakrids over pumpkin any time, even after 50 years in the USA.
If it wasn’t your name, it’s your smile that gives you away as a Dane! Moin from northern Germany!
Lakrids is wonderful but also not for the faint of heart. It is the realer real deal, thankfully.
Do you sell pecan pie, Erin? I just loooove pecan pie and haven’t had any for years.
Fashion note: I like Erin's jumpsuit. I'd love to own one. Might you two feel comfy asking her where she got it? ♥
As a language teacher, no ever talks about the weather. Sadly, all the textbooks teach it regardless of the language you are learning. 😂
If she has sweet potato pie, I'll make a day trip there for sure. I'm getting a little home sick and that might help.
You stole my line!
Am danish so I can't figure out if I should be flattered og angry. End result is, as always, none because I can't site it and therefore it isn't mine.
So now I am just happy it made sense to someone else and as a result I am content.
Cheesecake!!!!! Move to Sweden, they eat a lot of that stuff. 🙂
Underpants with day names? What about us that turn them inside out, on second day? 🙂
😂😂😂😂
Laughing at you guys saying you put pumpkin in everything but thinking´we use too much liqourice
Well we do that 2 months a year, not every day 😂
@@RobeTrotting 😅😅
It is raining 49% of the days in Denmark, not 80%. 765 mm per year. Do remember, sometimes It's only during night.
I usually say, we have the best weather in the world. It has made the country rich. Besides that, it is never dangerous hot or cold. It sometimes feels cold, it is mostly because of the wind. Just dress accordingly against the wind, and you will be fine.
If you love the wet, you will LOVE Seattle.
@@SuiGenerisAbbie Seattle it rains 43% of the days, but totally, 1003 mm per year. I am not so sure, I will swap. Those figures most mean that, when it rains in Seattle, it really rains.
@@Gert-DK No, not really. I have lived here for a loooooooong time. We get a lot of drizzle, actually and not torrential downpours.
@@SuiGenerisAbbie So drizzling all day is normal ?
Ours is more like short showers. Not always off course. There will be days when it seems to rain all day.
@@Gert-DK Mmm, I would not say that it is normal per se. Just that Seattle gets all sorts of rainier weathers. And, weather here can change on a dime, as well ... literally from minute to minute.
How very American. Irish, German and English name.
In Denmark you NEVER drink wine from a bottle!!
It would appear that’s incorrect though 🤔
Complaints about licorice in everything, after talking about putting pumpkin in coffee 🤔
That's only for one month a year and, as you said, only in coffee. Plus a lot of people hate it, it's not a national obsession, and we don't make everyone try it haha.
33:58 i can hear you never sat next to me and my wife, we talk ....
pie.. i am hearing cake
Oh, the loudness! That is one of the things I dislike the most about Americans. As a Norwegian
It’s a weird stereotype though - because it’s not universal and there’s a lot of loud Scandinavians (especially when you add some alcohol in the mix) 😂
Derek and Mike: I keep hearing the sound of banging on a table during this video. Is it me, or ...? It can be a little disconcerting. Just saying.
Seriously? drinking wine directly from the bottle!! wtf??
Yeah, I noticed it too, but didn't comment on it.
Wine, ALWAYS in a glass.
Pumpkin pie flavour in in coffee… 🤢 I'm sick already!!! 🤮
Americans are nothing in comparison to Italians when it comes to speaking loud.
