Scandinavians do have the best pastry tradition in the world, the rest of their food is crap though. Minneapolis has some great bakeries.
Disagree on the pastries point, though there are great Scandinavian pastries. Also disagree on the rest of scandinavian cuisine being crap, especially with what's been happening in the culinary scene there over the last two decades.
Italy and France laughs at such a ridiculous assertion.
Countries are not people. Americans who like to validate their opinions by putting them in the mouths of others make such claims. I have been a professional chef for 25 years. Professional baking texts are full of recipes that came out of the Scandinavian baking tradition. If you go to a traditional French patisserie more than half of what they are making has its' roots in Scandinavia.

French baking history is rooted in "Baklava" not Scandinavia. Most pastries have Mediterranean roots thanks to the Ottoman Empire. The word "bake" was borrowed from the Turkish word ba:klava.
The Midwest has a lot culturally, does baton rouge have Italian and irish fests? Jewish and polish deli's? Italian bakeries? German October fests? No you don't.
But, does the midwest have bread more festive than cornbread?
