Re: Grammar Time!
That’s not an idiomatic Norwegian sentence, although it would compile. “Jeg er et wienerbrød”, on the other hand, would sound right (if a bit odd, but that’s more about meaning than form)."jeg er wienerbrød"Not really. There are undoubtedly people around here with a better grasp of German than mine, but I think you could happily substitute Hamburger, Frankfurter, or Wiener with the same effect. You just need enough context to decide whether the word refers to a person or a food item named for said city. With Danish, it’s a little different, since I’m a Danish pretty clearly mark you out as a piece of pastry, unlike “I’m Danish”.
Isn't it the story "I'm a berliner" vs "I'm from Berlin" depending whether determiner "ein" is here or not? I remember vaguely something along this line.

In this chapter we introduce a number of advanced language features in C# to help us design flexible applications. In particular, we discuss several design patterns related to event-driven programming, generics and reflection (also known as introspection).

Even worse: the first Bibles had no punctuation, capital letters, vowels or spaces. Reading them was a task for a cryptologist.The first Bibles had no punctuation.
