For someone from this part of the world, there is usually no reason to visit Vejle on the Jutland peninsula of Denmark. However some years ago I had to go there to meet an important customer. Before that I had not even heard of the place even though in the 19th and up to the mid 20th century it was an industrial city and also known as the Manchester of Denmark.
A few months later at home while having breakfast I picked up the bottle of jam, the contents of which I had just put on my toast. To my surprise and delight the jam was from Vejle, Denmark. Suddenly it was more delicious.
It is wonderful what travel does to you.
