Is 'Havregrynskugle' an english word? Or does it mean "rum ball" in another language?

It's a Danish word.

So, the correct term for the hors d'oeuvre: "rum balls" in Danish is ,,Havregrynskugle med rom"?

On my planet I guess google is broke because it never said: ,,Havregrynskugle med rom'' which would have meant "rum ball" in English. Just Havregrynskugle was one of the results coming up when I did a "rum balls" search.

Ah. I just googled Havregrynskugle and a picture of rum balls came up.

Because I use Google Groups, I think the search had some notion of what
I was looking for.

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/rec.food.cooking was open in
another browser window.

But, how do you know that rum is in them if the word rum (or rom) isn't describing what's in that picture? Cindy, you could pour Whoppers chocolate candy in a bowl and then claim that they're anything. I guess we just have to trust the picture.
