Danish Delights
Demmark traditionally ranks among the happiest countries in the world despite its long, dark winter days. Could it be the food and drink? Here is some traditional Danish fare:
- Stegt Flæsk Med Persillesovs – Fried Pork Belly with Potatoes and Parsley Sauce (National Dish)
- Brændende Kærlighed – Burning Love (mashed potatoes, diced onions, and fried bacon)
- Smørrebrød – Open-face Sandwich
- Hønsekødssuppe – Chicken Broth Soup
- Pølser – Hot Dog (with apple ketchup, remoulade, mustard, onions and pickles)
- Forlorn Hare – Meatloaf
- Pickled Herring
Oh and BTW in Denmark, a ‘Danish pastry’ is called a wienerbrød (Vienna bread), of which there are dozens of different delicious varieties, from the iconic yellow custard pastry (spandauer), snegle or “snails”, and the super-sweet chocolate icing-covered direktørsnegl. Now we want one.
No other country in the world produces as much beer in relation to its size and number of inhabitants. Think Carlsberg. Makes a great chaser for a shot of Aquavit. Skål!
The greetings “hello” and “byebye” are hej and hej hej, respectively.
