[ 9:35 ] - The open face sandwiches you get at restaurants are fancy versions of the normal open face sandwiches Danes eat at home or bring to work or school for lunch. The normal ones are not stacked that high. Often the normal ones are not eaten with a knife and fork, so the bread is there to get eaten, but also to transport whatever is on top of it into your mouth using your hands 😁

[@Jacob-Simonsen]

It hurts when people call smørrebrød for an open faced sandwich.

[@phaexus]

@@Jacob-Simonsen I don't like it either. It's an oxymoron. By definition a sandwich is not open and using the same standards a pizza is an open face sandwich. It's probably a translation challenge. "Smørrebrød" would loosely translate into "buttered bread", which is the foundation of this food, but for an outsider this would probably seem a strange name. I wonder who is behind naming it an open face sandwich. Are there other open face sandwiches?

[@80sNewWaveMusic]

@@Jacob-Simonsen Really? I don't care.

[@k_t_a66]

Its getting boring to see all those who always has to point out you can get it cheaper. Yes you can but this is a luxery version of Smørrebrød and frankly I prefer this over the normal boring ones. IMO of course.

Im danish(35 years old). My grandparents when they lived often made us kids fried porkbelly slices with boiled potatoes and a parsley sauce, or frikadeller/red cabage/brown gravy. As dessert we would get something like danish pancakes(which are flat/without baking powder) with homemade vanilla icecream. At christmas we would get something like cookies made with porkfat(not butter) it tasted really good. But we ate like they did in the country side or what some consider poor mans food. Enjoy your stay. Take care.

[@HerrBrutal-bl2fk]

@@kristianmuus5672 I'm an old Swedish man. As a child, I was allowed to wish for whatever gift I could think of as Christmas was nearing, but I always received the same thing; a good old sound thrashing, as it was believed to teach children to refrain from complaining. In Denmark you were trifle more liberal at that time and therefore got Christiania. In Sweden, we begun feeling inferior to how liberal and open minded Denmark had become, so we decided to let hundreds of thousands of Mid East and African immigrants in. Now, our schools are full, our hospitals are full and our prisons are full. I hope you understand this is because Sweden has been importing 'continental' ideas from Denmark for 150 years or so. 😀

The ketchup is a ketchup where there are mashed apple jam in it. In Denmark it’s called The sausage man's ketchup, you get at the hotdog stand.

[@anderspeterjohnsen8590]

Isn't is just shredded apples being used (as they are a locally produced and a traditionally lot cheaper to get here than more "exotic" tomatoes?) Same thing by the way goes with Tuborg Squash - Tuborg's take on an orange soft drink - which actually owes more of it's orange color to carrots than oranges 🙂

[@rickybuhl3176]

I don't care if it's shrimp, hotdog or just grapes - that snap/pop is just happiness in a bite. With pork, the expensive cuts and back bacon used to be sold to the British, so we learnt what to do well with the rest. Danish roast pork deserves the love though, the tenderloin isn't bad either.

Somewhat you are right regarding the Smørebrød. Normally we don’t get this amount on the ryebread. There is different versions of smørebrød which tells how much there is on. So the ones you got is what we call “høj belagt” smørebrød which usually are served in restaurants.. :) just as a info

It’s a statue tied to the Danish people’s cultural heritage through H.C. Andersen. This is the equivalent of people taking pictures of themselves next to the brick wall where Harry Potter and the rest entered the wizard world’s train station platform. Andersen is their Rowling pretty much. It’s not ”just” a statue of The little mermaid/Den lille havefrue. In Sweden we have statues tied to Astrid Lindgren (Pippi Långstrump/Pippi Longstocking), it’s the same type of cultural heritage tied to an author and their book world. In Scandinavia we hold academia/authors and litterature in genral very high (higher than celebrities). People always take pictures of themselves next to something cultural when they travel❤

While traditionally being considered amongst the junior of the Nordic countries when it comes to liquorice (the big 3 being Finland, Sweden and Iceland, with noone agreeing on who's top dog, and Norway enjoying liquorice from their neighbors but not really having a major domestic brand), Denmark has really upped the game and are challengers to the throne through Lakrids by Bülow. They have the full range, from the very sweet to gutwrenchingly salty and strong. I especially like the slow-crafted infused liquorice sticks (particularly enjoyed the whisky one), and their salted liquorice where you get a huge box of powdered ammonia salt to add ro taste is.. well, I enjoy it, but be careful. It will mess with your heart rate and blood pressure 😂

The roast pork for the roast pork sandwich (part 1) looks the way I prefer it. Just the meat, a bit of fat that is well done, and then the crispy skin. I don't like "marbled meat" (that is apparently the english translation). The roast pork and pickled red cabbage are traditional around Christmas in Denmark. With white and often brown (small potatoes fried in sugar) and brown gravy. Also often roast duck. Christmas lunches also often feature frikadeller and medisterpølse. Frikadeller is a traditional Danish "meatball" (not ball shaped usually) and medisterpølse is a thick fried pork sausage with extra fat. Directly translated with-fat-sausage. At least I've been told that "ister" is fat in latin.

[@akyhne]

13:00 That's not a hotdog. That's a "pølse med brød" - sausage with bread. It's for people who don't like hotdogs or just want a lighter meal than a hotdog.

The red colouring was originally to designate inferior quality. They are still perfectly fine, as what meat there is, was scrupiosly checked.

[@SimonRaahauge1973]

the red colour stems from the south jutland/sønderjylland reunification in 1921 after world war 1. everything sønderjysk came in fashion. and i germany, sausages that weren't sold the same day they were made, was to be dyed red and sold at a lower price the next day. and the allways bargainhunting danes would buy these red sausages in germany, today, the red colour remains. but the sausages are grade 1 anyway.

The problem with people’s perception of liquorice is that they mix aniseed with liquorice. Confectionary makers do mix them, but…most people have tasted aniseed, but never liquorice. This problem is that the confectionary makers all over the world call their aniseed ‘sweets’ liquorice. Which is like calling pepper, ‘salt’. They simply are not the same thing. I live in Australia, and people here think they like or dislike liquorice based on the fact they have tasted aniseed! I drives me nuts…..they are simply not the same thing….or even similar!

"An Angry Imam with a Prayer Rug and the Blood of the Infidels" means a heavily roasted sausage with some bread and ketchup on the side. You get the picture ...

These "typical" danish open sandwhiches we see these days in many restaurants or here on YT.. Theyre not that typical. Well, guess theyre typical at this point. But theyre not original. The true original open sandwhich is limited in scope, both in terms of size and in what you can put on it The open sandwhich became common during the urbanisation where people from all over the country moved to the big cities. Each region had their signature dish, and the open sandwhich became a small presentation of that dish, with everything it included then slapped on a piece of bread. People would eat several slices of bread, with several different dishes on them. These giant-sized versions we see today is NOT true original. They are common, and they are good. VERY good. But you kinda want to downsize them by a lot, so you can taste a lot of different versions. The idea is NOT to eat one huge, the idea is to sit around a table and eat a lot of different versions, starting with heering.. - and it doesnt hurt to wash it down with a cpl of snaps.. just to stay authentic. 1 snaps pr sandwhich isnt to far off, - dont forget to leave the carkeys at home
