For an American to make such a review of a hotdog should speak volumes about the Danish hotdog since hotdogs in America are taken very serious. Danish food has actually always been pretty good, but it has been taken to a new level the past 20-30 years.

Yes, in Denmark we have a very strong food culture. We are also very progressive and that is the very reason we have some of the worlds best restaurants such as Noma always pushing the limits of what is possible. However, traditions dictate that you must try our national dish "Stegt flæsk med persillesovs og kartofler" (fried thick cut bacon slices served with white potatoes and white parsley sauce).

[@BenjaminVestergaard]

In general, since a tad before 2010, there's been a not insignificant amount of focus on the raw ingredients used for making traditional food. So, even our classics exist in "gourmet versions". Anyway, I'm happy you appreciate our traditional hotdog... To be honest, I was a little disappointed when I tried a street food hotdog in NYC the first time. Same about that famous NYC pizza... I would prefer the freshly baked one from my local, Turkish or Albanian run, pizzaria... Of course we have Italian pizza too, but it's further away and cost a bit more... What I saw in NYC was that 4 out of 5 places would just reheat a marguerita with the toppings you asked for... Here every pizza is made from dough, and you get it within 10 mins... Edit: next time try beuf tatare or Parisian stake... But I'm afraid that France know how to do those as well, even though Mr. Bean doesn't approve.

[@sambyrod8179]

Thank you for watching the video and I must admit that you’re classics are quite good with better ingredients It is not surprising that you were disappointed about the food in New York the street food hot dog is sort of hit or miss and be quite frankly it is not as good as the Danish Street hotdog the pizza is mostly reheated if you buy by the slice there are a few places where you can purchase things by the slice and it’s good but they are not the norm And I will look to try the Parisian steak it sounds delicious

[@litterbox_]

The thing that I find super amazing about Scandinavian cuisine, is that everything is super seasonal. But as someone else mentioned, the Christmas dinner with long roasted duck, sugar coated potatoes, pickled sweet red cabbage and a rich and savoury sauce is absolutely amazing. I hope you'll get to try it!

[@ciganyweaverandherperiwink6293]

Yes, in Japan too. Everything revolves around the seasons. I really love that. Here in England people buy imported, flavourless strawberries in December and asparagus in January, oh dear. It'd be lovely to have a stronger, better supported farming industry here as it would be a win-win, I would assume? We'd have top quality fresh, local produce instead of flavourless nonsense flown in from abroad. I'm unsure why Japan can sort out its farming and domestic economy and we cannot. I'd love to sit with someone best positioned to furnish me with an explanation of the economics behind this. It's wince inducing to see how low people's standards go, to see them buying sour, rockhard stone fruits in November that will NEVER EVER ripen and develop flavour. I genuinely wonder why people buy fruit that in Japan would be seen as a failure and not to be sold under any circumstance.

[@Zivilin]

The sugar coated potatoes is either hated or loved. My family don't have that for christmas dinner.

[@Thomas-lk5cu]

@@ciganyweaverandherperiwink6293 In Denmark we buy produce that are out of season too, such as salads in the winter, and we also buy tons of bullshit flown in from places as far away as New Zealand (avocados, kiwis, for example). But at least our cuisine is themed after the hot and cold season, so most people enjoy soups, roasts, lots of potatos etc. during the winter, and fresh salads, pastas etc. during the summer. With regards to Japan, I've been there thrice, and you have to consider the size of the country. Japan stretches across no less than 3,800 kilometers, and the country is divided between 3 climate zones: Subarctic, extratropical and subtropical, so they can actually source a lot of different produce from within their own country.

[@SickIntentions]

personally i feel like if you have to do something, do it properly or don't do it at all, wasting raw ingredients to make a mediocre meal has always been a tragedy in our home, my cookbook has been inherited twice before my mom gave it to me :) by now its falling apart so its in a binder :P its a cultural thing i think. Also, i can cook every dish you showed on the screen XD I never visited the house of grain though, I think I will, thank you so much for sharing with us!

Thank you for watching thank you for the encouragement and here in no particular order Yes I found a house of grain fascinating enjoyable and very tasty because I don’t live in Denmark I think I’d be actually be able to make those dishes and I’m impressed and a little envious and I think it is important to keep up traditions. I have no cookbooks from my family and it is a tragedy to put the effort into making a meal cooking a meal and having it come out mediocre when it probably would only take a little more effort to make it a superlative meal thank you again

Everybody I know who has been to Denmark has returned RAVING about how wonderful their experience was. They almost don't know where to start; is it the food? The people? The cultural values that are in action in small ways every day? I'm so curious, I'd love to visit now that international travel seems to be getting better organised (here in the UK it's been shambolic). I wonder why you targeted American people in this video? How intriguing. Good luck with your channel, I love researching holidays and great KZbin videos have helped me soooooo much in the past. 😊👍

It’s true I don’t know where to begin cause I think you’re right it’s sort of the totality of all the things taken together yes the food is delicious and there’s just a nice piece to being in Denmark things aren’t events like they are in the United States. There is kind of like a content process to life. I think the reason why I targeted Americans in the videos is because I am an American so I am looking at things from an American perspective though I suppose the message is rather universal.

Living in Copenhagen, it's great to entertain British or American guests, you guys always spot the funniest little details and notice cultural things I've never really pondered or have taken for granted. I think what especially Americans and British fall in love with, is the ease of it all - everyone speaks your language and most of the information is available in English as well, it's one of the safest places to visit on Earth ... and with a healthy life/work balance, we like to focus on the good side of life and share it with guests.

If you ever get to come here in the colder months you'll be able to go on oyster safari (Østers Safari) near the Island of Rømø. There are other places but I can't remember where. There are guided tours. I can't remember the price for it, but oysters themselves are free. Officially it's only in the months with an R in the name (the danish named months) but because the temperature has rissen fairly dramatically it will be safer to keep it to the colder months. Eating the oysters will allways be at your own risk.

Hungry in Denmark? Some hundred years ago, we actually had a famine here. People starved. It did not please the King, and he said "Never again shall the Danes go hungry". He started a uniqe arrangement. He ordered Universities and learned people to research and develop the agriculture. It is a practice that is still in use today, combining agriculture with science. We do produce food for 13 million people each year. Take a country as the UK. They can only feed half their population. An Indonesian agricultural Professor, was in DK a year studying why we can produce so much food. He made some calculations, that showed that DK could feed 30 million people in a pinch. The Danes shall never go hungry again.
