Denmark

We had the pleasure of travelling to Denmark for ‘D’ – not literally of course, but our lovely friends made us a three course Danish meal. We had SMØRREBRØD, that’s open sandwiches to you and me. We had fish, ham, cheeses, pates and all manor of exciting toppings. Us being us obviously stuffed ourselves on the first course and then struggled with the second!

Main was Frikadeller (meatballs), Kopenhavn Kartofler (Copenhagen potatoes – my favourite), Danske Stil Porrer (Danish style Leeks), Braiseret RØdkål (braised red cabbage) and Hvidkaal Med Kommen (Cabbage with caraway seeds). I wasn’t that fond of the cabbage as it had a lot of cream in, but the red cabbage and potatoes were lovely.

Pudding was a rice pudding (RisengrØd), but instead of being made with pudding rice and served hot, it was made with long grain rice and served cold. Jackie served it with cherries in brandy which complemented it beautifully.

All in all another great feed! It’s soon our turn to do ‘E’………..I’m planning the menu already!
