Cultural : Food Customs.

Food custom

After four week of life in Denmark, our constat is that The Danish food is not really varied. For us, specialties are herring and hot dogs. We can buy cheap hot dogs in little shop everywhere! It's fun because its name is "Fransk Hot Dog", it's "French Hot Dog" in English....

There is even when some particulars meals :

The Smørrebrød: This is the national dish that has the appearance of small slices of black bread that can be covered with herring, smoked meat, eel, egg lump or hard boiled eggs. These meals are generally prepared at the home or consume on workplace.

The Wienerbrød: These are Danish pastries, sold in every bakery. Made with puff pastry, almond paste, they are always spicy with cinnamon, but also with cardamom, pecans and almonds.

There is almost not white bread in this country, the bread is always prepared with spicy and differents kind of cereals. There are a lot of bakerys! Our friend Germain, is happy because the french bread miss him.

We can find fish has all the displays. Of course, he’s less expensive that in our country. There is lot of herring and salmon cooked and packed of many ways. The frozen salmon is for example better than in France.

The food is generally much more expensive that in France. A complete meal like in France with entry, main course and cheese costs around 10 euros. Consequently, in school most of students eat exclusively sandwiches whose size varies according to their wallet.

I don’t know if the beer can be considered like a part of Danish food but it’s a big part of the country’s history. Indeed, Jacob Christian Jacobsen, the inventor of beer’s Carlsberg which product most beers that can be found here is a figure of this country and responsible of the construction of several historical & touristic monuments.

It exist some beers : Harboe, Tuborg...
