One of the things Denmark is known for are it's open faced sandwich, or Smørrebrød. This week we decided to grab a few and try them out. We walked a bit outside of our comfort zone to experiment with ones we wouldn't normally eat.

See how it goes and learn a bit about the wonderful dessert we had afterwards as a reward. Plus some shots of snaps for good measure!

  • @BleedingFish
    It's funny to see someone not likeing leverpostej. I think a Dane would loose citizenship if they didnt like it haha

    Stjerneskud (Shooting Star) is both steamed and fried plaice on toast, with salad underneath the fish, with shrimps and lump-fish roe on the top. 😊 It’s considered a starter dish in a traditional danish 3 course meal, rather than a type of smørrebrød. (Mainly because it lacks the ryebread) Great videos! We love watching everyone of them 😁👍💪🇩🇰
  • In Denmark it is a tradition to start with anything fish- or seafood related and then go on to the remainder of the smørrebrød.
  • I’m Swedish and my favourite Smørrebrød is the one with liverpate,fried bacon and meatjelly 😋
  • Here in DK we do actually have not one but two Napoleon's. One is a Napoleonskage (Napoleons cake) which is a crust at the bottom, then a thin layer of raspberry jam, a layer of custard and whipped cream at the sides. Then a layer of crust, decorated with a thin layer of frosting and piped whipped cream. The other cake is a Napoleonshat (Napoleons hat) which is a puff pastry, with a spoon of marcipan in the middle and then the puff pastry is folded into a triangle, when it's baked, flat side is dipped in melted chocolate.

    Thank you for the video and being so open-minded about Danish culture/food. :-)

    The kind of smørrebrød you eat in the video is what we Danes would call "højtbelagt smørrebrød" - directly translates to Highly coated smørrebrød. That kind you often get at big lunchens og special events. Most Danes eats smørrebrød at lunch, but those are called håndmadder, mening hand food (able to eat without fork and knife). Those kinds don't have as much topping, but are more simple. The leverpostej you got could probably provide leverpostej to 4-5 håndmadder.

    Man, started to binge your videos today. I really love your positive energy.
  • @ArthurOfThePond
    I feel like there should be a national program where you can sign up as a Dane and then you get assigned a new-comer and like, show them around and introduce them to the food and culture
  • @SrenBruun
    Ohh, you need a cold beer with the snaps and smørrebrød :-)
  • Holy Batman - Miranda likes that fastelavnsbolle... She is forking it down and letting Joshua just talk 😂😂
  • Always exciting to find a new channel on the tube. Now I have found yours. Great stuff. Very entertaining, Please continue
  • @muhest
    Traditionally you start the smørrebrødsbord med fisk (Alt godt fra havet). So it is usually: Herring, (marinated white and red) Fiskefilet (deboned fish in batter), eggs and shrimps and then it becomes personal taste on how to proceed. Always leave room though. Cuz once you’ve had smørrebrød, cheese in all varieties on toast, crackers and biscuits are usually ending the lunch. And fastelavnsboller is not eaten with knife and fork. If you’re not greasy and dirty after eating one, you’re doing it wrong. 😂

    It’s always fun to see foreigners view on Danish culture since I have gotten so used to it that I sometimes forget that some of our traditions aren’t exactly normal. Good video! Cheers! (Skål)

    I definitely get funny looks from my husband when I make my own version of smørbrod. Also, when I want 'breakfast bread' when it's not breakfast time. 😸
