The most typical line of Danish kitchen is the enormous variety of different sandwiches – “smerberds” which are used even as an independent dish, and also as excellent snack. In the country there are more than two hundred traditional recipes of various sandwiches with diversified “stuffings”, and any of them has its own name! Many of them become multilayered, and the products most unusual at first sight are combined: it is possible to meet a combination of fresh radish and pineapple, a hen and a salmon etc. Sandwiches are often submitted by salads, onions, a radish, sea kale, anchovies or separate sandwiches with salad weight. The most popular are original salad from macaroni, vegetables and a ham, or salad from a herring and a green string bean, and also salad from boiled fish with vegetables. Well and, of course, there is always a fish in prepared om very different ways and other seafood on the table.



Dishes from pork, especially a ragout with red cabbage, and also various sausages are very popular, which are submitted, like in Germany by a garnish from potato or cabbage with obligatory sauce. You should also eat fowl, basically – in a hot kind with sauce “mayonnaise” and a garnish from mashed potato. The Danish national dish considers “ryod-dreams-mez-flyoze” – dense berry soup-kissel with whipped cream. For a dessert it is necessary to try fine Copenhagen or Danish rolls (though Danes name them “Viennese”), and also an apple pie with currant jelly, jam and excellent Danish sweets.

In the country the enormous quantity of beer is consumed. Local marks “Tuborg” and “Karlsberg”, and also imported German grades are most popular. Fans of stronger spirits can recommend the well-known Danish liquor “sherryheringг” and vodka “Akvavit” which for some reason is more often called “schnapps”.
