Copenhagen Smorrebrod



Smorrebrod

The most characteristic, and perhaps the most appetizing, feature of Danish cuisine is the open sandwich, or smørrebrød , basically a thin slice of rye bread covered in fresh butter and heaped with an array of delicious foodstuffs. The traditional meal starts with a fish smørrebrød , followed by a meat smørrebrod and then a cheese smørrebrod (each washed down with a small glass of ice-cold schnapps). To the uninitiated, it can be a bit of a mystery which toppings go well together, though cafe and restaurant staff will always be pleased to introduce you to the mysteries of this Danish artform.

Smørrebrød come in one of three forms: either you order your toppings from a list of ingredients, or you construct your own sandwiches from a buffet, or you have your smørrebrod served up ready made.

don't combine different types of meat on the same slice of bread until you really know what you're doing.

Good restaurants for ready-made smørrebrød are Ida Davidsen and Cafe & Olhalle "1892" , while at Huset Med Det Grønne Trae and Hansens Gamle Familiehave you'll be ordering from a list of toppings. Fantastic and amazingly varied smørrebrod buffets can be found at Traktørstedet pa Rosenborg and Kanalen .
