Mayo on a roast beef is 1 year in prison, like carrying a weapon. Repeat offenders will get hard labour in the ice mines on Greenland. First year without gloves. Dear DW, careful, spreading fake news like that can get the TV station in big trouble.
It breaks my heart to see this. it’s not mayonnaise and grated cheese, it’s Danish remoulade and grated horseradish and it’s one of the greatest classic of smørrebrød…
The “shooting star” version was invented to honour kosmonaut Yuri Gagarin when the first man in space visited Copenhagen some time in the early sixties.
I wish all these videos showing Danish smørrebrød would show the day-to-day, plain version in addition to the fancy version (which we call "højt belagt" = "high coated"). The plain version consist of just 3-5 components: 1. Rye bread (or white bread if you are a barbarian) 2. Ready-spread "butter" (or real butter if you feel fancy) 3. A main ingredient like a piece of cold-cut meat, liver paté, mackerel in tomato sauce, slices of a boiled potato / hardboiled egg / tomato / cucumber. Or you use various mixes like - "Russian salad" = chopped redbeet mixed with mayonnaise - "Æg salad" = chopped egg mixed with mayonnaise, salt, and some curry powder 4. Garnish, usually just 1-2 types, like remoulade or more mayonnaise, roasted onion (good with the sliced potatoes and tomatoes, but not mackerel), a sprinkle of herbs (chives, garden cress). 5. A sprinkle of salt, grounded pepper, more curry. When listed like that it begins to sound complicated, but in reality it is quite simple, low-key, and easily done. And you can indeed pick it up and eat it without the use of cutlery. Where it differs from the complicated, "high coated" version is that you leave out the fancy fresh green leaves, you leave out the freshly cut onion rings, fresh grated horse radish, fish eggs, pickled capers seeds, lemon splice, etc. All these things piles up making it necessary to use a knife and fork.
One of the most important thing about smørrebrød that doesn't get mentioned enough is the full-grain ryebread we use. It's cakey and dense and just delicious. (not the store-bought supermarket kind (unless it's from the bakery section)).
Whew! The sandwiches, or open-face meals, look lovely. I’m not a huge fan of rye bread. But they do look lovely. Oh, and I assumed the mayo was not just a generic bland dressing over that delightful treat. No worries or complaints from this non-Dane viewer.❤🇩🇰
you are not a fan of rye bread because you never had the real thing. even our neighbors the germans and swedes can't make it properly - it is a danish thing only. i've never had a proper ryebread outside denmark
We are not obsessed with it. Most people only eat it when they go out or at special occasions. We do however eat a lot of simply open-faced sandwiches with 1-2 toppings besides butter.
Excuse me, but I find it challenging to appreciate the concept of stacking an entire meal on a single piece of bread. It appears to be quite impractical, as the structure is likely to collapse after the first bite. I must admit that it is not particularly appealing to me
Italians put 3 things together and call it different things to sound pretentious. The french have 4 sauces, yet I bet you call them master of cooking right. I bet you burn pasta on the regular.
Correction: The roast beef smorrebrod was served with spicy mayonnaise (remoulade) and horseradish.
I cant believe you said grated cheese and mayo. Mayo may have worked, but cheese? Nah.

Thank you for sharing that. One of my least favorite combinations is mayo with cheese.
(:
Thank you, I was skeptical. Almost everywhere on the planet, mayo anything is mainly for tourists.
Thank you for sharing! I don’t like mayonnaise 😅
I guess the reporter wasn’t paying attention and during editing had to guesstimate whatever the contents were.. and yes, it breaks my heart too.
😂was wondering, too

Det lyder mere som håndmadder

Hmm... I can make my usual sandwich without the second slice of bread. This is eye-opening, and mouth watering.

Did you even do research, or did you just narrate over what you could see? It's Remoulade and Horseradish.
Sorry, our mistake : Horseradish it is!
Fascinating
Looks delicious!
Meghan Leigh back reporting! Yea!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Jesus that looks good

"mayonnaise and grated cheese" 😂
Where’s Vivian. She is a wonderful host to see besides hear. Please bring her back 🙏🏻🎉👏🏻
yum!

Smørrebrød is good but it should come with thick pea soup
Yeah, I tell you, there's nothing I crave more than a small, €17, open-faced sandwich. No accounting for taste!
They messed up the first one. NEVER rye bread with fish, when it's smørrebrød.
*plaice, not flounder
Yeah naah looks pretty ordinary to me
Poor music choice and editing for this one.
This guy calls himself a chef?😂

Yes. He put the lettuce with both hands. Do you have a problem with that?
Smørrebrød is literally just the Danish word for "Sandwich". Stop it.
