I live in Atlanta GA and my daughter and I traveled to Copenhagen in the fall of 2018. We both instanrly fell in love with it. If I were younger, I would move there. I love the Danes, their warmth, intelligence and down-to-earth friendliness, the delicious food - frikadeller, rugbrod, smorrebrod, herring, Carlsberg beer, marzipan anything (❤), so much licorice (🖤) - the quaint village atmosphere, the beautiful architecture, being surrounded by water (USN Captain's daughter), the multicolored buildings and fishing boats in the harbor, the beautiful castles and romantic gardens, the respect for ecology, the cleanliness of its streets, the quiet saneness and slower pace, the cyclists (yes, really!), the magic that is Copenhagen and, of course,...HYGGE! ❤🇩🇰
@@Opi0id-z TAK!! Thank you so much for your kind words. I certainly hope to visit again. If I could turn back the clock 15-20 years, I would make Denmark my home (and yes, I would struggle probably for several years, but I would eventually learn the language!😳). There's just something magical about Copenhagen. 😍🇩🇰🏰
Oh I just about died when he said, "I'm not so sure about the schnapps," and she rapid-fire-replied, "Yes you are!" So Danish. I love it. It made me so happy.
Thank you Sir, for making us Danes look good. You did a fantastic job and remember: Being a good host takes fine guests - and by the look of the video you matched that category 100%. Thank you!
Tivoli is not the olds amusement park i the world. Its the second olds. Tivoli is from 1843. Bakken is the olds from 1583. But they are both in Denmark
Let us be clear Bakken IS the oldest amusement park in the World, it is documented and agreed by both Tivoli and Bakken, and there have been no other disputes from anyone else, from wherever, whenever.
And they're very close to eachother. Only a 15 minute ride away from eachother on the S train. Heck Blomsterberg Cafe when it was still open was further away from Tivoli than Bakken is (That Cafe has closed down and has been replaced by a Price's Diner)
No Danish pastry brings me as much joy and nostalgia as Brunsviger. Cinnamon Rolls are a close second, but the occasional Brunsviger on Saturdays, and as cakes for my birthdays, it is just glorious.
Mette Blomsterberg seems to be the most lovely person! I loved watching her on this episode. I’m from the USA and seeing how most of us are trying to track down our roots, I took a DNA testa few years back only to find how strong my Danish blood is (I had some idea from my name, but that was about it) I have since gone there and felt eerily at home. I only spent a short time in Copenhagen because I spent more time near Odense but on my next visit I will definitely seek out some of Mette’s creations!
Just FIY, Tivoli is not the oldest theme park here. It's one called "Bakken" (directly translated to "the hill"). "Bakken" is actually the oldest theme park in the world.
@@lucaslucas191202 Bakken is almost 450 years old, quite a bit older than Tivoli. Tivoli is the one with the biggest budget though, so they do many things besides being a themepark.
I have been to other countries and I feel this system here in Denmark is one of the best, if not the best in the world. All is so well thought in every detail that works wonders. It's Wonderland.
You're so damn fortunate to get such inviting, inside access, to those people that live and breathe their life work, feeding, fueling the flavor of Copenhagen. Wow.
I love this show😍🤗 So nice to see Paul and all these beautiful cities. Since we can not travel it is so lovely to see all these sites and learning about their food
Is it just me or is Mette Blomsterberg presenting the famous Paul Hollywood as “John” when they arrive at Schønnemans (approx 4:50)? It sounds like she says “Det er John” (This is John) 😂
A friend of mine made a 100 ring kransekake for the 100th Anniversary of a Sons of Norway lodge. It needed an inner support dowel otherwise no matter how carefully done it would have been unstable. It tasted great!
As a dåne, who eats "Rugbrød" every day. I love smørrebrød. But on a daily basis, I just love rullepølse with some fresh cucumber . It's the best. But nothing compared to : Rugbrød med rullepølse, løg, sky og karse. Omg that is the best ❤️❤️
Great episodes. I really enjoy Hollywood’s shows. He is “Mr. Hollywood “ I always loved business trips to Denmark, as well as Sweden and Finland. Wonderful culture and cities.
I might have misunderstood what Paul meant with the wooden rollercoaster at Tivoli being the only one of its kind, but we do have another wooden rollercoaster in Denmark at another amusement/nature park. We call it "The old rollercoaster" and the amusement park is called "Bakken" which translates into Hill....as it is actually on a hill. The rollercoaster was introduced back in 1932 and I think the oldest rollerocaster (In Denmark at least).
Back in the 70ies, I visited a relative in England. He had escaped the nazi occupation in Denmark, got to the UK, joined the fight on the British side, married an English woman and ended up staying in London where he became fabulously wealthy. But - like the rest of the family - he never spent the moolah on luxuries. (His car was a Morris mini). His only luxury was really down to earth: Once a week an SAS captain would take a whole, freshly baked rye bread with him to England and send it to uncle. It must have cost a fortune. But it was DANISH RYE BREAD.
Funny how much of his accent he's not dragging the "a" out in marcipan. The best danish baker i have worked together with was a redhaired premium baker from Fyn. And mr. Hollywood is absolutely right. All the best bakers i have ever worked with all got those traits: Hardworking, wise, a bit of lonesomness to them and bit quirky. The only exception are french bakers. Some french bakers are so dedicated to their craft they sometimes seem a bit arrogant. I never forgot the first two things i was told when i started baking: " We are working with something that is alive" and "Bakers need to be good at dividing and work with numbersXD".
He's in Copenhagen, we don't draw out any vowels, we however speak very fast compared to people from Fyn and Jylland, although Torben sounds like he isn't from Copenhagen (the closer to Copenhagen the more "reduction" as it's called in linguistics happen, meaning vowels get shorter, endings are often left out and certain words are left out in daily speech) He's most likely from Sjælland though, possibly north - northwest. Again although he's a bit older so he might be rocking the 70s-80s Copenhagen dialect which is slower than the modern Copenhagen dialect (reduction has increased over time). He is definently from Sjælland though, and yes chefs and bakers are some of the weirdest people on the planet, chefs more on the anti authority side and bakers more on the hermit side LOL
@@DT-bp2om Scandinavians often complain about the weather, that does not mean we hate the winter months, sure you can listen to me, or to someone like yourself that thinks winters in Scandinavia last for 9 months.
I believe it has been said, Tivoli is not the oldest park. lol But another fun fact: That wooden roller coaster in Tivoli is the longest-running roller coaster in continuous operation in the world. :) There is another wooden roller coaster that's older in the U.S., but it had to stop running temporarily at some point, so Tivoli's has that bit of esteem. But more importantly, and what I found absolutely astounding and hilarious in a good way, is that the wooden roller coaster in Tivoli is actually "driven" by an actual human being, who sits at the back of the coaster and operates the brakes and such!! hahaha It makes it all the more fun and scary, I think, when one realizes that just one bad brake and the whole thing could go over! lol Anyway, thanks for the great video. :)
As a dane, I feel a bit sad/annoyed that most tourists only visit Copenhagen, but that's how it is with capitols I guess. For me, Cph is pretty much my least favorite place in Denmark, and also the 'least danish' in regards to original general culture and demeanor. Denmark might be tiny, but its various regions are vastly different. I hope tourists take the time to travel around a bit!
Much agreed. I think Copenhagen is the place with the most superficial people. Although I do gotta say, Ringsted is probably the worst place here. Copenhagen at least has something going for it. Ringsted is really just a shithole. With that being said, I really still think Copenhagen is superficial. After all, it's a city that tries its hardest to accommodate tourists. People should come out to the provinces more - it's nice here!
Weeeell there is hardly a "original general culture and demeanor" the culture and dememanor has always varied slightly across Denmark, it's incredibly common for island kingdoms. Plus the culture used to vary within islands aswell, like socio-economic class, while that still exists to an extend it is nowhere near the levels when the aristocracy was a thing. Ever since Copenhagen became the capital it has been more "international" because that's usually what happens with capitals, as you pointed out, this was true for Roskilde aswell as Jellinge probably, in fact any trade center is likely to be considered more "international" by it's local neighbours, simply because they are. "international" i think we can agree means more extravegant, more extroverted, more superficial from a Danish perspective, really i think this is just a personality of traders in general, while rural people always had a more mellow demeanor because rushing isn't going to get your crops grow faster, rushing and being extroverted, and a show-off has historically improved ability to sell stuff though.
@@omega1231 I think you're right to a great extent. And while I can certainly understand the comparison with Roskilde and Jelling, I still think modern Copenhagen is another beast entirely; I mean, most of inner Copenhagen is basically designed to make life easier for tourists - tourists who are only gonna be there for a maximum of 2 weeks. This is what creates this superficiality. I also completely agree on the point about “original culture”. Of course culture has always evolved and changed, and I'm not here to say that the culture we have out here in the rural areas is considerably close that of houndreds of years ago, but I would still claim that the provinces and rural areas are generally much more grounded in themselves, with much less of a “show-off” attitude - and this goes for the people themselves as well. I'd like to think that we stand by who we are and don't constantly feel the need to be on top of everyone else's game. When you live in such a small local community, we don't try to compete with one another - you simply can't afford that. We're too dependent on one another out here. We also don't have the luxury of being able to quickly get anywhere over a huge area. This means that we have a harder time meeting up with people who think like us, have the same political views as us, like the same thins as us. For example, let's say I'm a communist or whatever, just an example; if I live in Copenhagen as a communist, I can easily and quickly connect both digitally and phsyically with people who have the same political views as me. And so, when I have access to all the political gratification I could ever need, I can safely wage war on the people around me who don't think like me, since I can always come back to my political safe space. When you're born in, raised in, and live in a rural town, of course people are going to be different and have differing views and ideals. But we simply depend too much on each other to neglect one another. If we do that, we are cut off from the local community and the network of social benefits it gives us access to. So instead, we learn to accept that people think differently from us, even if we completely disagree with them politically or ideologically. And most times, when we actually sit down with and try to befriend those people, we find that, after all, they're basically just normal, friendly people. Keep in mind, @omega1231, this is not me trynna disagree with you or argue or anything. This is basically just an exercise for me to formulate what I think.
Germans have an advantage: nearly all know “smørrebrød”, because the Swedish chef of the Muppet Show is a Danish chef in the German version always singing “smørrebrød, smørrebrød, ...”
You should have visited Café La Glace. It is a very nice, little and old café in the heart of Copenhagen where they serve some of the best cakes - the famous, danish layered cakes (lagkager). They are very famous, super good; it is hyggeligt to be there, and it is expensive.
Traditional danish food isn't bad, it's just "poor mans food" meaning it's based on the diet of the working class, with very little influence from the upper class which was more pan-european in general for any most of European countries. The same is the case for the majority of the world, here we eat lots of pork, and we used to eat preserved pork in different ways and some of us still do (sylte f.ex.) lots of potatoes and basic sauce - that's about as tradtional it can get in Denmark and it's all based on what was available to the commoners in the working class AND the rising middle class in the 1940-50s, hence a lot of gelatine.
Tivoli is not the oldest amusement park in Denmark - That's Dyrehavsbakken (The Deer's Pasture's Hill), commonly referred to as "Bakken" (The Hill), it is in fact the oldest still operating park in the world, as it opened in 1583 :)
The absolute best! My husband and I married at Copenhagen City Hall on a Wednesday, and our little "after ceremony honeymoon" was riding our bikes to Skt. Peder's and getting some onsdagsnegle! Now we celebrate our anniversary by getting Skt. Peder's on Wednesdays. :)
I remember me and my Scottish (ex} bf buying some cinnamon rolls (snails) from frckin 7-eleven and he was like "this is like the best evaah" Hahaahahahha ha ha ha haaah
@@NonsensicalSpudz The hot dog, the hamburger, bagels, nor doughnuts are American, but citizens of the USA can certainly bless their immigrant forefathers for bringing them over, and celebrate their own cultural roots.
@@Different_Not_Broken Yea hotdogs have been a big thing here for a while.. they're nowhere near as big as they used to though.. Kebabs and Durum is the go to street food these days.
@@Spawnster It didn't start as one, but the amusement park part of it is still the world's oldest amusement park. The foresty park part is just even older.
“im not sure about the snaps” mette then saying “yes you are” is the most danish thing i have ever seen
In my family, it's not a question of liking snaps, but having the ability to get it down during a meal!

I hate snaps, but my grandfather does not agree.

very nice footage, I especially like the relaxed pacing.
@Paul excellent feature and I think you managed very well to capture the essence of Danish food traditions and not the least 'Hygge'!
"Slatten" was the way he took the snaps.
Mette is one of the best chefs In Denmark. Højtbelagt Smørrebrød er absolut the best food in denmark.

And while I can certainly understand the comparison with Roskilde and Jelling, I still think modern Copenhagen is another beast entirely; I mean, most of inner Copenhagen is basically designed to make life easier for tourists - tourists who are only gonna be there for a maximum of 2 weeks. This is what creates this superficiality.
I also completely agree on the point about “original culture”. Of course culture has always evolved and changed, and I'm not here to say that the culture we have out here in the rural areas is considerably close that of houndreds of years ago, but I would still claim that the provinces and rural areas are generally much more grounded in themselves, with much less of a “show-off” attitude - and this goes for the people themselves as well. I'd like to think that we stand by who we are and don't constantly feel the need to be on top of everyone else's game. When you live in such a small local community, we don't try to compete with one another - you simply can't afford that. We're too dependent on one another out here.
We also don't have the luxury of being able to quickly get anywhere over a huge area. This means that we have a harder time meeting up with people who think like us, have the same political views as us, like the same thins as us.
For example, let's say I'm a communist or whatever, just an example; if I live in Copenhagen as a communist, I can easily and quickly connect both digitally and phsyically with people who have the same political views as me. And so, when I have access to all the political gratification I could ever need, I can safely wage war on the people around me who don't think like me, since I can always come back to my political safe space.
When you're born in, raised in, and live in a rural town, of course people are going to be different and have differing views and ideals. But we simply depend too much on each other to neglect one another. If we do that, we are cut off from the local community and the network of social benefits it gives us access to. So instead, we learn to accept that people think differently from us, even if we completely disagree with them politically or ideologically. And most times, when we actually sit down with and try to befriend those people, we find that, after all, they're basically just normal, friendly people.
Keep in mind, @omega1231, this is not me trynna disagree with you or argue or anything. This is basically just an exercise for me to formulate what I think.
Copenhagen is okay, but it is not what I would show my foreign friends if they came here to visit.
Helsinki Finland has Linnanmäki amusepark.
Our wooden rollercoaster is about 65y.
And bigger than Tivolis.
Tivoli is not actually denmarks oldest theme park, that is called Dyrehavsbakken and it is actually 437 years old.
Omg ...I'm coming along for a look...I'm learning...yes!
Never have I seen a man so reluctant to take a shot. Prue would be ashamed Paul!
Danes: its called “smørrebrød”
Paul: that’s what i said, shermble
Germans have an advantage: nearly all know “smørrebrød”, because the Swedish chef of the Muppet Show is a Danish chef in the German version always singing “smørrebrød, smørrebrød, ...”
You should have visited Café La Glace. It is a very nice, little and old café in the heart of Copenhagen where they serve some of the best cakes - the famous, danish layered cakes (lagkager). They are very famous, super good; it is hyggeligt to be there, and it is expensive.
I've noticed that you use
Marzipan quite a bit....isn't it similar to Almond Paste ?
I use Almond Paste when making pinnolis with pine nuts 😊
Lovely show😀
Its So Amizing that you like the danish food so much.
Traditional danish food isn't bad, it's just "poor mans food" meaning it's based on the diet of the working class, with very little influence from the upper class which was more pan-european in general for any most of European countries. The same is the case for the majority of the world, here we eat lots of pork, and we used to eat preserved pork in different ways and some of us still do (sylte f.ex.) lots of potatoes and basic sauce - that's about as tradtional it can get in Denmark and it's all based on what was available to the commoners in the working class AND the rising middle class in the 1940-50s, hence a lot of gelatine.
brings back great memories of my trip there
He looks like the guy From the Vice documentary “UK’s scariest debt collector”.
It is him, Sean from Liverpool has found another path in life
Hahaha so true. Didn't think about it myself.
Tivoli is not the oldest amusement park in Denmark - That's Dyrehavsbakken (The Deer's Pasture's Hill), commonly referred to as "Bakken" (The Hill), it is in fact the oldest still operating park in the world, as it opened in 1583 :)
I am Norwegian, living in Denmark. I have a rye bread at home. I bought it when i settled here in 2007......
The cinnamon rolls at St. Peter's is super delicious!
The absolute best! My husband and I married at Copenhagen City Hall on a Wednesday, and our little "after ceremony honeymoon" was riding our bikes to Skt. Peder's and getting some onsdagsnegle! Now we celebrate our anniversary by getting Skt. Peder's on Wednesdays. :)
I want to go there now!
Come on then🇩🇰
I remember me and my Scottish (ex} bf buying some cinnamon rolls (snails) from frckin 7-eleven and he was like "this is like the best evaah"
Hahaahahahha ha ha ha haaah
I'm dainish and happy to see the recognishion
Love Copenhagen I visited back in 2017 the hot dogs are to die for
that feels like a weird one haha, go to copenhagen and then have a hot dog, which in itself is american
@@NonsensicalSpudz sorry dude but the hot dogs hit different in Denmark
@@NonsensicalSpudz also hotdogs originally came from germany . Get your history right ..
@@NonsensicalSpudz The hot dog, the hamburger, bagels, nor doughnuts are American, but citizens of the USA can certainly bless their immigrant forefathers for bringing them over, and celebrate their own cultural roots.
@@Different_Not_Broken Yea hotdogs have been a big thing here for a while.. they're nowhere near as big as they used to though.. Kebabs and Durum is the go to street food these days.
Danish and Swedish cinnamon buns are the best :). I really like some of the danish ones that almost gets a caramel crust on the bottom... nomnom
Yeah but they should be without disgusting pointless icing.

Hey! You shut your mouth that’s really good!
Tivoli is not the oldest amusement park in Denmark, it is actually a place called Bakken which is the oldest amusement park in the world.
Paul should of brought Prue for those Schnaps shots
allways have snaps with herring, it fits perfectly tastewise :)
The Guy Fieri of pastry
Awesome Paul...
22:12 took me sec to work out what he said there😂😂
When are you going to visit the best bakeries in Canada's ten provinces?
Tivoli is actually not the oldest themepark in Denmark. The oldest in Denmark (and the world) is called Bakken.
not true, bakken didnt start as a "amusement park"
@@Spawnster It didn't start as one, but the amusement park part of it is still the world's oldest amusement park. The foresty park part is just even older.
Wow...amazing
best show on UA-cam!
