He's right about bacon and cabbage, when you're just getting the most basic elements in a dish and it's more subsisting than it is eating, there's like a primal satisfaction in knowing you're overcoming hunger with something so simple and lean
traditional danish cuisine can be quite heavy, reflecting our dreary weather half of the year, but i guess we can take refuge in the fact that new nordic cuisine is considered by many to be one of the most haute cuisines in the world, with danish michelin resturants often being voted as best restaurants worldwide
As an English guy who lived in Denmark for a while, I would say that Danish food is a lighter version of English food. Of food were seasons, British food is winter and Danish food is spring. Everything was less oily and definitely lighter. Except rogbrød, there’s a good reason your sandwiches don’t have two slices of bread
@@jackogrady3118as a Dane who lived in England for years, I gotta agree. The only dish we have that ventures into british-levels of heavy would be medisterpølse with mash and brown gravy, generally most of our main courses are lighter than a mince pie
@@jackogrady3118 this is both true and not accurate at all. i'm danish and it isnt uncommon to see working danish dudes devour 3-7 loaded pieces of rugbrød just for lunch! it's heavy as hell (and i can't eat that much of it) but a lot of people go through several loafs of rugbrød on a weekly basis. Sidenote British food is kinda great in a comfort food kind of way, coming from a Dane with a Yorshire wife

Øllebrød. Apparently my parents used to feed me that a bunch when I was growing up, but after the 80s it really fell off. Gule ærter tho, now that's still bangin'. It's like split pea soup.
As a Canadian who lived in Copenhagen, Denmark for 6 years, I can confidently say that pastry, holiday food, and Fransk Hotdogs with mayo, and some other foods I don’t remember the name of is just about all that I really liked there. Of course, black liquorice is fucking everywhere. Other than that, Denmark and Scandinavia is fantastic. Go visit if you can or if it’s near you.
The boiled meats and cabbage came from Ireland originally and was ham not corned beef. However the corned beef version is very common there. The corned bit comes from the shape and size of the salt used.
øllebrød slander is unironically unacceptable, øllebrød when you're sick is one of the best meals. It's got hot water, it's got some starch to make you full, you can even drizzle whatever you've got on it.
I'm enjoying my Sunday roast, and there's nothing you can do about it. No matter how many times I see "the brits colonized the whole world and never learned how to use spices XD", I'm still going to eat black pudding.
Hey Librarian, just wanna point out you wrote "Æbleflæsk" on the "Frikadeller" dish in the thumbnail, not that it matters much I suppose. In defense of my small nation I must point out that I never eat any of these dishes and did not even know of Æbleflæsk.
@@ahtunoThe eels are basically going extinct, it stopped making sense economically to make jellied eels in the ~70s-80s. They used to be so common people would fish them out of rivers with a net but they have an insane life cycle which involves migrating to the middle of the Atlantic to breed (they die afterwards), and for some reason we're not sure of (probably climate change) a lot of them are dying before getting there. Also the sushi industry has massively increased demand for eel which doesn't help either
Reminds me of a "causerie" by Mark Levengood I listened to many years ago. I don't remember the exact wording but it was along the lines of; "As a child, the only thing exceeding the excitement of getting something that looks like chocolate is the incredible disappointment after tasting it"
Now the thing is, I've never been to America but because the states are so large they would have more of a variety of food over there. Also that cheese on the cheeseburger looked wrong. The patty looked pretty good though.
