every country has its specialty. when I went to London the fish and chips were 👌, when I went to asisi Italy the gelato was 👌 and I ate at a country side Italian restaurant with homemade pasta dough and sauce and local red wine and that was just oh my god I want to come back in a year or two. beautiful place too.
I've recently decided to backpack across Europe with my husband when he graduates uni, and I'm SO happy I discovered these videos. Mark is so knowledgable and I've learned so much from these videos already. Subscribed and thank you!!
Oh yes! This was always my dad's favorite. His family was Danish and he'd gone back there for a few years of university, and every time we go to DK, that is literally the first thing he orders.
Cinderbloom We have that over here in Denmark. Bacon liver paté. You should get pickled beets or anything pickled in general, and put on top of it on the bread. Make sure there's not room for more on top when you add it. You want a slice of the pickled goodness with every bite. Trust me. It makes the whole experience so much better.
Denmark is near the border where I reside in Hamburg and so is Netherlands.I have been several times to Denmark.I also like Long Island,Queens,Maine and Bronx in N.Y.. Which has history of various cuisines and so does Puerto Rico.I have also have had different types of foods in India. TONDER AND RIBE in Denmark are my favorite destinations.Copenhagen is hectic and Commercialized.
Went to Demark to try the new nordic cuisine. Outstanding! Also enjoyed other Danish food as well. Wonderful country. The Danes are not stand offish at all. Had some nice conversations and they were very helpful.😮
One thing I learned to appreciate once, was smoked salmon and horseradish salad. It goes splendedly together. Another thing, is our "Frikadeller" -no n's in the word (I have English friends so I know it's tempting) to me, the frikadelle, goes perfectly well, to our REmoulade (matching a tatar sauce, according to the dictionary)
You cannot visit Denmark without trying our "Stegt flæsk med persillesovs" (Fried pork with parsley sauce). That is, in my opinion, THE best Danish food you can get. Period. :-) In Copenhagen, there is a place called Hansens Familiehave (Hansen Family Garden) located at Pile Allé. They serve traditional Danish food (smørrebrød, pork dishes, fish/herring etc). Go there. You won't regret it.
Hear hear.. Stegt Flæsk med Persillesovs is a MUST have.. (and goat forbid if they make the sauce too thinly.. It should be the step before being served in slices.. thick as mud and heavy as a brick.. And looking at Wolter, no offence man but, you should really try the all you can eat, see how long you can last.. (remember a good beer or two to go along with it, my personal taste would say a Tuborg Classic, since i think it's heavier than a Carlsberg ("Hof", as we call it) or a Green Tuborg, but still crisp enough to go well with the salty flæsk, and parsley
Stegt flæsk med persille sovs is Thor best. I live In a city in Denmark and There is a restaurant called Dolly’s in Horsens and They make the best stegt flæsk ever
Danish people are the nicest, super friendly with tourists. My day and a half in Copenhagen was fantastic. Such a beautiful city, beautiful lively markets, you can just lose yourself in the market and visit the city at the same time. Traditionnal and modern mix very well, great city.
We just enjoyed a very good delicious danish pastry - made in Australia- I think according to danish recipe. It was the most danish like pastries I have had in this country, Australia. Cant wait for my daughter to try them in Copenhagen!!!!
Well.... I am going to make a large list for you. I have written the names in Danish for you, so it will be easy. First up, the supper dishes. - Frikadeller med kold kartoffelsalat. - Frikadeller med brun sovs og hvide kartofler. - Forloren skildpadde. - Forloren harre med brun sovs og hvide kartofler. - Tarteletter (høns i asparges). - Flæskesteg. - Gammeldags grydestegt oksebow med brun sovs og hvide kartofler. - Hakkebøf med brun sovs og hvide kartofler. - Hakkebøf bearnaise. - Boller i karry. - Svinehjerter i flødesovs. - Karbonader med stuvede grøntsager. - Millionbøf med kartoffelmos. - Stegt flæsk med persillesovs. - Blodpølse med sirup og kanelsukker. - Blodpølse med æblemos. - Æbleflæsk. - Stegte ål. - Smørstegt rødspætte. Next up, sweet stuff. - Brunsviger (just keep away from those with cinnamon, found in copenhagen) - Romkugler. - Cocio, chokalademælk. - Salt lakrids (strong licorice, be aware) - Pålægs chokolade. Hope this little list can be of some use for you.
Yes our pastries are amazing, We get them soooo often here and we never gets tired of them. For some it's almost a tradition to get pastries every morning on a Sunday with their breakfast. Love your travel videos. 🇩🇰🇩🇰
This comment is not about the video above but it is a small confession from a devoted fan of your channel. Many times when I talk with some people about travel destinations around the world, I tell them many things about countries that many of them think I've visited them a lot of times. The funny thing is that a lot of the information is taken from your videos. Thank you a lot Mark for the free travels you offer us. Greetings from Greece and I expect you and your family in our country again!
(Coming from a Danish-American that is very proud of his Danish heritage,) You are saying Smorrebrod right! There is a Danish drinking song that my family sing. Its called "Hanskeliva"! Also when Danes drink, they say "Skol!" It's Danish for "Cheers!"
Also, there is a cake that Danes make and eat for weddings, birthdays and special occasions (mainly for weddings). Its called a Kransekake! It's translated into "circle cake" its almond based and is layered like an American wedding cake but is much thinner and wider. It consists of 12 layers. For those Americans who would like to try Scandinavian food (mainly Danish), there are a few Nordic restaurants in New York, NY. One is called "Akavit", which is in Times Square by Rockefeller Center They make they're own Akavit and they flavor them too! Very tasty! Another one is called "Copenhagen". I haven't been to there yet, but I plan to go!
We live from whats here - fish and pork. Our fishing industry, pork/cattle farms and rye farms are our main food sources. I love how you got everything right, your pronounciation and all. Your impressions made me smile, but in a good way - its just when this is presented by a foreigner, you sudenly realize a lot of basic stuff you never thought about. Cheers!
Roast pork with parsley sauce is our national dish and is in fact only common in Denmark. Ofc other people around the world may make it but it is very uncommon in other countries. It's like eating homemade chinese food in Denmark. It's uncommon.
ROEDGROED ISN'T REALLY A PORRIDGE - ITS MORE LIKE A SEETHROUGH FRUIT JELLY (MADE FROM BOILED STRAWBERRIES AND RHUBAB STRAINED) IN WHICH ALMONDS ARE 'SITTING.' SERVED IN A GLASSBOWL FOR THES-THROUGH EFFECTTOPPED WITH WHIPPED CREME AND SOME WHOLE, FRESH BERRIES FOR DECO.
Mark, thank you sooooo much for this video. I'm a foodie just like you. I appreciate all the food videos you post. Yes, I am overweight but I am not obese. I believe our quality of life is enhanced so much by eating good foods and drinking good beer.
+Marhoru ... Nope romkugle and trøffel is NOT the same... Not in Jylland either... Romkugle has rum og rumflavour added, whereas trøffel does not.... You should go for the trøffel... and also - buy it at the bakery - not in the super market!
You Can also go to California because a dane Went there and build a town based On an old Danish town called solvang You Can get Danish StuffIt NOT normally found in The US
+woltersworld A Romkugle in its traditional form is: All the cake (usually chocolate cake) from yesterday, which you can't sell anymore, smashed together with some rum extract and then you'll get a small ball of cake. Although, at this time a lot of bakers tend to bake cakes for the purpose of making a Romkugle (It can be translated into: Rum ball)
Oh, you should try homemade mead, like the ancient viking honey-beer-ish brew, it's super yummy, and drink it out of a big horn, that's how we roll! And btw thanks for some great vids!
You should make a point of trying "Æggekage" when you come to Denmark again, it translates as "eggcake" and it's a kind of scrambled Egg baked in a frying pan, served with smoked pork and garnished with chives and served with ryebread. There are local variations, and if you're in Jutland you should try eating lunch at "Hvidsten Kro" , they are famous for "Æggekage" with the recipe passed down at least 3 generations. That way you will get a good Danish dish and a dash of history added. I'm sure you'll enjoy it.
okay so i live in copenhagen and here is what to really eat, 1. if you want to get real good hotdogs go to nimb wich is right by tivoli, they make gourmet hotdogs and is definitely something you should try if you visit 2. if you can afford and can get a reservation, try to get in at noma 3. go to "torvehallerne" or "papirøen" aka copenhagen street food, wich both just are danish food mekkas where literally no matter what stand you go to, the food is great 4. try getting raw food, i know that it's not something you can only get in copenhagen but we're getting more and more raw bars and they're great, you should try either "raw 42", "palæo" or basically any raw bar at cph
In case someone hasn't mentioned it (Haven't read ALL the comments) is that remoulade is a picallily (finely chopped mixed pickled veggies, mostly cucumber and cabbage) mixed with mayonnaise. And yes, it's that tasty!
How are hot dogs at #1 and herring at #3? Who have you been talking to? I'm proud of our kryddersild. That's the good stuff! I prefer it on rye bread, with pickled cucumber and onion rings.
The thing that I loved in Denmark was their fries, (crisps of french fries, whatever), they make them at the train station in Copenhagen and it takes 15-20 minutes. They take fresh raw potatoes and fry them, first on low heat and them on high heat for the perfect french fry. 💗
Awesome video. I have visited Denmark quite often and I love the danish hot dogs. You should make more videos about the food of all the countries that you've visited
bboydavid98 I am going to do that from now on. I was traveling with friends and they were like "you have to do food!" so I finally made one. I will film a bunch this summer so hopefully that can build up some hungry tummy viewers :)
Mate, next time you come visit us, go to Aarhus! Copenhagen is nice, but Aarhus is rather different. Not as tourist-minded. Also, you gotta try some Danish liquorice!
woltersworld Should it ever happen, send me message, and I'll buy you a drink! I'm always happy to meet new people; particularly ones who aren't Danish.
When you come back, you should get brunkål (brown cabbage) it really really traditional ;) and tasts great :) oh and you should come back around Christmas, and try our Christmas food, everyone loves it ;)
Try an oldfashion bøfsandwich (beef is minced) and brown sauce on top. Make sure that the beef, bread and sauce are homemade! At least the beef and sauce! You can usually get them, where you buy the hotdog. This can’t be eaten without a knife and fork! If you are on a restaurant, try flæskesteg (owenroasted pork) with everything. Which include at least two kinds of potato, something sour like “asie” (a sort of pumpkin) or cucumber and rødkålsalat (salad with red cabbage). Especially the sauce is great. Everything have to be homemade!
Pork belly with parsley sauce and potatoes, Danish meat balls with either potatoes and brown sauce or potatoe salat, Pork roast with crispy skin either as a sandwich or as a dish with potatoes and brown sauce. Just to name a few.
"Rooomelaud" hehe.. But yes, after the first time I had a Danish remoulade IN DK (I think I'd had it at my grandma's house growing up, but wasn't quite the same), I realized that I'd been attempting clumsily to concoct a similar condiment for years (in a way that disgusted friends and bystanders alike)... The recipes I got from Danish sites really elevated my sauce-mush. :) It is the single most satisfying addition to roast beef, hot dogs, fish dishes, and all sorts of things.
You should try one of the most eaten dishes: Stegt flæsk med persille sovs (roasted pork with parsley sauce) often served ad libitum.Doesn´t sound at much but it is delicious!!!!!
Mark is 100% correct on the Danishes. I grew up in the USA eating American "Danish" pastries all my life. In 1997 I started working for a Danish company and started traveling there. Once I had a true "Danish" pastry in Denmark, it was game over for the American version. I never get them here in the States anymore. Never.
Best things are! Remoulade! Carlsberg, Tuborg and Royal (I usually tend to buy Royal). Aalborg Akvavit :P I lived in Aalborg for 6 years and that snaps is EVERYWHERE! Arriving at a party and there will be a person serving a snaps just when you enter through the door. And later he'll just walk around with his shot glass (or horn) and bottle and ask if you'd like another... and another etc.
As a Dane, i must say that, the beer you should have is a Hancock Høker Bajer. Tuborg/Carlsberg, are the bland normal, sad beers we have in Denmark. But the Høker bajer, has gotten the "contrys best beer" award couple of years in a row, so for a normal pilsner, thats the beer to go too.
Yes, the Bakery is a must! That hotdog stand is usually on Nørrebtogade-Jagtvej intersection by the 7Eleven. Thursday and Friday nights 😍😍😍 opt for their hotdogs beats a kabab anytime 😆
Although hotdogs are considered cheap fast food here, it is also one of the best tasting foods you can get here. You would need to go to a high-end restaurant to get better food. For the best hotdog in our capitol I would like to recommend the stand (pølsebod) at the back entrance to the central station near Istedgade. This is also one of the most unsafe places in our country, so be careful about pickpockets. But I personally feel safer here than in most other European capitols. As for "snaps" (our national hard liqueur), remember that it is usually drunk when eating pickled herring on rye bread. And we have this saying that you will limp if you only have one shot of snaps, so you are supposed to have at least two or any even number, although that is not enforced if you do not want to. In my opinion it tastes horrible, which is probably the reason most high-end places serve it directly from he deep freezer.
Ryebread with leverpostej IS A MUST!!!! And Frikkadeller (a kind of meatballs) Also go outside of copenhagen, you would find a completly different country in Jutland
There is a lot of new not-so-great bakery in denmark at the time.. Seek out the old ones (mostly owned by natives) also called "Konditor" for the really good stuff ;) Thx for all the nice Words about our food!
Definitely try a "Bøfsandwich". Its basically a big burger, with all the extras and lots of onions, and brown sauce. Its a mess to eat, but it just soo good!
You should realy try Flødeboller next time you're visiting Denmark. You can buy them in almost every gro. It's a really popular thing among kids and grown ups. It's hard to explain what it is but it's a kind marshmallow covered of dark chocolate with a waffle in the bottom. And it's so yummy
Hi Wolter 😊 You missed our national dish: Grilled pork belly with parsley sauce. You kan have in traditionel Danish restaurants. You have to try is Brændende kærlighed, or Burning love, is an old danish dish with mashed potatoes, crisp bacon bits and soft fried onions. Brændende kærlighed is a danish comfort food, and a really cheap one.
Honestly please go eat the pastries at our bakeries for there's been a lot of talk about how our bakeries are closing down because of the bake-off thing in supermarkets and it's super freaking sad for bakeries are sooo much better! So please do and keep 'em alive!
sklayero Also i recommend ''Ale No. 16'' by ''Bryggeriet Vestfyen''. Very few restaurants has it but you can buy it in ''Fakta'' for 20kr (4$) for ½ liter (0,12 gallons) and it's super good. (As i wrote in another comment) And no, i still don't work for them, i just personally think the classic Tuborg and Carlsberg beers are crap and of course i want the tourist to try the better beers. National pride is on stake here!? xD
I enjoyed these video's of Denmark that you made. If you can, you should try and come to Denmark near Christmas and have a traditional danish Christmas dinner. You won't regret it.
I can't help myself. Though you might be back in the US now, I'll have to correct/enlighten you regarding the "beef tartar". It is in fact smoked salmon and it's delicious. I take it from your comment that you steered clear from it thinking that it was raw beef, but if you are to return, please taste it :) From all the smørrebrød it is the most aristocratic :D
Fabulous vlog! Love the foods of different countries! Such an interesting topic! Please do more vlogs like this! As a European traveler and Scandanavian, I adore Scandanavian food and could live on herring. lol. I think perhaps a secret of youth for us Scandanavians! BTW, on the hot dogs in Denmark, are they sweet or dill pickles? Must make them this week!!!!
ingrid A few fans had written asking about doing food videos so i thought i would try it. I am glad to hear it was good :) I am heading to Sweden, Norway and Iceland this summer. Any traditional Scandinavian treats i should have in those countries? (i know Iceland isn't really Scandinavia, but they are close-ish ;)
woltersworld My top 3 Swedish dishes that i recommend that you try while in sweden :)1: Fläsk med löksås-(onion suace) Fläsk-(like bacon but thicker) 2. Rödspätta-(fish) with potatos and Remouladsauce 3. Ärtsoppa (peasoup) and this delicious soup should be enjoyed on a thursday it´s a tradition to do so :)
You lucky Walter! All my relatives live there all over Sweden!!!! Yes, Swedish meatballs, and with the pea soup, don't forget the dollop of mustard on it. Also the beer there comes om Class 1, 2, 3, 4, one being the least alcoholic and 4 the strongest, interesting! Also you may find it very odd they eat fish for breakfast, a salmon pate which comes in a tube like toothpaste is yummy on knackbrod! Good Luck~
And actually, when we danes go to Sweden, the first thing we are gonna eat is also a hotdog, because they put some other stuff on it, so for us, it's a must try. Regards from Denmark
+xx_MLG CORD_xx yes denmark makes the best bacon but we sale nearly all of it and leave the crappy bacon to our self. of cause you can pay a bit more to get the luxus bacon we did not sale but that is your choice.
I live in a small town in the United States. It’s very Danish. So much, in fact, that we have a functional Danish windmill that was brought from Denmark piece-by-piece. But do you know what the biggest tragedy is? While we have medisterpølse everywhere, we don’t have rød pølse.
If you want more than just a lager beer, then try "Amager Bryghus". Their "Tulsa Twister" IPA, seven sins beers and in general most of their beer is really great. There is also Hancock's "Gambrinus beer". In fact, there are a lot of beers! Oh boy.
Hey our national dish is "stegt flæsk med persillesovs" it is common to get it with all you can eat ;) Also everybody should try danish christmass food. It is really good imo.
If they come to Copenhagen they should really get one of those Öresunds passes, where they get 48 hours of "free" travel between Sweden and Denmark and also inside those to countrys local busses/trains... jump over to Sweden...see some of Malmö and Lund and the next day take Helsingborg and Helsingör(Denmark) and then back to Copenhagen for like 249(25 euros). (Cph - Malmö is like 13-30 min deppening on where you jump on/off the train) Malmö- Lund is 15 min, Lund - Helsingborg is 30 min and Helsingborg - Helsingör is 20-30(with a boat) and back to cph takes 40 min or so... so not really that bad and you get a lot for your buck
You should for sure try romkugler! Not many none Danes like them but if you do they are really good! You should also try arme riddere, though you probably can't buy them in stores... It's white bread dipped in eggs and fried on a pan and afterwards you can come cinnamon sugar or marmalade/jam on them. Soooooo good!
I have. Both in Denmark and a friend brought me some 3 years ago. Americans hate the weak stuff we have here and the more potent Danish licorice, well, they acted like I fed them roofing tar. More for me.
If you are looking for good, danish pastries you should defiently visit The Old City in Århus (Aros)! Well, not only for the pastries but... I am proud to say that I have been working in the bakery that provided ther bakery shop(?) and even as being Danish many think that it is by far the best place to go for pastries and bread. Besides Århus (Aros) have alot to offer in terms of cultural and historic events and things to see!
1 Stegt flæsk med persille sovs - Pork strips with parsley sauce and new potatoes 2 Ribbensteg, brune kartofler - Rib Roast with brown potatoes(small potatoes made in a sugar caramel)
+Wolters World Next time you visit Denmark and want to have some smørebrød, then visit the restaurant called "Ida Davidsen" in Copenhagen. It is a smørebrøds restaurant that is very famous in Denmark and is properly the best place to get Smørebrød.
It's nice to see foreign people appreciate the things that I truly take for granted
Nemlig :D
+K.S. L. LOL dansker jaa
Det har du ret i!😂
every country has its specialty. when I went to London the fish and chips were 👌, when I went to asisi Italy the gelato was 👌 and I ate at a country side Italian restaurant with homemade pasta dough and sauce and local red wine and that was just oh my god I want to come back in a year or two. beautiful place too.
humudu i love denmark.
im down for a visit
food may be more expensive in Denmark, when you eat out.. however that's also why we don't need to tip our waiters, because they get payed well
I’m from Denmark and I never noticed how expensive it was..
You're right
I've recently decided to backpack across Europe with my husband when he graduates uni, and I'm SO happy I discovered these videos. Mark is so knowledgable and I've learned so much from these videos already. Subscribed and thank you!!
Did you ever backpack?
You should try "Flæskestegssandwich", which is slices of pork roast on a burgerbun with mayo, red cabbage and slices of pickled cucumber. So good.
So good! I highly reccomend!
Agreed!
Oh yes! This was always my dad's favorite. His family was Danish and he'd gone back there for a few years of university, and every time we go to DK, that is literally the first thing he orders.
Just saying... Get danish rye bread, liver paté and bacon. Heat the paté and fry the bacon. Put it all together.
Result? Heaven-on-a-slice-of-bread.
Cinderbloom that sounds dang good!
Cinderbloom It also tastes amazing with mushrooms heated on a pan. :D
Cinderbloom We have that over here in Denmark. Bacon liver paté.
You should get pickled beets or anything pickled in general, and put on top of it on the bread. Make sure there's not room for more on top when you add it. You want a slice of the pickled goodness with every bite. Trust me. It makes the whole experience so much better.
I'll choose to pass on that :P I'm a dane myself, had it aplenty. Nooot a fan of pickled stuff.
Cinderbloom Rødbeder?! Seriously!
Denmark is near the border where I reside in Hamburg and so is Netherlands.I have been several times to Denmark.I also like Long Island,Queens,Maine and Bronx in N.Y.. Which has history of various cuisines and so does Puerto Rico.I have also have had different types of foods in India. TONDER AND RIBE in Denmark are my favorite destinations.Copenhagen is hectic and Commercialized.
I'm from India and I watch your videos just to listen to you. I love hearing you. Humour and Honesty combined ! Just Amazing

Planis Echaristo Planis! Glad we can help :) hopefully we will be seeing you in Greece Summer of 2016 :)
You need to try "Stegt flæsk med persillesovs" Wont get any better or anymore danish ;)
FRIKADELLER!!!
+Lærke Pedersen true lærke....👍
Brun sovs😂
And don't forget to pair it with a sizeable beer from draft! Beer is important when eating traditional foods.
Pork chops with plain, white baked up sauce full of parsley + lots of potatoes of course :)
Cuisine is such a great way to learn about a country's culture, hope you do one for Italy and France!
(Coming from a Danish-American that is very proud of his Danish heritage,) You are saying Smorrebrod right! There is a Danish drinking song that my family sing. Its called "Hanskeliva"! Also when Danes drink, they say "Skol!" It's Danish for "Cheers!"
I'm from Denmark and i love the way you pronounce the food. Hahahah - your voice is so relaxing aswell
Emil Refsgaard det mega sjovt
The Smørrebrød pictures are heavily under the standards. thoose pictures are shame to the name. Smørrebrød looks fantastic.
Thought the exact same thing. Where did he get those photos?
peter nielsen Ja det er det
Yeah, the ones I got at Torvehallerne looked a lot better. Piled very high with the topping
Yeah, those looked like something I'd make myself :D
Also, there is a cake that Danes make and eat for weddings, birthdays and special occasions (mainly for weddings). Its called a Kransekake! It's translated into "circle cake" its almond based and is layered like an American wedding cake but is much thinner and wider. It consists of 12 layers.

Rød Grød MED Fløde (Red porridge with cream) IS a MUST. Also Stegt flæsk med persillesovs (Roast pork with parsley sauce) the national dish (I think)
I dont think our food is all that particular, there must be other countries eating that stuff too.
Im A dane and the second thing is so bad In my opinion. ( plz do NOT hate)
Roast pork with parsley sauce is our national dish and is in fact only common in Denmark. Ofc other people around the world may make it but it is very uncommon in other countries. It's like eating homemade chinese food in Denmark. It's uncommon.

Mark, thank you sooooo much for this video. I'm a foodie just like you. I appreciate all the food videos you post.
Yes, I am overweight but I am not obese. I believe our quality of life is enhanced so much by eating good foods and drinking good beer.
you should try romkugle
a.k.a. "trøffel" in Jutland
+Marhoru en trøffel er en romkugle uden romessens ;-)
+Marhoru ... Nope romkugle and trøffel is NOT the same... Not in Jylland either... Romkugle has rum og rumflavour added, whereas trøffel does not.... You should go for the trøffel... and also - buy it at the bakery - not in the super market!
+Joanna Nguyen I just looked that up -- on my list! Thanks.
HerLabyrinth you are welcome :)
Yeah we sure love remoulade here in Denmark 👍
Gråsten This is the way :D
looking forward to our trip this summer. thanks for the video
You Can also go to California because a dane Went there and build a town based On an old Danish town called solvang You Can get Danish StuffIt NOT normally found in The US
+videobro
Yeah but the town does not even look danish at all(Not even an old danish town).
+videobro Jaer but the things that you can buy isnt the same and as good as in DK
You need to come at christmas time and sample the christmas treats. You will love it.
Er jeg den eneste dansker der synes at rygbrød er normalt? 😂😂
Jeg er hel enig
jeg kan ikke lide rugbrød...
+Catrin Lisbjerg Elsker rugbrød og især smørrebrød det er himmelsk det vil jeg hellere have end pasta med kødsovs.
+Catrin Lisbjerg næ det er du ikke det er i sær rart lige efter jul. med noget flæskesteg på
+Catrin Lisbjerg Rugbrød er røvsygt....
you really should try a romkugle
+Morten Sehested you know I have gotten a few comments like this. What is romkugle?
its a danish thing that is like a round black ball made of bread krumms and all that stuff with some rom extract in it
+woltersworld A Romkugle in its traditional form is: All the cake (usually chocolate cake) from yesterday, which you can't sell anymore, smashed together with some rum extract and then you'll get a small ball of cake. Although, at this time a lot of bakers tend to bake cakes for the purpose of making a Romkugle (It can be translated into: Rum ball)
that's another way to translate it xD
+Wolters World it is a small cake i guess and they are shaped like balls
Oh, you should try homemade mead, like the ancient viking honey-beer-ish brew, it's super yummy, and drink it out of a big horn, that's how we roll! And btw thanks for some great vids!
Linda Christiansen sounds great!
Linda Christiansen its actually a wine, but otherwise correct :) Honey, Water, yeast. i mix it with rubar to get a great taste:D
That is on my bucket list.
You should make a point of trying "Æggekage" when you come to Denmark again, it translates as "eggcake" and it's a kind of scrambled Egg baked in a frying pan, served with smoked pork and garnished with chives and served with ryebread. There are local variations, and if you're in Jutland you should try eating lunch at "Hvidsten Kro" , they are famous for "Æggekage" with the recipe passed down at least 3 generations. That way you will get a good Danish dish and a dash of history added. I'm sure you'll enjoy it.
okay so i live in copenhagen and here is what to really eat, 1. if you want to get real good hotdogs go to nimb wich is right by tivoli, they make gourmet hotdogs and is definitely something you should try if you visit 2. if you can afford and can get a reservation, try to get in at noma 3. go to "torvehallerne" or "papirøen" aka copenhagen street food, wich both just are danish food mekkas where literally no matter what stand you go to, the food is great 4. try getting raw food, i know that it's not something you can only get in copenhagen but we're getting more and more raw bars and they're great, you should try either "raw 42", "palæo" or basically any raw bar at cph
Thank you so much for all of your great informational international videos!
Emiliano Sacco you are very welcome :) thank you for watching and subscribing!
In case someone hasn't mentioned it (Haven't read ALL the comments) is that remoulade is a picallily (finely chopped mixed pickled veggies, mostly cucumber and cabbage) mixed with mayonnaise. And yes, it's that tasty!
How are hot dogs at #1 and herring at #3? Who have you been talking to?
I'm proud of our kryddersild. That's the good stuff! I prefer it on rye bread, with pickled cucumber and onion rings.
Personally I hate the stuff XD
The thing that I loved in Denmark was their fries, (crisps of french fries, whatever), they make them at the train station in Copenhagen and it takes 15-20 minutes.
They take fresh raw potatoes and fry them, first on low heat and them on high heat for the perfect french fry. 💗
Awesome video. I have visited Denmark quite often and I love the danish hot dogs. You should make more videos about the food of all the countries that you've visited
bboydavid98 I am going to do that from now on. I was traveling with friends and they were like "you have to do food!" so I finally made one. I will film a bunch this summer so hopefully that can build up some hungry tummy viewers :)
Your videos are great! Thanks for sharing
Mate, next time you come visit us, go to Aarhus! Copenhagen is nice, but Aarhus is rather different. Not as tourist-minded. Also, you gotta try some Danish liquorice!
Rallerboy888 will do :)
woltersworld Should it ever happen, send me message, and I'll buy you a drink! I'm always happy to meet new people; particularly ones who aren't Danish.
When you come back, you should get brunkål (brown cabbage) it really really traditional ;) and tasts great :) oh and you should come back around Christmas, and try our Christmas food, everyone loves it ;)
And grisehaler (pig tales) with brunkålen.😋😋😍
You MUST try their Flaeskesteg! It is oven fried pork steak with a crispy rind. An ABSOLUTE delicacy!!!
Try an oldfashion bøfsandwich (beef is minced) and brown sauce on top.
Make sure that the beef, bread and sauce are homemade! At least the beef and sauce!
You can usually get them, where you buy the hotdog. This can’t be eaten without a knife and fork!
If you are on a restaurant, try flæskesteg (owenroasted pork) with everything.
Which include at least two kinds of potato, something sour like “asie” (a sort of pumpkin) or cucumber and rødkålsalat (salad with red cabbage).
Especially the sauce is great. Everything have to be homemade!
I just subbed!!! I love your channel!!! 😋☺️
Finally a danish food video thats true. Im from Denmark and this is verh real.
Pork belly with parsley sauce and potatoes, Danish meat balls with either potatoes and brown sauce or potatoe salat, Pork roast with crispy skin either as a sandwich or as a dish with potatoes and brown sauce. Just to name a few.
"Rooomelaud" hehe.. But yes, after the first time I had a Danish remoulade IN DK (I think I'd had it at my grandma's house growing up, but wasn't quite the same), I realized that I'd been attempting clumsily to concoct a similar condiment for years (in a way that disgusted friends and bystanders alike)... The recipes I got from Danish sites really elevated my sauce-mush. :) It is the single most satisfying addition to roast beef, hot dogs, fish dishes, and all sorts of things.
Try Cocio chokolate drink. Its so good!
When you get a Hotdog in Denmark, it is nearly a must to have a Cocio as supplement.
+OliverXRed yeah and i know that. Im A dane
DanTDMs Biggest Fan Ever Cocio er faktisk ret skidt med mindre du er vokset op med det. Kan ikke anbefales...
I disagree. I did not grow up with it, and I love it.
Jeg elsker det faktisk mere fordi jeg næsten aldrig får det.
You are my favorit travel guide. Really good work on your videos :)
You should try one of the most eaten dishes: Stegt flæsk med persille sovs (roasted pork with parsley sauce) often served ad libitum.Doesn´t sound at much but it is delicious!!!!!
Mark is 100% correct on the Danishes. I grew up in the USA eating American "Danish" pastries all my life. In 1997 I started working for a Danish company and started traveling there. Once I had a true "Danish" pastry in Denmark, it was game over for the American version. I never get them here in the States anymore. Never.
Best things are!
Remoulade!
Carlsberg, Tuborg and Royal (I usually tend to buy Royal).
Aalborg Akvavit :P
I lived in Aalborg for 6 years and that snaps is EVERYWHERE! Arriving at a party and there will be a person serving a snaps just when you enter through the door. And later he'll just walk around with his shot glass (or horn) and bottle and ask if you'd like another... and another etc.
Have u tried eating at flammen ?
+BBQ Von BBQ that just made me smile :)
BBQ Von BBQ Best place ever
Don't listen too these guys. Flammen is like Walmart or Tesco. All you can eat for 9.99,-
Yes, the new Jensen's Bøfhus. It's under average.
As a Dane, i must say that, the beer you should have is a Hancock Høker Bajer. Tuborg/Carlsberg, are the bland normal, sad beers we have in Denmark. But the Høker bajer, has gotten the "contrys best beer" award couple of years in a row, so for a normal pilsner, thats the beer to go too.
Yes, the Bakery is a must! That hotdog stand is usually on Nørrebtogade-Jagtvej intersection by the 7Eleven. Thursday and Friday nights 😍😍😍 opt for their hotdogs beats a kabab anytime 😆
I come from Denmark, and i would recommend that you try ''Sushi'' the next time you come. It teats so good, and the fish is really fresh.
Amazing.... I loved this video... Rightly.
Sheila Cardozo Thanks Sheila :)
Have you all tried the fried stuff? Bitterballen and the stuff from the vending machine small stalls in each city. They are open 24hrs.
Me being a pround Dane, I know that not many Danes use remolade on hot dogs. We mainly use it for fried cod
Although hotdogs are considered cheap fast food here, it is also one of the best tasting foods you can get here. You would need to go to a high-end restaurant to get better food. For the best hotdog in our capitol I would like to recommend the stand (pølsebod) at the back entrance to the central station near Istedgade. This is also one of the most unsafe places in our country, so be careful about pickpockets. But I personally feel safer here than in most other European capitols.
As for "snaps" (our national hard liqueur), remember that it is usually drunk when eating pickled herring on rye bread. And we have this saying that you will limp if you only have one shot of snaps, so you are supposed to have at least two or any even number, although that is not enforced if you do not want to. In my opinion it tastes horrible, which is probably the reason most high-end places serve it directly from he deep freezer.
Ryebread with leverpostej IS A MUST!!!! And Frikkadeller (a kind of meatballs) Also go outside of copenhagen, you would find a completly different country in Jutland
There is a lot of new not-so-great bakery in denmark at the time.. Seek out the old ones (mostly owned by natives) also called "Konditor" for the really good stuff ;) Thx for all the nice Words about our food!
I'm dying every time he's trying to say a Danish word! XD
Definitely try a "Bøfsandwich". Its basically a big burger, with all the extras and lots of onions, and brown sauce. Its a mess to eat, but it just soo good!
You should realy try Flødeboller next time you're visiting Denmark. You can buy them in almost every gro.
It's a really popular thing among kids and grown ups.
It's hard to explain what it is but it's a kind marshmallow covered of dark chocolate with a waffle in the bottom.
And it's so yummy
Thanks for saying those nice worlds about our country!
Hi Wolter 😊 You missed our national dish: Grilled pork belly with parsley sauce. You kan have in traditionel Danish restaurants.
You have to try is Brændende kærlighed, or Burning love, is an old danish dish with mashed potatoes, crisp bacon bits and soft fried onions. Brændende kærlighed is a danish comfort food, and a really cheap one.
Honestly please go eat the pastries at our bakeries for there's been a lot of talk about how our bakeries are closing down because of the bake-off thing in supermarkets and it's super freaking sad for bakeries are sooo much better! So please do and keep 'em alive!
sklayero Also i recommend ''Ale No. 16'' by ''Bryggeriet Vestfyen''. Very few restaurants has it but you can buy it in ''Fakta'' for 20kr (4$) for ½ liter (0,12 gallons) and it's super good. (As i wrote in another comment)
And no, i still don't work for them, i just personally think the classic Tuborg and Carlsberg beers are crap and of course i want the tourist to try the better beers. National pride is on stake here!? xD
I enjoyed these video's of Denmark that you made. If you can, you should try and come to Denmark near Christmas and have a traditional danish Christmas dinner. You won't regret it.
remoulade is blended sourkraut kimchi in mayonaise with a dash of curreblend spice! ridiciously tasty! try making it its easy!
I can't help myself. Though you might be back in the US now, I'll have to correct/enlighten you regarding the "beef tartar". It is in fact smoked salmon and it's delicious.
I take it from your comment that you steered clear from it thinking that it was raw beef, but if you are to return, please taste it :)
From all the smørrebrød it is the most aristocratic :D
Fabulous vlog! Love the foods of different countries! Such an interesting topic! Please do more vlogs like this! As a European traveler and Scandanavian, I adore Scandanavian food and could live on herring. lol. I think perhaps a secret of youth for us Scandanavians! BTW, on the hot dogs in Denmark, are they sweet or dill pickles? Must make them this week!!!!
ingrid A few fans had written asking about doing food videos so i thought i would try it. I am glad to hear it was good :) I am heading to Sweden, Norway and Iceland this summer. Any traditional Scandinavian treats i should have in those countries? (i know Iceland isn't really Scandinavia, but they are close-ish ;)
woltersworld My top 3 Swedish dishes that i recommend that you try while in sweden :)1: Fläsk med löksås-(onion suace) Fläsk-(like bacon but thicker)
2. Rödspätta-(fish) with potatos and Remouladsauce
3. Ärtsoppa (peasoup) and this delicious soup should be enjoyed on a thursday it´s a tradition to do so :)
You lucky Walter! All my relatives live there all over Sweden!!!! Yes, Swedish meatballs, and with the pea soup, don't forget the dollop of mustard on it. Also the beer there comes om Class 1, 2, 3, 4, one being the least alcoholic and 4 the strongest, interesting! Also you may find it very odd they eat fish for breakfast, a salmon pate which comes in a tube like toothpaste is yummy on knackbrod! Good Luck~
And actually, when we danes go to Sweden, the first thing we are gonna eat is also a hotdog, because they put some other stuff on it, so for us, it's a must try. Regards from Denmark
we also have gr8 bacon
I need to go back :)
+xx_MLG CORD_xx yes denmark makes the best bacon but we sale nearly all of it and leave the crappy bacon to our self. of cause you can pay a bit more to get the luxus bacon we did not sale but that is your choice.
+woltersworld Trying going to Ribe next time :D Beautiful city :)
+woltersworld we have the Best bacon In the World
Our best bacon goes to England
You should come to Denmark again, and I will show you the best things in Jylland(Jutland)!
I live in a small town in the United States. It’s very Danish. So much, in fact, that we have a functional Danish windmill that was brought from Denmark piece-by-piece. But do you know what the biggest tragedy is? While we have medisterpølse everywhere, we don’t have rød pølse.
Hi there fan and newbie vlogger here
I love their chili hotdogs with coke zero
Hope to see more videos of you
More power to yoiur channel
Awesome video - you asked about what the remoulade is in the hot dogs. It is basicly a mix of mayonaise and pickled cucumbers or cornicons :-)
If you want more than just a lager beer, then try "Amager Bryghus". Their "Tulsa Twister" IPA, seven sins beers and in general most of their beer is really great. There is also Hancock's "Gambrinus beer". In fact, there are a lot of beers! Oh boy.
Ventasmentos best most helpful comment ever :) thanks! will try them on my next visit
what about rugbrød?
Go to Jutland. Bigger and better portions to half the price...
But the people ...
@@t3nder-4pe Are awesome
typisk dum jyde kommentar
Hey our national dish is "stegt flæsk med persillesovs" it is common to get it with all you can eat ;) Also everybody should try danish christmass food. It is really good imo.
The sweet yellow thing on the top of the hot dog is ramolade
I am from Denmark.
Good video!
If they come to Copenhagen they should really get one of those Öresunds passes, where they get 48 hours of "free" travel between Sweden and Denmark and also inside those to countrys local busses/trains... jump over to Sweden...see some of Malmö and Lund and the next day take Helsingborg and Helsingör(Denmark) and then back to Copenhagen for like 249(25 euros). (Cph - Malmö is like 13-30 min deppening on where you jump on/off the train) Malmö- Lund is 15 min, Lund - Helsingborg is 30 min and Helsingborg - Helsingör is 20-30(with a boat) and back to cph takes 40 min or so... so not really that bad and you get a lot for your buck
You should for sure try romkugler! Not many none Danes like them but if you do they are really good! You should also try arme riddere, though you probably can't buy them in stores... It's white bread dipped in eggs and fried on a pan and afterwards you can come cinnamon sugar or marmalade/jam on them. Soooooo good!
L KK Arme riddere = french toast in the rest of the world
We Danes tend to love our licorice - and it's much stronger than the US licorice. Try some! :D
I have. Both in Denmark and a friend brought me some 3 years ago. Americans hate the weak stuff we have here and the more potent Danish licorice, well, they acted like I fed them roofing tar. More for me.
If you are looking for good, danish pastries you should defiently visit The Old City in Århus (Aros)! Well, not only for the pastries but...
I am proud to say that I have been working in the bakery that provided ther bakery shop(?) and even as being Danish many think that it is by far the best place to go for pastries and bread.
Besides Århus (Aros) have alot to offer in terms of cultural and historic events and things to see!
Sej video mand (Nice video man)!;)
If you go to Denmark again try to visit Odense or Ålborg mini Copenhagens
I am already feeling hungry 😘😘😘
the french dog dressing is a mix of mayo and mustard with spices :D
1 Stegt flæsk med persille sovs - Pork strips with parsley sauce and new potatoes
2 Ribbensteg, brune kartofler - Rib Roast with brown potatoes(small potatoes made in a sugar caramel)
Im danish, and I highly recommend the christmas food, especially a steak sort of, named flæskesteg.
Yummy!!
+Wolters World Next time you visit Denmark and want to have some smørebrød, then visit the restaurant called "Ida Davidsen" in Copenhagen. It is a smørebrøds restaurant that is very famous in Denmark and is properly the best place to get Smørebrød.
try the cake: romkugle! its sooo good!
Brunsviger is also sooo good
Try frikadeller!!! (: - danish meat balls! - very tasty!
