Select New cuisine alert: Denmark

Hey everyone!

Denmark just landed on the site.

Most people arrive thinking they know what’s there: Noma, New Nordic, maybe a pastry. It turns out the daily reality is something else entirely. A country that ranks first in the world for organic food spending eats rye bread for lunch, pork for dinner, and considers liver pâté a perfectly good Tuesday.

You’ll find out why the open-faced sandwich has an unwritten protocol nobody taught you, why Denmark has more pigs than people, why a pastry called Viennese bread became Denmark’s most exported food, and why there’s a cheese that Danes joke will contaminate an entire refrigerator.

Also: beer porridge for breakfast. That’s in there too.

Go explore the section.

Happy eating,

Ieva
