The Danish Lunch: More Than Just a Quick Bite
Lunch in Denmark, often called frokost, is typically a more substantial meal than in some other countries. While a quick sandwich might be an option, it's common to enjoy a more varied spread, often featuring the iconic smørrebrød. This open-faced sandwich is made with a slice of rye bread topped with a variety of savory ingredients.
Popular toppings for smørrebrød include different types of herring (pickled in various ways), cold cuts like roast beef or ham, various cheeses, and egg salad. These toppings are often garnished with fresh herbs, pickled vegetables, or crispy fried onions. The presentation of smørrebrød is also important, making it visually appealing as well as tasty.
Beyond smørrebrød, a Danish lunch might also include a warm dish, such as frikadeller (Danish meatballs) or a hearty soup, especially during the colder months. Salad bars are also becoming increasingly common, offering a lighter option. Lunch is often a time to socialize, whether at work with colleagues or at home with family. It's a moment to pause and enjoy good food and company.
