Cuisine of the Danes

This post is all about the food. The glorious and abundant food. It was hands down the best part of the trip.

My first taste of Denmark came in a bottle. Cocio chocolate milk is unlike anything in the states.

Candy everywhere! I should be ashamed to admit my love for candy...but I'll divulge my secret. I was in HEAVEN! Chocolates, licorices, caramels, taffies...all handmade.

Typical fast food was either a fried chicken platter or kabob shwarmas, similar to a lamb pita pocket.

Outdoor fresh fruit markets. So quaint.

Breakfast each morning of musli granola with yogurt.

Danish pizza and kabob shwarma

Okay, this was hilarious. These are their hot dogs, called poelser. More like a giant pig in a blanket.

This isn't food, but it's a shopping cart/basket. So ingenious.

Tea and boller

Hard Rock Cafe in Copenhagen

This was Michael Jackson's guitarists guitar

Eating European style was difficult for me. I'm not so ambidextrous.

Now the best part.....pastries.

Try not to salivate.

This was half of a chokolade trekant, or chocolate triangle, pastry. Man, was this good.

Chocotaetre uden mel (flourless chocolate tart)

Mocha eclair. Too pretty to eat.

My childhood memories come flooding back with the name of this next pastry...

Othello lagkage

Kartoffelkage translate to potato cakes. But don't let the name fool you. After one bite I was sure my life's mission was complete and I could die a happy woman.

Think giant cream puff with the most perfectly flaky pastry, dipped in chocolate, wrapped in fondant, and rolled in cocoa.

Romkugle or rum cakes

I'll take one of each.
