Yesterday, Bob and I traveled into Copenhagen to do some gift shopping and finally try some traditional Danish food at a restaurant recommended by friends from Scotland. The restaurant is a popular spot, so we had booked the first available table a couple weeks ago. We have had a nice spell of sun, but yesterday was pretty rainy for most of the day. We lucked out on our walk to the train station, but the skies let loose again once we got to Copenhagen.

In reading about Denmark prior to our visit all of the travel books noted the famous open-faced sandwiches on rye or hearty bread (Smørrebrød), so we thought we would be stumbling over them while here. We have seen some but not many, and we’ve decided that it’s due to the fact that, as you’ll see below, they do not lend themselves to a take away meal. Not that we eat take away meals very often, but that is usually what is seen on display when out and about. The other item that we had read about was aquavit or schnapps. We had not tried that yet either.

would likely be sufficient. This is Bob’s pickled herring sandwich. The white “sauce” is crème freche.
We learned a bit about aquavit versus schnapps from our waiter. Aquavit is made from either caraway seeds or dill. Schnapps is made from anything else. We had a sample of a caraway based aquavit, and I also tried a small pour of the dill based, as I love dill. I liked both but preferred the dill one.
