Smorrebrod

It's traditional Danish food...an open-faced sandwich that can range from very simple fare to much more sophisticated food creations. Yea...smorrebrod.

Taking a cue from Texas friends who always sample local food stuffs while travelling, we had to partake of the local cuisine. Yea...a smorrebrod. Usually, it's a slice of bread (i.e. rye) topped with either roast beef, tiny shrimps, roast pork, chicken, fish, or even veggies, and always topped off by some garnish. Although smorrebrod is usually served in cafes or restaurants at lunch, you can pretty much find it wherever, whenever.

Smorrebrod meal #1: Budman had tomato and mozzarella cheese brod; Hachie Gal had a chicken salad concoction.

Smorrebrod meal #2: We both had a a shrimp and asparagus combo with a nice dill sauce.

And yes, before we totally went "smorrebrod crazy", we actually did have a hot dog from a street vendor...twice.... Believe it or not, Copenghagen is known for hot dogs and there are several variations to choose from.
