  • In our first smørrebrød video we stopped by Torvehallern and picked up the luxury tourist versions. This time we visit our local butcher to get a more authentic experience.
    Slagter Jesper - slagterjesper.dk/ - g.page/slagter... - in Farum was kind enough to welcome us into his shop and his home as we tasted a variety of different kinds from fish to leverpostej to brisket. Join us as we get educated on the most common Danish Smørrebrød. As always, we try it all!
    We also drink some wonderful akvavit from Elg -Spirits - www.elgspirits....

    You are missing one aspect of the danish lunch tradition, specially around christmas during christmas lunch. and that is the length of the lunch, which can go on for several hours, where first you have fish, second warm "smørrebrød" and finally the cheese. My cousins husband from Ohio was warned about this the first time he came for a danish christmas lunch but did not beleive it until he tried it him self :-)

Typical norwegian is smoked salmon and scrambled eggs together. And shrimps with lemon and mayo. Roastbeef, too and karbonadesmørbrød ( almost like burgers og beef meat.) Like frikadeller almost.

    Funny thing that Josh spoke of the deviled eggs and taking out the yoke and put it back in. In Sønderjylland we have our own way of doing that. It is called "Solæg" and is more of a pickled egg. Every "Sønderjyde" has a recipe and call it "the right one". You should try it - maybe on tuesday?
    My recipe goes like this:
    -Boil 10 eggs for 20 minutes with the brown paper-like outer peels of an onion and shock them in cold water afterwards.
    -Once they have cooled off, gently crack the shells and put them into a pickle-jar - save the water you boiled them in.
    -Add 4 big tablespoons of salt to the jar, and the cooled off water (and onion peels) from the boiling. The onion color from the water will make a beautiful marble pattern on the eggs, where you made the cracks. Make sure that the eggs are completely under water.
    -Keep them in the closed pickle-jar for about 3-4 days.
    -After 3-4 days, you peel the egg (obviously), slice it into two halves - don't worry, the yoke is supposed to look like that!
    -Gently remove the yoke and fill the egg with spicy danish mustard, a few drops of oil (I use sunseed), a few drops of red wine-vinegar and a few drops of tabasco.
    -Put the yoke back on top of it with the round side facing upwards. Then you eat it in ONE bite.
    The eggs are good for 2-4 weeks, but gets saltier by time. It goes GREAT with beer and snaps, and is a delicacy you find in a lot of bars in Sønderjylland! Go for it, and let's hear what you think!

Jesper's shop is definitely one of things I miss the most after moving to Jylland.

    That's what smørrebrød should look like! Not the fancy ones you had in the other vid (they do have a place in our traditional food palette, but it's not true smørrebrød, which Jesper also mentions). The good thing about the different recipes is, that they're generally the same all across Denmark. You can visit a butcher in Tønder and get the same dish served as Jesper did for you in Farum. The only true difference is the care with which the maker has created his/her smørrebrød. Looks like to me, what Jesper has made for you guys is top shelf quality smørrebrød, with nothing but fresh ingredients, either home made or fresh of the shelf the same day from another shop.

    Smørrebrød as a tradition, started during ww1 when food was scarse, So people tried to dress whatever they had, up a bit. "you allso eat with the eyes". The first pieces of smørrebrød whas typically just a piece of ryebread with pigs fat or butter, and boiled potato slices. Another cheap favorite was tomato and eg, dressed with chives and maybe mayo. It all started from there, "højt belagt" came when the god times returned in the 20's. It's the Danish sushi, you can't make it wrong, don't let anybody tell you otherwise.

    Smorrebrod is a tradition that dates back to the urbanisation where the different regions stil had "signature dishes", and they brought these dishes to the city where they became a stable of the streetparties that was held every weekend. It was a come-together thing, a collective/community lunch more than a party as we know it today, tho people ate and drank and everybody in the street knew eachother. The way the "signature dishes" was served was on a piece of ryebread, and it became smorrebrod as we know it today. - the streetparties havnt really been a thing for like 50 years now, but there are a few streets that still tries to uphold the tradition. And we still eat the regional signature dishes served on bread, most do it without knowing why the combos is as they are - and the "rules" about what you can serve as smorrebrod is no longer existant. If its a good combination then it works, doesnt have to be a regional signature dish

    You can also do leverpostej with just some pickled red beets on top(on bread).
    Quite popular if you want to keep it really simple.

    The devils eggs is also a danish tradition at easter. We make them with hot mustard though. I guess it depends where you are in denmark. But it is all silly, Rullepølse has italian salad on it, which is not italian at all etc..Smørrebrød is high layered rybread dishes..

    Hi
    I think when you think of Danish food, you have to think of history and traditions. I am sure that the food we eat can be traced back many hundreds of years.
    The United States is a melting pot of food, Chinese, British, Italian, German, etc.
    Danish food has not undergone this melting pot so much.
    So much of the Danish food you see is based on durability and availability in the old days.
    Foods that can last a long time are e.g. marinated herring, spegepølse (salami), cheese and smoked and salty foods.

    Great video! I've lived here along time and I learnt a few things here. Thanks for that!
    My problem (one of many) is I don't like rye bread. I've tried all sorts and keep trying, but I've never found any I enjoy. Danes think I'm crazy for not liking it, although I've now met 2 Danes who don't like it either. Then I go and eat all their great traditional toppings on white bread, as that's all I'm left with if I don't bring my own bread. But I'm a simple man, good fish or meat on bread and I'm happy.
    I love the traditions surrounding smørrebrød, especially Christmas Lunch with all the drinking included making it extra special.
    Thanks again for a great video.

    Always have to love your local butchers, especially with so much mass produced stuff these days. The local is rarely that much more expensive than supermarket and he/she knows the product you buy. Not all of them do everything they sell, but they stand by the quality.
    If you do want to follow up on this one, next would be home-style open sandwiches (where you do a little extra but don't necessarily have the time or variety of ingredients to go full smørrebrød), I'm thinking of for instance, rugbrød, butter, rullepølse, onions and sky... or perhaps salami, remoulade and crispy fried onions.. or roastbeef, remoulade, horse raddish and crispy fried onions...
    After that, the madpakke stuff; rugbrød + butter (of course), then the very basic stuff, leverpostej with fresh cucumber as Jesper also mentioned, perhaps also one with makrelsalat. A regular æggemad w/ salt and perhaps karse, without all the fancy. In general rugbrød made in a way to not be too messy to have in a lunchbox for 4-6 hours before eating (I believe many grown danes have nightmares about luke warm, perhaps smelly, lunchboxes). Which is also why I think we, in general, do a little extra when making rugbrød at home.

    The tradition with having fish before meat goes back to Christ and the last supper where they had fish before lamb. It was the church that introduced this as the proper order for eating different disches so you will find this concept all over Europe and in most christian countries. The smørrebrød you had from Torvehallerne is what we call "højt belagt" smørrebrød meaning "højt" = high "belagt" meaning "with many layers (of different things) on". The daily or ordinary ones yoy had from Slagter Jesper we often just calls "håndmadder" meaning "hånd" = hand and "mad" = food. Most local danish butchers make smørrebrød/håndmadder around lunchtime and they are popular amongst "håndværkere" (craftsmen) from "hånd" = hand" and "værk" = work and people we no acces to food or chitchen because the work in peoples homes or on building sites and so on ...

    Here is a little bit about the origin of the name "dyrlægens natmad / the veterinary's night snack": In the old days when circuses had many animals, the veterinaries from the Royal Veterinary and Agricultural Academy (today the Faculty of Life Sciences but still located in Frederiksberg) used to go to the circus building of Copenhagen near Rådhuspladsen (it still exists) to check up on the health of the circus animals. On their way back to Frederiksberg late in the evening, they would stop halfway, at Oskar Davidsen's smørrebrød restaurant in Søpavillonen (the building still exists at Peblinge Sø although the restaurant has moved to Store Kongensgade) to get a night snack after a long day's work; and he invented this kind of smørrebrød for them.

    hi there, here is an idea for a future video:
    seeing that you havent tried alot of the danish national dishes, and obviesly have no idea how to cook it (cause that is the interresting/hard part) maybe see if you could do a collaboration with Jesper (the butcher) where he shows/teaches you how to do it right?
    i think that would be eyeopening to you guys + you will not be experiencing the danish dishes where the meat is dry or stuff is overcooked and so on.
    because danish food can be really bad if not done right.
