10 AMAZING DANISH CHRISTMAS FOODS YOU HAVE TO TRY ...

From adventurousmiriam.com
  • Julefrokost (Christmas lunch) If you’re in Denmark in December, you’re bound to hear the word julefrokost (Christmas lunch/party). This Danish tradition typically involves plenty of food and alcohol, and it’s held on weekends.
  • Risengrød (Rice pudding) A less alcoholic dish during December, is risengrød; or rice pudding. It’s served with butter, sugar and cinnamon for dinner during December.
  • Christmas goodies. And now to the extra calorie filled food – the goodies. Danish Christmas cookies are made and eaten throughout December, including various types of ginger bread biscuits, vanilla cookies, brown cookies, marzipan and oatmeal balls with pearl sugar.
  • Fåsselår – my personal favourite. This dish is specific for my family. I have never heard of anyone making this other than my relatives from North Jutland.
  • Homemade rolled sausage. Another family tradition is the rolled sausage. This is actually eaten all year around, but we only make it ourselves at Christmas time.
  • Gløgg & æbleskriver (mulled wine and apple slices) From the very salty and spicy meat to a sweet dish called: æbleskiver (apple slices) and gløgg (mulled wine).
  • The healthy snacks. For some of us, all that Christmas food leaves us panicking about weight gain, so the healthier alternative is dried figs and dates, walnuts and hazels..
  • Klejner. Klejner are a Nordic type of fried pastry made of sugar, egg yolks, margarine and flour. They’re rolled out and cut into strips, deep fried in oil and sometimes sprinkled with sugar.
  • Risalamande (cold rice pudding) Ah, the risalamande. This dish is by far one of the biggest highlights for me, and it would not be Christmas without it.
  • Christmas duck. Roast duck. The creme de la creme. This is what I’m looking forward to all of December, and mum’s cooking always cease to amaze! Some Danes eat flæskesteg (pork roast) at Christmas Eve, but we always get duck with caramelized potatoes and gravy.
