We are going to tell you a little about Danish food. In Demark we usually have three main meals each day. For breakfast we usually have cereals like Cornflakes, oatmeal or yogurt served with either muesli, dried or fresh fruits. Some people have toasted bread with some sort of spread. A Danish breakfast specialty could be Danish pastry, which is mostly eaten on Sunday mornings with bread rolls.
For lunch we have the option of buying food in our school canteen. They have sandwiches, salads and “today’s special,” which could be lasagne, soup, pizza etc. However, a lot of us bring our own packed lunches, which could be a salad or bread, Danish rye bread is very common, and is eaten with different spreads, such as sausages, eggs or our Danish liver pate.
For dinner we usually have a warm dish. In Denmark we are very inspired by other countries. For instance we like pizza, lasagne, tortilla and Spaghetti Bolognese. But we also have our own traditional dishes. This could be our Danish “meatballs” (in Danish “frikadeller”) made on oats, minced beef, eggs, onions and spices. They are for instance served with potatoes and a gravy or sauce. Another common dish is Danish pork roast with potatoes, gravy and boiled vegetables.
In-between these meals most people have a snack such as an apple, a chocolate bar, etc.
