The Danish cuisine still contains elements harking back to the time before industrialization, i.e. the time before c. 1860, the age of storage housekeeping with a cuisine based on beer and rye bread, and salted and smoked pork. Among the dishes from those days which are still eaten today are øllebrød (a dish made of rye bread, sugar and non-alcoholic beer), vandgrød (porridge, usually barley porridge, made with water), gule ærter (split pea soup), æbleflæsk (slices of pork with apples fried in the fat), klipfisk (dried cod), blodpølse (black pudding), finker (an approximation to haggis), and grønlangkål (thickened stewed kale).

In the second half of the 19th century, i.e. the age of the cooperative movement, milk and potatoes played a prominent part, and the stove, the mincer and the developing retail trade provided new possibilities for dishes such as roast pork and gravy, boiled cod with mustard sauce, consommé with meat, bread or flour dumplings, rissoles, minced beef patties and other dishes based on minced meat. The same period saw the emergence of many fruit dishes such as rødgrød (thickened stewed fruit), sødsuppe (fruit soup) and stewed fruits, and the range of vegetable dishes was expanded with boiled cabbage in white sauce, red cabbage, pickled beetroot, cucumber salad, and peas and carrots in white sauce.

Great changes and increased choices appeared in the Danish cuisine in the 1960s as a result of increased affluence, internationalization, the advent of self-service in the retail trade, the use of electricity in the kitchen, refrigerators and freezers, and also of the increasing number of women going out to work. American influence is obvious with such dishes as salads, pasta, baked potatoes, barbecue, turkey, and ready-to-eat chicken dishes. Italian cuisine has also established itself with for instance pizzas and a widespread use of tomatoes. Meat consumption has risen dramatically, still with pork as the most common kind of meat. The tendency is towards steaks and to minced meat. Gravy and potato dishes still maintain their place, so that sausages and rissoles are the dishes most frequently seen on Danish dinner tables.

Provision of Raw Materials
Thanks to industrial methods, produce and dishes that were once the preserves of the upper classes have become commonplace. This applies for instance to mushrooms, chicken, caviar (in Denmark usually synonymous with lumpfish roe), smoked salmon, and duck as well as mayonnaise and other cold sauces. Imports and new technology have evened out seasonal differences, so that most foodstuffs are on offer all the year round. At the same time exotic foods such as eggplant, avocado, fresh pineapple, baby maize, Barbary duck breast, courgettes, Chinese prawns, kiwi fruit and peppers have become everyday sights on the Danish table. In the 1980s, meanwhile, a reaction set in against industrialization, the leveling off of seasonal dishes and the influence of the foreign fast food concept: chefs like Erwin Lauterbach and Jan Hurtigkarl have created an original Danish cuisine based on the vegetables and fish that thrive best beneath Danish skies.

Eating Patterns
The pattern of meal times has changed from the five meals a day of pre-industrialized society to the three that are common now. Most people have their midday meal away from home in the form of a packed lunch or a canteen meal. Hot food is eaten in the evening, and most people only have a single course on weekdays. First courses consisting of gruel, fruit soup or porridge are nowadays only eaten by older people. The individualization of meals, such as is known in the USA, has only caught on in Denmark with respect to breakfast; at the evening meal families make an effort to arrange for a family meal prepared at home. Ready-to-eat dishes are mainly used by single people.

Open-faced Sandwiches – Smørrebrød
Danish open-faced sandwiches are usually made with dark rye bread. The bread should be whole grain and as firm as possible. White bread can be used, and may be toasted.

The butter should be fresh, not too hard, and should be spread on the bread in an even layer right out to the edges. Slices of rye bread should be halved before the sandwich food is placed on them. You should have ready all the food you are going to use. The types of sandwich which do not dry so quickly should be done first. Little bits of decoration should be left until last.

A practical tip is to place green, completely dry lettuce leaves under salads, but don’t put lettuce leaves on all kinds of smørrebrød. Vary the kind of greenery with cress, dill, parsley, cucumber, chives, or finely sliced rings of green and red pepper.

Practically all kinds of leftovers can be used on a sandwich: cold ham with a fried egg, cold roast pork with beets or red cabbage, roast beef with tartar sauce and fried onions, meatloaf with cucumber salad, cold sausages with scrambled eggs. In short, the combinations are endless and with a little imagination it is very easy to make smørrebrød.

But please do remember – they are called open-faced sandwiches because they really are open, so please don’t spoil your beautiful creation by putting a piece of bread on top.
