Speaking of Denmark, most people think of ice and snow, and then have romantic imaginations.

In fact, Denmark has the Atlantic Ocean on the left and the Baltic Sea on the right. The ocean climate is quite obvious. Compared with Russia at the same latitude, the climate is very different.

The highest temperature in summer does not exceed 25 degrees, and the average temperature in winter is above 0 degrees.

Summer in Denmark is the golden season of the year. Green grass, sunshine, yellow flowers everywhere and tulips are simply picturesque.

Winter is more uncomfortable. The weather is mainly cloudy, with continuous drizzle, and not much snow. It basically gets dark after 4 pm; but in summer, you can still read the newspaper outdoors at 11 pm and the sky will be dark at 3 am.

It’s already bright and it’s definitely a good season for traveling.

Many people are curious about their food.

In fact, the traditional Danish diet is to eat fresh fish alive, which is mainly rough and delicious.

Beer and music are indispensable things in their lives.

Bars are a place for relaxation and entertainment for Danes, but there is no karaoke here.

Visiting here is not the main way for them to connect emotionally. Unexpected visits are not polite.

If friends want to chat or get together, they usually choose a bar instead of home.

There are various bars here, including disco bars suitable for young people and clear bars for middle-aged people.

Most of the week is prime time at the bar.

The Danish party principle is to get yourself drunk, which may be the unique Nordic bar culture.

In terms of diet, Denmark is like most Western countries. Unlike the Chinese who are very particular about their diet, the Danes are also very particular about their food.

Danish food is all about freshness.

The raw materials of Danish cooking are mainly fish and shellfish, as well as meat, dairy products, vegetables, fruits, etc. Although it is simple, it wins with freshness.

Danes pay attention to the layout of the dining table and the dining environment. Swaying candlelight, beautiful flowers and exquisite tableware are often indispensable during meals.

Danes are also very creative when it comes to food. The open sandwich is an invention of the Danes, which makes them quite proud.

As we all know, open sandwiches are sandwiches with ham, vegetables, eggs, etc. between two pieces of bread.

Well, an open sandwich, as the name suggests, is just a piece of bread with a variety of foods on it.

The most basic ingredients of an open sandwich are bread and butter.

Danish bread is characterized by softness and crispy crust.

Danish butter is world-famous. It is characterized by less salt and a lighter taste. Danes like to spread a thick layer of butter on bread. When you take a bite of the buttered bread, the tooth marks on it are clearly visible, so it is nicknamed "teeth".

butter?.

In addition to spreading butter, you can also directly use oil-soaked bread. This kind of bread is added with lard, duck fat or goose fat with special seasoning flavor, which is very popular among Danes.

The open sandwich is far from rich, but it is nutritious and appetizing, and is as indispensable to the Danes as salt.

Danish people can't live without it at noon almost every day. Office workers make homemade sandwiches at home, wrap them neatly in tin foil, and take them to the office to eat.

Elementary school students also use small lunch boxes to carry sandwiches to school. The ancestors of the Danes made a living by hunting in the forest and fishing in the ocean. Each such wild journey lasted from 1 week to more than 10 days.

Therefore, in order to save time (no need to light a fire for cooking), easy to carry and preserve for a long time, Danes often prepare some pre-pickled and smoked food.

Today's open-faced sandwiches have become diversified in choice, including cured salmon (salmon) with roe, smoked beef rolls, frozen pork knuckles, egg yolks with salad sauce, etc., all of which are the most common Danish snacks.

Danes mostly pair beer with their meals, and wine has never been very popular.

In fact, in addition to open sandwiches, Danes also have a special preference for eating fish.

One way to eat it is to eat it with fresh fish meat cubes, mixed with sour vinegar and chopped dried onions (Shallot), which is a bit like the Japanese way of eating raw fish.

The live fish allows the sour vinegar to reduce the fishy smell, while the chopped dried onions bring out a refreshing and crisp taste.

Compared with the softness of fish meat, it has a strange and natural taste.

Danes usually eat open sandwiches with beer and ice-cold liquor. This is an authentic Danish habit.

A Danish writer once said: Scandinavians are considered to be a naturally calm and calm people.

But as we tuck into open-faced sandwiches, it's easy to see that we're also excitable and imaginative.
