  • I also noticed 'rosenkal' for brussel sprouts.

    Does the 'rosen-' bit imply your Danish sprouts are typically red?

    Rose is because of the shape, I think.

  • Thanks for the prompt replies.
    'Den Originale Remoulade': is this a bit mustardy, or some other flavour?

    Thanks again for the rose/red explanation.
    I asked, as in the last couple of Xmasses, red sprouts have been (routinely) available,
    albeit at a price premium, through Southern English supermarkets, sometimes still on the stalk.

  • As a Frenchman in Denmark I am dismissive of the local mayonnaise (without mustard in it it's not mayo) however I have fully embraced rémouleuh with chips.

    I'm not sure anyone makes their own cherry sauce. CSB but I used Fabbri amarena sauce for the Christmas rice pudding once and the in-laws loved it.

  • Fabbri amarena sauce

    Well, I had never heard of that before.

    I have a tin of black cherries in a light syrup to form the base of a homemade cherrysauce.

  • I meant the classic cherries in a jar, the local stuff isn't too different, the syrup is the sauce I guess.

  • Remoulade is basically mayonnaise with chopped pickles in it. Maybe pickled celery? I wouldn’t know that.
    You eat it with fish mostly.
    Rosenkål is so named from the sprouts resemblance of rose buds, i think.
    I don’t know a recipie for kirsebærsovs (/-sauce), we use a mixture of amarena cherries.

  • Rosenkål is so named from the sprouts resemblance of rose buds, i think.

    Same word in German--Rosenkohl.

  • A pal in Copenhagen has just launched a product that turns your regular pushbike into an e-cargo bike. they've got a crowdfunder here – check it out!

  • recommendations for restaurants for a weekend trip? probably not super find dining michelin *** but any forum faves?

    thanks

  • thank you - that wasn't on my radar at all but looks great :-) appreciate it

  • Cheers.
    I don't get out much, but that place is definitely worth a reccomendation. Be sure to reserve a table if you decide to go.

  • Also. This is run by the spouse of my colleague: https://www.vinello30.dk/
    I haven't been there, but I've been to his other place in Hellerup which was amazing.

  • my wife wanted to book the coco hotel too; turns out we get a discount on the bill at host if we do :-)

  • wow that looks great too :-) thanks. shame this (and many other restaurants) are not open on sun

  • Heading over this weekend. What are some nice public spaces, cycling infrastructure, architecture kind of things to check out?

  • Imo the Rundetaarn is a must.

    I also had a great time riding over the bridges, and going into the river swimming pools by Knipplesbro (don't know the area, but on the river side there).

  • Rundetaarn was great, thank you for the rec! Also went swimming at Islands Brygge. Wasn't a fan of all the jellyfish, but it was still a nice dip.

  • Am here for the track wc, but well impressed by the city. Loveliness all around and little tourists (compared to my hometown). Unfortunately didn't go to the epic win wtf power plant where people can climb on and ski off. Next time will check it out for sure.
