Another reason to study abroad in Denmark is to experience the country’s unique food culture. For breakfast, Danish folk will often have a dish called “junket crumble” or “ymerdrys.” It consists of crumbled rye bread mixed with brown sugar. Another morning dish you can experience as a study abroad student is “wienerbred,” a Danish pastry filled with custard. Breakfast is usually the celebration time in Denmark, whereas dinner is the common American celebratory mealtime. The average lunch consists of cold meats such as roast beef, fish, and sausage on rye bread with toppings. Dinnertime, or “middag,” is usually eaten at home with the entire family. It used to contain multiple courses, but since the 60’s it has become simplified to one. The traditional gruel, meat broth, or sweet fruit soup is still served today. American and Italian influences can be seen in Denmark with pastas, barbecues, and salad bars. However, the traditional cuisines outshine any foreign foods served here. As a student, getting to experience these traditional dishes with locals is part of the immersion process. Perhaps you could try your hand at preparing some and invite a few classmates over. It would show them you are truly interested in their culture and perhaps gain you brownie points among the Danish.
