Why the Danes are so obsessed with Smørrebrød 

Correction: The roast beef smorrebrod was served with spicy mayonnaise (remoulade) and horseradish.

It breaks my heart to see this. it’s not mayonnaise and grated cheese, it’s Danish remoulade and grated horseradish and it’s one of the greatest classic of smørrebrød…

The “shooting star” version was invented to honour kosmonaut Yuri Gagarin when the first man in space visited Copenhagen some time in the early sixties.

Hmm... I can make my usual sandwich without the second slice of bread. This is eye-opening, and mouth watering. (:

Whew! The sandwiches, or open-face meals, look lovely. I’m not a huge fan of rye bread. But they do look lovely. Oh, and I assumed the mayo was not just a generic bland dressing over that delightful treat. No worries or complaints from this non-Dane viewer.❤🇩🇰

I wish all these videos showing Danish smørrebrød would show the day-to-day, plain version in addition to the fancy version (which we call "højt belagt" = "high coated"). The plain version consist of just 3-5 components: 1. Rye bread (or white bread if you are a barbarian) 2. Ready-spread "butter" (or real butter if you feel fancy) 3. A main ingredient like a piece of cold-cut meat, liver paté, mackerel in tomato sauce, slices of a boiled potato / hardboiled egg / tomato / cucumber. Or you use various mixes like - "Russian salad" = chopped redbeet mixed with mayonnaise - "Æg salad" = chopped egg mixed with mayonnaise, salt, and some curry powder 4. Garnish, usually just 1-2 types, like remoulade or more mayonnaise, roasted onion (good with the sliced potatoes and tomatoes, but not mackerel), a sprinkle of herbs (chives, garden cress). 5. A sprinkle of salt, grounded pepper, more curry. When listed like that it begins to sound complicated, but in reality it is quite simple, low-key, and easily done. And you can indeed pick it up and eat it without the use of cutlery. Where it differs from the complicated, "high coated" version is that you leave out the fancy fresh green leaves, you leave out the freshly cut onion rings, fresh grated horse radish, fish eggs, pickled capers seeds, lemon splice, etc. All these things piles up making it necessary to use a knife and fork.

Fascinating

Looks delicious!

Did you even do research, or did you just narrate over what you could see? It's Remoulade and Horseradish.

"mayonnaise and grated cheese" 😂

Jesus that looks good

yum!

We are not obsessed with it. Most people only eat it when they go out or at special occasions. We do however eat a lot of simply open-faced sandwiches with 1-2 toppings besides butter.

Meghan Leigh back reporting! Yea!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Because it tastes good, simple as that.

Where’s Vivian. She is a wonderful host to see besides hear. Please bring her back 🙏🏻🎉👏🏻

Smørrebrød is good but it should come with thick pea soup

Excuse me, but I find it challenging to appreciate the concept of stacking an entire meal on a single piece of bread. It appears to be quite impractical, as the structure is likely to collapse after the first bite. I must admit that it is not particularly appealing to me

Yeah, I tell you, there's nothing I crave more than a small, €17, open-faced sandwich. No accounting for taste!

They messed up the first one. NEVER rye bread with fish, when it's smørrebrød.

Poor music choice and editing for this one.

Yeah naah looks pretty ordinary to me

This guy calls himself a chef?😂
