What to Try in Copenhagen
The Danes like to eat a lot and taste good. The local cuisine is based on seafood, which is used for soups and second courses. But they don't forget about meat. In Copenhagen, you'll have the chance to try the country's very popular roast pork with cabbage, pork liver with fried onions, liver pâté, Danish-style bacon (lard with vegetables), salted chicken with pineapple, and much more.
Another Danish dish known around the world is smørrebrød. It's just a sandwich, but don't shrug your shoulders in bewilderment! You won't find it anywhere else!
