Danish food-nonsense

Once again I had no clue of what to write about. Luckily I poked my friend Markus and he suggested I could write about food . So I will - Danish food, of course! (Yes, otherwise it wouldn't be fun). So I've selected a few Danish dishes that I'll talk about and of course I'll have to talk about the Danish people and their food-habits in general - otherwise Markus will be sad. Okay, here goes.

(One) of my favourit dishes of all time are boller i karry which is meat balls in curry served with rice and whatever else you need. My parents still pick on me whenever we're having this dish because I once jumped up and down of happiness when I found out we should have it. So now they're expecting me to do it again which is not going to happen, I'm way too lazy to do so. Unless it's tuna, I'd anything for tuna! Oh well, let's  take another dish. The next dish is called stegt flæsk med persille sovs which is slices of fried pork with potatoes and a parsley sauce. Honestly I'm not sure if I've made had this, but the parsley sauce and the potatoes can also be eaten with normal meat balls (which we call, in this case, frikadeller) so I've had that instead. It's really nice but I could definitely live without it...

A fancy kransekage, Markus found (yes on Google)

Okay the next dish which is up is actually a dessert, hurrah, and it's called risalamande and is rice porridge with extra whipped cream (according to Wiki and my brain).  It's really delicious but we Danes only eat during the Christmas days. But what really makes it great, is that we make it a game to eat this dish. Oh yes, we Danes are really creative (or not). Either way you hide an almond in the dish and the person who gets the almond will get a present. Often, in my family at least, the present will be candy, chocolate or some sort of food. Other families have a bad habit of letting the kids get the almond because they will get disappointed if the mother or father gets it. Well that's not how we play in my family because I haven't gotten the almond ever! Though my grandmother cheats and gives it to me now and then. But anyway here comes the last one!  According to Markus kransekage is also Danish and this is dish is, if you ask Wiki, a wreath cake. Danes normally eat it at New Year's Eve and on special occasions such as weddings and birthdays. Kransekage tastes really good but as all good food too much of everything can be enough. But I think I'll end it here though I could go on and on about Danish food because Markus is a bit upset about me not writing about rødgrød med fløde or smørrebrød - but I might do that another day! Anywizard Sille is out!
