Crazy foods - Denmark Video Transcripts
Video 1 Transcript
I'd say there's not a lot of crazy food. Most of the food is pretty recognizable to Americans, if not necessarily in the same same way, but it's, you know, but I'd say some of the craziest stuff is like gamut lust, which is old, literally translated old cheese. Then there's a liver liver pate, which is liver pastei. You'll see that a lot. I mean, that's a very, very common food. The gamut lust is not quite so common. There's something called kolskor, which is a summer dessert drink that is like, literally like soured milk with like a sour cream type stuff. So those are the three craziest things I could think of off the top of my head.

Probably the weirdest one for me was Grudgrud, which means it's fruit with a little bit of sugar on it. It's sort of gelatinous, and then they pour cream over it. And I wonder sometimes if Jell-O is sort of a counterfeit of that. But anyway, it's delicious. They use any kind of fruit. Blackberries, blueberries, well, not any kind of fruit. They have blackcurrants, and blackcurrants is a common flavor. I highly recommend you try blackcurrant whatever. Blackcurrant and raspberry are the two what I would call main fruit flavors of Denmark. And they have lots of juices, and Grudgrud with that, and also pastries with those flavors as well. Pastries, almond flavored pastry is my favorite. You can also get that in America and make it pretty easily yourself.

Danish food consists of mostly just meat and potatoes, but there were a few experiences where I ate things like smoked eel, as well as duck eggs that have been fertilized and had embryos in them. So that's something to watch out for. There's a lot of different cultural influences there, and they generally introduce foods that you'd be new to. But other than that, most of the foods are just meat, potatoes, sauce, a lot of cabbage, so nothing too crazy. All the food is good, from my experience.

I don't know if there are really crazy foods in Denmark. There are a couple of things that were crazy to me. Black licorice. They just crave it, love it, create different ways to consume it. The weirdest one that I had, someone gave me a hard black licorice candy with a spot of ammonia inside of it. Ammonia! That's what you smell when you smell a baby's wet diaper. Ew. I just, why would they put that in anything? Also, I had horse meat on my mission. One time we had the Danish meatballs. I don't know why Swedish ones are popular. Danish are so delicious, involving more than one meat usually. Pork and ground beef. But I had horse meat in Fogadilla one time and I didn't know until after I ate it, it didn't taste weird but it made me weird to think I had just eaten horse.
