Denmark

For our next big meal, we are going to head over to Europe, and more specifically, Denmark.

Denmark is one of the most progressive countries in the world, as well as one that has retained many of its old traditions. Travelling through the larger towns of the country, you would notice the varying architectural styles, traditional food, and sense of culture. However, Denmark is very progressive as well, being one of the leading countries in environmental protection, as well retaining a very open stance on many modern issues.

As for food, Danish cusine has many features which seperates it from the rest of the world. As local foods are preferred over imported foods in the country, much of the dishes depend on what is already widely available. For this reason, dairy products, grain products, and a variety of vegetables feature in Danish meals, as well as meat such as pork and beef.

Next we will be taking a look at a meal that you might see on a Danish dinner table, consisting of hame and pea soup, potato bread, and hot slaw, as well as a tasty bonus recipe, Danish meat balls.
