Yesterday my family and I did an Easter lunch. Basically, Easter is another excuse in Denmark to drink and eat a lot of good food. Love this country. We were sitting at the table for over three hours and had lots of different foods, so, I'm going to list the courses for you all at home who are wondering what a traditional-ish (My family does not do the exact traditional Danish Easter lunch, they do mostly what they like and what they know will be eaten, makes sense to me, but the foods are all still very traditional) lunch is like!
Start off- cold, fish dishes:
pickled herring
breads
curry salad
onions
hard boiled eggs
shrimps
mayo
lemons
Most people take a piece of bread and put a few pieces of herring on it, then put onions and curry salad on top of the fish. Another option is the shrimp on the bread with some mayo and lemon. The curry salad also goes very well with the eggs.
Next, warm dishes:
I forget exactly what they are called, but we started off with these little tart pastries that are basically mini chicken pot pies and are delicious.
Quiche
Frikadeller
Pork roast
warm liver pâté with bacon
As you can imagine, the meal is extremely filling. Top all the food off with tons of beer and snaps, and consider yourself happy, full, and drunk.
I'm hungry
