Ingredients: Danish local specials [closed] - Local Fisherman Shop

I'm visiting Denmark and I'd like to bring home some local Danish ingredients so I can prepare a meal which is specific for Danish cuisine (can be scandinavian if Danish is too narrow).

It doesn't necessarily have to be full-blown meal, it can be snack or something equally simple.

Additional requirement it should survive flight so I tumult more about either something dry or canned or similar.

Any recommendations?

I'm from Denmark but I've lived in so many other places. Here's a list of things that usually go well:

  • leverpostej, similar to foie gras, tastes very good on rye bread.
  • marineret sild, marinated herring, also very good on rye bread.
  • flæskesvær, crunchy salty pig skin :-) people say it tastes a lot better than it sounds, and though I personally disagree, my foreign colleagues like it.
  • "proper" (strong) liquorice like Haribo's Super Piratos or Leaf's Lakrisal - because anything with less than 6% ammonium chloride is for wusses!
  • various kinds of cheese and bread, as has been said already.
  • wienerbrød, Danish pastry, especially kringle and spandauer are delicious.
  • makrel i tomat, canned mackerel (fish) in tomato juice, yet another delicious treat on rye bread.

Answer 2

The Danish do a nice line in pickled cucumbers, cheeses and crispbreads. Cheeses to look at include Havarti, Samsoe, Esrom, Maribo and the various kinds of Danish Blue. The pickled cucumbers are very much a local thing.

Answer 3

There are a variety of breads you could get - a lot of sourdough, rye and seed breads. Open sandwiches are popular in Denmark, for some reason. Also Danish salami can be very good.

Answer 4

Licorice (danish: lakrids). But, er, buy a bag first and see if you enjoy the local interpretation or not.
