Smørrebrød

Smørrebrød is Denmark's most famous dish: a slice of dark rye bread (rugbrød) with butter and generous toppings. Classic options include herring, fish fillet with remoulade, roast beef, liver pâté, shrimp or egg, garnished with herbs, onions, or cress. Traditionally, it's eaten at lunchtime, with a knife and fork, often accompanied by a beer or an ice-cold aquavit.
