I rarely remember to take pictures of all my meals for a real “What I Ate Wednesday” post, but last week when I traveled to Denmark, I actually remembered to take pictures of all the Danish food I ate on Wednesday!
I ate breakfast at the airport in Frankfurt, but the airport and train station bakeries all over Europe seem to offer similar choices: massive pastries or savory sandwiches.

Since I was not in the mood for a sugar rush or crash + burn later, I opted for a savory sandwich. The whole grain bread with nuts and seeds looked delicious, and the egg, turkey and cheese had real staying power.
Even though I’d been up for two hours, I hadn’t had any coffee yet, so I ordered a “grosse kaffee.” They showed me their “extra large” mug, and it looked like it would do the trick.

By lunch time I was in Copenhagen, and had worked up an appetite getting from the airport to my hotel and orienting myself for my afternoon meeting. I studied the menu on the street for A Hereford Beefstouw, and was debating between a salad with a baked potato or a burger and “frites.” Once I sat down and smelled other hot lunches cooking, there was only one thing that would do!

Dinner was a real treat, as a friend who lives in Copenhagen had invited me over, and she and her husband prepared a gourmet meal showcasing “real” Danish food.
We started off with a soup course.
suppe (with scallops and potatoes)
The main course included cod, new potatoes, and salad.
fisk, kartofler, and salat
Don’t worry, I had seconds!
For dessert, ice cream and a traditional Danish confection called flødeboller.
is, flodeboller
So, that was my What I Ate Wednesday of Danish food!
Are you an adventurous eater when you travel?
Do you prefer a sweet or savory breakfast?

I LOVE ME because Im so not all that adventurous in my hood–but when traveling?
IM IN.
the husband still shudders but I figure you only live once 🙂
Wow, yummy day! I’ve definitely been into savory breakfast these days, I can’t get enough eggs and avocado.
Hah! Avocado was the one thing missing from that sandwich!
How awesome to get a home cooked meal! So, what’s in flodeboller? I like a little sweet in my breakfast, but overly sweet will leave me crashing.
The coffee looks fantastic too!
The flodeboller has a light marshmallow filling. 😉
Now this is the kind of WIAW post that I can get into!
I love trying regional foods when I travel and am especially jealous of the coffee and suppe that you enjoyed! Thanks for sharing!
All of that looks tasty – so cool that you had friends there and were able to share a meal with them.
I like sweet breakfasts if it is still early but if I’ve been up awhile then I always go savory!!!
Interesting on your shifting appetite. I tend to have eggs at home and oatmeal at work, so maybe I am the opposite.
I do love trying new foods!
