\"Hindb\u00e6rsnitte\"<\/a>

Hindb\u00e6rsnitter<\/p><\/div>What comes to mind when you hear the word \u201dDenmark\u201d? Do you think of romantic fairy-tales like H.C. Andersen\u2019s Den grimme \u00e6lling<\/strong>\u00a0(The Ugly Duckling), or does your internal cinema start replaying episodes from tv serials like Borgen<\/strong>\u00a0and Forbrydelsen<\/strong>\u00a0(The Killing), showing the jetset way of life in central K\u00f8benhavn<\/strong>? The Danish tourist industry likes to stress the cosmopolitan aspects of Denmark: Denmark is inventive, cool, chic etc. But I\u2019d like to add that Denmark is also a Scandinavian country, with its share of old traditions, tiny landsbyer<\/strong> (hamlets, villages), desolate moors, woodlands, deer and nisser<\/strong> (\u201dpixies\u201d \u2013 at least they pop up in the malls every Christmas!) Here at the onset of efter\u00e5ret<\/strong> (the Autumn\/Fall), naturen<\/strong> (Nature) breaks into the lives of many Danes, offering a load of niceties:
\n\u2022 \u00e6bler<\/strong> (apples). A lot of gardens drukner i \u00e6bler<\/strong> (are drowning in apples). In the villakvarterer<\/strong> (residential neighbourhoods) here in \u00c5rhus, there are so many apples and so little time that a lot of\u2019em are left to rot i gr\u00e6sset<\/strong> (in the grass). Which is a shame, since there are so many delicious things that can be made ouf of apples: \u00e6blekage<\/strong> (apple cake), \u00e6blemos<\/strong> (apple sauce), \u00e6blemost<\/strong> (apple juice), \u00e6blegr\u00f8d<\/strong> (stewed apples), and so on!
\n\u2022 b\u00e6r<\/strong> (berries). The most frequent berries to be found in Danish forests and gardens, are the dark and sweet bromb\u00e6r<\/strong> (blackberries), but if you\u2019re lucky, you may also stumble upon shrubs of hindb\u00e6r<\/strong> (raspberries). The latter are indispensable in hindb\u00e6rsnitter<\/strong>, a yummy kind of Danish flat cake with glaze! \ud83d\ude42
\n\u2022 svampe<\/strong> (mushrooms). In the depths of the Jutlandic forests you may find excellent mushrooms like kantareller<\/strong> (chanterelles) and karljohanner<\/strong> (\u201dKarl Johan\u2019s\u201d, penny buns). Be ware! Many svampesteder<\/strong> (mushroom locations) are kept top secret by savvy locals, so don\u2019t blame me if you\u2019re being misled to a spot full of poisonous r\u00f8d fluesvamp<\/strong> (red amanita)\u2026<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t ever try to eat a \u201dr\u00f8d fluesvamp\u201d.<\/p><\/div>\n
