a recipe he

and a recipe for frikkedellar he

Lead me not into temptation... I can find it myself!

Thanks for the recipe tips. I have zillions of them because I brought
all my Danish cookbooks with me when I left the country. I have to say
though, that I prefer the recipes for frikkedelllar that are made with
club soda rather than milk. It makes the meat really light!
Cheers
an ex pat

Smoked eel is indeed fantastic. Infortunately my stomach no longer
allows me to eat more than a very small piece of it. Will remember the
pastry.

Thanks

Thanks a lot Erika. How could i have forgotten the Smörrebröd after
watching the Muppets Show with the danish chef?

I am amused about the Kassler, i always thought it to be a (northern?)
german speciality but then Denmark and Northen Germany share history.

Thanks again
Carmen

No, I have still no drivers licence. The 2 collegaues who accompagny me
will do the driving while I will mourn about the chance to go to
Denmark by train ;-)

I converted Rainer to eating mussels boiled in wine ;-) so hopefully I
can find some new ways to prepare them in Denmark.

Hopefully we can chat again soon

chef"...

The first ten years of your life you try to be just like your parents.
Then for then years you try to be as little as your parents as possible.
Then you gradually change in to them.

The chef was Swedish, hence the name "Swedish Chef".

My trip to Asia begins here in Japan for an important

now, America and Japan have formed one of the great and
enduring alliances of modern times. From that alliance
has come an era of peace in the Pacific.
