The Wayward Law

Ok, so in Denmark, you eat a bread that you can’t find in the US. It’s called rugbrød. It’s like pumpernickel, but it’s got seriously big seeds or kernels. Who knows how it stays together? Anyways, you put butter on it (butter goes on every piece of bread in this country; to do otherwise constitutes some sort of treason, because butter is like the national product). Then, you put some other food media on the butter/bread palette. Possible options: whipped honey, salami/ham/turkey/roast beef/other meat product, nutella, thin chocolate slices (I prefer milk to dark), nutella, cheese and/or jam. We can eat zillions of calories here because we are always out in the freezing cold weather either biking or walking. Danes really eat like crap, but they also burn more calories than any group I’ve ever spent time with. My favorite combination right now is whipped honey and ham. It’s kind of like honey-smoked ham, but different. Anyways, Danes eat this (smørrebrød) for pretty much any meal. I’ve been eating it for dinner lately. What do I have for breakfast? Pastry. I feel like if I was burning this many calories back home…I dunno…It’s wierd..
