About the dish
Smørrebrød, literally ‘butter bread’, is the Danish lunch of open sandwiches on a thin slice of dark, dense rye bread, rugbrød. Each one is a small composition: pickled herring with onion and capers, egg with prawns and mayonnaise, roast beef with remoulade and crispy onions, liver pâté with pickled beetroot, or potato with mayonnaise and chives. They are eaten with a knife and fork in a set order: fish first, then meat and finally cheese. At home it is a typical lunch and a dish for family gatherings, while Copenhagen restaurants serve very refined versions.
