Our dish — the plate we'd order here firstFlæskestegs sandwich
Roast pork with crackling, red cabbage and pickles in a bun
Where it comes fromA Danish classic
Before the kitchen stove, most Danish homes could only boil or pan-fry, so a big roast was out of reach. Once stoves with ovens spread in the later 1800s, roast pork became the commonest meat on Danish Christmas tables.

The pork is baked until the skin blisters. The bun we came for.
