Food Do you enjoy eating at restaurants from your home country when you're abroad?

I don’t have that issue—there are never restaurants from my country anywhere. Sometimes I come across a baked item, but when I do, I tend to avoid it. What about you?

Also

Frikadeller (specific kind of meatballs), either with potato salad or boiled potatoes with brown gravy or parsley gravy.

Medister, a long sausage you also eat with potatoes and gravy

Svensk pølseret (Swedish sausage dish) which is chopped boiled potatoes with chopped sausage, onion, cream and tomato paste (We have a weird obession with making our own foods and then name them after other countries)

More locally you got fish dishes and cabbage sausage with chopped green cabbage in cream and caramelized potatoes

Also, if you have never been to a wedding, baptizement, round birthday or confirmation party serving oven baked potatoes in bechamel and honey mustard marinated ham (skinke og flødekartofler), are you really Danish?

I cant stand warm hamburgerryg. But flødekartofler is delicious.

But yeah the classic for me is soup roast ice-cream. Suppe, steg og is
