Of the three we tried, the gnalling was my favorite. This type of cheese was actually a happy accident. It loosely translates to "grumbling". They were trying to create a brie and it failed. But the end result is actually delicious so they decided to market it as a new cheese. It was both nutty and creamy. The havgas was similar to a cheddar using milk from cows that graze by the ocean. And the gammel knas was like a creamy havarti with some crunch - not unlike the bits you find in a decent aged parmesan regiano.
Next stop was for some smorrebrod, which is the word they use for all the small open faced sandwiches you find here. I loved the shrimp with the kimchi although the truffled egg salad was also tasty.
Next stop was at Aaman's where the smorrebrod was reinvented. I guess you could say these were gourmet versions. I like the chicken salad one the best. I paired it with an herbal soda.
After that we has a beer stop at a local brewery called Norrebro Bryghus. They had a very delicious dark ale!!
Then it was hot dog time. We stopped at a food truck and had a traditional Denmark hot dog.
You had your choice of sausage. Traditional toppings are mayo, mustard, ketchup, fried onions, raw onions and pickles. It reminded me of a cross between a Flo's hot dog in Cape Neddick Maine and a traditional Chicago dog - or course with no tomato or celery salt.
The final two stops were for sweets. First was at the Queen of Denmark's favorite candy store. They weren't very friendly here Angie and I didn't stay long. The next was at a chocolate shop where they had an amazing marshmallow covered in dark chocolate!
We went back to on the hotel so Angie could work.
In the evening, we took the train out to the suburbs to meet up with Angie's high school friend and her family. We had a terrific dinner with a pork roast that is usually made at Christmas. It's pretty great when these reunions can happen.
