Scandinavian Street Food: Danish Æbleskiver For Christmas
sparkle - too bad the Washington State restaurant couldn't please you. Hope these ones can - but, if you don't like pancakes, I doubt that you'll enjoy 'em.
;D

Scandinavian Street Food: Danish Æbleskiver For Christmas
kdroste - well, Danish sweets are meant to be eaten whenever, and "dessert" might be the wrong label for Æbleskiver...
:D
Scandinavian Street Food: Danish Æbleskiver For Christmas
CrashBangBoom - the savory idea is really cool; Thomas Herman of Herman Copenhagen (1 Michelin star) serves it at his restaurant - so you were ahead of your time :D
The Physiology of Foie: Why Foie Gras is Not Unethical
Wow Kenji - A fantastic piece, it's going to be very interesting to read the comments. Surely, you'll be in for both praise and hell for this one. Well done!
Scandinavian Streetfood: Fried Herring on Crisp Bread in Stockholm
Wunami - well, it's borderline. Served standing up at a stall in a market hall, but on a real plate... It is a "deluxe" version of the ones served on paper plates outside. To me it is streetfood - a quick bite before you continue shopping.
Scandinavian Street Food: Danish Crispy Pork Cracklings
@mandyhello - thank you very much, hope you tried them and loved them!
@drake - sorry 'bout that - but I think you should be able to order them from your local butcher?
@maom - thanks back!
@bkhuna- yes, those are amazing as well!
@dinaof doom - thank you very very much for that nice comment
Scandinavian Street Food: Gourmet Hot Dogs from Andersen Bakery in Copenhagen
@hawk & scatteredsong - Thanks a lot!
Scandinavian Streetfood: Rød Pølse, the Essence of Danish Hot Dogs
@kaszeta - you are absolutely right! Remoulade is extremely important in the danish sausage culture, and I'll come back to that in later posts. But, if you order a "Rød Pølse Med Brød" in Denmark, you'll most likely get just ketchup and mustard as standard accessories. Remoulade sauce would be available as an extra - just like the raw onions (my fav) in the picture.
Scandinavian Streetfood: Rød Pølse, the Essence of Danish Hot Dogs
@kanavera - thank you! :D
@Pickled Egg - I did not know about "nakki". I guess it comes from "knackwurst", or am I completely off? Yes, the swedish dogs sometimes contain some weird stuff - and I'll be covering that in later posts.
@vikingappetite - thanks for the comment, but Norway, Denmark and Sweden are actually the only Scandinavian countries. Finland & Iceland are Nordic, but they are not part of the Scandinavian peninsula. However, there might be a few Nordic features here in the future as well, as some traditions span the whole region.
@sheba - too bad. Would have been great to be able to get a danish dog (a great dane?) in NYC....
Scandinavian Streetfood: Rød Pølse, the Essence of Danish Hot Dogs
@Hawk - thank you! There are some pretty interesting variations in Sweden.
@Kenji - I appreciate it! Next time you're in Scandinavia, make sure to make time and room for some danish dogs aswell.
@scatteredsong - hahaha! I agree completely.
@yayfood - yes, the china is amazing.
@splik - absoultey. Rødgrød Med Fløde is one of my favorite danish desserts, and I wouldn't dream of keeping it from the lovely Serious Eats-readers. And frikadeller - another classic that surely will be featured here eventually.
@hotdoglover - I did not know about F&B, will make sure to go there next time in NYC. Danish red sausages are always made pork - but there is a growing interest in lamb-based sausages in general aswell. I doubt they will ever make a lamb-RED-sausage though... Danes are way too conservative for that ;D
@kanavera - I agree that I should have ended the article with a danish salutation; perhaps "Velbekomme"? I blame my swedish passport for that messup... :D
Scandinavian Streetfood: Rød Pølse, the Essence of Danish Hot Dogs
@healthytouch - yes, the one in the picture is natural, but unfortunately protein casings are getting more and more common today.
As to your request - I am currently preparing the holiday specials, so there will definitely be a piece on "Lussebullar" right here on Seriously Scandinavian during December.
@chiffonte - really? Compared to other western countries?
@Mandyhello - thank you very much. Hope you can find a decent dog where you are!
Seriously Scandinavian: Swedish Meatballs
@Tacky & Robis - Thank you very much for your comments and variations, I really appreciate them! I personally think that the use of breadcrumbs/milk is down to what level of smoothness you want your meatballs to have, as it mainly affects texture (not flavor). Many of the most famous restaurant-meatballs in Sweden are very smooth and packed with panade - but I like 'em more chunky and coarse. But, as I said - it's all down to the way Mom made them. Regardless of the Mom. And regardless of the meatballs.
Dinner Tonight: Sea Scallops alla Caprese
Yes! I love it - the idea of switching the cheese for scallops is really cool. Thanks!
All the best

Beef A La Lindstrom
Welcome Mr Lindström and his famous and elegant beetrot-infused beef patties to centre stage.
Melting Elderflower Cordial Sorbet
Normally I'll enjoy the elderflower cordial mixed with ice cold water, but it is also an excellent dessert ingredient. Like here for instance, served as a sorbet, floating and melting in a sea of it's own juices.
Fresh Raspberry Mazarines
This fresh berry mazarine was first introduced to me by my wife, and even though she is allergic to almonds and subsequently have never even tasted it, she has agreed to make it for me on every once in a while.
Seriously Scandinavian: Smoked Salmon With Sunchoke Paté
Turning sunchokes into a creamy soup is perhaps the most classic way of utilizing this lovely vegetable, but there are many other good options. In this recipe they're transformed into a smooth paté and served with one of the most quintessentially Scandinavian foods out there: smoked salmon. These two leading acts work extremely well together, and supported by some oven roasted crisp bread and dill becomes a charming plate of Scandinavian flavors. More
Seriously Scandinavian: Swedish Meatballs
Where do you start a journey through the Scandinavian kitchen? Well, perhaps with the most iconic Scandinavian dish of them all. Swedish meatballs. Now, first of all, we need to settle something: Mom's meatballs are always the best in the world. Regardless of the Mom. And perhaps even regardless of the meatballs. Just like Italian sons and daughters have their mother's cooking as a frame of reference for good food, Mom's meatballs have the same function in Sweden. More

An added link - I just saw that fjorn.com have a very good selection of æbleskiver pans in both aluminum and cast iron
