What we are eating











One of the funs of traveling for me is of course food! I love trying new things and I think of myself as a pretty adventurous eater. Unfortunately, we haven't really dined out here yet because we are not quite centrally located (not very close to the good restaurants), and Jonathan's been so busy he just wanted to eat in. So we've been going a lot to the nearby supermarket called "Kvickly" (no, it's not "Quickly", the Danes will correct you if you pronounced it that way!), and cook at home. Browsing the local supermarkets is also a pretty fun thing to do. A little bit stressful when you have to do it every day when you can't read the package...

Anyway, here is what we had for dinner. The veggies are so fresh, and just a simple salad like this tasted really good. The green peas are in season, and you see them everywhere in the city. In fact I saw a few people just snacking on them (raw), so I had to get it. Very fresh and very good. The fish of the day (haha), was plaice, a kind of a fluke, and it's the most commonly eaten fish in Denmark. I pan-fried it, but I later found out that you usually bake it in the oven, so next time I will try that.

We are staying at a furnished apartment that also came equipped with some cooking utensils. Cooking with only one pan and two pots, three really dull IKEA knives (and no rice cooker!) is pretty challenging...
