For this next meal, I decided to change things up a bit, and head to an area that I haven't ventured into yet. I thought it might be interesting to check out some northern European or Scandinavian cuisine, so I chose Denmark. A small, interesting country with one of the most fascinating cities - Copenhagen, and one of the best beers out there - Carlsberg! Copenhagen has been recognized as one of the most environmentally friendly cities, and also as one of the cities with the best quality of life. Carlsberg is just, well, delicious, in my humble opinion!
After some searching, I decided to make a Kødrulle, which is a pork meatloaf cooked in beer. It was fun to make, even if I did have to run out at the last minute to get some cheesecloth that I was absolutely certain I already had but simply couldn't find. Oh, and yes, I did hesitate momentarily when choosing this particular recipe, wondering whether the beer would be better consumed directly than used to cook the meal. Having made the dish, I would now say that I should have paid attention to that thought. This is not one of the dishes that will make it onto my regular menu, as I didn't exactly enjoy it. Ah, well...I can't expect that everything I make will be a success. As an accompaniment, I had some Brændende Kærlighed. Translated into English, the name of this dish is "Burning Love", and it was exactly the type of recipe I am looking for - simple and delicious! So, not an entire loss, and I did get to enjoy a couple of bottles of Carlsberg!
spise godt
