Danish National Dish: Flæskesteg Roasted pork with rind
Serious meal times / Mads Damgaard
The appearance vaguely resembles pig tails. Not the ones on little girls’ heads but the ones on real pigs. And the taste is totally grunty. But it’s the texture that’s the star of the show when it comes to Danish crispy pork rinds: part firm crackling under the pressure of your teeth and part buttery with a softer crunch. If you’re the type of person who like me enjoys nibbling on pigs every now and then welcome to heaven and say hello to flæskesvær as pork rinds are called in Danish.
In Denmark pork rinds are not just a snack but an integral part of one of the most typical Danish dishes: roast pork. Here roast pork is eaten all year round and in countless variations. Making smørrebrød? Roast pork. A sandwich? Roast pork. Tuesday night dinner with the family? You guessed it! In fact the Danes even shine as one of the main attractions of the lavish Danish Christmas dinner.
