Ingredients: Danish local specials
I'm from Denmark but I've lived in so many other places. Here's a list of things that usually go well:


leverpostej, similar to foie gras, tastes very good on rye bread.
marineret sild, marinated herring, also very good on rye bread.
flæskesvær, crunchy salty pig skin :-) people say it tastes a lot better than it sounds, and though I personally disagree, my foreign colleagues like it.
"proper" (strong) liquorice like Haribo's Super Piratos or Leaf's Lakrisal - because anything with less than 6% ammonium chloride is for wusses!
various kinds of cheese and bread, as has been said already.
wienerbrød, Danish pastry, especially kringle and spandauer are delicious.
makrel i tomat, canned mackerel (fish) in tomato juice, yet another delicious treat on rye bread.
