It’s all about enjoying the good things in life with good people, right? And Easter is especially the time for this, especially good food! And with Easter fast approaching, what better time to start planning a festive feast?
1. Skidne Æg aka Dirty Eggs
What would Easter be without eggs, eggs and more eggs? Chocolate eggs and...dirty eggs?! This traditional dish - whose name derives from the ritualistic day of spring cleaning - consists of hard-boiled eggs on rye bread accompanied with mustard and cress.
2. Smörgåsbord
The buffet-style table of hot and cold dishes is popular spread put on at Easter. An assortment of cured meats, sliced cheese, liver pâté, smoked/pickled fish with a selection of bread and butter. Pass the carbs!
3. Gravlax
An amazing appetiser of thinly sliced raw salmon (cured in sugar, salt and dill) served on rye bread or with a side of boiled potatoes and topped with a dill and mustard sauce. You know the drill, it's awesome.
4. Easter Lamb
A classic Easter dish and a favourite meal among many - roast lamb served with all the trimmings.
5. Easter Beer and Snaps Shots
No celebration is complete without beverages, and the Nordic offerings certainly don’t disappoint. Shots of Akvavit, more commonly known as Snaps, are taken during the course of the meal. The distinctive spirit is flavoured with herbs, spices and fruit oils. The Danes create a Speciality Easter Brew which is stronger and tastier than other beers. Skål!
