How Our Eating Habits Changed After Moving to Denmark
#Denmark #Danmark #ExpatsInDenmark

This video is all about how our eating habits have changed since moving to Denmark. There are many small changes that we have adapted to during our time living in Denmark. The Danish tastes are different than the cuisine that we grew up with in America, and there are other changes as well.

BREAD BREAD BREAD
In a Danish grocery store, you will find many types of bread with different additives (seed, herbs, etc).
Spreads and toppings for open-faced sandwiches like Danish smørrebrød
Bread is even part of a cold breakfast and many breads are only for certain meals

WE EAT AT HOME MORE
Dining out in Denmark is a special occasion and not a random weeknight event
We cook more at home now that we have moved to Denmark and to help, we have stepped up our culinary skills. We use SkillShare to find ways to make more elevated cuisines. The first 1,000 people to use this link will get a 1 month free trial of Skillshare: [ Ссылка ]

SMALLER PORTIONS
Danish meals are obviously smaller than American portions
Dining out in Denmark will likely include many courses of small plates with complex presentation and plating
We always have to adjust when we go back to the States and have a meal, especially when dining out

BUYING FRESH FOODS MORE OFTEN
It’s very common for people to cook - they have the time and learn to cook early in Danish life (no real gender roles around cooking in Denmark)
Foods have fewer additives and preservatives, which means you cook from scratch most often and have fewer prepared foods
This also means that you may have to go to the store many times per week to buy fresh ingredients or they go bad

DINNER ISN’T RUSHED
In Denmark, it’s more common to eat at the table with your family
You would never rush through a meal in Danish culture, it’s a social gathering and a bit more structured
Major occasions in Denmark (New Years Eve, Christmas, a christening, confirmation etc) may have speeches in between courses but even at a Danish dinner party it’s common to have long chats, wine, and banter between courses

LESS SPICY FOODS
You’ll probably find Danish food mild depending where you move from
Even street food that you’d expect to be spicy will be made less-so to cater to a Danish clientele so ask for ‘really spicy’ if you want you order shawarma or street food in Denmark

EATING TAKE AWAY FOOD ANYWHERE
Calling it take away instead of take out
Being able to bring your own food to a bar that doesn’t serve food
Having take away outside on a bench or in a park is way more common than in the States
