I just had sausage, one egg, and hash browns with coffee. I don't
really care for gravy and bisquits with this dish. Too greasy and
fattening for me. The way people fix gravy looks gross to me and
sometimes has too much black pepper in it.

Hello Intet,

As a young lad, I always wrinkled my nose, blanched, and said "Blech" when fried liver was served. Then, when I was 20 I dated a woman who owned a catering business. She invited me one evening for a surprise dinner - it was fried liver - but she made it in some fashion and with a secret recipe - it was quite delicious.

Cheers,

Intet - my latest chapter in my "teach yourself Danish" has a little about Danish table manners ... which I remember from my Danish lessons years ago (long story and I'll not bore you with it). But my old Danish teacher died of cancer just before I made my first trip there ...

Anyway the book lays out clearly the etiquette for behaviour when attending a Dane's home for dinner.

Værsgo! Nu skal vi spise. On the menu is: flæskesteg med rødkål og æblekage. I wouldn't eat the pork chops but he apple trifle is to die for, must make that one day!! Not a big fan of red cabbage, either for that matter.


Anyway - when the meal's over, the hostess says "Velbekomme!" - very nice.


I wonder if such delightful manners are still in use in Denmark?

I am with you all the way CD :tiphat:

The things we change about ourselves hunting down women or in generel scandinavian chicks while young??? Even the fried liver might taste delicious.......looking at you kid?

AWESOME CD - Are you honest? Or did you slip in a joke here?

I tell you honestly, I haven´t eaten liver nor gul sagosuppe since the age of 12. My last meet with this none-cool-dish both having been served the gul sagosuppe first and then fried liver at a friends house. I had never been home with him to meet his parents, but I was already then a true gentleman, so I ate both the soup and the fried liver. Of course I did it the wrong way eating too fast, so his mother looking at my then skinny body, said:

You look as if you could easely eat some more liver, intet?

To put it bluntly, while my friend from school was laughing his behind off, he knew from a summer camp, I would rather be burned for heteracy, than try the gul sagosuppe and the fried liver (stegt lever) again. It´s the smell, I can´t stand. But then, the toes and the tail from pigs, the heart, the kidnies and any organ from animals, not really my kind of food.

No, French Pepper steak with baked potatoes, or Spagetti with meat balls like they serve it at church or prepared by myself, that´s more like it - Even fried frogs, shark, octopussy, snake or tosted red ants, I can eat out of pure politeness. But never again gul sagosuppe, the small fish eyes folloow you all the way up to your mouth, and the fried liver - No way!!

Hi Intet

I would rather eat liver than fried frogs. I tried frogs legs once in France, they were disgusting, even though I was told they tasted like chicken (Nooooo way.)

Ms. Margaret :tiphat:

I would rather not eat any of it, but the frogs prepared by a real French Cheff, are not that bad. Like you Ms. Margaret, I was also told, it would be like eating chickens, but I did not think so.

As I´ve already stated, I would do alot in politeness to someone abroad having been invited for dinner with his family at his house, knowing custums are different in different countries, and particularely if you´re invited to a house with no economical surplus at all, I would probably eat whatever they served me.

HI Intet,

No joke about the "fried liver" - but I can understand that some will develop a life-long aversion to it and I respect that.

Humbly,

Ever had Mexican chocolate? It's to die for. Their chocolate taste
like the regular with cinamon added to it. Yummy!;)

You guys are twisted with the frog legs.

I once ate a cricket lolypop and a chocolate covered maggot.....psychology class experiment. It was kinda fun ;) and I bet that liver sounds pretty good right about now, huh? lols

but seriously, my least favourite food is most of the seafood. if it comes in a shell (mussels, midi) i cant even bring myself to look at it... let alone try it

haha, well the cricket was more of a lunch type of item, being really small and all. and the same thing applies to the maggotts, really ;)

Muza, love your "why waste money on psychotherapy when you can listen to the B Minor Mass" quote - it's just so apt. One of my favourite works by the way.

Hi Ms. Judy,

Be good to your body in the mornings - bring together in a bowl some sliced apples, bananas, oranges, strawberries, blueberries, watermelon, cantaloupe, red grapefruit and cottage cheese. Throw in a whole-wheat bagel or slice or whole-wheat bread w/ cream cheese Also, drink green tea(iced or hot) instead of coffee.

Cheers,
