'Gammel Dansk' - like akvavit - drunk before breakfast (fasting heart) is only used as a daily medication to prevent cardiovascular diseases. But on occasions as sundays, birthdays, yule lunches (uninhibited, traditional eat and drink party at chrismas time), graduations, weddings, anniversaries, mayday morning assembly etc. it may be drunk as a festive drink with a breakfast meal containing 'rundstykker' (crispy bun from the baker) with butter.
I and my entire extended family have travelled the world and we always bring along plenty of Gammel Dansk and start every day while travelling with a large shot of it. It keeps you from getting upset stomach and the runs from local food and water. I am from Iceland, not Denmark but picked this up from my father. Us and many of our friends swear by it.
Leandro... Of course he can read Danish. Also, do a Vesper riff for the Gammel Dansk cocktail. Sub the Vodka for Akavit and the Quinquina for Gammel Dansk. Citrus forward gin? Maybe a couple dashes of mint bitters or something similar to liven it up? I dunno, I'm kinda shooting from the hip here.
You guys should totally try the "Unicum" drink from Hungary. It's a bitter drink made with lots of herbs, quite like Jä]ermeister. Has a few variants. (Original, plum and NEXT) My absolute favourite is the plum version.

these herbal bitters are very common and liked for digestation after eating in europe. thats why there are a lot of regional ones. another reason for this is that it often was made in monasteries beginning in the middle ages and they all had their own regional recipes
Very very late to this, obviously, but I find your notes on St. Hallvard *fascinating*. To me, it reads as a decent sub for Benedictine; I don't get the bitter notes you describe at all. I use it in a Monte Carlo riff I call "Karlsfjell" (Carl's mountain): 2 oz smooth Norwegian Aquavit (I use Gammel Opland), 1/2 oz St. Hallvard, 2 dashes ango.

Beerenburg. You need to get Weduwe Joustra Beerenburg...( Widow = Weduwe), best there is...and you can mix with coca cola. it makes cola drinkable even. The herbs have to have Acorus calamus in them... also called sweet flag, sway or muskrat root, among many common names[.
Dutch is speaking in the Netherlands, it's not Holland. Holland is only a part of the Netherlands. You have Sonnema Berenburger, I think it's the best Berenburger. I like it.

One of the criteria for someone becoming a saint is having prayers answered which have been addressed to you. So, only after death. There are other criteria too - it usually takes years.
I'm Faroese/Danish, and my dad loves Gammel Dansk. Always picks up a bottle before we go to our summerhouse in Northern Zealand. I love the initial kick of spiciness, but the following bitternes pretty much ruins the overall taste in my humble opinion.
That bison grass vodka is lovely for a drink but that is some fighting vodka if i have ever found one, I swear it makes people aggressive if you drink a bottle ^^.
Steps required to become a Saint Step 1: DieUnfortunately, the first thing you have to do to become a saint is to die. That leaves a lot of us out of the running. The purpose of being dead before becoming a saint is an important one -- you have the benefit of being in heaven along with God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. Step 2: Servant of GodThis is where the process of naming a saint gets put into motion. While it’s generally five years after a person dies before the process can begin, there have been some exceptions. There are three things to look at if a person is to be considered for sainthood (canonization is the Church’s term). First, the person must be thought of as having “heroic virtue;” second, they must be thought of as being in heaven, and third, they must be recognized by the Catholic Church for the sake of the faithful still here on Earth.This step generally begins when people petition the bishop of the diocese where the potential saint lived to begin an investigation into that person’s life. The bishop will interview people who knew the person, collect the person’s writings, etc., then will write a report to determine if the next step should be taken. If the report is favorable, the person gains the status of “Servant of God.” Step 3: VenerableIf the person is deemed “Servant of God,” then the findings of the local bishop are sent to Rome to the Congregation of the Causes of Saints. The investigation into the life of the person will continue, with a positive outcome being the person is deemed a person of “heroic virtue.” As part of this process a person called a “devil’s advocate” raises questions and objections to the candidate’s sainthood to make sure all aspects of the person's life is examined. (That's where the term originated) The congregation will also investigate the circumstances of the person’s death if they were killed - determining if the person was killed for his or her faith. The person is known as "Venerable" if they pass this stage. According to the church, people may seek their intercession in prayer at this point.Intercession is an important point in the process, and is what will move everything else along. To become canonized, miracles are required, and the miracles come for a petitioner praying to the person for help. The miracles must be documented and investigated. There must not be means other than divine intervention that could have caused the miracle. Step 4: BlessedIf a person claims a miracle happened due to intercession by the person in heaven, and it is investigated, confirmed and approved by the pope, then the would-be saint’s status is moved to “Blessed.” This process is called beatification. A ceremony is held when a person is seen as “Blessed,” usually in that person’s home town or home country. Step 5: SaintAfter the four previous steps are completed, there’s just one more, but it’s a big one. A second miracle must be investigated and confirmed. Once that happens, the person may be named a Saint. If they are, they are assigned a feast day on which they will be celebrated. A Mass at the Vatican usually follows that. The sitting pope has the option to shorten any part of the process - including waiving the requirement for one or both miracles and not waiting to start the process until the person has been dead for five years.
Gammeldansk is a real "aquired taste" , but once you get a taste for it.You can do a cocktail as well..2 CL gammeldansk , some Honey and fill Up with prosecco
A bit of danish commentary: Of course Marius can read danish, norwegian is basically danish with spelling errors (unlike Bokmål, which is just danish). re. Gammel Dansk, it is (or used to be) a stable at High school christmas breakfasts. Some older people also used it as a "morgenbitter" (morning-bitter) to start the digestion in the morning, that's probably why it said breakfast.
Berenburg doesn’t actually qualify as a bitter. Because it is made with jenever. A Dutch bitter should be made with brandy. And the reason it became so popular is that much of the Dutch population had a profession related to the sea. Sailors or Harbour workers and stuff like that. And if you have ever been to the Dutch coast you must have noticed the extremely chilly winds. Especially in autumn and winter. The herbs (in combination. With the alcohol) was thought to be beneficial to your health, like most alcoholic drinks with herbs in them. And I can’t say I disagree 😂. Also, next time you are in Europe, get some Hungarian “Unicum” it is one of my personal favorite bitters. Cheers
Norway, Denmark and Sweden have quite similar languages in written form. In spoken, well... not so much! I'm swedish and I understand Norwegian fine but I can't understand anything the Danes say. To be honest, I doubt even they understand danish themselves! To make it even worse, they understand swedish very well so they understand what I say and then answer and I'm like "huh?!". For that reason, I usually speak english when I'm in Denmark but I know they can tell I'm swedish from my accent. It's awkward, I feel like they're silently judging me.
@@Matarro1980 this is funny. Alot of swedish people speak swedish to danes. But when you get outside Copenhagen very few people can keep up with swedish in a conversation. I guess alot of big companies in Copenhagen hire swedes because of the short distance.
Tip on pronouncing the Żubrówka, try: Jou(french pronounciation) + broovka(english pronounciation, but try to make a hard "r" sound). Oooooor put it in googleTranslate and make it read it in polish :p
Well, they can't really make you a saint while you're still alive because you might all of a sudden turn around and become a murderer or a stock broker or something, and that'd just embarrass everyone. You only know for sure if someone's a saint when their whole life story is complete.

You’re supposed to drink the berenburg really really cold, from a small glass straight out of the freezer. That should help with the flavor
Basically make it so the cold tempers the flavor...LOL
@@freepour you can add a dash of cola to it, about 1/4 is what i use.
Centaurium,liquorice,sandalwood,gentian,juniper berry,laurel,calamus,are a few things in Berenburg. It's mostly used in simple combo's. With cola,7up,orange juice etc.
