Pickups in denmark are way to expensive, We dont have cheap pickups like us and australia, on top of that it eats gas like an elephant eats trees and gas in denmark is not cheap. Nice vid and welcome to denmark hope you enjoy your stay...
The idea with replacing the trailer with a bigger car, is a very English speaking thought process. That type of car is more expensive, higher fuel cost just so you can use to haul stuff without a trailer once in a while. It is much cheaper to buy a car which suits your every day needs and use it with a trailer when needed.
In case it hasn't been mentioned in the comments yet, I feel like I need to correct you on the speed limits lest you get stopped by the police. It is understandable if it can be confusing if you are unaware, but Denmark has a (apparently pretty unique) system where most speed limits are unwritten and will not be signed. The rule is if you are in a town or city the speed limit is always 50 km/h if nothing else is stated. In rural areas the speed limit is 80 km/h and on the highway it is 130 km/h. These limits apply unless signage tells you otherwise. If a sign is visible it overwrites the "standard" until the next intersection.
The hook for the trailer is commonly known as a "Jyde-krog" (Jute-hook) because most people in Jylland has one on their car. We forgot to check for that last time we bought a car 😞- but luckily we have two cars so no worries still able to use the trailer... 🙂
Sorry to hear that you are hookless!. My boss told me about he Jyde-Krog, but unfortunatley I wanted to film him explaining this gor the camera, and I ran out of time. Cheers
With a trailer, you can "disconnect the bed" when not in use. If you use the bed almost every time, a truck makes sense, although a van is probably better suited for Danish weather. In the opposite case, a trailer, in my opinion, makes more sense and allows any car to do truck stuff (minus the off-road capabilities). An empty bed doesn't do your mileage any good, and even with a cover, things still get dirty back there, unlike a trunk.
Welcome to Denmark,. While being Danish, I'm not sure I will be tempted to taste the gray-rich dishes shown in your video. Nevertheless, I would recommend our national dish: 'stegt flæsk med kartofler og persillesovs'. Enjoy.
I can recommend the fluffed up Flæskesvær med flødeost - yummy, and good on the tummy (if not lactose intolerant ;ø) Edit - try say this out loud 3 times: Fluffy flæskesvær med flødeost er bedre end jordbærgrød med fløde
@@whatisbrendanuptonow7552 You can pan fry it, oven fry it or grill it! The "Stegt flæsk" is amazing Umami and works so well with potatoes and the sauce is the "pièce de résistance". But works without the sauce as well. Be sure to buy the pork at a real butcher ;) And run 10km to ensure you don't add weight when eating it... And yes, the trailer thing is a Jutland thing ;)
If you think about it, a pickup truck is just a hatchback with a trailer permanently attached to it. 99% of the time the truck bed is not in use, so why not detach it and save gas?
Great attempt at Bøf Sandwich, and the cheese on chips and gravy idea is great though i have never eaten it quite like that :D I quite enjoy seeing others moving to denmark and how they react on it and our oddities :)
Regarding the cinnemon thing. I am a Dane and 57 years old. I have yet to witness it first hand or have it happen to any of people that I know even a little. That is not to say it does not happen, but it is maybe more common in some parts of the country? That goes for the trailers as well. They call the hook a "Jutland hook" for a reason 😀

Cinnamon powder is extremely fine and can make its way through your skin as a result, just like it can get stuck in your lungs and eyes. :/ That's why even with dosing the person in water first (to make the powder lumpy) it can still negatively affect their health. It's common to cause irritated and itching skin, which is among the lesser ills. But yes, the cannon is an accident waiting to happen; cinnamon burns really well.

Hej Ricky. Thanks for the comment. I haven´t had the pleasure yet of casting my eye over one of these Danish redneck vehicles. But from now on I will deffinatley keep a sharper eye out for them and hopefully be friend them.

Just a PSA from a Dane to the tourists: Don't actually drive over the speed limit. Our police can be pretty useless at times, but they are efficient when it comes to getting money from tickets, even internationally
@@whatisbrendanuptonow7552 it appears you live in an area with 1-3 cops and with maybe 1 on patrol covering a rather large area. BUT, they can and do drive unmarked cars for just this purpose, ticketing people for speeding. Id say the chance you get pulled over in rural southern jytland is less than 1%. but its not impossible.
Trailer vs Ute: It rains A LOT here (as you've noticed) so for 200 days a year you can't use the trailer or flatbed unless you start mucking about with tarps and whatnot. And a ute is longer than a regular car, which is a problem in cities. So, take the "ute part" off your car and put it back on when you need it.
Oh - me and my boyfriend were in Australia for 30 days, you can so Dane without having to have a visa, and I can say it's big, the country- yes actually the continent which is of the 7 continents that are on the planet. . We, my boyfriend and I, visited her middle son, who was there to work, together with his girlfriend. our base was in the area of Bondie Beach, stayed on a holel just 500 meters to the beach. It was great. Her son made a trip for us at a tourist office, where we were going north, Allene, my boyfriend and I. -It was by bus where we first visited Harvey Beach ( think that's what it was called. and we also visited Frezer Ireland- next stop was Byron Bay and ended at Arlie Beach -and had 3 days there at a fantastic hotel with no like four rooms and huge kitchen-dining room and a fantastic view of the sea just off the Great Barrier Reef- should have had a boat trip there but because of bad weather., it was cancelled- but we had to fly home 2x 1.5 h
Pretty sure we have it from the cristmas dinners, dipping the chips in brown gravy(sauce), atleast thats what ive done my entire life! :D Then it just advanced from there. I think ive even seen "Kims" make a brown gravy dip :D (KIMS DIP MIX BRUN SOVS)
det er en meget sønderjysk ting at gøre. bevares min sovs ramte da også chipsne men blev ikke dækket til det er jo meningen de skal give lidt tekstur. (midtjylland)
You must have moved to Jutland (Jylland)! Potato chips with brown sauce, bøf sandwich and trailers are so common there - not on Sjælland. Actually the trailer hitch is also known as a “jydekrog” (a person from Jutland is a “jyde” and a hook (or hitch) is a “krog”) 😊
Some of the things you describe are only found in Judland though. The rest of the country does not serve any type of burger or sandwich with brown sauce on it, as an example. Nor do we generally cover people in cinnamon XD ... We don't really serve potato chips as anything but a snack in a bag like the rest of the world eats it either (As I celebrate Christmas with my family in Judland some years I do tend to eat them at Christmas though).
Hey Brendan, you got it right......and yes, the bøfsandwich is amazing at the lokal grill, i come there too for that....i live in Dejbjerg and will give a high five if i see you. 🙂🙂🙂
I'm a Dane and we live in the same small town 😊 I'm originally from Copenhagen moved here 16 years a go. If you want I'll can show you some of our local sights, fishing spots , hunting spots ect How this video got in my TH-cam feed baffles me a bit 😂
Hej Tommy. How did you escape from Copenhagen?. Sorry that I took soo long to reply. I have been working off shore for a few days and couldn´t log onto my youtube account. Would be great to catch up at some stage
42 yr old single dane from Copenhagen here.... I was never "seasonned"... It is more a rural thing.... and I never heard of anyone eating gravy on chips... LMAO... I do however eat cheese on my nutella sandwich and remoulade on my leverpostej sandwich...
Hej. Thanks for the tip and the comment. Hopefully others read the comments and drive a little more carefully. I am the one who takes it easy and pulls over, unfortunaley it is not common for others to do so. Plus, I am not in a position to be paying for speeding fines.
The American burger. Chef Louis Lassen, a Danish immigrant, served grilled ground beef between two slices of bread in 1900, an idea his family claims was original. The history of the hamburger chain restaurant has an indisputable history.
You nailed the driving in rural areas where the speed limit is 80 km/h you can just drive as fast as you want to. Just make sure to slow down if you get to a lower speed limit area or a newer grey VW follows you ;) And the danish game of chicken has always been a mystery to me i drive in a lowered old car towards a modern suv and for unknown reasons i am the one that has to drive in the ditch :/
Thanks for the comment. I also am the one who slows down and moves over. Years of stock car racing,demolition derby´s,rally sprint racing and off road racing in my pre children years still haven´t prepared me for the Danish back roads
We dont use gravy on potatochips, unless its around Christmas... But when we do, we do it big time! And we dont have free speed on "rural" roads either. Some seem to think we have, but its between 60-80kph, depending on the signs. As a general, its 80kph if no signs around. But insert your brain, before doing that. A tractor might pull out, and then... well, your fucked. Trailers... yeah we have quite a few. Yutes or pickup-trucks arent that common here. - Most people that can legally drive with a trailer, cant reverse it. Its quite funny to watch. But dude, welcome to our tiny country. Take care of your family, and stay safe.
Du genkender ikke traditionerne med kanel og peber ( hvilket for mig er noget giftigt lort at gøre og skulle straffes )? Du har aldrig smagt eller hørt om en bøf sandwich ? eller set mange trailer rundt omkring i traffikken ? At fødselaren gir kage på arbejdet eller i skolen ? Den eneste "ukendte" før mig var chips overhældt med brun sovs, det var klamt, men vi får chips til vores julemad og DYPPER dem i sovsen, så forbliver de sprøde. Ved ikke hvor du er fra, jeg er 55 år, kvinde og oprindelig fra Fyn.
On a note. The "pepper and cinnamon" is only a tradion that happens in "rural parts or between people from those rural parts that move to the cities. The rest of us do not do this, and look at that tradition with disdain.
😂😂😂😂 You got our number mate! From the looks of it, you're very much out west, although the bridges have allowed the sauce on the bøfsandwich to sneak further east. Utes would be great, and for a while quite a bit of them were sold, but it got killed off by taxes and environmental laws. Sorry. 🤷♂️
@whatisbrendanuptonow7552 Perhaps you can get a cultural minority pass on it, coming from Oz, but us leverpostejdanskere stand as much of a chance of it as an ice cube in hell on welcome day. 🤣🤣🤣
Everybody here have heard about it and of course know the old traditions...but most of this cinnamon and pepper spraying only exists the country side of Denmark...I have lived in south east of Denmark for few years, and many more years in Copenhagen, . I have never seen it in real life myself. You might buy som pepper in the store, and rap it up as a joke, but that's it. There is a difference between the tradition in the different part of Danmark, but I did not recognize much in this video, except that it's funny and entertaining😊
As usual, when I read or hear foreigners describing Denmark, I find it difficult to recognize their perceived reality. Has it something to do with my age or the fact that I live in a village 10 km to the west of the Jelling stones?
There are no speedlimits, unless you get caught. I am a Dane and a lover of sovs, but never had a bøf sandwich or chips with sovs. But I am already on medicine to reduce my cholesterol, so I'll skip it.
I got an airfryer a while back when I had a hanking for fries. It helps to avoid some of the fat, but I think the frozen fries are already treated with some unhealthy oil, and making fries yourself is a bit complicated, and defeats the idea of the food being easy to make. But at least it's a step in the right direction if you're picking "grill food". I really like a "pølse mix", if you haven't tried that yet. Fries and fried sausage bits, with remoulade and curry ketchup(and some people get onions and other stuff).
@@Valjean666dk I am a Polse mix man too. But we very rarely actually eat out due to budget reasons. And my wife has recently had to go on a strict healthy diet so the days of the grill house are over for me.
@@whatisbrendanuptonow7552 I can make a pølsemix in my air fryer. So that's a lot cheaper. And a little more healthy. But that's still not something to do often. I like to make large soups in my 10L pot. It stretches the money and is something I don't have to watch. So the prep time is mostly cutting veggies. Due to meat prices I tend to make cabbage, chicken and curry soup. A 1,3kg chicken for 40 kr. and a large cabbage head, and I'm well on my way to a thick soup. Fry some bits of bacon, add those and the fat. Some extra frozen veggies (broccoli and cauliflower usually). Curry, paprika, chili and maybe som barbeque spice and some boullion cubes. Top it off with some low fat cream after it has been simmering a long time and everything is cooked well. And personally I like to add some Hermesetas artificial sweetener, because it really enhances the flavor. And some cheap ciabatta bread goes well with it.
pouring brown sauce OVER the chips .. no no sir.. we dip the chips in the sauce... we hate soft chips.... you made a big faux pas and the cinnamon thing he made is actually pretty dangerous using that amount of power with cinnamon... the chemical KUMARIN is in large quantitiers harmfull... BUT it's still a super funny event....
There are many reasons why we don't use pickups in DK. You can only be 2-3 people in them. They are noisy. Bad fuel economy. Usually cheaply built. And probably more, I forget atm.
@@whatisbrendanuptonow7552 You need to be able to use a seat belt in DK. Only classic cars are excluded. Hence why you also can't sit in the bed of a pickup or in a trailer.
Brun sovs is not a sauce, it is in fact a gravy. It may translate such as, but a sauce is rather more liquid like redwine sauce. Brun sovs needs to be thiccccc
Regarding the use of the flag at birthday parties. It is not uncommon to hear kids mentioning the flag as the ‘birthday flag’. To us it is not about patriotism or military, but a thing that symbolises ‘Us’ as in ‘all of us together and united’. I will immediately follow you 👍
Hi Freja. Thanks for your comment. Yes, the brown sauce rocks! But also I did try dipping my chios, but due to the fact that I am a pig, I found that dipping takes too long to eat. Quicker to just shovel them in. Then the chips never have time to go soggy.
Crisps draped in Gravy. also known as "Jyde-Nachos" The speeds and Trailers.... let me guess Central Jutland. the "Wild West of Denmark" . region with highest average Land Mass per Policeman and at least a few years ago, the region with highest average speed and most guns per resident. go figure.
You really don't have to worry too much about oupsetting the danes, most of us are pretty chill and have a lot of self irony, we can handle a few jokes here and there. Hell we make most of them ourselves.
Hej. Yes the Danes seem to have a great sense of humor. And one of the main reasons we love living here is due to the amazing Danish people and their wonderfull hospitallity
I think most people would rather want to own a trailer because there is a lot of expense in having an additional car just for the sake of not having a trailer
@@whatisbrendanuptonow7552 It becomes a problem if you have a family. If you need 5 seats then a truck like that costs an insane amount compared to a very functional and comfortable normal car. There is also the matter that you can share a trailer. My neighborhood has 2 trailers that they collectively share. Others have a trailer they can let a relative use. You cannot do that with a truck.
Hej Alex. I would like to remind everyone that these videos are for entertainment purposes and should not be used for serious conversation. There was a sarcastic point that Australians have big utes and only ever drive them to take the kids to school. Just a little fun. I wouldn´t think that taxes will ever be cut to make vehicles affordable.
That Australian car gotta be hella expensive with our tax on gas here but hey if you got the money. Welcome to Denmark btw hope you find it comfortable
Very nice video! The cinnamon and pepper thing: Never heard of it, and I've lived in Denmark for 68 odd years. Ans some evens, too. About the bøfsandwich: Never saw, let alone ate anything like what you showed us. This is not a critique! I just think you live in Ribe or Tønder, or somewhere close to the german border. Come, come to Copenhagen, København, and you can eat real food! More choices in a more globally oriented part of the world. Seems like people in Jylland (Jutland) are still back in the sixties, when America was progressive........................ Potato chips with brown sauce: see comments above. Never heard of it. I live in the capital city. About driving: Now I know you're just joking. I admit you're funny, or fynno if you will. We also have the famous flying cows delivering milk shakes to people with diabetes... About the trailers: We here in Copenhavn call it "jydekrog", Jutland or jute hook. Because you have them in Jutland predominantly. Nice thing in the country side. And it confirms my theory about your "situation"... And I saw the sign saying Skjern, which puts you in the area of Ribe again. One of the oldest towns in DK. I wish you good and better luck, and welcome to our kind of crazy! Nice music, too!
Pickups in denmark are way to expensive, We dont have cheap pickups like us and australia, on top of that it eats gas like an elephant eats trees and gas in denmark is not cheap. Nice vid and welcome to denmark hope you enjoy your stay...
the alternative to the pickup is a nice trailer. great for hauling stuff and only chugs gas when needed.
Hej. Thanks for the comment.
Well as we say in Jutland “Anything that can be on a trailer is for sale” 😁👍
Haven´t heard that one yet. But its a good one
Just like "if it dosen't have a price tag, then it must be free"
But that one is more for a laugh
Don't say sorry for your pronounce of the danish word, you try and we really appriciate that :)

We have general speed limits and have had for decades. Like you tell, this fact may be unnoticed exactly because we do not put up unnecessary signs.

Oh - me and my boyfriend were in Australia for 30 days, you can so Dane without having to have a visa, and I can say it's big, the country- yes actually the continent which is of the 7 continents that are on the planet. . We, my boyfriend and I, visited her middle son, who was there to work, together with his girlfriend. our base was in the area of Bondie Beach, stayed on a holel just 500 meters to the beach. It was great. Her son made a trip for us at a tourist office, where we were going north, Allene, my boyfriend and I. -It was by bus where we first visited Harvey Beach ( think that's what it was called. and we also visited Frezer Ireland- next stop was Byron Bay and ended at Arlie Beach -and had 3 days there at a fantastic hotel with no like four rooms and huge kitchen-dining room and a fantastic view of the sea just off the Great Barrier Reef- should have had a boat trip there but because of bad weather., it was cancelled- but we had to fly home 2x 1.5 h
Glad you had a trip to Oz. Maybe you can make a video about Australians and their funny traditions?
So you live near Skjern, huh? Go to Stoppestedet for your next Bøfsandwich, it's so much better then Ringvejens Grill. Can't even compare.
I've never seen brown sauce on chips??? But I'm quite new here .. only lived in Denmark for 65 years ... wait? I am 65 years old!!
Pretty sure we have it from the cristmas dinners, dipping the chips in brown gravy(sauce), atleast thats what ive done my entire life! :D Then it just advanced from there. I think ive even seen "Kims" make a brown gravy dip :D (KIMS DIP MIX BRUN SOVS)
Most people seem to dip in the sauce. But that is far too slow for me.
@@whatisbrendanuptonow7552 The reason we dip it in the sauce is because we want the chips crisp and not soggy.
det er en meget sønderjysk ting at gøre. bevares min sovs ramte da også chipsne men blev ikke dækket til det er jo meningen de skal give lidt tekstur. (midtjylland)
great video , funny , ironi , hope your family like here , have a nice day✌
Of all cities in Denmark and you move to / visited Skjern! Love it
Mate, Wouldn´t want to be anywhere else!
You must have moved to Jutland (Jylland)! Potato chips with brown sauce, bøf sandwich and trailers are so common there - not on Sjælland. Actually the trailer hitch is also known as a “jydekrog” (a person from Jutland is a “jyde” and a hook (or hitch) is a “krog”) 😊
Thanks. I will try to include that info in another episode
Some of the things you describe are only found in Judland though. The rest of the country does not serve any type of burger or sandwich with brown sauce on it, as an example. Nor do we generally cover people in cinnamon XD ... We don't really serve potato chips as anything but a snack in a bag like the rest of the world eats it either (As I celebrate Christmas with my family in Judland some years I do tend to eat them at Christmas though).
Cheers for the info Kinuuni. Yes it seems to be a regional tradition.
Trailer hook. Is called a JYDE KROG.
Hey Brendan, you got it right......and yes, the bøfsandwich is amazing at the lokal grill, i come there too for that....i live in Dejbjerg and will give a high five if i see you. 🙂🙂🙂
Sounds great! Can´t wait for that high 5
My god, where in Danmark did you land? Far out in the countryside, it looks to me😂
Tysklands Odde..
I'm a Dane and we live in the same small town 😊
I'm originally from Copenhagen moved here 16 years a go.
If you want I'll can show you some of our local sights, fishing spots , hunting spots ect
How this video got in my TH-cam feed baffles me a bit 😂
Hej Tommy. How did you escape from Copenhagen?. Sorry that I took soo long to reply. I have been working off shore for a few days and couldn´t log onto my youtube account. Would be great to catch up at some stage
The classic Steak sandwich from 1949 is without brown sauce.
N1! - Welcome to, Hope you find yourself comfortable here, also with our crazy customs! 😅
...hvor i landet er i så flyttet hen, btw? 😉
Hej. We are on the west coast. Thanks for the welcome
42 yr old single dane from Copenhagen here.... I was never "seasonned"... It is more a rural thing.... and I never heard of anyone eating gravy on chips... LMAO... I do however eat cheese on my nutella sandwich and remoulade on my leverpostej sandwich...
I like your sense of humor 😂
Ausie Humor is the best. Flere af dem😊
so do I
Sometimes my wife doesn´t though
Great video. Keep up the good work
Thanks Crazyone. Glad you enjoyed it
just a bit of info:
On the smaller roads the speedlimit is 80 ... it's just that the police rarely go there, so drive safely.
He was obviously joking buddy :D
Hej. Thanks for the tip and the comment. Hopefully others read the comments and drive a little more carefully. I am the one who takes it easy and pulls over, unfortunaley it is not common for others to do so. Plus, I am not in a position to be paying for speeding fines.
The American burger. Chef Louis Lassen, a Danish immigrant, served grilled ground beef between two slices of bread in 1900, an idea his family claims was original. The history of the hamburger chain restaurant has an indisputable history.
Who ever invented it, I salute them!!
He is actually officially registered to be the inventor of the burger. You can find it in the Congressional Library.
You nailed the driving in rural areas where the speed limit is 80 km/h you can just drive as fast as you want to. Just make sure to slow down if you get to a lower speed limit area or a newer grey VW follows you ;) And the danish game of chicken has always been a mystery to me i drive in a lowered old car towards a modern suv and for unknown reasons i am the one that has to drive in the ditch :/
Thanks for the comment. I also am the one who slows down and moves over. Years of stock car racing,demolition derby´s,rally sprint racing and off road racing in my pre children years still haven´t prepared me for the Danish back roads
@@whatisbrendanuptonow7552 lol yeah they could at least have paved just 10cm wider roads.
Bøfsandwich ?ive heard of it , is it from jylland only ?
Welcome to Denmark, hope you all like it here.🙂
Thanks! We do
Jylland, so much Jylland!
And then there is Denmark... 😀
We dont use gravy on potatochips, unless its around Christmas... But when we do, we do it big time!
And we dont have free speed on "rural" roads either. Some seem to think we have, but its between 60-80kph, depending on the signs.
As a general, its 80kph if no signs around. But insert your brain, before doing that. A tractor might pull out, and then... well, your fucked.
Trailers... yeah we have quite a few. Yutes or pickup-trucks arent that common here. - Most people that can legally drive with a trailer, cant reverse it. Its quite funny to watch.
But dude, welcome to our tiny country. Take care of your family, and stay safe.
Being a Dane and lived here for many decades I don't recognise a lot of this.
Must be very local.
Du genkender ikke traditionerne med kanel og peber ( hvilket for mig er noget giftigt lort at gøre og skulle straffes )? Du har aldrig smagt eller hørt om en bøf sandwich ? eller set mange trailer rundt omkring i traffikken ? At fødselaren gir kage på arbejdet eller i skolen ? Den eneste "ukendte" før mig var chips overhældt med brun sovs, det var klamt, men vi får chips til vores julemad og DYPPER dem i sovsen, så forbliver de sprøde. Ved ikke hvor du er fra, jeg er 55 år, kvinde og oprindelig fra Fyn.
I min fætters restaurant serverer vi chips til vores dagens ret. Når det er Flæskesteg eller helstegt kylling.
Sounds Great!
Well look at that, first clip and it's my hometown.
Hej. Great town,
Nice to see a video from my birthplace/town Sk**rn
Hej. Hopefully you enjoyed it. Yes we live close to Sk****n.
Tell you live in Jutland without telling me you live in Jutland
6:45 xD
Yep. That is where we are at!
On a note. The "pepper and cinnamon" is only a tradion that happens in "rural parts or between people from those rural parts that move to the cities. The rest of us do not do this, and look at that tradition with disdain.
I've experienced most of the mentioned culture shocks too and I'm from Copenhagen 😂
Hej. Thanks for your comment.Hopefully I will get to experience some Copenhagen culture shocks eventually
The general speed limit in Denmark is 80km/h.
You’re not allowed to drive faster than this on “unsigned” roads.
Hej Memexd. Thanks for the tip! I was trying to point out how the other road users drive around my region. I am too scared to drive like the locals
We don't do that gravy stuff here in Copenhagen...
😂😂😂😂 You got our number mate! From the looks of it, you're very much out west, although the bridges have allowed the sauce on the bøfsandwich to sneak further east.
Utes would be great, and for a while quite a bit of them were sold, but it got killed off by taxes and environmental laws. Sorry. 🤷♂️
Hej Martin. Yes we are in the west. Like I said, hopefully the new Queen takes pitty on us poor uteless citizens and cuts the tax on utes
@whatisbrendanuptonow7552 Perhaps you can get a cultural minority pass on it, coming from Oz, but us leverpostejdanskere stand as much of a chance of it as an ice cube in hell on welcome day. 🤣🤣🤣
Everybody here have heard about it and of course know the old traditions...but most of this cinnamon and pepper spraying only exists the country side of Denmark...I have lived in south east of Denmark for few years, and many more years in Copenhagen, . I have never seen it in real life myself. You might buy som pepper in the store, and rap it up as a joke, but that's it.
There is a difference between the tradition in the different part of Danmark, but I did not recognize much in this video, except that it's funny and entertaining😊
Glad you enjoyed it. Hopefully I will get to Copenhagen soon
As usual, when I read or hear foreigners describing Denmark, I find it difficult to recognize their perceived reality. Has it something to do with my age or the fact that I live in a village 10 km to the west of the Jelling stones?
There are no speedlimits, unless you get caught.
I am a Dane and a lover of sovs, but never had a bøf sandwich or chips with sovs.
But I am already on medicine to reduce my cholesterol, so I'll skip it.
Probably a good idea. I was actually quite inteligent until I got hooked on the grill food.
I got an airfryer a while back when I had a hanking for fries.
It helps to avoid some of the fat, but I think the frozen fries are already treated with some unhealthy oil, and making fries yourself is a bit complicated, and defeats the idea of the food being easy to make.
But at least it's a step in the right direction if you're picking "grill food".
I really like a "pølse mix", if you haven't tried that yet.
Fries and fried sausage bits, with remoulade and curry ketchup(and some people get onions and other stuff).
@@Valjean666dk I am a Polse mix man too. But we very rarely actually eat out due to budget reasons. And my wife has recently had to go on a strict healthy diet so the days of the grill house are over for me.
@@whatisbrendanuptonow7552
I can make a pølsemix in my air fryer.
So that's a lot cheaper.
And a little more healthy.
But that's still not something to do often.
I like to make large soups in my 10L pot.
It stretches the money and is something I don't have to watch.
So the prep time is mostly cutting veggies.
Due to meat prices I tend to make cabbage, chicken and curry soup.
A 1,3kg chicken for 40 kr. and a large cabbage head, and I'm well on my way to a thick soup.
Fry some bits of bacon, add those and the fat.
Some extra frozen veggies (broccoli and cauliflower usually).
Curry, paprika, chili and maybe som barbeque spice and some boullion cubes.
Top it off with some low fat cream after it has been simmering a long time and everything is cooked well.
And personally I like to add some Hermesetas artificial sweetener, because it really enhances the flavor.
And some cheap ciabatta bread goes well with it.
As a native Dane I approve this message😅
Thanks Don. Glad you enjoyed it
pouring brown sauce OVER the chips .. no no sir.. we dip the chips in the sauce... we hate soft chips.... you made a big faux pas and the cinnamon thing he made is actually pretty dangerous using that amount of power with cinnamon... the chemical KUMARIN is in large quantitiers harmfull... BUT it's still a super funny event....
I will dip just for you next time
only danes that cant cook a patato will find chips a good idea
Commonly known as a "Sovse ske", use the chip as a spoon for the sauce ;)
There are many reasons why we don't use pickups in DK.
You can only be 2-3 people in them. They are noisy. Bad fuel economy. Usually cheaply built. And probably more, I forget atm.
Thanks for the comment. Each to their own taste. But usually if there is no tax issue, more than 3 people can sit in a ute
@@whatisbrendanuptonow7552 You need to be able to use a seat belt in DK. Only classic cars are excluded. Hence why you also can't sit in the bed of a pickup or in a trailer.
good vid ! it was funny xD Skål
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it
As a dane in Australia, the most revolting thing I ever tasted was Vegimite.🤮
It is an aquired taste. I do have a jar of vegimite here in Denmark if you would like to try it again another time
Try marmite.
It's even worse...
Brun sovs is not a sauce, it is in fact a gravy. It may translate such as, but a sauce is rather more liquid like redwine sauce. Brun sovs needs to be thiccccc
Hej. Thanks for the tip. I do like gravy as it is a little thicker just like me
5:30min Laughed my ass off :D :D :D
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks
oh you are on the vest cost
Yep
Regarding the use of the flag at birthday parties. It is not uncommon to hear kids mentioning the flag as the ‘birthday flag’. To us it is not about patriotism or military, but a thing that symbolises ‘Us’ as in ‘all of us together and united’.
I will immediately follow you 👍
Thanks for the information. I learn more every day.
bøfsandwich without gravy is a sin. also never heard of potato chips with gravy on top seen ppl dip them before.
Hi Freja. Thanks for your comment. Yes, the brown sauce rocks! But also I did try dipping my chios, but due to the fact that I am a pig, I found that dipping takes too long to eat. Quicker to just shovel them in. Then the chips never have time to go soggy.
Crisps draped in Gravy. also known as "Jyde-Nachos"
The speeds and Trailers.... let me guess Central Jutland. the "Wild West of Denmark" . region with highest average Land Mass per Policeman and at least a few years ago, the region with highest average speed and most guns per resident. go figure.
your onto it: I never realised the statistics until you just pointed them out now. It makes me feel very proud now that you put it that way
You really don't have to worry too much about oupsetting the danes, most of us are pretty chill and have a lot of self irony, we can handle a few jokes here and there. Hell we make most of them ourselves.
Hej. Yes the Danes seem to have a great sense of humor. And one of the main reasons we love living here is due to the amazing Danish people and their wonderfull hospitallity
Listen closely in eastern denmark a bøfsandwich does not have brown sauce and chips with brown sauce is a crime
the bueff ......
Cars in DK are extremely expensive, so we can not afford pickups with rear seats (white numberplates)
Yea copy that Mate. That is why I am hoping the Queen cuts the tax on utes
As a native Copenhagener (Københavner) these customs seem just as alien and strange as it might to you 😅😅
Jeg er sikker på at I bor i Jylland. Det meste af det her, finder ikke sted på Sjælland eller i de større byer
No No No!!! we dip the potato chips in the gravy. Not cover our chips with gravy.
Sorry about that! I did try dipping, but it takes too long.
There's no brown sauce and pickled beet root in or on a bøf sandwich.
I think most people would rather want to own a trailer because there is a lot of expense in having an additional car just for the sake of not having a trailer
Each to their own. But if I had a ute, I wouldn´t have another car. Just drive the ute every day.
@@whatisbrendanuptonow7552 It becomes a problem if you have a family. If you need 5 seats then a truck like that costs an insane amount compared to a very functional and comfortable normal car.
There is also the matter that you can share a trailer. My neighborhood has 2 trailers that they collectively share. Others have a trailer they can let a relative use. You cannot do that with a truck.
Hej Alex. I would like to remind everyone that these videos are for entertainment purposes and should not be used for serious conversation. There was a sarcastic point that Australians have big utes and only ever drive them to take the kids to school. Just a little fun. I wouldn´t think that taxes will ever be cut to make vehicles affordable.
@@whatisbrendanuptonow7552 I know, I am just explaining why we choose to do so.
This is so Jylland coded
That Australian car gotta be hella expensive with our tax on gas here but hey if you got the money. Welcome to Denmark btw hope you find it comfortable
That is why the Aussie Queen has to slash the tax on utes. Then we can all afford one!
Cheers Mate
Ja kage er altid godt.
Det er så jysk som det kan være, Legoland, brunsove på chips og bøfsandwich, trailer osv.. XD
dude you are funny
If people don't move on a narrow road you just pull your car more and more to the center off the road. THEN they will move! 🤣🤣
This is Jylland it’s a whole different country from Sjælland 😂
Very nice video!
The cinnamon and pepper thing: Never heard of it, and I've lived in Denmark for 68 odd years. Ans some evens, too.
About the bøfsandwich: Never saw, let alone ate anything like what you showed us. This is not a critique! I just think you live in Ribe or Tønder, or somewhere close to the german border. Come, come to Copenhagen, København, and you can eat real food! More choices in a more globally oriented part of the world. Seems like people in Jylland (Jutland) are still back in the sixties, when America was progressive........................
Potato chips with brown sauce: see comments above. Never heard of it. I live in the capital city.
About driving: Now I know you're just joking. I admit you're funny, or fynno if you will. We also have the famous flying cows delivering milk shakes to people with diabetes...
About the trailers: We here in Copenhavn call it "jydekrog", Jutland or jute hook. Because you have them in Jutland predominantly. Nice thing in the country side. And it confirms my theory about your "situation"...
And I saw the sign saying Skjern, which puts you in the area of Ribe again. One of the oldest towns in DK.
I wish you good and better luck, and welcome to our kind of crazy!
Nice music, too!
