You just gotta love Denmark. There is simply nothing NOT to love about Denmark. The people are mostly very laid-back and friendly. They serve great (but maybe not so healthy) food. The country is all flat, so no steep hills to climb. Very relaxing. Shopping is also way better than in Norway. Don't even get me started talking about Danish design. Hooray!
Most importantly, though, you are NEVER frowned upon if you happen to be a bit "happy" around lunch-time. The highlight of any trip to Copenhagen is Saturday lunch. This year, two people even flew up and down from Oslo on the day, not to miss it. I guess I should really keep "our" place a secret, to avoid it being crowded with (other) drunk Norwegians. But - since "sharing is caring" - I have left you a tiny clue. This place has it all. Great food, friendly waiters, and - last but not least - this is the place where we can sing, shout and do the limbo - during our meal. Talk about taking multitasking to a whole new level! We also try to speak Danish. Which is an extremely difficult language*.
I have no idea if the "fedtegrever" was any good. It is just too embarassing to ask what it is the third time you eat it. I skipped the herring (sild) and the eel (ål), though. Otherwise, most of it went down. We left the scene of the crime after FIVE hours, with a new reservation for 10 people. Same time/same place next year. I bet the waiters were thrilled. A big tip always helps.

Og Kierlighed er ikke Had,
Det er for tiden hvad jeg veed
Om Smørrebrød og Kierlighed.

As usual - bets were made as to who would make it to dinner. This year we had a success rate of 50%, out of which one person threw up on the table cloth. Classy.
