Flæskestegssandwich
Flæskesteg is the most treasured part of the pork for Danes — it's the loin piece with the skin. The flæskestegssandwich contains the bun, flæskesteg, French dressing, braised red cabbage, and pickled cucumbers. As a non-Dane, I think the flæskestegssandwich is one of the top three burgers you can ever try on earth because it's crispy pork, it's warm, and the skin is completely shattering when you bite into it. You also have the combination of the remoulade and the sweet braised red cabbage. The whole bite comes together perfectly. This is one of those bites you have to try when you're here.
