the julefrokost Christmas lunch is a major social event with traditional dishes strictly observed. The a traditional Sunday brunch atmosphere was right for this kind of food. I had æblemost apple juice as recommended and it matched well. If you want to understand what makes this cuisine distinctive, Stegt Flæsk is the place to start.
