A variation on this idea is a choice of sm0rrebr0d, or open sandwiches: slices of rye bread heaped with meat (commonly either ham, beef or liver p§te), fish (salmon, eel, caviar, codroe, shrimp or herring) or cheese, and generously piled with assorted trimmings (mushrooms, cucumber, pickles or slices of lemon). A selection of three or tour of these costs about 75kr.? Elsewhere, the American burger franchises are as commonplace and as popular as you'd expect, as are pizzerias, which are dependable and affordable at any time of day, many offering special deals such as allyoucaneatsalad with a basic pizza for 45kr, or a more exotic filling or dish for 4570kr. You can also get a very ordinary selfservice meat, fish or omelette lunch in a supermarket cafeteria for 4075kr. Most Danes buy snacks from the very popular fastfood stands {p0lsevogn] found in all main streets and at railway stations. These serve various types of hot sausage (pelser) for 1218kr: the long thin weiner, the shorter, fatter frankfurter, or the franske, a sausage inside a cylindrical piece of bread. Alternatives include a toasted ham and cheese sandwich [parisertoasl] for 15kr vegetarians can ask for the ham to be left out and chips [pomme frites], which come in big [store] and small {lille) forms. The size refers to the actual chips and not the portion: the former are like fat English chips, the latter American frenchfried matchstlcks; they cost around 17kr and 12kr respectively for a serving. All of the above come with various types of ketchup and mustard to order. If you just want a cup of coffee (always freshl or tea (usually a fairly exotic teabag brew), drop into the nearest cafe, where either will be 6 lOkr. You help it down with a Danish pastry {wienerbr0dl, tastier and much less sweet than the imitations sold under the name elsewhere in the world. Shops and markets An especially tight budget may well leave you dependent on shopping for food. Brugsen and Irma are the most commonly found supermarkets (usually open MonFri 9am5pm with later hours on Thurs & Fri, Sat 9amlpm or 2pm), and there's little difference in price, although you'll also come across Netto, which can be slightly cheaper but is mostly filled with freezer food. Latenight shopping is generally impossible, although in bigger towns, the DSB supermarket at the railway station is likely to be open until midnight. The best spots for fresh fruit and veg are the Saturday and (sometimes) Wednesday markets held in most towns, and you can buy sm0rrebr0d (see above) for 1540kr a piece from the special sm0rrebr0d shops, at least one of which will be open until 10pm. Dinner Dinner {aftensmadi in Denmark presents as much choice as does lunch, but the cost is likely to be much higher. The staples such as pizzerias (see above) keep their prices unchanged from lunchtime, and many youth hostels serve simple but filling evening meals for up to 60kr though you have to order it in advance, and, as with breakfast, the best tend to be in rural areas.
