My Usual Lunchtime Rant

I understand there's a great importance to allowing yourself to open up to the culture where you live. I tried the liver pate, I've slept with the wierd flat pillows and even forgotten how to drive a car. But one thing I just can't live with is the sandwiches. What would I have to do to get a turkey sandwich in this country? Apparently, kill someone. Danes hate turkey. It's so dry they say. This coming from people who slice cold meatballs and use that instead of lunch meet. I understand its not fancy to just have a few slices of deli meat with a slice of cheese and some mustard, but can we skip the strange beet sauer kraut or sliced eggs with tiny shrimp? This country loves a piece of rye bread with sliced hard boiled eggs topped with baby shrimps and mayo. You know, it's not bad... I just miss a turkey club. There is also rarely a place to buy deli sliced turkey in the supermarket. Even if you find it, it's 6 slices for 5 dollars. Danes never put more than one slice of meat on a sandwich. They also love mayonaise. There is mayo on most sandwiches and always offered with pizza. I'm not sure why.

Other strange food facts...
- Light beer here is light in alcohol.
- Cola, Doritos and other snack foods are sometimes categorized as 'Original American Flavor.'
- No ice in drinks.
- 7-11s have no fountain soda machines.
- 'Toast' is not just bread, but a pressed ham and cheese sandwich on white bread.
- Danes have never heard of bread bowls.

Anyway, now that I've been dreaming of an American lunch all day, I'll get back to my Danish day.
