Danes LOVE pork belly / pork with skin / pork. It’s wild. It’s also amazing. Flæskesteg is what its called, normally you eat it with potatoes and brunsovs (literally just brown sauce, it’s boring), or there is also koteletter I fad which is… creamy tomato sauce? (also amazing) usually over rice, or you can have with bernaise + rice + soy. Flæskesvær is their version of chicharrones.
Sadly can no longer indulge in it anymore but it’s fucking amazing. Danes throw down when it comes to pork.
I believe I had that once, but koteletter i fad was hands down my favourite. Esp with some soy over it. Might have to make it without the pork and see how I feel about it.
In the US it’s called chitlins? pork rinds / chicharrones depending on where you’re at. Tbh I prefer the fat on flæskesvær version because the fat has a really satisfying texture imo.
Tell me more. Not familiar with Danish food.
Well in Denmark we leave the skin on to get a crackling on the roast. Rub with lots af salt.
We use it as is , with black gravy, potatoes pickled 🥒.
Or in a sandwich
That’s called pururuca in Brazil

In Australia and the UK we like the skin as well when roasted. We call it crackling.

Everyone loves pork belly/pork with skin, not just the Danes
Obviously, but the specific context of the conversation was regarding danish food, hence the response.
