Transcripts
good morning from a rainy day here in
Copenhagen we haven't been very lucky
with the weather but our plan for today
is we're going to go and try some Danish
Foods so if you follow our Channel
you'll know that when we get to a new
country we do love to try the Local
Foods so yeah that's what today's video
is going to be all about we've heard
some really good things about Danish
food so yeah we're really excited to try
some out yes we are in the center of
Copenhagen so we have a few stops on our
Google Maps that we want to go and check
out and uh some different types of foods
as well sweet Savory the whole lot so on
our way now to our first
[Music]
one so we're going to start off with
some pastries and we're at a place here
it's called St Peter's Bakery and we
read some really good reviews on it
online that like it's supposedly you can
get the best pastries in Copenhagen now
we're only standing outside the window
here and I can smell the cinnamon
through it we haven't decided which one
we want to get if we're being honest
we'd love to try them all they all look
amazing there is one particular that's H
quite famous I guess you'd say in
Copenhagen it's called the English
translation is snail bread so uh yeah
we're going to go and maybe maybe start
with that and we'll see how we
[Music]
go thank you very
[Music]
much so first food of the day from from
St Peter's Bakery and I'm just looking
here as well found it in 60 and 52 oo so
it's quite old we got a cinnamon bread
now I can't pronounce the name of this
I'm going to just pop it right here but
it translates to snail bread in English
and oh my God the smell of cinnamon like
smells so good so yeah this is a hair I
can see why it translates to snail
breads so as you can see it's sort of
like in the shape of a snail and then we
have some ice and sugar here I'm
guessing it's ice and sugar and and then
cinnamon inside so let's dig
in oh my God is it nice yeah the
cinnamon is really strong I love that as
soon as you bite into it you just get
the flavor of cinnamon I need to get
some of the ice and sugar need a bigger
MK I need a bigger M bigger
bite that was the bite that is gorgeous
and I think that was only like three
we've had loads of cinnamon buns before
it's something that me and Ken love but
this one is really good so St Peter's
Bakery in Copenhagen definitely come and
check it out that'd be really nice with
coffee or something or tea wouldn't off
to a good
[Music]
start all right so next up on our DIY
field tour we're at a place called tily
Food Hall so supposedly they have loads
of different types of food we're looking
for one in particular so we're hoping
they have it in
here oh the smell of food
wow right so our next food I'm very
excited for this one it's called schore
broad now I'm probably pronouncing that
so wrong but I'll put it here we suppos
it's like The Unofficial national dish
of Denmark it's hugely popular we've
actually seen them on every menu so let
me explain what it is it's an open
sandwich so there's just one piece of
bread and it's a rye bread a tin slice
at the bottom and I got the Danish
meatball one so I think that's like the
traditional one to get so the Danish
meatball I'm after asking the lady in
there who served me is beef and pork a
mixture of boat it's also served cold I
thought it would have been hot but know
it's called and then the toppings that
we have are there's like a potato salad
we have some finely freshly chopped Red
Onion we have some chives and then we
also have some coriander so yeah I'm
sure it's going to be a burst of flavors
time to dig in smells
amazing I was wondering what way you'd
eat it like do you eat it with your
hands but they give you a knife and
forks so I presume you slice it up I
think it'd be very sloppy if I went to
just eat it like that cuz it is quite a
mountain so yeah I have a little bit of
bread I a little bit of everything
there's the meatballs and
then all the
salads that was absolutely gorgeous
surprisingly very tasty for cold meat on
a but uh no it's really really
lovely that that um the Danish meatballs
are gorgeous but do you know what really
makes it I have to say it's the salad on
the top this salad I'm guessing it's
potato salad it's so creamy and it's
full of flavor can just taste the onions
the chives the coriander just a Bor of
them all
together it's actually a funny one
because I mean yeah the way we'd have a
sandwich at home would be like two
slices of bread so there's a lot of
bread flavor where you can just get the
right amount of bread flavor which is
sort of strange but it's lovely I think
it's being overpowered by the rest of it
cuz there's so much going on in
it yeah my time be filled so prices it
was 75 coron so it's about
€10 it's quite filling I mean I've only
taken like two bites out of it the meat
is quite shunky it looks small that's
the thing it looks like it's small
because it doesn't take up a lot of your
plate like yeah it looks like it's tall
it looks quite small but that's what I'm
saying it's a mountain it's quite a
stack and uh as it there's two big
chunks of meat on it as well so yeah
it's quite filling I think this is going
to be my new way to have a sandwich at
home I'm not the biggest fan of bread
and this this is perfect and again just
it makes you taste more flavors I think
and it's not overkilled by Bread you can
also get them with like loads of
different toppings um I just went for
this one just because I think it's the
traditional one the Danish meatballs but
I've seen some in there with like salmon
and loads of what toppins like so
there's quite a variety of them that you
can get but yeah I think I went for the
right one
[Music]
okay so the next place we're at is a
place called bu and we're here for
something that's I'm not sure how Danish
it is but it is very popular in
Copenhagen it's a pistachio crossant so
um yeah they sell them here this is
supposed to be the best place to get
them in town so we thought we go and
check it out also it's quite popular
look at the k
it must be
good hello can I get one pistachio
CR to go as well yeah how much 52
Corona thank you very much bye bye bye
right so we've come to a lovely little
Park it's actually quite near to the
bakery and we decided to get it as a
takeaway cuz it is quite busy it's quite
a popular Bakery but uh they they gave
us it in a little takeaway box it was
$6.99 in Euro but I thought that was
expensive but it is the signature sort
of dish I suppose or cake do you know
what I mean for the shop H it's really
popular a lot of people were ordering it
but uh here it is here I'm really I'm
dying to try
it it looks lovely and it smells really
good one between two is the general way
that we do it on these food videos we
just it just makes sense and we learned
the hard way didn't we we used to do one
each but after one you're stuffed you
never finish it and then it costs more
money so it's a good money saver share
right time to dig in pistachio is all
over my finger
already oh that tastes good right let's
have a
bite that is really really good the
crossant is proper crispy exactly the
way I love them and then the pistachio
on the inside it's really like a thck
cream so the textures just go really
really well together and there's like a
few little sort of pistachio bits then
on the outer layer of the crossant as
well it's really luscious I guess it's
going to be really filling so I'm glad
that we did get it between us it's quite
big look at the size of
it that's gorgeous trying to get more
into the middle of it to get a good bite
of the
pistachio but as you can see look how
thick it
is oh yes I can see why they're so
popular like almost everyone in the
queue in that shop was ordering these
they did sell a few few different types
of cakes but like this seem to be the
one that is beautiful I love pistachio
it's one of my favorite flavors it's
really flaky to pastry and then as M
said the combination between the
crossant and then the cream is just yeah
that's a recommendation from us
100% thumbs up is it in my
beard no
this is funny so we're just that little
Lake here we're on a bridge but we're
looking down there's a little duck on
like a floaty thing in the water I
saying he has the right idea just on his
own no one to bother him just chilling
there
right so after all that food it's time
for something a bit more fun I suppose
if you want to say so we're here now at
the second oldest amusement park in the
world it's called The tiv Gardens and
it's right here in the city center in
Copenhagen which I think is really
unique to have a te Park in a city
center so so we read online this team
Park goes back to
1843 so yeah really old and supposedly
it has like one of the oldest I think
wooden roller coasters so yeah we're
going to buy a ticket we're at the
entrance right here and we're going to
just walk in and see sort of what riots
they have and just have fun
[Music]
[Music]
okay this place is really cool we're
having a little walk around there
gorgeous flowers all over the place we
also seeing some cherry blossom trees
which is interesting cuz I didn't know
that Denmark had cherry blosom trees we
went all the way to Japan and we didn't
get to see them well yeah it's beautiful
to walk around isn't it it's very
vintage and old school retro it's kind
of it's like torted back to time or
something back in time sorry because
it's h it is a team Park but it's not
like the ones that we'd be used to
supposedly as well I read up that Disney
was really influenced by this same park
so yeah that's really interesting we can
see some roller coasters there some
quite big rides you hear the
screams this seems to be the big one
here about the screams
are you ready for it it's so funny
because since we've been in Copenhagen
we've been kind of walking on the
outsides of this and the first time we
walk by you just hear these people
screaming we were like what the hell is
that but then you see the the roller
coasters and the big swings and stuff
from the outside you know exactly that
it's a team Park but yeah the
screams oh yeah it's really cool I said
it already but that it's like in the
center of Copenhagen
so just on prices we actually paid an
entrance fee of €18 each in and that's
without any rides included so just we
can walk around and then if we want to
add on we can add on an unlimited ride
pass and that works out as an extra40 so
in total it's like 58 which isn't
actually so bad for a team Park and you
can ride anything unlimited as many
times as you want or if you weren't
really into the rides and there's only
one or two that you want to get on you
can just pay individually onto them so
it's great the way they give you that
sort of option ready to ride our first
roller coaster so we're going to go on
the oldest wooden one in the world I
think it is or one of the oldest but
this one is really unique so it actually
has a guy that sits in the middle of the
cart and he controls the speeds so yeah
very old how' you feel about that K I
feel a bit H suspect after eating all
that field now getting on a roller
coaster but we'll see St this should be
good and there's no kills as well I
think we're right at the top here
now that's crazy so we're trusting him
to control the
briak that's M it's so old old school
like he literally sits in the middle and
he has the little bre the
brief actually stand yeah look there's a
little seat there
though so we want
to okay cool I can just
tap your
phone there we
go all good lovely thank you very much
welome guys have a good
time are you ready
I'm like a child when it comes to roller
coasters I love them
[Music]
I'm just trying to keep that Fu down
it's sck I prefer it when it's
S I can't see what's
happening very different from
yeah the good news is get sick
my oh my God brilliant thank you very
much cheers thank you that was so good I
wasn't expecting it to be that quick
because of the way it's controlled but
there was some speed in that especially
on the drops that was really
Co I want to go on more
[Music]
okay so after the roller coaster there
was definitely time for a beer we've
come to a bodega I think is how you say
it which is a traditional Danish pu H so
the closest one that we came to was
about 3 minutes from the team Park so we
just popped out for a b here but uh I'll
just read the description of what
actually a bodega is it's a musty and
hazy lowkey and friendly dim kind of
place to drink and there is an
overwhelming smell of beer and heavy
tobacco and low ceilings wooden walls so
I kind of think it's like an old school
retro kind of Pub but uh the one that
we've come to although it is but take it
doesn't I don't think it's the best
representation of it but uh it's still
kind of cool to see I'd say maybe in the
outer SAR of the city you might find a
bit more authentic ones but uh yeah
we've come in for a beer and we've gone
for the che bar classic which I believe
you can only get in Denmark so you can
get chew bog around the world but I
think the chew bog classic is one that
you can only get in
Denmark cheers
cheers and the price for the two bears
was 130 Corona which is about
750 so yeah not bad now other people
that are watching might think that's
expensive if you're not from Europe
maybe for a beer but H we're comparing
it to like Ireland
prices so yeah the beer has gone really
expensive in Ireland and they're on the
way to these type of
prices can you
that oh it's so windy out I tell you
there was no season so it's absolutely
rammed in there I think the overall
feeling about Copenhagen is that we both
I think we love it I think it's a really
really good City to visit especially um
for European city it is one of our
favorites H we're a little bit surprised
how much we like it not that we had any
sort of negative feelings towards it but
I think it is a lovely city to come and
visit um it's also a for us anyway it
was a very cheap City to come and visit
our flights from Dublin were €20 each
way per person which is an absolute
steal but yeah in the summer I'd say
this place is really really nice I think
we will come back for sure in warmer
weather our accommodation that we're
staying in is the next house Copenhagen
and there's an Irish guy that actually
work there he's been living here for 3
years and he says Copenhagen in the
summer is a really special place to be
because Denmark wouldn't you know
normally get great weather it's kind of
a the summer really is the only time
their Winters and springs can be quite
similar cold windy rainy so the summer
is where everyone sort of lets loose a
little bit and he said that the people
actually uh I wouldn't say he said go
crazy but they become happier and
they're always you know outdoors and
there's a lot of drinking going on a lot
of socializing of course the city has
loads of these rivers that run on true
so a lot of people hang out by them and
just kind of have a good time enjoy
themselves and enjoy the nice weather he
said that Danish people earn their good
weather because for the rest of the year
as I said it's cold windy and rainy so I
think the summer will be a good time to
come back to Copenhagen
