All-time favourite Danish food
Stegt flæsk med persillesovs, or crispy pork with parsley sauce, is Denmark's official national food. It's a very old dish that has won the hearts, and tummies, of Danes for centuries! In the past, the pork was fried, hence the old name 'fried pork' (stegt flæsk) which the dish retains today. It's now much more common to cook the pork in the oven. The meat used is pork belly, cut into thin slices, and served with potatoes.
