Fancy Pants Pølser



There’s a funny little hole-in-the wall gourmet hot dog shop attached to (and run by) the Nimb restaurant at the Tivoli amusement park. They fix-up quite the upscale version of the classic Danish hot dog which normally includes ketchup, sweet mustard, both crispy dried and raw onions, and pickled cucumber slices. The fancy pants version comes with three flavored sauces, carmalized onions, french cornichons and is topped with micro-greens--not to mention the little wooden veneer boat that it rides in... Wash that down with an Wild Elderflower soda and that is the high life.

For those interested in more nuances of Danish Pølser,

OOh! I am so jealous! I never made it there and I regret it sorely. I know it is out of line to talk of the cost of such things, but your readers might enjoy a cost comparison of the street version and the fancy pants. Wasn't it something close to a 20 dollar hot dog? Worth every Kroner I am sure.

Ah yes true! That was there a one time dog... probably cost me, including the soda, ummm 75 kroner... which is 15 bucks, yep close to 20!
Decadently delicious.
