丹麥人愛傳統，也愛傳統美食

In Denmark， people enjoy good meals and good times with friends and family. What Danes eat today are similar to what they ate many centuries ago. Traditional Danish food is based on what was available15 nearby from a long time ago， during Denmarks short summers. Cabbage， root vegetables， rye16 bread， fish， and pork are the most common food in Denmark. Since weather is cold in Denmark， Danes tend to eat a lot of meat all the time to stay warm.

Danes eat most of their meals at home in private. A breakfast of coffee， bread， or cereal is eaten at home. Sunday breakfast commonly includes fresh bakery bread， boiled eggs， juice， tea or coffee， and the Sunday newspaper. Open-face sandwiches with rye bread are traditional for lunch， with seafood， eggs， meats， vegetables， chocolate or fruit on top. On New Years Eve， Easter， and Christmas， Danes eat special traditional meals， once again， based on fish or pork.

Danes love sweets， particularly cake. No celebratory dinner is complete without a cake.

If you are traveling to Denmark， dont forget to get a hot dog from the Danish hot dog stand（攤位）. It is a tradition in Denmark，and， sometimes you will see a vendor17 walking down the street pulling it！ They are probably going home from work. A hot dog and a cup of chocolate milk is not anything fine， but its many Danes daily meal for work.

Drinking and eating together with family or friends is considered more important than what is actually eaten or drank.

在丹麥，大家喜歡和家人、朋友一起共享美食和美好時光。丹麥人今天的飲食與幾百年前相似。傳統的丹麥美食取材于很久以前就已經在丹麥存在的食物。丹麥夏日短暫，大白菜、根類植物、黑麥面包、魚和豬肉都是最常見的食物。由于丹麥天氣寒冷，他們總是吃很多肉來保暖。

大多數時候，丹麥人喜歡待在家里或者比較私人的地方吃飯。早餐通常是咖啡、面包或者麥片。周日早晨則是新鮮烤制的面包、煮雞蛋、果汁、茶或咖啡，再搭配星期日的報紙。傳統午餐則是單片黑麥面包三明治，鋪上海鮮、雞蛋、肉、蔬菜、巧克力或者水果。在新年前夜、復活節和圣誕節時，丹麥人會吃特別的節日餐，主要還是吃魚或者豬肉。

丹麥人喜歡甜點，特別是蛋糕。沒有蛋糕的慶祝晚餐是不完整的。

如果你去丹麥旅行，別忘了到街頭的熱狗攤買一根熱狗，這是丹麥的傳統。有時候，你會看到熱狗攤主拖著攤子在街上走，那八成是他們要收攤回家了。一根熱狗、一杯熱巧克力牛奶，不是什么高級餐食，但這正是很多丹麥人的日常工作餐。

對丹麥人來說，和家人、朋友一起吃吃喝喝這個過程，比實際上吃了或者喝了什么更重要。
