Scenes from a Copenhagen Food Tour

We loved our Foods of Copenhagen food tour with Fie. We tried smorrebord, grod, sparkling beer, danish pastries, cheese, chocolates, licorice, and fermented fries served with really yummy Korean fried chicken — so good, and we learned a lot about Danish culture and history, too. Highly recommended!
