Remoulade

Denmark

Danish remoulade is not the same as the French sauce. It's a staple of the hot dog stand, where it goes on the 'pølser' with crispy onions, and the lunch table with fried plaice.

The Danish remoulade is a tangy, curried mayonnaise sauce with pickles and herbs. Served with fried fish, frikadeller and smørrebrød.
