...on my Lenten promise and {gasp} I'm not exactly remorseful {eek!}.
Copenhagen is a foodie's heaven, filled with independent brewers, organic food, donut shops, authentic BBQ southerners would approve of, trendy taco joints, and gourmet hotdogs, plus much more. I honestly had no idea Copenhagen's food scene was so big + widely praised.
And so, I'm hoping God will forgive my indiscretions, as I fully indulged in many different cuisines this hipster town had to offer.

First downfall: the donut. Gets me every time. How can I say no, especially when it was just steps from our hotel {insert crying face}?!

If you're wondering why I went for the most sugary donut, it's because it was St. Pat's Day, so I had to go green :).
I made up for that donut by splurging on a delicious, organic, gluten-free breakfast with homemade errryyythaang. Even Ross, who had the same meal, was impressed, and he's not one for alternative diets.
My second downfall: a traditional Danish lunch, where we leisurely spent 2+ hours just relaxing, learning about the culture from our very kind + animated waiter. The meal starts with herring, moves onto a meat dish, and then finishes off with cheese, which is where I broke my second lenten promise: no dairy {you should really see these horrific videos of poor cows I've been watching... }.
The restaurant has been open for 125 years!
So. Let's talk herring, made into a traditional open-faced mini-sandwich. Woof. The Danish seem to like it, as it's everywhere, but it has to be an acquired taste.
The mains were much much better!
And ending with cheese...sorry Baby J.
Though our traditional meal was worth noting, my favorite food, and probably because it reminded me of home, was at Warpigs, a brewery + restaurant created by Mikkeller + 3 Flloyds, and located in my favorite district: the meat-packing district.

We were impressed by the array of sauces, as most restaurants in London aren't condiment-friendly {much to my dismay}.

Another notable restaurant, which I failed to take pictures of was Mother, a popular pizza place also in the meat-packing district!

With so many cuisines to offer, Copenhagen seems to be a culinary capital. I was expecting an Amsterdam {nothing to write home about} and left thinking Copenhagen was similar to a Chicago {everything to write about ;)}.
