Dansk Rugbrod in the US

Thanks in advance,

Well east coast yes, U.S. no. Toronto has a Danish food store on Bloor street
which sells most authentic Danish foods. I hear, from Danes, that the food
is exactly the same as if it were from Danmark, except it's fresh, not shipped
over. Toronto isn't too far away, it's pretty much considered east coast.
Only about 100 miles from Buffalo.
Anyway,

I do not know, though I wish I did! I have found a reasonable
substitute to be the German equivalent, which is available in my
local Star Market (a New England chain). Can't recall the exact
German title, but it's a lot like "rugbroed" - maybe "ruckbrot"?
Now if only I could get roeget aal (smoked eel): I'd be in heaven!

Many larger food shops in New York City (e.g., Zabars) sell Iversen rugbroed in
several different varieties (darker and ligher and with and without kernels).
This is not freshly baked the same day but is presliced and sold wrapped in
plastic. It tastes good and approximately like the better bread that is sold in
Denmark under the same circumstances. But of course it still cannot match
truely fresh bread.

After seeing all those questions about danish food that are clearly
coming from the hearts (or stomachs) of those netpeople, I wish to come out
of the closet (or pantry). I've been in the states for about two years now.
When I grow tired of the food that's available in the supermarkets here (and
possibly of the US in general), it is not my own Iceland that I long to go to
but Denmark. I have very fond memories of mornings in an old house in Frederiks-
bjerg, where breakfast and lunch would coalesce into one big meal, the doors
would be open into the garden, birds singing outside, tons and tons of rugbrod,
kaviar, roged aal, spejepolse, cheese and beer. I don't think any country I've
been to has addicted me (or my stomach) as thorougly to it's customs.
PS: I spent two weeks with my wifes relatives. I was not a Danophile before.

near Santa Barbara called Solvang; a Danish community,
very picturesque. Almost every other shop is a Danish
bakery featuring Danish pastries of all kinds. I don't
doubt that they have Danish rye bread also.

It isn't quite the same thing. Pumpernickel is darker and more bitter
than Roggenbrot. I suppose that in quinch you could substitute the german
variant for the danish "real thing" :-).

On the same track; I have a recipe for rugbroed (danish variant) which I use.
Should I post it? Is there enough interest?

Hello all,
I'll be driving up the California coast next week, destination
San Francisco, and I wanted to stop off in Solvang along the way.
Since our destination is much further north, would anyone like
to send me suggestions of what to do there *other* than drinking?
Someone has to drive, and that someone's probably going to be
me since the road gets rather windy further on and I get carsick...
:( We will probably only get to spend about three hours there
unless there's something that will interest my companions. One
of them is a Texan who has NEVER been out of the Dallas and
Houston area. (!!)
Roger had mentioned bakeries, but didn't name any. Any suggestions
are welcome! Please post if you think that this topic would
interest others. If not, please send me email:
Thank you in advance,
Merri

several times and tried several each time. My favorite visit
is the one where my wife and I stop at a bakery to load me up
with goodies, then I follow her around to all the craft,
trinket, and other boutique-type places while she threatens
to spend MONEY! All of the bakeries we've stopped at meet
my approval (if it's pie, torte, cookie, cake, or donut,
I approve). You'll see me if I'm there. I'm the guy with
the chocolate eclair cream on my chin.
