It was certainly a girthy tentacle. lol.

I think they marinate them in some kind of sauce. As it wasn’t cooked. Or it was just super rotten and fermented.

I just landed stateside about an hour ago. and my first meal was a cheeseburger to wash my mount out.

I’d be in for that. Good food for a good cause is a win win.

How did you like your version?

We had made our own interpretation - my wife had experimented with this version over the years.

It was a layered approach with no lemon, no butter in the chopped egg.

Instead, it had a thin swath of Hollandaise under the steamed Asperges. Then topped by a layer of chopped egg mixed with a Béarnaise over the Asperges.

Two sauces and the fresh Tarragon in the Béarnaise could be sublime. Of course, BAM it with chopped fresh curly parsley for the bright color pop and respect for the Flamande roots.

Very good your take on it seems amazing.
I use parsley but i set a small pan on very low heat with butter, nutmeg ,parsley and pepper. I take my boiled eggs separate whites and yolk. Mash em up but not too much take the butter and pour it on the eggs. If i see the yolks are nit velvety i mix the mixture a bit more.
I keep it as simple as possible. :)

Wow, that looks delicious! I never really connected with my Danish ancestry aside from my affinity for Tuborg & LEGO. Would be cool to learn some of the language that I heard my great grandparents speak. This is the best we've got here: https://truetasteofdenmark.com/
