I am trying to put this on a separate page along with a page of restaurant recommendations but I am having trouble with navigation to other pages so I will dump this here for now . . .
Are you an American with a picky eater, I am, so I will occasionally post some food tips and hints. My first one is for new American arrivals who are looking for hot dogs like the ones we have at home. I have an 8 year old who just wants no part of the Danish pølser with the crunchy outside and the mushy inside. I kind of like them, the red ones occasionally but he says Nej!
Well we have found a hot dog pretty close to the ones at home - try SuperBrugsen XTra Partypølser. They are about 16 DKK and he likes them fine. Don't forget the Helmann's yellow mustard from SuperBest. Also the SuperBest peanut butters that are REALLY smooth like home - Countess, Nick's, and SunPat also from SuperBest.
If you need a snacky food and they have them but they are both expensive and taste much different than the US. Their cheese flavor seem to be extra strong and don't even get me started on the strawberry flavor in the candy and baked goods. Keep it safe and buy their salt sticks, pretzels (4.5 DKK for two boxes) and the Tuks plain crackers for the picky eaters or the Sour Cream and Onion and the Paprika ones for everyone else. They rock! Food on the go here is expensive so keep a bottle of water in your bag and a pack of Tuks (pronounced tukes).
As I've said before, don't buy the 40 DKK chips. Bilka has a brand of chips and the ubiquitous bacon snacks that are always 10-13 DKK which are really good. Also, SuperBrugsen has the XTra chips in regular Salt and Sour Cream and Onion that are always 10-11 DKK. They look generic but they are good! However we are not a fan of the tortilla chips from Xtra, they are really thick tasting.
Like I said I'll try to make this a separate page when I can. Please go ahead and post your food recommendations.
