Rullepølse.

Rullepølse (Danish pronunciation: [ˈʁuləˌb̥ʰølsə]), meaning "rolled sausage" in Danish, is a typical Danish food. A piece of pork belly (but variants with beef flank or lamb are also well-known) is flattened out and is spread with herbs and seasoning (Salt, Pepper, allspice)chopped onions and in some variants also Parsley), and then rolled up.

It is then boiled and shaped into a rectangle in a special press, cooled and sliced thinly as a cold cut (Danish, pålæg) to be placed onto the Danish open-faced sandwich, smørrebrød; usually garnished with a thick slice of gelatinized bouillon (Danish, sky) and rings of raw onion.

The rullepølse also exist in a Norwegian version, Ribberull, which is made of lamb shoulder boned, flattened, sewn to form a long rectangle, rolled, pressed, and steamed, as well as in a Swedish version, rullsylta.
