Red pølser from a supermarket

Rød pølse (Red sausage, listen) is a type of brightly red, boiled pork sausage very common in Denmark.

They are made of the Vienna type and the skin is colored with a traditional red dye (carmine).[1]

Traditional preparation

Rød pølse are to be heated in hot water and are commonly served with remoulade, mustard or ketchup, fried onions and pickled sliced cucumber (gherkin).[2]
