Bøfsandwich
A bøfsandwich (literally translates to 'steak sandwich'), is the classic Danish take on a hamburger. It contains the hamburger elements of a cooked ground beef patty placed inside a sliced bread roll.
Bøfsandwiches are typically sold from hotdog stands and in traditional fastfood establishments, and have been described as an "archetypal Danish snackbar classic".[1] Some traditional Danish restaurants have also started serving gourmet versions.
Fans of the bøfsandwich maintain a Facebook page which announces "Denmark's best bøfsandwich" each year.[2][3][4]
Condiments
The traditional condiments are ketchup, brown mustard, remoulade, sliced dill pickles, raw onions, soft grilled onions,[5] and crispy roasted onions - the last being a local delicacy, not often found outside Scandinavia.
Local variations
Primarily in the Jutland region of Denmark, it is customary to serve the bøfsandwich with sliced beetroots inside and brown gravy poured over the sandwich. This version is sometimes dubbed 'gravy burger' by foreigners.[citation needed] Other local variants may include gherkins or pickled red cabbage.
International variations
In Canada, the hot hamburger, which consists of a beef patty, buns, and gravy poured on top, somewhat resembles the bøfsandwich.
