How difficult are Danish dishes to prepare?

The Danes use bread and potatoes as a staple food in their diet, but they have many dishes that include neither. People who try Danish dishes often find some that are quite appealing. Their pastries are especially loved by people in all regions of the world.

The rye bread made in Denmark is especially tasty and is used for open faced sandwiches. Typically, their sandwiches are not made with two pieces of bread, as they are in many places.

Danish cuisine has changed in the recent past. They make more "light" meals than they used to and fewer "heavy" meals. The more modern dishes have been heavily influenced by Italy, France and Spain. Older Danes, many times, are still happier making more traditional dishes.

Many Danish foods are preserved, too, allowing them to last longer. They use pickling, air-drying, smoking or salting as a means of preserving foods. It's important that their meals can last since they need to hold people through their long winters.
