Summary: This Danish recipe is the taste of Mr Asks childhood. It’s a humble but delicious meal that would work at any time of day. Wiki tells you that this is a very traditional Danish dish, eaten by sailors. True or not Biksemad is the perfect comfort food, you can even buy it frozen in bags in Scandinavia! It’s also a great way to use up the last of a roast. Mr Ask prefers left over roast pork belly but you can use beef too. Biksemad is often served with an egg or two sunny side up, a side of tinned beetroot and dark rye bread plus lashings of tomato sauce. You can add other veggies into the mix too.
