The anatomy

Vessel
Danish ristet bun
Sausage
Danish red polse
Region
Copenhagen

A toasted bun, a vivid red Danish polse, and the full pølsevogn arsenal: remoulade, ketchup and mustard, finished with raw and crispy onions and pickle slices.

Method

  1. 1Toast the bun and warm the red polse.
  2. 2Lay the polse in the bun.
  3. 3Stripe on remoulade, ketchup and mustard.
  4. 4Pile on raw onion, crispy fried onions and pickle slices.

Tasting notes

Maximalism done right. The bright-red polse snaps, then the trifecta of sauces and the double-onion hit (raw and crispy) plus tart pickle slices land all at once. Balanced chaos.
