smørrebrød
Open-faced Danish lunch
Smørrebrød is a Danish open-faced sandwich, typically a single slice of dense rye bread topped with fish, meat, cheese, or vegetables and elaborately garnished.
The word means "butter-bread" in Danish.
Unlike closed sandwiches, smørrebrød is eaten with knife and fork: We ordered three different smørrebrød for lunch.
