Remoulade...Cajun vs. Dansk

VS.

In writing up a shopping list for Bedstemor I thought about the difference between Cajun and Danish cooking. In Louisiana we have pink concoction called Remoulade which looks like mayo and ketchup mixed together with pickles and spices, often served on shrimp and boiled eggs. It actually looks a lot like 1000 island salad dressing, only thicker.






While I lived in Greve, Benny introduced me to the Dansk Remoulade which took me years to learn to pronounce in Danish. I liked it and we often would have a quick late night snack of Danish salami and remoulade with fried onions on rugbrød while we watched Sams Bar (Cheers) on TV. After my “housewife “Danish got better I realized why I was feeling so, um …gassy…Those were not pickled cucumbers, but cabbage and cauliflower!


Loryn has learned , over the years to love Danish Remoulade..., especially on her hot dogs or sausages. And two of the big bottles don't last the full year. Please send more, bedstemor!
