A while back, one of my readers – Charles – sent me the following email about a Danish bacon dish called Stegt Flæsk (which translates to “fried pork strips”):
“I would like to mention a Danish dish that my wife’s relatives have prepared for us in the past. It’s called Stegt Flæsk. Basically, it is bacon, but unlike American bacon it is cut about 1/2 inch thick. They have made it for us when they visited and it left a huge layer of bacon grease in the bottom of the oven. Needless to say, it was awesome.”
Apparently the bacon strips are usually served with potatoes covered in a gravy/sauce and the full name of the dish is “stegt flæsk med persillesovs.” Anyone else familiar with this culinary delight?
