Dine like a Dane enjoying late spring: 3 smørrebrød recipes from Denmark

Denmark in late spring is a land of light and sun and people celebrating the end of the long, dark days of winter. At 9:30 at night, the streets of Copenhagen are crowded with Danes and tourists out for a late evening swim in the Nyhavn river, boat rides down the canals, or celebrating the long days with cold beer, herring, steamed mussels and French fries, and fried fish at the many cafes and pubs. There is a joyous feeling of celebration.
