Flæskesteg is roast pork belly with shattering crackling, juniper-rubbed, served with sweet pickled red cabbage and boiled potatoes in brown gravy. Denmark's Christmas centrepiece.
Flæskesteg has anchored Danish Christmas meals since at least the 19th century and runs as a year-round Sunday roast in Danish homes. Copenhagen's smørrebrød rooms serve a cold version on rye with red cabbage every December and through January; the canonical hot plate is at Schønnemann and Aamanns 1921.
