Leverpostej · Aarhus
Pork liver paté baked in a loaf and served cold on dark rye bread with pickled beetroot or a slice of fried bacon. The texture is dense and spreadable; the flavour is deeply savoury with a hint of allspice.
Leverpostej has been made in Danish home kitchens since the 17th century as a way to use the full pig. Commercial production began at the Stryhns factory in Roskilde in the late 19th century and the dish is now one of the most consumed Danish foods, appearing on roughly 40 percent of all smørrebrød ordered in Denmark. The Aarhus lunch tradition treats it as the third leg of the classic herring-roast beef-leverpostej trio.
