Pølse is the Danish hot dog: a red-skinned wienerpølse in a bun with remoulade, ketchup, fried and raw onion, and pickled cucumber strips. The street food of every neighbourhood.
The Danish pølsevogn (sausage wagon) appeared on Copenhagen streets in 1921 and remains a city institution after a century of continuous operation. The modern organic version dates from DØP's 2009 launch on Købmagergade by the Round Tower; the classic ristet (toasted) version still anchors counters like John's Hotdog Deli outside Central Station. The full toppings stack of remoulade, ketchup, fried onion, raw onion and pickled cucumber is the canonical 'ristet hotdog med det hele' order.
