Skærtorsdag in Dänemark: Traditionen und Gebräuche

Skærtorsdag, auch bekannt als Gründonnerstag, ist ein wichtiger Feiertag in Dänemark, der traditionell am Donnerstag vor Ostern gefeiert wird. Der Name „Skærtorsdag“ leitet sich vom altnordischen Wort „skær“ ab, was so viel wie „rein“ oder „heilig“ bedeutet. An diesem Tag gedenken die Dänen des letzten Abendmahls Jesu Christi mit seinen Jüngern.

I denne tid kommer motorcyklerne ud på vejene. Forud for sæsonen opfordrer politiet motorcyklisterne til at have øget fokus på deres egen sikkerhed i trafikken. Årets motorcykelsæson i Syd- og Sønderjylland begynder traditionen tro med motorcykeltræf på Torvet i Esbjerg Skærtorsdag. Syd- og Sønderjyllands Politis Færdselsafdeling vil igen i år være til stede og gennemføre en indsats med fokus på, om de to-hjulede trafikanter overholder spillereglerne i færdselsloven. Forud for sæsonen opfordrer politiet desuden motorcyklisterne til at have øget fokus på deres egen sikkerhed i trafikken. For hvert år sker der alvorlige trafikulykker, hvor motorcyklister er involveret. Gode råd til motorcyklisterne Overhold hastighedsgrænserne. Dødsulykker med motorcykler skyldes ofte for høj fart, og at andre fejlvurderer, hvor hurtigt du kører. Hold øje med dine medtrafikanter. Husk, at de kan have svært ved at se dig. Køb korrekt motorcykeludstyr fra top til tå: Hjelm, handsker, rygskjold, fodtøj og jakke samt bukser, så du er bedre beskyttet i tilfælde af ulykker. Gør dig synlig med refleksvest og hjelm i pang-farver. Sørg for, at din køreteknik er i orden. Hvis din rutine er rusten, så tag et køreteknisk kursus. Gode råd til bilisterne Vær forberedt og hold ekstra øje. Man kan nemt overse en motorcyklist i trafikken. Brug god tid på at orientere dig. Brug spejlene og hold øje med motorcykler, der er langt væk. De kan komme kørende hurtigere, end du tror. Se dig ekstra for, når du krydser en vej.

Easter traditions in Denmark

Besides the usually egg hunt and eating a lot of chocolate eggs there are a few other easter related traditions in Denmark.

Påskefrokost: Literally means “easter lunch”. It’s a social gathering where you celebrate easter with alcohol and lots of food. Usually celebrated with either your friends, family or co-workers. At a påskefrokost you eat a lot of different dishes. On the table you would usually see eggs, fish, bread, meat balls, dessert with lemon, etc. People will usually drink easter beer which is known as “påskebryg” in Danish.

Gækkebrev: A letter cut into a creative pattern (google it and you’ll see) with a small rhyme written inside. Instead of writing your name at the end of the letter (e.g. “yours sincerely, [name]” or “from [name]”) you replace your name with dots (e.g. “from …….”). It is now up to the receiver to guess who send it! If the receiver guesses who send the letter, the sender owes them an easter egg. If the receiver do not guess it, they owe the sender an easter egg.

If you have any questions or feedback feel free to submit a question/feedback at danishwithemi.tumblr.com/ask and I will answer as soon as possible.

Skærtorsdags tal for indlagte og døde:

Faldet i indlagte fortsætter i alle kategorier. Der er nu indlagt 433 (20 færre end i går), heraf 120 på intensiv (7 færre) og 100 i respirator (3 færre). Det er de laveste tal siden 27. marts, altså i næsten to uger.

Danish Recipe Remix: 19th Century Nine-Cabbage Soup

“Cabbage soup? Gross!” is the general response when the topic of this 19th Century Danish classic, “Skærtorsdag søbekål,” is broached. But if you know how to make it right, cabbage soup can be a delicious (and highly nutritious!) meal.

The Thursday before Easter is called Skærtorsedag, and it’s a public holiday despite most Danes not celebrating it in a traditional or religious sense. In English, it’s called “Maudy Thursday,” and commemorates the last supper of Jesus Christ with the Apostles. In the 19th Century, this was a big deal. And what better way to celebrate a big deal day than with a nine-cabbage soup? Ja?

Also known as Skærtorsdag søbekål, the soup was eaten because it was packed with nutrients that would ensure health for the coming year. As a bonus, the soup would ward off evil demons (and the soup was probably capable of warding off many other things. Toot toot!)

  Skærtorsdag søbekål is made with seven or nine kinds of cabbage (due to superstition), or an odd number of different greens if cabbage was too difficult to obtain. But: NINE kinds of cabbage?! Is this even possible? If you include cabbage cousins broccoli, brussels sprouts and the gang, it is! I enlisted the culinary skills of chef Albin Blomkvist to create a recipe with greens and marrow that is super healthy. Albin not only did this, but also produced a soup that actually looked and tasted good; now that’s culinary skill!

Try this delicious and nutritious cabbage soup recipe, remixed from the 19th century Danish classic:

9 cabbage soup – Skærtorsdag Søbekål

Serves 4

Ingredients

                                1 head of White cabbage  

1 head of Savoy cabbage  

1/2 head of Pointy red cabbage  

Black kale / Cavolo nero  

Green kale  

1/2 head of Cauliflower  

8-12 Brussel Sprouts  

1 head of Broccolini  

1/2 head of Romanesco  

                                    Also

4-6 kg of Pork bones (Nøgleben)

2 Shallots

Thyme

Sea salt

  What you need

A large pot

A small pot

Frying pan

Ice bath

Chopping knife and/or food processor

Hand blender

Optional: food dehydrator

  Instructions

Roast your pork bones at 180 degrees celsius for approximately 30 minutes, or until thoroughly roasted and dark brown.

Dice two larger shallots and saute them in a large pot. When the onions are just starting to caramelize, add your roasted pork bones to the pot.

Add cold water until it barely covers the bones. Bring to a boil and then turn down to simmer. Have a ladle ready to skim off any foam that forms on the top. This is the stock for your soup.

Add a handful of thyme. Optional: add a diced apple, dash of white wine or chopped and sauteed garlic.

Let your stock simmer for at least 30 minutes before straining the liquid into another pot. Let the liquid reduce until you have a taste and thickness that you’re happy with. This is going to be the base of your soup, so you’ll want strong flavors.

Using a knife, mandolin slicer or food processor, shred the white and savoy cabbages. Add the shredded cabbage to the stock and let it simmer.

Now it’s time to process the other vegetables. Leaving out the brussel sprouts, chop all your remaining vegetables to bite size pieces. Drop the pieces into boiling, salted water. After 10-20 seconds, remove and drop them into iced water for the same amount of time as blanching (10 – 20 seconds). This will immediately stop the cooking process and keep your vegetables at the perfect texture. Once vegetables are blanched, put aside.

Halve the brussel sprouts and fry them on the cut side in a thin layer of olive oil. Remove from frying pan and put aside, combining them with the blanched vegetables.

Brush the blanched cavolo nero (black kale) generously with olive oil and bake on a tray at 120 degrees celcius for 10 minutes or until crispy. You can also do this in a food dehydrator overnight if you’re very fancy. Once done, remove from baking tray and combine with all other vegetables.

By the time you have your other vegetables ready, the savoy and white cabbage should be cooked. Make sure of this by pressing some of the shredded vegetables against the side of the pot to see how easily the pieces break. When the fibers of the cabbage are broken down so that they pieces easily come apart, use your hand blender until the ingredients are smooth.

If the soup is too thick, just add a splash of water or milk. When the consistency is to your liking, add salt and pepper to taste.

Layer and mix your seven different kinds of cabbage in the bottom of your bowl, then pour the stock into the bowl along the side. This way you have a soup base with all your favorite kinds of perfectly cooked kale and cabbage in the middle.

Now enjoy your cabbage soup! Toot toot!

Amagerdigte Af Asger Schnack Hvert år i påsken kommer jeg uvægerligt til at tænke på Klaus Rifbjerg, der indskrev påsken i moderne dansk poesi med sin suite af sådan set enkeltstående digte i ”Amagerdigte” (1965), ”Palmesøndag”, ”Skærtorsdag”, ”Langfredag”, ”Påske” og ”Anden påskedag”, hvoraf det sidste er særlig berømt (og ofte antologiseret).
