On my recent trip to Denmark I was taken to my friends family Cafe which is called Royal Copenhagen cafe, and I was very pleasantly surprised, which gave me the inspiration for this Post. There is a 3rd type of cuisine I have not mentioned in this blog yet and it is called “Re-invention” (the other 2 are Creation and Interpretation), this is a very interesting one which generally gets done very badly. Think about a favorite song from your past that some new band you have never heard about have attempted to re-do by putting a dance beat and a few half naked ladies in the film clip (which is the only positive point). But instead of making it better they have actually made you start hating a song you once loved, ever happened to you? Well the same goes for food, we have all tasted the work of some Chef who thinks he/she is being creative by taking a dish from traditional cuisine and putting some funky ingredients or using a new technique and in fact they end up butchering the dish. Well every so often you get the chance to taste the work of a restaurant which has paid attention to the past and tradition and conceived what can only be called a Modern day classic . In this case I am talking about Smushi’s (Sm from the danish work “smørrebrød” ( open sandwich ) Ushi from sushi), which are basically a remake of the very classic Danish open sandwich. Attention has been paid to tradition by taking classic sandwiches which have been served all over Denmark for many years and making them simply elegant. They will be Launching a book in the very near future, lets be honest who doesn’t love a great sandwich
